DOUGHBDYS ENJOY
VISIT IN TREVES

TREVES. Germany, Dec. L-(By
tho Associated Press)- went to
sleep tonight with American forces in
possession of the city. To all outward
appearances the inhabitants were
pleased in a way, at the coming of the
Americans. All the cafes and restau-
rants and those stores which were
opened, did an excellent business Sun
day
At first, early in the day, the popu
lation regarded the Americans with
great curiosity, the adults staring
without being rude and the children
flocking around the American autOmO-
biles, wherever they stopped in the
streets. As the day passed the curios
ity wore off and tonight American Of
ficcrs dining in restaurants attracted
only slight attention.
Soldiers off duty went about the
streets of the city to the shops and
soldiers restaurants, just as if they
had been in Treves for weeks instead
of hours. Late tonight the doughboys
who speak German inumated they
would like Treves better than they an
ticipated.
In the best restaurants there was no
noticeable shortage of food, except for
the lack of bread, butter and sweets.
Soup cost one mark a plate; Moselle
trout a foot in length, four marks:
rump steak with potatoes and chopped
cabbage eight marks; so-called apple
sauce containing apples, turnips and
sugar, two marks; and Moselle wine,
twenty two marks a quart.
In spite of the war time prices, the
soldiers who went to the cheaper
restaurants obtained a meal of soup,
meat and potatoes from five to six
marks. Coffee was served, but it cost
three marks a cup.

TORESUME THE
GRAND AVE.L|NE
Street Railway Company Is
Granted An Extension of
Time by Corporation Com
mission to Start Service

The state corporation commission
has extended the time within which the
Phoenix Street Railway company must
resume operations on the Grand ave-
nue. line from December Is, the date
fixed in its order, to January 10.
Last week the commission denied the
company's request for a rehearing, and
objection was made to the order on
technical grounds. 1t was contended,
among other things, that the denying
motion had been signed by Commits
sioner Belts, though with the consent
of the other commissioners, without
their physical presence.
In order to obviate any consequences
of this objection, the commission va
Gated that order and entered another
denying the motion for a rehearing and
extending the time to January Is for
the completion. and resumption OF
operation of the line
Subsidy Was Small
That objection was not all that was
interposed by the company to the orig
inal order of the commission. Its juris-
diction was denied and the circum-
stances in which the company found
itself was pleaded. An interesting view
on the subject of subsidies was pre-
sented. Replying to the suggestion that
the company was bound by its accept
ance of a subsidy from persons living
along the line that had been aban-
doned, the company stated that that
subsidy amounted to about $500.
Following a general practice of
street railway companies, it had I'M
dertaken at the request of citizens,
those living along the Brill line and the
Hollywood line, as we'll as the Grand
Avenue line, to extend its ines into I'M
settled territory for the purpose of de-
veloping them. 1t had accepted sub
sides from interested persons. These
subsidies were in the nature of in
vestments.
The railway company had also spec
ulated on the building up of these new
territories. There had been failures as
to this one, and the company felt that
it was unjust to compel it to assume
the whole burden of the failure by con-
tinuing. the losing experiment.

a word. Cold beads of preparation
were on his forehead as he returned it
to Constable Morrell. When he reached
the Jail he asked for ]. H. LangSton,
assistant United States attorney, who
has beensa friend to him in past trou-
bles. The two men discussed the case
but Langston, it is understood, will
not act as counsel because of his con-
nection with the federal court.
Case Made Sensation
The developments in the case yes
terday caused a great sensation. Hol-

of the World lodge and had made ap-
plication for and been accepted in the
Elks lodge News of his arrest spread

the death of Mrs. HollingsWorth

diately notified De Souza and ordered

NURSE ACCUSES

G. H. Hollingsworth Placed
Under Arrest Last Night
After Woman Nurse Tells
Of His Alleged fortunes

Accused of the murder of his mother
by a series of tortures that caused a
sensation when recounted on the stand
in justice court by the nurse who de-
clared they were true, C. H. Hollings-
worth last evening was placed under
arrest, charged with the alleged crime.
Following an inquest held before

turned verdict that death in the case
of Mrs. Ellen Hollingsworth was hast
ened by the brutal treatment of her
son." warrant was sworn cut for
HollingsWorth. Constable Roy Morrell
made the arrest shortly afterward
No attempt was made to furnish
bond, which De Souza placed at s15,0 900.
Says He Tortured Mother
By the nurse, Mrs. ]. l.. Horton, who
cared for Mrs. Hollingsworth during
her last illness, the son is pictured as
guilty of one of the most atrocious
crimes ever committed in Maricopa
county. On the witness stand she
charged him with striking and beat
ing his mother, binding her to her bed
while she pitifully cried to be allowed
to get up, gagging her when her cries
could be heard by the neighbors, and
finally with administering excessive
doses of narcotic drugs. She cited
evidences of his alleged cruelty which
she declared his aunt, sister of Mrs.
Hollingsworth commended, stating re-
peatedly that her sister would be bet
ter off dead" When she could no
longer stand by and witness this
course of conduct, Mrs. Horton, testi-
fled that she reported the matter to
George Brisbois, chief of police, and
that the matter was also placed before
the county attorney.
Calls. 1t Spite Work
Charging his arrest to the spite work
of the nurse who was dissatisfied at
her salary, Hollingsworth protested
| his innocence when seen at the county
Jail. He said he had been threatened
with a civil suit by Mrs. Horton, whom
he engaged to care for his mother at
SO a day. She demanded IS, he said,
but that at the rate by which she ac-
cepted employment there was still
some $50 due her.

for the four first line divisions to COM
plete their crossing into German terri
tory, although the start was made soon
after daylight Sunday.
The advance into Germany was held
up by the limited number of bridges
across the Sauer and Moselle rivers.
The principal bridges used were those
at Echternach, Rosplrt and Wasserbil-
lige on the Sauer, and Grevenmacher,
Wormeldange and Remicho on the
Moselle.. Several small bridges and
fords between these villages were util-
lied by various units.
In the village Of Cordell, north of
Treves, three war weary German SOL
diers arrived home by train from the
north, Just as the American advance
guard reached the village. A handful
of villagers ives at the station to meet
the returning Germans. The wives of
the returning soldiers were in the
crowd. The appearance of the march
ing Americans appeared to awe two of
the Germans and their families. This
was not the case, however, with the
third soldier, whose wife took him by
the hand and led him through the viii
lage street past the columns of Amer
