MANY HOMES OFFERED
 ID CHRISTMAS BABY

That many home awaits the Christ mas baby offered for adoption, was made evident yesterday when Proba- tion Officer B. r. McFall answered as many as half hundred telephone calls from Tempe, Mesa and Phoenix, from those eager to take the little girl into their heart and home.
 The placing of the baby now remains with the mother and the county at terney who will attend to the legal aspects of the case.
 Mr. McFall, through the medium of The Republican, sought a home for the child whose parents believe her best interests demand her being legal ly adopted. The probation officer has had scores of responses and has con- suited with the mother who when sat isfied with the family presenting its claim, will ir court sign over her rights to her child.

GOVERNOR BACK FROM
 PRISON; FINDS III WELL RUN BY NEW WARDEN

Governor Campbell, Chairman Bau- inert of the commission of state insti- tutions, and other members of the com mission returned yesterday from Flor ence, where they had been called to investigate the deplorable condition of the electric light plant and the water system of the institution. They found both bad enough.
 But they found the prison being run well under the new administration, and considerably tighter than it had been. The prisoners are being shown that they are in prison. c. G. Powell, the new warden, in the short time he has been there, has disclosed a satis- factory measure of executive ability. The governor brought back with him two trophies. One of them is a great wooden key, heavily gilded, and the other is a dangerous looking dirk, of local manufacture. The key was pre- sented to the governor on his arrival. The dirk, made of a hinge of light steel, was taken from a struggling Mexican in the yard just as the governor was about to leave. It has a blade more than six inches in length and a half inch in width, sharp as a needle at the point.

GOVERNMENT EXPERT. SENT ID GOOD ROADS
 CONF FERENCE HERE

Among the good roads experts and officials from outside the state who will be here at the good roads con- ference on January 27, is E. $. Wheeler of the office of public roads and rural engineer of the department of agriculture, with headquarters at Albuquerque.
 In telegram from MT. Wheeler to Dwight B. Heard, president of the Ari- zona Good Roads association, it was stated that he would arrive in Phoe- nix on the night of January 26. MT. Wheeler wires that he had been di- rected by the secretary of agriculture to address the meeting.
 Mr. Wheeler is well known to all in the west who have taken an interest in the subject of good roads. He has been in charge, in this part of the country, of those plans of the govern ment for road construction involving cooperation between the federal gov ernment and the states.
 This meeting will be the most i'm portant good roads meeting ever held in the state, partly because the minds of citizens are more thoroughly than ever turned to the matter of good roads and partly because of the neces- sity of providing employment for re- turning soldiers, something that can be more quickly done and with more effective results in the initiation ot good roads projects.
 There will be present at the meet ing, good roads enthusiasts from every part of the state and from adjacent states, for it has come to be generally recognized that good roads projects are not really intra- state enterprises. .
 Every feature of the subject vii receive thorough attention, the raising of funds, the administration of then and all the better plans that have beer proposed for both. This meeting should be attended, not only by al who are interested in modern roaC building, but an all citizens, for al will shortly become interested. It ]: a subject which within the next few months will be more widely and gen. erally discussed than any other.

SAVE THOUSANDS IF
 LIVES IF CHILDREN
 |S TASK 0F DRIVE
SaNa lifel
Yes, the life of a little child.

4eS, the lie Of little child.
 Not one, not hundreds, not thou sands, but hundreds of thousands.
 This is the task which the united drive for relief in the near east has undertaken, according to a statement issued today from state headquarters.
 Forty five million dollars must be raised in the United States before Feb ruary ' if these little children, 100000 of them, are to be snatched from the jaws of lingering death.
 February 10-17 has been set as the dates for the great triple drive. in which it is hoped to raise $150,000 as the pioneer states share in this great humane undertaking.
 The situation is fOreefully put in a recent appeal by Jacob H. Schiff, rec ognized nationally as a banker and philanthropist, who says:
 q wish to sound for you the most terrible cry, the most urgent call for aid that Jewish ears have heard in three thousand years. I wish to have you hear the final call before the death of a whole Jewish people-about to die. I wish to ask you to look with me at a scene of absolute misery and starvation that Jewish martyrdom in all it's history has never equaled. wish to ask you to look with me upon a whole Jewish people-actually about to die,'
 And what applies to the Jews applies with equal force to the Syrians, Ar menians and other peoples of the near east, for whose benefit the coming l drive is purposed.

The shooting occurred at the Harmon Motor companys show room on North First street, the shots at tracing a crowd. It was many min utes before the officers could place Van Ritter under arrest, he having retreated to the middle of the street.
 Woolf was confined to his bed for months after the shooting, being para lyzed below the hips. He has improved only recently, and it is said will be in condition to testify at the trial.

ALLOWANCES STAY PAID

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The house today passed a bill providing that re- imbursement shall not be required, eX cept in cases of fraud, for government allowances paid, but later cancelled, to persons named as dependents of en- listed men.
 Representative Treadway of Massa- chusetts, author of the bill, told the house that thousands of allowances had been cancelled by the war risk bureau after several payments had been made, the bureau holding that the benefic- iaries are not dependents, under the war risk insurance act. The bill is de- signed, he said, to relieve parents from repaying the allowances in such cases.
