START V|CE CLEANUP
 IN CITY UNDER NEW RED LIGHT ABATEMENT ACT

\ cleaning up campaign for tho city of Phoenix was inaugurated yesterday when the initial action was brought under the recently adopted Red Light Abatement act. by J. E.. Nelson, assist ant city attorney.
 The court is asked to issue an in Junction restraining Kate Sabra from using or permitting her property to be used for purposes of prostitution. The property in question is in China alley | dwellings facing the alley. Second street and Jackson street all being declared nuisances which should be abated. The plaintiffs are named as the People of the State of Arizona at the relation of George Brisbois, chief of police.
 : This is only one of a number of com pIalnts to be filed. according to MT. Nelson, who stated that strenuous campaign against vice had been out ] l lined by the city. Other than the fact that the nuisances were located in the same section of Phoenix as that com ] plalned of in the proceeding instituted | yesterday MT. Nelson would say noth- ing.
 That the injunction matter will come mp before Judge Lyman within short tune IS probable since the statute pro- vldes that proceedings of this character | nave precedence over all other matters i except applications for injunctions and criminal matters, said Nelson The de- fendant has 20 days in which to an i sWer and Nelson believes that before another month the premises and build , Ings which he alleges constitute q pub- i lie nuisance will be wiped out.
 The woman defendant is well known to the police, having appeared in the local court to answer to the charge which has been brought against her un- der the new law.
 some months ago the police arrest ! ed Kate Sabra under the city ordinance I TOT renting premises for purposes of i prostitution" said Nelson. She was ! convicted in the city court and took an appeal which is now pending. This I IS q more ready method than under ! the city ordinance which makes it nec- i essary to prove a knowledge for which 1 the premises are rented while under l this act the fact that the place was Sd used is sufficient"
 Three other complaints are to be filed shortly he added declaring that much of the crime committed recently takes in the section of the city coming under the complaints
 The police and justice courts have ! recorded scores of criminal cases which give China Alley as the scene of tho crimes. Nelson is confident that if he ! IS successful in the clean up campaign against prostitution that other crimes will be measurably lessened.
 The suit filed yesterday is the first brought under the act passed by vote at the general election in November

Although the drive was formal ] ly launched last Monday. it's leaders said yesterday was practically the first days work on it. as the first two days were greatly hampered and overshad owed by the good roads conference. which was attended by many Of the drive workers
 With the conference over. however and nothing to attract attention from 1 the drive. the campaign gathered all ] enormously increased impetus yester- day. Each of the divisions of workers. one to each ward in the city. began full operations yesterday morning, and fht, membership of the Chamber of Com merce began to show a very percep- tible swelling.

LETTER WAITS K
 ?. l. OFFICE HERE: FUR WOMAN SLAIN
Missive Thought To Be Val uable Clue In Search For
 Husband Of Mrs. Watkins Murdered At Fl Centre

There is a letter in the general de livery in the Phoenix postoffice that will never be called for It is in a ed:
 Mrs Oliver Roberts,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Gen. Del
 Personal"
 The writing is in faded blue ink aHi the letter was mailed from Los Angelo January Is at 10:5o ?. m On the en velope, stamped there by the genera delivery clerk is the date Feb. e 1 which means that it will be held untIl then, before being sent to the dcad letter office in Washington. l It may be held until then; il may ltc held longer; it may be advertised andit may be given publicity in q thousand directions-it will never reach Mrs ! Oliver Roberts-for Mrs. Roberts is dead the supposed murdered victim of her alleged husband. Harry Ellis, alias 1 Oliver Roberts.
 This letter presumably q valuahl clue that the California authorities arr running down in their wide search for ] Roberts. is probably one that was writ ! ten to Mrs. Roberts by her sister. Mr~ ! William Burgess of Los Angeles. ItS contents are unknown and it remains in the "Ro'' box at the general delivery WindoH for the woman that will never call for it.
 Body is Burned
 The body of q woman identified as | Mrs. Harry Watkins, foully murdered 1 in the New river bottom, near Fl Centro, then burned almost beyond rec ognition, was found January ]. At thu same time the man who is supposed To be her husband. known variously as Watkins. Ellis and Roberts disappeared from Fl Centro. The fact that Mrs Burgess. the victims sister. had ad dressed q letter to her at Phoenix, and in the name of Mrs Roberts, is given bv the Los Angeles police as reason to be- i lieve that Mrs. Burgess had been in formed of the change of name and probable change of address of the couple To this extent, the letter is mute evidence of the last known inten tion of the dead woman.
 Further information disclosed by the i Los Angeles police and communicated last night to the Republican, indicates i that Mrs Roberts three-year old daughter was either killed at the time her mother was slain or has been taken by the fleeing father for reasons l that only he can give. That a young woman whose name and identity are shrouded in deep mystery. accompan- ' ies the man with many aliases. is still another startling piece of information ! that comes from the coast.
 In This Vicinity?
 When last seen. Roberts was said to l be driving a livery horse and headed | in the direction of Yuma. Before reaching that city. all trace of him is said to have been lost. Between Yuma. 1 Tucson and Phoenix, close watcl. is being kept on all roads, as well as l along the Mexican border It is the opinion of the sheriffs office here that there is no possibility of escape for the hunted man, if it is true that he has decided to make his dash for liberty in an easterly direction
