Novels could be written and plays
built around many OF the happenings
which take place in the little office
of the Associated Charities under the
keen eyes of Miss Christina Gilchrist,
vet the plots are so interviewer and
hound uD in the lives and fortunes Of
those who might be hurt in the tell
ing that they very seldom find their
way into print until long after the
chapter has been cIoSed.
There was the case of young wo-
man who applied to Miss Gilchrist for
Immediate aid saying that she was a
stranger in town and i'll and unable
TO work, but that if she were given
the money TO return to her home in
the east she would be given proper
care. 1t was an urgent case, and
action was at once taken to have her
cared for while the wheels of inVesti-
o ltion were set going. 1t developed
that part of the woman's story was
true, but that she had been in Phoenix
longer than she representations
enough in fact to be wanted for forg-
cry of checks. In the end 1t proved
to be a case for the law rather than
charity, though action was referred
and arrangements made for the young
woman's return home.
Many Times the Associated Cnarl-
ties would be the victim of clever
plOtters wlo try all manner of
schemes to make the public pay for
their living. But Miss Gilchrist says
that never in the years she has been
at the head of the organization has
she been disappointed in her conf
dence. once 1t is placed. and the num-
ber of worthy people helped has been
so in excess of the other class that
they are not worth mentioning.

SHOW INTEREST IN
SCOUT ACTIVITIES

Increased interest in the work of
the Boy Scouts OF the Wilson dis
trict, and a more wholehearted sup
port of the troop by parents was as
sured last night at the Americaniza-
tion meeting Of the Wilson P. L. A.
Tom Murray. scout executive Of the
Roosevelt council, explained to those
present the value of the Scout pro-
gram as a means for Americaniza-
ton through training for citizenship
and developing Of high ideals OF pa
triotic service. Through the practice
of citizenship, he said, Scouts are
taught to become real junior citizens
so that when they become of age and
are legally citizens, they may prop
erly exercise their citizenship.
J. S. Skiff, principal of the Wilson
school, is the Scoutmaster Of the
troop, which has 20 members.

TWO RESIDENCES
ARE RANSACKED

Perseverance went unrewarded last
night according to policemen who
found clues OF unrequitted labor at
the homes of DR.. George Goodrich,
81 West Portland street. and B. r.
Griffith, 100 North First street.
Both houses had been entered and
ransacked, but nothing of value was
missing. Money seemed to be the
sole object of the searcher. or search
ers, as silverware. expensive brica-
brac and other articles which might
be converted into cash were un-
touched.
At neither place was any one at
home WREN the surreptitious calls
were made. 1t is believed the ar
rival of members Of the family at
the Goodrich home frightened the
thief in the midst of his search
through bureaus. dressers and SINH
lar places. Entrance was made by
breaking window and unfastening
a lock.
A vase containing $16 was over
looked by the thief at the Griffith
home although almost everything in
its vicinity showed evidence of hav-
ing been ransacked. The money was
in plain view, one bill protruding
above the top OF the vase. Nothing
was taken from this home. Entrance
here had been also made by break
ing a window. The houses were en-
tered before 10 o'clock last night.

SAYS PROJECT WILL
Be UNDER WAY SOON

M. B. Dudley. a prominent mining
engineer of Mohave county, is a
Phoenix visitor on matters Of busi-
ness in connection with his Virgin
river project. Mr. Dudley says that,
barring unforeseen accidents that are
liable to happen to any great enter
prise, actual work will begin on the
Virgin river irrigation project in the
near future.
The project contemplates the con-
struction of dam across the Virgin
river on the eastern side Of the Virgin
mountains, boring the head of the
canal through the mountains a dis
tance of approximately two miles,
thence it will be taken through a
high line canal and will cover ap-
proXimately $4,000 acres of very fine
land in the state of Arizona, in addi-
ton to- a large acreage in the state
of Nevada. This land, through Mr.
Dudley's influence. has been surveyed
by the United States geological sur
vey.
Mr.. Dudley and his friends have ex-
pended from $4,000 to $40, 600 of their
own money in engineering and stream
gauging work. They have established
and are still maintaining gauging
stations on the river. The project is
one of the most important of the
newer irrigation enterprises in the
state and is being financed wholly by
Mr.. Dudley and his personal friends
from his old home in New York.
While in Phoenix Mr.. Dudley is con-
sulting with engineers and will ex-
anime the Gillespie dam. incidentally
he is looking for any real good in
vestment that may present itself.

