Belated Christmas Celebra
tion for Roosevelt District
Draws Four Hundred Peo
: pic to Enjoy Features of
i Delightful Evening
The auditorium of Neighborhood
House was not sufficiently large to
hold the attendance at the belated
Christmas tree celebration held there
la.xt night and in consequence there
were numbers of the four hundred
present out on the front porch. All
of this brought definite notice to the
fact that the Roosevelt district has
grown so rapidly of late as to de
mand an enlargement of the popular
Focial center in that section, an ac
tion which is quite within the bounds
of possibility within the immediate
future.
Two trees added interest to the oc
casion, each being loaded with gifts
which were distributed under the su
pervision of a sure enough Santa
Clans assisted by several of the well
known residents of the district. One
particularly happy feature of the
fathering was that numbers of the
children took advantage of the op
portunity to bring gifts for the poor
exemplifying the "giving Christmas."
Jn addition to this a collection was
taken for the Pima Mission which
netted $ir. Two hundred and sev-pnty-nine
childreft received presents
during the evening' -
During the evening the children
rmdercd a program appropriate to
the season in the most gratifying
fashion, reflecting great credit upon
themselves and the district. The
following numbers' were on the pro
gram: Invocation. Mr farmer

Fourth grades.

defile to see all and drink all that
could be seen and drink within the
limited space of time allowed by the
new statute.
Other Celebrations
The burial of King Alcohol was of
course, the feature of this evening's
story. Rut there were other celebra
tions beside that of the demise of the
conqueror of weak men's wits. Some
of the churches, some of the lodges,
and many private parties watched the
old year merge into the new. On the
whole, the tenor of the people's thought
seemed to be a "New Year", rather
than merely the ending of one regular
ly appointed space of time and the be
ginning of another.
Phoenix firmly believed that it
would be a new year in all that the
phrase conveys. Little consideration
was given to the fact that it was the
dividing line between two divisions of
calendar time, it was a
MOST HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

had private dispatches that the pres
ent disturbance in the islands was
insignificent in accomplishments, but
dangerous on nccount of the agitation
of the lower classes. He said that
peonage was the greatest practical
evil on the islands, and that slavery
still existed. He urged tho commit
tee not to attempt by force to eradi
cate polygamy from among the Mo
rns, but to allow it to die out as a
result of friendly teachings.
Finally Mr. Worcester pleaded with
the committee to save the non
Christian tribes from extermination
by the Filipinos, which, he stated,
would be threatened if self-government
is granted, and urged that the
bill be amended by providing for a
lieutenant-governor for the non
Christian tribes, to be appointed by
the president, who would have power
to annul legislation touching these
t ribes.
A statement regarding the strategi
cal importance of the Philippines
followed the remark by Chairman
Hitchcock that some persons advo
cated American withdrawal from the
islands without regard to the interest
of the Philippines in order to avoid
the posibility of involving the United
States in war.
Mr. Worcester declared it was idls
to deny that Japan could land an
armed force on the islands, and that
that it would be impossible to pre
vent very long the fall of Manila.
The gaining of control of the bay of
Manila, however, he urged, would be
a far different matter, and so strong
ly fortified was the corregidor that
this naval base should be able to
hold out for a year before being
taken.

Secretary of State's Force
and .Many Autos Still
Wear Old Numbers
Although it is January 1st, litis,
and a glorious holiday. Average
Citizen, Esq., who had counted on
whiling away the morning with a
pair of pliers, putting the new black
and white number plates on the
family car will in all probability
come down town with the same old
blue and white tags the machine
has carried around for the last twelve
months. For in spite of strenuous
exertions on the part of the entire
force at Secretary of State Osborn's
office there are still several thousand
of the new symbols on the shelves at
the state house, and many auto-owners
will have to continue to wear
last year's numbers awhile longer.
A rough estimate yesterday placed
the number of tags sent out in heavy
mail sacks at something over 3000,
but it will be two or three days,
possibly a week more before all the
numbers are turned over to Uncle
Sam for delivery to the motorists of
the state. Meanwhile officers of the
law, who are supposed to enforce
the law rigidly, will be lenient, and
pass cars wearing the old numbers
for a few days longer than the sta
tutes stipulate. Only a few cars were
seen wearing the new 1915 tags yes
terday, but all who have them are
required to display them from now
on.

