"The Greek Government, when
prosperous Western nations refused
to receive and care for 5000 Ar
menian orphans, requisitioned the
summer hotels for their temporary
housing. The Zappeion Exposition
Hall and the Royal Palace in the
centre of Athens have been turned
over to the Near East Relief to
house the orphans evacuated from
Asia Minor.

To make American women Fairy

To make American women Fairy
Godmothers to twenty thousand Gin
derellas of the Near East is the plan
of Mrs. Percy Pennybacker of Aus
tim. Texas, and her plans are being
carried out in cooperation with the
Near East Relief. Instead Of coaches,
beautiful gowns and crystal slippers,
such as were furnished little Gin
derclla by the Fairy Godmother Of
the children's story, the Cinderellas
of the Near East look to their AM
erican Godmothers for food, the
simplest kind of clothing, shelter
and a chance to live.
After months of terror in war
torn Turkish domains there are
10000 orphans, boys and girls, from
whom the thought has been removed
that each day, as it dawns, may be
their last. They originally lived in
Asia Minor with their parents.
Famine and massacre had removed
their natural protectors and they
were being cared for and educated
in the Orphanages maintained by
the Near East Relief in their own
home lands. The Greek-Turkish War
and the Smyrna disaster made it
dangerous for the orphans to re-
main in Asia Minor and they were
transported to Greece.
Shelter was provided by the Greek
government but food and clothing
for the orphans could not be sup
piled from this source. The only
hope was rich America and Mrs.
Pennybacker's plan was the outcome
Of this need. She is making an APP
peal to the women Of America to
save these 10000, each of whom can
be cared for until the necessary
training to make them self-support-
ing, is given, at a cost Of five dollars
q month.
"Greece is proving herself one of
the greatest little nations of the
world" Mrs. Pennybacker declared,
according to Near East Relief
workers, who have recently returned
to America. Under crushing mil
itary defeat and in face of grinding
poverty, she is doing for humanity
what rich America, England, France
and other great nations refuse to
do.
"In addition to giving shelter to
a million refugees of her own race,
she is sheltering tens Of thousands
Of destitute Armenians, who were
driven from their homes in Asia
Minor. The Greek Government
turned over the former Kaiser's
summer palace at Corfu to thou
sand Armenian orphans. A ware
house, where they sleep in tiers Of
hunks five deep, shelters fourteen
hundred other Armenian orphans.

he visited the offices of Dolley at the
latter'S request and that while there
offered to make statements to him
or to the frand jury then, or when
ever it was desired.
Mr.. Burke said the alleged plot
and its qualifications appeared to be
extensive.
Officers arrested T. A. Jordan and
j. G.. Irving. as they were leaving the
residence of Mae Wallace in the
Hollywood district: Dave Lcrner,
also was arrested in that part of the
city.
Dolley said the Federal officers
found bonded liquor in the automo-
bile of Jordan and Irving and assert =
ed they were making deliveries to
customers. He stated he had evil
dence that Lerner was manufac-
turer of synthetic gin and Scotch
whiskey: and that at the winery
where three other men were arrested
10000 gallons of wine, Al cases Of
limitation gin and a considerable
quantity of Scotch "whisliey" flavor
cd with creosote had been found.
He charged the men had conspired
to supply a large clientele" in Hol-
lywood with liquor.
He stated that in the possession
of Jordan and Irving were found
checks issued by Jack Pickford and
added that one of the men under ar
rest had admitted having sold the

permission to go before the grand

pened to be in the possession OF the
arrested men. After consultation
with Mr.. Burke, the request was de-
MED. Then. it was added, Pickford
asked permission TO make a state
ment to Dolley, in the presence of his
four attorneys, but that request also
was refused
"Clients of the alleged bo0tlcggers
are scurrying wildly for cover" said
Dolley.
