EXEMPTION BOARD ARE NOW AT
 WORK IN TUCSON
Appeal Cases from Cochise County Are Acted Upon.
 One Lowell Man Prejudiced

The District Exemption Board at Tucson has begun its work and will be in session for a number of days. A large number of claims have been ap- pealed to them from the local boards in all of the counties in the Southern District. The Cochise county claims were in best shape and were gone ov- CT by the board on Tuesday but no ac- ton was taken on any of them. In re- citing the meeting of the board the Tucson Star has the following to say regarding the Cochise county claims:
 "Cochise county claims were the nearest prepared for action and some work was done upon that county's ap- peals although some claims were fil- ed"
 Scores of claims had been filed be- fore the district board and were in archives ready for action. Most of the claims were those of ranchers growing beans who wanted a little time to harvest and then they would be ready. A number had appealed from the action of the local board and a charge of direct prejudice was made against the Tombstone board by one claimant who was very bitter.
 From Cochise county, Jacob Clay ton Bates said if he was taken his nine years work in paying off his ranch would be lost. He is at Yuma L. T. Barnett of Courtland said he was raising beans.
 Lester c. Brenizer of Bowie said he had offered the services of his plant. including 320 acres to the secretary of war and he had a big crop coming up. The exemption of J. F. Cheodle of Co chise was claimed by Augustus Rob erts because he had forty acres under cultivation.
 Rita Figuera claimed the exemp- ton of Casimiro Figuera; Lonnie Malt Fraillie of Pirtleville. claimed exemp- tion as farmer.
 At least give me time to get in my crop" wrote Paul Gramplin. of Here ford. He had forty-eight acres under cultivation.
 ''Wilby A. Ingles of Pearce thought he was physically unfit because ac- oording to affidavits of his father and others he was subject to fainting fits. Besides he had been known to faint when hit on the elbow or chin. Also he had forty acres of beans.
 Fred Lambert Jr., of Lowell had ap- piled to the local board at Tombstone for exemption because of dependant wife and expected child. He thought the local board was prejudiced against him for according to Lambert it had exempted other with less claim to ex- emption. He was one of two married men whose claims were rejected out of the first lot of 1900. He accused the local board of trying to inveigle his father-in-law into signing an affi- davit that he would take care of the dependent wife and the coming child SO the board could charge Lambert with perjury. They also alleged that the wife had an estate whereas accord ing to Lambert the estate was not set tied and when 1t was, he had no as- surance that his wife would get enough to live. His fatherin-law had a number of children under fifteen years old and was not physically strong or able to take care of any more. Lambert said he had worked for the Copper Queen until August last and was in good standing with that company.