URGES INDICTMENT
BE DISMISSED

After a hearing of the matter yes
terday, Judge Stanford took under
advisement a motion made by II. c.
Springer, former cashier Of the Cen
tral Bank of Wickenburg, to dismiss
an indictment returned against him
by the county grand jury on Novem-
ber 10. Judge Stanford will give his
decision in a few days. Springer
was charged in the indictment with
receiving deposits in an insolvent
bank while an officer OF the institu-
ton.
He sought through a demurrer. to
quash the indictment against him on
he grounds that he was called as a
witness in the case and that persons
other than those permitted by law
we're present with the grand jury
while his indictment was under con-
sideration. He alleged ]. J. Elliott,
m attorney, was in the grand jury
'oom while he was being. questioned.
lie declared Elliott was a witness In
he case and was not authorized by
aw to be present as he was not
county attorney, deputy county at
torney, nor a member of the grand
| Jury.
Six members of the grand fury in-
Guiding the foreman, yesterday were
called to the witness stand in the
matter and testified that Springer
was not called before the grand jury
as a witness in the indictment
against him but as witness in other
! indictments returned in connection
with the bank. They said Elliott
was present with the grand jury be-
cause he had been sworn in as special
prosecutor and had taken oath as
| such. The placing of Elliott's name
on the Indictment returned against
| Springer as a witness in the case
| was in error, they said.

to put one over" on the organization
being so guiless that his attempt is
treated rather in the light of joke
than taken seriously.
For example, Miss Gilchrist received
telegram from Albuquerque last
week advising her that there was
certain man there who claimed Los
Angeles as his city, and who was PEN
niless Snd in need of help. Miss GIL
crist wired Los AneeIes and was told
that no such man lived there. She
then looked up the records and found
the following to be true: Last winter
an old man appeared in Phoenix was
given some assistance and finally was
able to earn his living as street
vendor. AS soon as sp~ing came he
appeared before Miss Gilchrist, calmly
informed her that he was a native of
Memphis, and that he wanted his fare
home. Though he was not a citizen
of Phoenix he was such an old man
that he excited the sympathy Of some
generous-h hearted Phoenicians who
bought him a ticket and gave him his
expenses back to Memphis.
And it was this old man who was
now tired of Memphis. and working
his way back to the southland. Miss
Gilchrist wired Albuquerque that he
had no claim on either Los Angeles or
Phoenix, but a few days later came a
telegram from Ell Paso, advising her
that the gentleman was now in that
city and claiming Phoenix as his
native city.
And sooner or later that dear old
man is going to show up here, feeble
and unable to earn his living, and he
is going to expect the Associated
Charities to help him." said Miss Gill

laughter.
Last Saturday night the pupils
were guests of the Girls Friendly club
Of the Episcopal church where they
were invited to give a program IN
their own language. Mexico ana
Spain" a dramatic poem, was acted
in Mexican costume, and many solos
and musical numbers were given
which brought out the native talent
Of these night school students.
Everything in Friendly House" is
donated, either by business organiza-
tions of the city or by private SUBJ
scriptions. The Mexicans are poor
and would be unable to furnish ma
terials for baskets or sewing, or to
buy books from which to learn. Yet
they are eager to attend the school,
after they once start, and willing TO
give up their evenings many of them
after working all day long to come
there and learn.
'Friendly House" helps the Mexi-
can within our midst in many ways
beside teaching him the American
language and ways Of making a liv-

The women's organizations OF the
city all take an active interest in

development of future citizens. The
Woman's club will have the students
there Monday in an arranged pro-
gram, and the Council of Jewish
Juniors have arranged a story tell
ing class for one day of each week.

of its members will visit Friendly

"Friendly House" is indeed a
friendly hand reaching out to the
timid Mexicans who would not try
to attend public schools, and who
have been backward about starting
to the night classes until the more
adventurous had gone and reported
that all was well.