AMUSEMENTS
The Odalisque at Lion.
The temptations of a girl through
her desire for dress, is an everyday
story, and iVi "The Odalisque." whic'i
is the feature attraction at the Lion
theater today, a company composed
of Blanche Sweet, Marian Cooper.
Robert llarren, Henry Walthall and
Wallace Reiil give the presentation
with a trueness to life that is ex
ceptional in photoplays. "The Oda
lisque" is a photoplay that should
be seen by everyone, as it is not only
interesting but will give the observer
something to think about for all time
to come. In addition to "The Oda-
li.sque'" the program at the Lion to
day contains two very good comedies,
one called "The Love Thief," by the
Keystone fun makers, and the other
from the Beauty studios, entitled
"The Tight Wad." making up a.
show of evceptional merit.
The Battle of Sexes
The great Griffith picture on the
single standard for both men and
women will be shown again today at
the Lamara. It is well worth see
ing. A great picture with a great
purpose, most artistically produced.
The Regale
The program at the Regale is head
ed with an Animated Weekly 121. A
Crystal comedy, "Their Parents"
Kid" and a two reel Rex, "As the
Wind Blows," completes an interest
ing bill.
The Empress
Great pictures will be shown at
the Empress theater today as they
have been recently. The change of
management of the institution will
make no difference in the excellent
pictures that will continually be
shown.
The Arizona
Manager Nace announces the great
Paramount feature, "The Typhoon,"
for the feature of the day today and
tomorrow with a special New Year's
matinee this afternoon at the usual
hour. "The Typhoon" is that won
derful "yellow peril" play in which
Walker Whiteside and Nance O'Neill
starred so successfully several years
ago and In which Mr. Whiteside was
seen here.
The Plaza
Manager Caveness will run "The
Poison Pool" today. It failed to ar
rive yesterday but will be on hand
as the feature today. It is a splen
did "box office attraction" and will
be one of the great pictures seen
here this season.

fensive with the greatest force, and
where they claim to have made the
most progress.
Along the Belgian coast fighting
is confined to artillery fire. West
ends and many other little towns
which were long ago deserted by the
citizen population, have been made
the target of shells of the allies.
Walfi3h bay, a British possession
on the coast of German South Africa,
which the Germans took at the com
mencement of the war, has been re
taken by Union South Africa forces,
while the Australians have annexed
Bougainville island, another of the
Solomon Islands, over which flew
the German flag, about tho last
German island in the Pacific.
In London New Year's eve was
celebrated by the usual dinners and
dances at hotels and restaurants,
but with less gaiety and on a much
larger scale. At the larger hotels,
however, there was a large attend
ance of officers on leave or wait
ing to go to' the front, many French
and Belgians who were driven from
their homes by the war, and a con
siderable sprinkling of Americans.

ages. At the head of the list was
the earls of Derby and Chesterfield,
who got the order of the garter for
their services in recruiting, and Bar
on Lovat, who received the order
of the thistle for the same reason.
Note Attracts Attention
BKRL1N, Dec. 31. In the absence of j
any striking battle news, all newspap
ers of Berlin print in prominent places
dispatches dealing with the note of pro
test sent by the United States to Great
Britain. The Lokay Anzeiger's report
if the incident declares that Great
Iritain will be obliged to grant all of
America's principal demands since she
dare not make of the United States an
opponent who could cut off a great part
of England's own importations.
Commentators on the situation in the
eastern fighting zone unite in attach
ing little importance to the report of
Russia's gains in Galicia. They declare
the outcome will be decided further to
the north where the German advance,
they assert, is proceeding according to
plans.

swept down stream. The second stream
looked so much worse that they de
cided to risk recrossing the first stream
and returning home. They were in a
single buggy and had a saddle horse
tied to the back of their buggy". The
entire outfit was washed down stream.
The saddle horse came near being
drowned. De Fries and son got off
with a thorough drenching and finally
managed to tave the two horses. The
buggy, saddle, blankets and an over
coat were carried away. A few days
after the water had gone down, the
lost articles were recovered, some of
them two miles below the scene of the
trouble.
