Snow and Cold In
tensify Suffering of
Russians in Turkey

Copstantinople, Jan. ~. - Gy
MaiD Bitter cold weather and
heavy falls of snow are intensifying
the sufferings of the legions of Rus
sian refugees who have sought
shelter and food within the Turkish
capital and it's environs. Their mis-
cry is great. They haunt the dark
streets and alleys at night. begging
aims and bread. There are nearly
10000 who are utterly destitute. The
American Red Cross left here short
time ago. The refugees are now
turning their attention to the en-
bassies.
Entertainments, balls and gala
performances are being given by
charitable persons in an effort TO
:" 20 money for the unfortunate Rus
sian outcasts, but the response Is
very feeble. The truth is, life in
Constantinople is so dear that only
the well-to-do can afford to give any
substantial help to others.
The plight OF the Russian women
and children and old men is pa
thetic to the last degree. There is
shortage OF wood and other fuel
and many are dying daily of expos
ure.

The wearing of silk underclothes as

whereby typhus is contracted. has
been recomme nded by DR.. Henry
Beeuwkes. chief of the Medical Di-
vision of the American Relief Ad-

Typhus is the chief contagious
disease now prevalent in Russia, and
anyone travelling in railway trains
or living in Russian houses or ho-
tells is apt to be bitten by lice. such
is the general uncleanliness of both
trains and dwellings and the people
themselves. due to overcrowding,

Lice are also fought through

Another of the important cases on the criminal list was cleared from the calen- dar in the superior court Wednesday when Henry S. Adams of Dayville pleaded guilty to charge of indecent assault on female child--Alice May Adams, his daughter, who is about to become a mother. Adams was sentenced by Judge John W.

 Breed Theatre
 "The Wall Flower" the new Gold wyn picture, by Rupert Hughes. which was presented last night at the Breed theatre, is a comedy in Mir Hughes best manner. The pathos of the plain girl who always sits out" dances, and whose sorrows almost turn into trag- edy, is excellently portrayed by Miss Colleen Moore. She is a comedienne of rare ability. and her art ranges from broad farce to tragic heights. For one so young, she has made an outstanding success with her imper- sonation of the wall flower.
 A surprise is in store for those who attend the Breed theatre when they discover one of the principal parts ir 1 by a college boy, novice, as an actor and who is none other than Rusf Hughes, son of the author. Th' ! young man was spending his holiday at his fathers Los Angeles home dur 1 ing the making of the photoplay, ans begged for a part in the picture. Tn 1 result of the experiment in using real college boy for one of the majo parts has been hugely successful.
