Berlin. March 20 One OF the big.
gest problems confronting the Reich
stag, which reconvened here today, is
that OF increasing the birth rate in

imitation Of disease, making marriage
easier.

Man Charged With BOoiIegging Granted
an Appeal to Court Of
Appeals
DAVE HILL MAKES FIGHT
FOR FORFEITED BOND
Asks That Forfeiture Be Sci Aside and
That BOndsmen Be Released From
$1,000 Obligation

Two heated legal battles have beer
waged in the county court today grow
ing out of the whiskey charge against
John Tucker and the forfeiture of his
bond in that court.
In the first case County Attorney
Simpson made a hard fight to prevent
Tucker from getting an appeal of his
case to the Oklahoma court of appeals
but the appeal was granted by Judge
Davenport and the appeal bond set at
81, 600, to all Of which the county at
torney entered his objections.
"When Tucker became fugitive
from justice, he declared in open
court, "and left Oklahoma to hold the
sack, he forfeited all rights and any
Of the privileges which he had once
enjoyed. He also abandoned the right
of appeal from the findings of the
court in this case and all there was
for him to do was to begin to serve
his sentence
County Attorney Simpson immedi
ately filed a motion before both the
county court and the district court
asking that the other two bonds total
ling $500, be increased and strength
ened
The second battle was an attempt on
the part Of Dave Hill. who was on
fuckers bond at the time he left the
state while awaiting hearing on his
motion for a new trial. Hill asked
that the forfeiture of the $1,000 bond,
which was ordered by the county
court. be set aside and that the court
release the sureties After this for
feiture was ordered by Judge Daven-
port on March 7, County Attorney
Simpson entered suit in the district
court for the collection Of the for
feited $1,000 which he claims was due
he county.
At the hearing this morning Simp-
son contended that when Dave Hill
signed the bond he voluntarily assum-
ed the responsibility of producing
Tucker in court or to forfeit the
amount involved. He failed to have
Tucker in court at the appointed time
and therefore, according to the con-
tention of the county attorney, had
forfeited the bold and was held liable
for its payment TO the county. The
high courts, he contended have held
that if the lower courts do not hold
bondsmen under that law they are
thwarting the ends of justice.
Judge Davenport took this matter
under advisement.
The mule teams and harness which
A. B. Thorn was driving when arrest
ed on the journey which got Tucker
into his present trouble, was sold re-
Gently by the county commissioners
and brought s255.
Tucker was unable to give the 81,
600 bond required today and was sent
back to Jail. His bonds now aggre
gate $4,000 and he has not been able
to furnish security in the smallest
sum, $500.

TELL OF ESCAPE
 FROM SHIP SUNK
 BY GERMAN SUB.
Three Americans Aboard British Tanker, Torpedoed
 Off Irish Coast.

New York, March 10.-The British tank steamer Pima of 6,2S8 tons, with cargo of oil from Gulf ports by way of Newport News, was sunk by a German submarine February H., about 20 miles off the Irish coast, members of the crew reported on their arrival here today on the White Star liner Odriatic. Three of the crew were Americans, of whom Archie Gibbs and Tom Wilson, both of Newport News, were among the arrivals today.
 Y According to Gibbs the ship was tor pedoed at night and without warning. He said many of the crew were in their hunks and the first they knew of the attack was the explosion that threw them from their hunks to the floor. They had to fight their way to the deck through flood of oil. All managed to get away safely in the boats.
 The Pima was owned by the Pe- troleum Steamship company of Lon don, and was built in 1901.

ment of the eight-hour day proposi- ton.
 "1t was decided to renew efforts to obtain a settlement, and a meeting has been arranged with the national conference committee of the railways to be held in New York on Thursday, March 15.
 "The 400 chairmen of the four transportation organization attend ing the meeting reported the condi- tions existing on their various sys- tems are even worse than on Sept ?, 1916, when the Adamson eight-hOlr law w2s enacted. They complain bit terly because the men they represent are working for the same rates of pay, longer hours and wrose condi- tions than prior to the enactment of such law, and called attenton to the fact that nearly all other classes had been given substantial increases dur ing the past year, which, in a meas ure, offset the increased cost of liv- ing. They authorized the chief exc cutives to press the matter to early conclusion. and, while the situation is grave, the chief executives feel hopeful of effecting peaceful settle ment when they meet the managers committee.
 ''The men feel, and their officers support them, in the opinion that the railway companies should have ap- piled the law as intended by con- gross and the president of the United States, and thus given the men the benefit from January 1, instead of resorting to the courts"
