: FESTIVAL AT CLUB
A rroup of clover children presented
sn unusually Interesting program at
the Woman's club yesterday when the
annual Christmas festival v?as ob
served. While the program was ar
ranged for the small eons and daugh
ters of club members. It was a3 gen
uinely appreciated by the older mem
bers of society, who v.ere dellghfully
entertained by the talented youngsters
who took part. It was a well ar
ranged entertainment with piano and
violin numbers equally well-rendered,
a number o dances artistically exe
cuted and readings that demonstrated
the- unusual ability of the tiny artist
performers.
The kiddles takinsr nart were drawn
largely from the Arizona School of
Music, representing the piano depart
ment under Fran Darvas; the -iolin
pupils of Robert Saunders, the expres
aion claaa of Mrs. Dwleht Earl Easley
and the dancing pupils of B. Paula
Itevare.
In addition to the children's num
here, Christmas carols were sung by
a trio comDOsed of Mrs. Ben Spalding.
Mm R. A. Doarn and Mrs. C. M.
Oandv.
Mrs. Marietta Johnson of Fairhope,
Ala, who la in Phoenix to attend the
Btate Teachers association explained
the nuroosa and aims of the Fairhope
school for children, 'rnis scnooi is
the result of Mrs. Johnson's disap
proval of the universal method of pro
motion through the system of exam
ination, grading and standardization.
Among other things -Mrs. Johnson
tald "education Is not a training for
life, it Is a living."
"The adult world forms the child's
environment, the environment Is the
child's need," declared the speaker.
Mrs. Johnson was particularly In

Rushes Into Telegraph Office,

Then Lands In Insane Hospital
To have a perfect stranger rush In
the office in the dead of night, hand
her $1000 in currency and then disap
pear without giving name or address,
was the unusual experience of Miss
Florence Jackson, night clerk of the
Western Union Telegraph company,
last Wednesday evening. When to this
is added the fact that the man who

EMPLOYING ALIENS
Calling to the attention of Kirk
Moore, county attorney of Pima coun
ty, that he has been Informed that
eJipns have been given a preference
riarht ovr citizens In the matter of em
ployment on the construction of a dor
mitory at the state university, Wiley
E. Jones, attorney general, has advised
Mr. Moore that this is contrary to the
law. .
He asks the county attorney to make
nn investigation. His letter to Mr.
Moore, in which he quotes the law, fol
lows: Hon. Kirk Moore, County Attorney,
Tucson, Arizona.
Dear Sir:
It has been brought to the attention
of this department by complaint of
one of your worthy citizens of Tucson
that Messrs. Enplish & Piercp, general
contractors now having under construc
tion the men's dormitory at the Arizo
na Btate university, "for which the
state appropriated $145,000," are em
ploying numerous Mexican citizens,
aliens, to the exclusion of citizens of
the United States and this state de
siring to labor on said construction, and
I would respectfully request that you
Investigate the matter at once as Jn
violation of Section 46 of Chapter 174
(General Appropriation Act, Iiws of
1919), which is very strict, very ex
plicit, and was enacted to forbid the
very thing complained of in th& letter
now before me-
Section 46 reads as follows:
In all cases where money appro
priated under the provisions of
this act la or shall be expended for
labor, only citizens of the United
States or wards of the United States
shall he employed, and actual bona
fide resident citizens of this state
hal! be given the preference when
ever such labor as may be required,
tan be found within this f;ta,te, and
before any l.ibor can bo sought out
side of this state, either directly or
indirectly, tho person, contractor,
firm or corporation, fhal! file with
the state auditor a verified written
statement getting out in 1- tail the
effort put forth, showing hi.:, their,
or its inability to yvarr ri:ch la
bor as is required within this state,
and if the author is satisfied of such
-inability, then the auditor may exe
cute a release permitting the bring
ing into this state such citizens only
of the United States as may be
needed for such work. Herore any
money herein appropriated shall lie
paid cut for labor or construe! ion.
a. verified sinter.tor.t s-hall l.e ftlrt

ompli.'ince with thr provisions of
this section. If the provisions or
this section are not complied with,
if. shall be unlawful to pay out any
of the moneys herein appropriated;
and ai;v e'.ntr'irt entered into

gave her the money was losing his
mind, and knew It, and two days later
asked the police to lock him up be
cause of hi3 belief, and then actually
did become crazy and go to the state
asylum, with the thousand dollars go
ing from Miss Jackson to E. M. Allen,
manager of the telegraph company,
and from him to Chief of Police Bris
bois, and from the chief to Dr. Thomas
J. Cummings, superintendent of the
state hospital, with none of them
overly anxious to become guardian to
the little fortune, one has the wool
for a yarn worth spinning, and one
which needs no fiction to help it along.
Reports that a. hand of daring V my
lars watched Miss Jackson's comings
and goings, and finally held up the ;
laxicab in which she is accustomed to
go home when hertilght's Avork is fin- :
iwhed, only to find that tho young lady
had been delayed by an account that
wouldn't balance. ar declares! to be
without a particle oi foundation, al
though they did make the original
story as exciting as a tale of Steven
son's. On Wednesday evening, then, to re
turn to the story. Miss Jackson was
working in the telegraph office, when
a stranger, who appeared to be either
an Italian or Polish laborer, rushed
in and handed her a bundle of $5, $10
and $20 bills, telling her Uat he was
under hypnotic influen - e and that he
feared he might be dead before the
morning. He also told her that if he
did not return for the money to take
$100 for her trouble and to send the
remainder to his brother at Rye
I '.each. New York.
Miss Jackj'un took the address of
j the brother, but before she could find
! out anything definite about the
stranger from himself he had gone,
i iffjviri-r o.lv hi! Tinme. .lohn Mnrs.
I
as the police have it, and his address,
the Madison hotel, which proved false
when the clerk telephoned.
Now, there Is a prohibition in the
telegraph office against putting any
but company money In the safe, so
here was Miss Jackson with $1000 in
good American money, and literally
nothing to do but make herself Into a
walking national bank. So she took
It home with her, and on the next
evening she told the manager, Mr. Al
len, of the occurrence. He advised her
to keep the money in the Bafe that
night, and the next day they put It in
a safety deposit box at one of the
banks.
Then Mr. Allen went to the police
station to report tho affair, and while
he was talking to the sergeant in
charge. In walked Marse, who declared
that he was going crazy and asked
that he be placed in jail for safe keep
ing. The police were accommodating,
Marse was locked in Jail, and then,
true to his prediction, he immediately
proceeded to become so totally de
mented that it was soon necessary to
send him to the asylum. The money
ivss eiven to Chief Ptrisbois. who
didn't know what to do with it after
it was In his hands, and who therefore i
turned It over to Dr. Cummings.
The mystery of the man's identity
Is still unsolved, and. as has been in-
timated throughout this story, he Is
not in a condition to enlighten the au
thorities. Efforts to find his relatives
have been unavailing, and it Is almost
certain, the police say, that the name
he gave Is fictitious. The mystery,
however, of the bold, bad burglars, the
taxlcab and the account that wouldn't
balance, has been more nan satisfac
torily explained.
