between the union carmen and the
officials of the South New Orleans
Light and Traction Company street
car service on both lines was re-
sumed Thursday forenoon. The
men returned to work under
the same conditions involved in
their previous contract. The COM
panies. however, are still pushing
their application for increased car
fare and if they succeed in gaining
the desired permission to charge
eight cents the matter of wages will
be reopened with the employees and
increased pay doubtless will be forth
coming to the men. For the present
the service is not near normal, but
will be restored as quickly as posi-
BILE. Some of the former employees,
it is understood have taken better
positions elewhere and will not re-
turn to the cars. although it is said,
they have been informed by their
company officials that their old posi-
tons are awaiting them.

ALGIERS CHILDREN
MADE HAPPY
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS GIVE
OUT TOYS.

AT the Folly Theatre Friday af-
ternoon. hundreds of little children
were made happy through gifts pre-
scented by Santa Maria Council
Knights of Columbus.
Long before the hour of distribu-
ton, the theatre was crowded with
little ones, and many grown people
were also there to witness the little
hearts gladdened by receiving a
little gift from Santa Claus.
Mr.. Geo. Forrest. who was chair
man OF the committee. was one of
the hardest workers for the success
OF the enterprise. He was ably as
sisted by Mr.. Peter E. Muntz.
The stage was beautifully deco
rated for the occasion, and a big
Nmas tree was the center of attrac-
ton. The little ones were lined I'D
and as they passed Sanity they were
handed gift and also some candy.
1t was quite an inspiring sight and
brought great JOY not only to the
children who received the gifts. but
to those whose money furnished the
toys to make the little ones happy.
The theatre was kindly donated
for the purpose by Mr.. Phil. Foto.
who considered it a privilege to make
this contribution.

RUNAWAY HORSES INJURE MRS.
DESABANE.

On Wednesday evening. Dec. %,
at about 8 O'Clock, a serious acct
dent occurred on the Algiers gang
way OF the Canal St Ferry.
Two horses. attached to a carriage
became frightened and ran down the
gangway. The front wheels were
severed from the carriage and the
horses dragged the driver down the
runway. The rear wheels of the
carriage struck the temporary rail-
ing and tare it away for about
thirty feet. The miraculous part
of it was that of all the great num-
bers of passengers who were on the
gangway at the time only one was
hurt, Mrs. Frank Desabaye of Sc
gum st. This was most probably
due to presence of mind of Officer
Gomez, who, upon seeing the run
away, ran down the gangway warn
ing the passengers of the approach
ing danger. Great praise is due him
for his thoughtfulness as had he
not warned the people, there would
have been more injured, as at this
time of evening, each trip of the boat
carries several hundred passengers.
Mrs. Desbaye was taken home in
an automobile, and is reported to
be painfully but not seriously in
jured. The carriage is the prop
erty of VIM. Betz, of Maple and
Adams streets. New Orleans. and was
driven by Albert Gilbert, colored.

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, TUG SON, Feb. 22-Lady AZgapetain, who working with her husband. General Azkabedian, in behalf of the Armenian -ellef fund spoke in assembly Mon lay morning. She had been travelling tli night and in order to meet her ap- continent here, it was necessary for ner to come directly from the train to he university in her Armenian nurse inform. which is h4 the costume in which she usually speaks. She wore -wo medals on her uniform.
 Professor Tartarian of the chemistry department of the university. who IS himself an Armenian. gives an inter- esting interpretation of the meaning of Lady Azkabedian's name. The pre- fix Azk means nation; bed means chiefs, and ian is the usual suffix to Armenian names.
 Lady Azgapetain said in part:
 w hat l want to tell you is lit tie bit about the people of the Near East as a people. I also wanS to bring you bit of warning. The Turks know their empire stands in precarious condition and naturally are trying to get their factions together, to get them cnthused with the idea of a world war. The greatest obstacle is due to the fact that right in the center among Persia Russia and Turkey, lies Ar menia, and Armenia has steadily re- IuSeQ to De SuD1eCleu.

 Lincoln was great because he was Good-s He was great mentally and he was well endowed. His life of good was imitable; it could be followed. This was his chief greatness. If Lin coin was not imitable, if he could not be followed it would not be valuable to us and to future genera tions. He had the intellectual, moral and spirit ual qualities.

THINKS HARD|NG |S
 SURE IF NOMINATION

Frank R. Stewart of Ohio prediiec- tions, has no doubt of the nomination of Senator Harding of Ohio for the presidency, by the republican national convention. He is claiming for Sem ator Harding. based on private infor- nation received from the east and tele- graphic dispatches, a majority of the middle west, including, of course. Ohio. two thirds of Indiana, and. besides the central west, the states of Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
 The other parts of the country, the west, the south and the extreme east. MT. Stewart says, he believes is fair fighting ground for Harding.
 Another thing he counts upon is that the national convention will perceive the necessity of the. republican party carrying Ohio in the general election the last two presidential elections hav- ing demonstrated that Ohio is not as reliable a republican state as it used n ha
