PREPARING FIRST
 QUOTA FOR CAMPS

PHOENIX. March 15-The four teen local boards of Arizona today will be notified of the number of men each county must furnish in accord ance with General call No. S2, re ceived al state headquarters Tuesday from Washington. The state quo la is 14s men and is apportioned among the counties as follows:
 Apache. ?: Cochise. 27: Coconino. 5: Gila. 20: Graham. 3; Greenlee. 13: Maricopa. g; Mohave, 5; Ma vajo, 1: Pima. 13: Pinal. II: Santa Cruz, {; Yavapai. Is; Yuma, 5.
 The date of enirainment Of the Arizona men who all will go to Camp Funston, will be from Fri day. March 29. to Tuesday. April 2. The quota of 14s will include only white men The number of men furnished by Arizona on this latest call will will be 33 per cent of the gross quota.
 This call is based on an estimat- ed population of Arizona of 402. GOO" {" declared Adjutant General Charles w. Harris yesterday, and will prob ably enforce a further hardship on Pinal. Greenlee and other counties in the state with large alien popu- lation. These counties already have been hard hit in furnishing the nee. essary men in the previous quota.
 Relief is promised the state in the senate joint resolution which is now before the house." declared Col onel Harris. This, however. will not be in time to help any before the present draft is enforced. This resolution porvides that in the fu- ture the quotas shah be based on the actual number of class l men there are in the state instead of on the estimated population. This resolution obviates the embarrass- ment that arises from the alien sit uation for the same reason"
 No credits previously earned by counties are to be deducted in this call just issued. according to in- structions from Washington. These men will probably be used to i'll va cancies in various regiments in place of selected men who have been sent to France. an oficial stated yester. day In the 1ssth infantry at Camp Kesrney. t was stated, more shan 700 men have been sent to France.

ARiZZONA CALLED
 UPON FOR MATERIAL

TUCSON. March 14-lt has not been anticipated that Arizona would be called upon to play any part o,h- CT than the furnishing of mechanics in the gigantic ship building program of the United States program. but the Arizona State Bureau of Mines has been asked to make an investi- gation Of the deposits of light vol. canic rock in the state that may be used as a concrete aggregate for use in concrete hips.
 There are many types of such rocks. such as vesicular basalt.. vol canic tufa. volcanic ash. etc.. the es- sential being lightness combined with strength. as this rock is to be used in the manufacture of con crete ships which can readily be seen that large tonnage will be necessary and that 1t should neces- sarily be close to a railroad or with in easy trucking distance.
 Concrete has much to commend it as a ship building material as it can be quickly and readily obtained in large quantities. little skilled la. bor Is required. construction can be carried on with less cost. will not break and is rot proof and rat proof. The idea of concrete ships is neith- CT new nor fantastic. Early in 1917 a group of San Francisco capi- tslis;s formed a company in San Francisco to undertake the con- struction of sea-going vessels of concrete and are building as ocean going ships. cargo vessels of five thousand tons. Following this com panies were formed in various parts of the world to build concrete vessels. In 1899 concrete scows and barges were being built in Italy and in 1911 they were used on the Panama canal.
 The apparent shortage of skilled labor necessary to carry out the stupendous shipping program out lined by the government will prob ably mean the development of the concrete ship and 1t Is evident from the request that has been received by the Arizona State Bureau of Mines that the work is being con- ducted along this line. It is prob able that the need of light volcanic rock f caused by the desire to re- duce the wessht of the concrete used.
 Samples of rock of this type should be sent st once to the Arizons State Bureau of Mines with some descrfp- tion of deposit and proximity to rsdl- road with information e to whether . spur truck could be buik.

HiLLMAN SHOOTS
 STACKER AT AJo

AJO. March 13-Charles Tapnan, alleged stacker and wanted at Grand Junction. Colo. lies in the hospital here with flesh wounds in the leg caused by shooting at the hands of Deputy Sheriff C. P. Hilluran, when the former endeavored to resist ar rest.
 The shooting and arrest occurred just south of Ajo, near Sonoyta. Sat urday.
 Hillman had been notified of Tap pans presence in the vicinity of Sonoyta. and sought to arrest him. He encountered Tappan on this side of the line, but the latter taking ad- vantage of the fact that he was mounted and the officer was not and thinking he was on the Mexican side of the boundary, resisted arrest, Hill man succeeded in knocking him off the horse, when Tappan started to make tracks for PotroIado. Hill man threw down his gun and or dered Tappan to halt; when the lat ter failed to do so. Hillman shot low to scare him. This failing, Hill- man then put a bullet through the calf of Tappan's leg. A second time he shot the fugitive, and then warn ed him that that he would shoot higher the next time. before Tsppan gave up.
 Tappan, it is alleged, had made seditious remarks, saying among other things, that 40o Americans lost their lives while sailing for France and he wished all who sail ed would meet the same fate, which they deserved"
 Hillman will receive . govern ment reward for the arrest.
