to tear up streets that were after wards replaced in proper condition at the expense of the city, the increased cost of feeding stock at the city cor ral and the failure of the manager to cause the Phoenix Railway company to keep the paving adjacent to and between the tracks in good condition are also cited.
 When the document had been read there was d short discussion between the commissioners and the mayor as to the proper procedure. The city at torney said a resolution ought not to have been submitted but rather the simple charges. However. it was de- cided to consider the document in the nature of charges. Manager Parish classed the charges as lies, pure and simple and said he would be prepar- ed within one week to disprove every one of the charges. Commissioner Woods said he believed the charges should be considered and the oppor- tunity given the manager to vindicate himself, "and l think he can," added Woods.
 The commission finally voted that twenty days be given for the prepa- ration of the managers answer.

that would be entailed. The bill was championed at length by MT Powers of Maricopa and Messrs. Cook and Francis of Cochise and MT. Lines of Graham. But it's indefinite postpone ment was recommended by the com mittee and in the open session. a motion to send it to the committee on enrolled and engrossed bills was lost. It was then indefinitely post poned.
 The house. which had been dis posed to defeat House Bill No. 15 providing when no showing had been made against statement of facts or transcript within a stated period it's sufficiency should be deemed. ap- peared to take another view of the matter and the bill was re-referred to the committee on judiciary.
 The only other business of the house was to grant the permission of the floor to President von Klein Smid of the university and Hon. A R. Lynch of Graham county, for mer member of the legislature.

Continued from Page One) deprived the chief of police of his proper authority over the police force thereby destroying its efficiency, that
 the men of the department receive
 their appointments direct from the city manager and the chief is not
 allowed authority to discharge in competent officers and employees and as result is unable to command the respect of his subOrdinates or to maintain discipline among them and the officers and employees hold in contempt the authority of the chief of police.
 The third paragraph deals with the fire department which it charges, despite an expenditure of over $20,0 has had it's efficiency materially les sened because the firemen are ham pered in the discharge of their du | ties and have lost the advantage of volunteer fire companies.
 | Paragraph four states the cost of operating every department of the general government has been increas- ed although in no instance have the duties of the officers been increased
 or more accomplished for the benefit | of the city
 Paragraph five states that depart
 ments for the protection Sof persons and property have increased though
 in the office of building inspector and
 the department of public health there has been less work done.
 l The resolution further charges that the manager has filed incorrect and
 misleading reports upon matters of the installation of public utilities. i particularly with reference to the in stallatiOn of an auxiliary pumping plant combined with a street light ling plant and system, and also re- lating to the managers report upon
 the Monroe street paving matter. | The awarding of bids for fire
 alarm boxes to the highest bidder the placing of these boxes in certain
 districts and leaving other districts unprotected. and the installation of the system in such manner that in lease of fire in certain districts the Ientire system would be immediately destroyed are also mentioned in the resolution.

 ii necessary, with the view to quiet ing possible fears by the British or other allied governments, guarantee that only nOn- -combatants will re- ceive the cargo. A guarantee to this l effect was filed with the United States customs authorities, and the | shippers say they are prepared to ! back the guarantee with bond in any amount.
 w. T. Brooking, representing the shippers, will sail Tuesday on the Holland American liner Potsdam for Rotterdam. Thence he will proceed to Hamburg, arriving in advance Of the Wllhelmina.
 In Hamburg MT. Brooking plans to dispose the cargo, if it escapes seizure by warships, in retail lots to
 private concerns. From the mills
 which buy the grain and from the shopkeepers who buy the rest of. the
 cargo, Mr. Brocking said today he would probably obtain written guar antees that the foodstuffs will be redisposed Of only through retail trading with civilians and that the military and naval forces will not be given or sold any part of it.
 The Wilhelmina, a freighter for merly in the West Indian service, left her dock about 3 o'clock, after get ting clearance papers for Hamburg from the customs authorities in the usual way She carried sufficient coal for voyage of thirty tbree days, but unless detained by hos tie Warships, expects to reach Ham, burg in from sixteen to twenty days Her captair, Will Brewer, of Phila

Britain Not Consulted

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.--It is un-
 GerstOod here that the British gov
 ornment has not been consulted con-
 owned steamer Wilhelmina with a
 cargo of food supplies from New
 York direct to Hamgurg, Germany
 The state department has advised
 the charter parties of their legal
 right to take such cargo to Germany,
 provided the food is not for the use
 of the German government or army.
 Nevertheless, the opinion prevails
 among the officials that the British government will not hesitate to seize this cargo. though the ship itself may
 be held free, thus precisely reversing the facts in the case of the former Hamburg American liner Dacia and her cargo of cotton.
 The British note of January 10 ad mitted that foodstuffs should not be detained and put into prize court without presumption that they were intended for the armed forces of the enemy or the enemy government But. while expressing an intention ,1 adhere to that rule, the British gov ernment added: We cannot give an unlimited and unconditional underIak ing, in view of the departure, by those against whom we are fight ing, from hitherto accepted rules oi civilization and humanity and the uncertainty as to tue extent to which | epch ruleS may he violated hy ther | in future"
 This was accepted as a raserva tion 1 of the right of the British govern ] ment to examine into each shipment | on it's merits which. of course, would involve the detention of the ship al l some British port while the investi. gatiOn was making

DIDN'T WANT THE PROMOTION
Corporal Had Good Reasons for De-
Ginning Elevation Which Most
Soldiers Would Welcome.

Some soldier was Corporal A. Lin
regiment, too, for at the time we speak
of he was in the Ninth cavalry.
Nobody remembers how it happened
now, but there was some mix-up, and
there was no money in the treasury
for the disposal of the army, and for
five solid months soldiers hadn't seen
what a dollar bill looked like. The
army paymasters were just laying
around and waiting for something to
happen.
Lieut.. Col. John H. Gardner, now
retired and recruiting officer for the
San Francisco district, was first lieu
tenant of the Ninth cavalry at that
time. In common with all the officers
of his command he was getting along
financially during the period of non
payment of troops by borrowing
money each month from banks Lieu
tenant Gardner was in command of
troop. In common with all the troop
commanders he had to loan all his
men money regularly so that they
could buy tobacco, and pay for their
laundry and all that sort of a thing,
and one of Gardeners heaviest debtors
in the troop was Corporal A. Lincoln
Brown.
There was a vacancy in sergeancy
in Gardeners troop. The lieutenant
studied over the list of men he had
who were fitted to be sergeants and
finally he chose Brown as the best of
the lot. He had Brown called before
him.
Corporal" he said, I'm going to
give you that vacant sergeancy."
Normally when a corporal in the
army is told something like that at
least a grin of appreciation can be
counted on. Corporal Brown, how
ever, looked frightened first and then
gloomy. "Beggin' de troop comman-
der's pardon, sah," he said, "but you
ainA got nothin' against me, has
your
why, of course not" replied Lieu
tenant Gardner. why do you ask
"a fool question like that when ! Just
told you / was going to have you
promoted? Don't you want to be pro-
moted?"
"Ah should say not, sah." said Cor
poral Jones vehemently. "Ah done
