PRIORITY SHIPMENT ORDERS ARE ISSUED |. FOR NEW YORK CITY This Action Is ? Zen to
 Give Ships NGz S4eld
 in Port Val t9'

Washingtc a auary 14s-lnterfer- ence with lad transportation by the blizzard 4 Director General Me Adoo tonight to establish limited pri- ority orders on coal and food for New York and vicinity, giving the first instructions of the kind since he recently cancelled all formal priority. For the middle west, where most freight and passenger traffic was still held up today by frigid weather and deep snow, Mir. McAdoO issued no priority orders, but railroad manage ments received instructions to move coal and food ahead of all other ship ments and do their utmost to clear the snow from main travel routes.
 Action on the York situation was taken on advice of A. H. Smith, assist ant director in charge of eastern lines, who reported that 11S ships were held in New York harbor awaiting bunker coal, and that transatlantic freight movements were suffering to that ex- tent. Accordingly MT. McAdoo ordered preference of movement as follows:
 First, coal for domestic use and vital public utilities; second, food third. coal for bunkering the ships in New York harbor which are loaded for American armies abroad and for the allies.
 As soon as normal weather is restored the priority order will be withdrawn. Although MT. Smith recommended the preference for domestic coal even at the risk of shutting down industries for a .Jo AaA ha hope that it will not materially affect industrial activity"
 This appears to be the shortest cut to a restoration of normal conditions, he said "It is hoped, therefore, that everybody will cooperate by submitting as cheerfully as possible to the tenn porary inconveniences the plan may oc- oasion, in order that it may be made in the highest degree effective and that prompt relief may be brought about.
 MULTITUDE OF REQUESTS
 As a result of the almost complete tie-np of traffic in the middle west. a multitude of requests for priority for many commodities poured upon the rail road administration today, but all were refused uflLlt MT. CHlilH llS urgent recommendations for the New York situation Officials explained that with this exception, the transportation situation can best be cleared up by let ting railroads move what they can oi the whole bulk of freight accommodating as result of the storm. When norma conditions are restored, flexible pro gramme of preferences may be estab- lished, it is said.
 FREIGHT MOVING

MANNER OF TREATMENT

1. In the preamble the operators set forth and reiterated the fact that they had never consulted with the United Mine Workers of America, and never would.
 ?. The operators increased the number of names to be referred to Judge William l. Grubb for selection of an umpire to arbitrate differences between miners and operators from three to an indefinite number, and provided that in the event of grievance on the part of any miner. the miner should approach the umpire in person or by attorney. and not by off cers of the miners union.
 3. The operators insisted that they be not denied the right to increase wages before July l. They agreed not to de- crease wages before that date.
 f. The operators in agreeing to the establishment of the eight-hour day ex- pressed conviction that such establish ment would reduce the production of coal and consequently iron and steel, and that for same the fuel administrator would be directly responsible.
 Dr, Garfield holds this language super fluous and offensive. though he does not deny that it expresses literal fact.

GARFIELD INsISTENT

There is no doubt but that he will in- sist that such expressions be withdrawn John H. Bankhead. Jr., representing the operators, after consultation with Dr. Garfield, today wired George B. McCor- mack, president of the Alabama Coal Op- orators association, the exact status, and on receipt of MT. Mccormack s answer will resume the conference. Dr. Garfield ntimated very strongly that in the present emergency he would insist that the union be not incensed. As a matter of fact, it is reported that he suggested that for the duration of the war it would be a pretty compliment should the operators deal with the union as A. union.

While it is known that the operators even for the duration of the war Will not recognize the union, it is regarded as probable that they will not insist on the perpetuation of formal statement to that effect, At the same time. one Alabama operator in Washington today declared that he would be willing for the operators to turn their properties over to the government. let the govern ment operate them and be responsible for results, which he declared would be melancholy.
 The manner in which the operators treated the Garfield proposal and which aroused the ire of the administrator to such extent that he carried the stua- ton to the President, is expressed in the ff.f

Macpherson. the wonderfully artistic acting of Geraldine Farrar, the mag nificent support of her accompanying organization of artists, the grandeur of the spectacle. and the marvellous pho tography. have announced the photo drama as one of the greatest achieve ments of the screen.
 Miss Farrar has been surrounded with a cast of famous stage and screen players for this production. Wallace Reid is seen as Erie Trent, a dashing young English officer; Theodore Rob erts is seen in a marvellous characteri- 'Zation of the traitorous Bishop Cau- chon; Hobart Bosworth scores a tri- umph as the faithful General La Hire and as the weakling king. Charles VII, Raymond Hatton gives the most ld- mirable characterization of his career. Charley Clary is seen as the traitorous La Tremoille and has made a distinct creation. The battle scenes are tie first of their kind ever presented to a photodramatic audience. The action of the terrific hand-to-h hand struggle is thrilling in the extreme and the won derful charge of hundreds of armorcG knights with the Maid" at their head brings forth a burst of applause.
 During the filming of this play. Miss Farrar startled her friends by appear ing at the studio one morning with her hair clipped to a length just above her

