Attention This Year-Had
Music and Tabieaux.

! The White Gifts Christmas enter
! tainment held at the First Christian
lchurch Sunday evening proved to be
lone OF the most effective programs
ever given there. The special music

Christmas service to be.
One hundred and twenty-five dollars
was given in money and the value of
the fruits, vegetables and other gifts
was estimated at $3.50. The money is
to be divided for several purposes:
part of it will be spent in purchasing
gift for Miss Gretchan Garst. the
living link missionary of the church
A contribution will be sent to the
Ministerial association to help care
for aged pastors; the orphans home
at st. Louis, the Armenian relief fund.
and the local charity organization
will each receive part of the money.
The goods win be divided between the
st. Louis Orphans home and the local
charity headquarters.
The presentation of the white gifts
and money by the members of each
class as they marched in long files
from the back OF the building to the

PHOENIX JAIL BREAK
 IS FOILED BY OFFICERS


 PHOENIX, June PA jail break and a possible loss of the prisoners was halted last night by the forum. ate discovery of the plot by Night County Jailer McIsaacs at about Il o'clock when he went into the body of the jail for the purpose of locking the cells for .the night, according to disclosures made this morning.
 Stories from officials and other are at variance as to the attempted jail break, but the one which appears the most authentic has it that when Me Isaacs went into the jail to lock up for the night he discovered that two convicts. Leslie McGoldrick and Ha, zen Well, and Pete Thompson, charged with automobile stealing. re- gently arrested on Sheriff Montgom- ery's ranch, were in the wrong cell. Investigation proved that they had sawed the bars almost in two with a hack saw; that they would have been able to have got out within very short time if their job had not been discovered by McIsaacs.
 Several saws were found nearby. Had NcGoldrick, Well and Thompson succeeded in effecting an exit from the prison it would have led to the escape of practically all prisoners in the jail, by reason of the fact that all cells were open until the plot to es- cape was discovered by the night jailer.
 McGoldrick was returned from Florence to Phoenix last week to tes- tify in the case of Hagen Well, later found guilty of grand larceny in the theft of Dr. k. w. Craig's automobile. McGoldrick had received a prison sen tence some time before on pleading guilty to stealing a Studebaker car and entering Q store in Phoenix.
 Pete Thompson is here to face charge of grand larceny in the al- legged theft of an automobile. He has been arraigned and is now awaiting trial, having been brought here from the Prescott jail, following his arrest on Montgomery's ranch in Skull val ley.
 As a result of the attempted jail break, g member of the sheriffs force called upon County Attorney l.. M. Laney this morning and asked that McGoldrich and Well be taken to prison at once. He also asked that Wal McCann be sent to the peniten- tiary along with the others. McCann had nothing to do with the jail break But the request was in effect that the sheriff wished to get rid of all prisoners who rightfully belong to the penitenitary.

sUPT. CASE TO N. E. A.

PHOENIX, June 26.-C. O. Case, superintendent of public instruction, will depart today or tomorrow for Milwaukee to attend the annual con- vention of the National Educational association, which opens on June 2S and extends for a week. He expects to be back by July IA.
 "The principal subject of discussion is apt to be the Towner bill, provid ing for the creation of a secretary of education as an officer of the presi- dents cabinet, a substantial appro- priation for the elimination of Hitter acy and cooperation in the work of Americanization. Other matters like ly to come before the convention will be the reshaping of courses to meet postwar needs,' said MT. Case.
 A communication from an officer of the N. F. A. to MT. Case states that the Towner law will mean more to education than any law ever before enacted by congress.
 While the funds provided under Smith Hughes law for AmericaniZa- ton are very welcome says Mir. Case, it is hoped to eliminate some of the red tape by the appropriation propOs. ed in the Towner bill.
