Servant Girls

New York, Jan. 8.-New Workers
read in the newspapers a dispatch
from Chicago quoting the statement
Of a Travellers Aid society worker
there that thousands of European
girls were flocking to America eager
for housework, and that "the day OF
the 81 a week servant girl soon would
return" Today the society's New
York headquarters was besieged, by
an army of housewives seeking "one
of the 81 wonders" and long distance
telephone calls poured in from neigh
boring states asking that one OF the
"old fashioned immigrants" be saved
But it's all wrong, according to the
New York headquarters. Thousands
of girls are arriving each month, but
instead of seeking domestic work
they are landing armed with enough
funds to carry them comfortably to
relatives located as far away as the
Pacific coast. Less than / per cent
are seeking household jobs. it was
said.

SUGAR PROF|TEERS
DECLARES RETAILERS WHO
CHARGE 22 CENTS A POUND
SHOULD BE PROS
ECUTED.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Retail deal
ers charging % cents a pound for
sugar were attacked in the senate
today by Senator Smoot, republican
of Utah, who declared "they ought
to be handled" by the attorney gen.
eral. "Sixty-five per cent of the beet
sugar crop has been delivered" Sem
ator Smoot said, land If there is any
boarding the attorney general should
find out who is boarding it and stop
it. There is plenty of law to deal in
drastic fashion with these profiteers.'
Purchase of the remainder of tho
Cuban sugar crop, estimated at O.
250,000 tons, to stabilize and reduce
prices to the American consumer was
urged in cablegram received from
Rafael Montoro, secretary to the
president of Cuba, by Senator Nc
Nary, republican, of Oregon. Pres
ident Wilson has announced his de-
cision not to make the purchase on
the recommendation of the sugar
equalization board.
The cablegram expressed regret
that the United States had failed to
secure the Cuban output.
The cablegram was in response to
an inquiry by Senator McNary, an
thor of the recently enacted sugar
bill.

CAUGHT IN ACT
MITCHELL POLICE OFFICERS
MAKE AN IMPORTANT
CAPTURE.

Mitchell, Jan. 8.-Erpatio Peter
ino, an Italian. and Rosalie Marting,
Mexican were arrested here on the
charge of grand larceny. They are
believed to be a part of a gang of
snak thieves and robbers which have
been operating in South Dakota,

weeks. Both men, at their prelim-
mary hearing In the municipal court,
pleaded guilty to the chareg and will
be sentenced by the circuit Judge

act of stealing quantity Of silk from
a local department store. The goods.
together with other merchandise,

from other Mitchell stores, was re-
covered in a room in the Raymond
hotel.
One merchant here, who operates
one of a string of stores maintaining
branches in many cities In this part
of the country. stated that his COM
pany had lost in the neighborhood Of
$2,00O,000 through the operations Of
bands of organized thieves in the past
few months.

number of extra police were put on
duty in the downtown business dis
trict.
