WASHINGTON, June 24.-Com- plaints that censors tamper with neutral mail passing through Great Britain resulted in the issuance of an order by the post office depart ment directing that all mail from the United States destined to Norway, Sweden and Netherland be dispatched on steamers sailing directly to those countries, and not touching at bel ligerent ports.
 This remedy was suggested by the Swedish minister, who recently filed with the state department evidence that mail from the United States to Sweden was opened and censored in England. As the countries in which the mails originate control the rout-

ing. the order will affect only out going mail. It is expected here. however, that similar steps will soon be taken by at least some of the European neutrals involved.
 In addition to the formal communi- cation from Sweden, the state de- partment received complaints indi- eating that mails both to and from America has been subjected to rigid censorship in England. A German inquiry into the alleged tampering with mails at home and abroad is also being conducted by the post of flee department, charges having been made that mail of the embas- sies and legations of the belligerent countries has been opened on United States mail cars.

COUNTY ATTORNEY
 SAID TO BE SLATED
House Struggles All Day With Prohibition Legis- lation, Defeating It's Own Bill and Leaving Senate Measure Undisposed of

The most important thing that hap rened in the legislature yesterday was unexpected, the final passage of the bill giving to Maricopa county an additional superior court Inn mediately thereafter it was stated on the authority of members that the bill would be promptly signed by Acting Governor osborn. Following this, the news spread rapidly that County At torney Frank II. Lyman would be named as superior judge.
 MT. Lyman was called by telephone. lie said that he had had no conver- sation with any appointing power relative to the appointment. This legislation was a part of the program of Governor Hunt in his call.
 The county court bill was passed by the house several days ago. but it was not then expected that it would be passed by the senate. So doubtful was the result in the senate that the friends of the bill there advised the house to strike off the emergency clause, and that was done.
 When the bill was brought up in the senate yesterday. it was found that some of the members who had been most pronounced against the bill had changed their views. until it was evident that the emergency clause could be safely restored. That was done and the bill was returned to the house, where the change was ratified and the bill was sent to the acting governor.
 4 large delegation from the south side, especially from Mesa and vicin- ity. had been working against the bill, ostensibly on the ground that conditions did not warrant the ex- pense of maintaining another court. in this county. but it was understood that 1t was the belief of the members of this delegation and those repre- sented by them. that another court would make more difficult county di- vision, which it is understood will be legislature.
 The Prohibition Fight
 The time of the house was occu- pied for the most part yesterday with the consideration in the whole com mittee of prohibition legislation. The committee on judiciary had reported the Edwards house bill. modified form of the Powers -Drachman bill or the regular SeSSlOn ana senate piii No 1 of the present session. The battle of last Monday was fought over again, and late in the afternoon. the bill having been recommended for third reading. went to final passage and was defeated by a vote of 15 to IS. as follows:
 Ayes-Acuff Austin. Berry. Clay pool. Cook, Edwards, Farrell, Francis, ee, Lines NcClain Pinkley, Powers, Proctor, Vaughn-13.

STEFANSSON AND HIS
COMPANIONS ALIVE

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 1S.-First def.
mite tidings that the world has had
from Vilhjalmar Stefansson, the Arc.
tic explorer, for year and hall
were received by the naval depart.
ment, which sent him and his com.
panions on their perilous trip to the
frozen north. The advices from the
explorer were meager, but sufficient
to show that he and his companions
are safe.
The report from Stefansson came
from Nome, Alaska, in the form of
message signed by himself and dis
patched from Baillie islands on Aug.
81.
Stefansson succeeded beyond all eX.
pectations in his explorations. He dis.
covered new land southwest of st.
Patrick's land. He is now on Banks
land Quitting for continuance of ex.
plorations to the westward to ascer-
tain the full extent of the new land.