LUSITANIA STORY
 TOLD UPON SCREEN

A woman stood on the deck of a great ocean liner which was struggling Tn its last death gasp with a great gap ing wound in the side where a Hun torpedo had torn its way to the vitals of this beautiful, big ship. This wom- an was Rita Jolivet and with her stood Charles Frohman, the great producer. Each knew that the big palace ship was sinking that they were out on the mighty ocean with no help in sight. The woman turned to the man and he said "Why fear death. it is only :. beautiful adventure. And then the ship lurched and these two were separated and the man went to a grave in the Atlantic and the woman was picked up and lived to tell the tale of that awful night on board the Lusitania.
 Rita Jolivet, great international beauty and accomplished actress, told to dramatist the story of that terrible experience and the dramatist put it in- to scenario form and a great picture concern produced it and today it opens at the Hip for a two days stay and IS called Lest We Forget" The wonder full realistic sinking of the great ship is but an incident in the gripping love story that gives reason for the picture No American can forget the helpless women and children sent to the bottom by the Hun shark and Lest We For get" is a caustic arrangement of the Hun and his methods.
 With the feature is seen another edi- tion of the excellent Spanuth Vod Vile movies. One has but to ask those who have seen these clever reproduced Or pheum acts to know their value. The program remains as well for tomorrow.

TWO ARE HELD FUR RATTACK|NG
 JAIL WATCHER
Complicated Cases of Pete
 De Baker, Harry Ward
 and J. B. Ritter Heard and
 Stelzseide is Own Lawyer

Pete de Baker, Harvey Ward. I. B Ritter and Ashley Stelzreide were before Justice Wheeler yesterday on a charge of attempting to break jail in the course of which enterprise Deputy Sheriff O'Neill was stabbed in the back This happened several weeks ago but so many things have since intervened that the case was continued from time to time.
 De Baker and Ward assumed respon- sibiity for the whole affair and they denied that jail break was attempted. They said further that the stabbing of O'Neill was the result of a mistaken identity. Ward said that the evening before he had some words with Deputy Driskill and when O'Neill entered the corridor that evening to lock the pris- oners up he thought he was Driskill and sprang upon him.
 De Baker said that none of the pris- Ward was getting the worst of the en- counter and he seized pair of scissors and stabbed O'Neill. Both Ward and De Baker said that none of teh pris- oners had any part in the affair. O'Neill could not say they had. He was sure only of one thing and that was that he had been attacked by Ward. He did Hol hlIoW WHO Hdu SJdDDeO nm. On this showing Ward and De Baker were held in the sum of 5000 and the others were discharged.
 But 1t was an immaterial matter who was held and who was discharged as all of them are in jail with the chances that it will be a long time before they enjoy freedom. De Baker is a federal prisoner. Ritter is under a heavy bond for murderous assault upon William Woolf. Ward is charged with and has admitted the theft of s73 worth of baby bonds and Stelzreide is charged with having received the bonds and hy- pothecated them with a pawn broker. | Following the jail breaking case that of Stelzreide was taken up and the boy acted as his own lawyer and conducted the case in very sllillful manner, much better than half the younger lawyers and some of the older ones l usually manage cases. His cross ex- animation of the witnesses for the state | gained for him the admiration of the court. He asked no foolish or unneces sary questions, or questions likely to
 bring out answers prejudicial to his case. But he had very little material
 to work with and was held in the sun
 of s1,000.

All Cases Of
 ntluenZd To
 Be Reported

pr. o. H. Brown, state health officer, has received a telegram from Surgeon General Blue which indicates the alarm felt at the in
 fluenza epidemic which is being combatted with might and main by the federal authorities. In this telegram pr. Brown is requested at once to advise General Blue of the number of cases of Spanish in fIuenza in this state. Or. Brown will reply that so far there is but one suspected case to his knowl- edge, a person recently returning from the coast, and he is far from certain that this is a genuine case.
 However, there may be many cases which are not known, for there is no law or even order as yet to make reports to the state health department. pr. Brown is, therefore, asking The Arizona Re- publican to request physicians having genuine or suspected cases of influenza to at once report them. In this way he can give the federal authorities the aid they wish.
 The federal department is alarmed for fear influenza, which is not in itself very serious dis ease, will slacken industry now so essential in the successful prose- cution of war.
