MEN BADLY NEEDED
 FOR WORK IN FRANCE

SAN FRANCISCO, March l2.- The demand for men workers for service in France continues and the Red Cross is doing its bit to fill the want. A lesser number of women also are desired. Men and women who are so situated that they are able to give their services to theif country in its hour of need will be given first consideration, but in the event of persons being especially fitted for the work maximum salar- ies will be considered where the ap- plicant is not financially able to pay his or her own expenses.
 The majority of the positions are highly important and call for keen executive ability, initiative, imagina- ton and experience in the handling of men. These positions include as sistants to zone commanders, field chiefs of military relief, their assist ants, office managers, executives for transportation department, insurance department and various other lines of work. Some of the positions re quire a knowledge of French while in other cases it is not necessary.
 Atholl Mclean, with offices at 942 Market street, San Francisco. is in terviewing those who are offering themselves every day except Sun day, between the hours of 10 and l2:30 o'clock.
 Candidates must be between the ages of 90 and 50 years and are re- quired to pass a physical examina- ton. German or Austrian parentage is bar, even though naturalized Even a German name will make ac, ceptance unlikely. An enlistment contract binding the candidate to serve for one year must be signed.

WEIGHT LIMIT OF
 PARCEL POST IS RAISED
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

In fact, excepting the coal range, almost an entire house full of furniture may pass.
 The new regulation, it is antici- pated, will cause the express con-. panies to feel keenly the competition.
 The new regulation is for parcel post deliveries within the first three zones, effective March l3. Beyond the third zone the limit of weight is fifty pounds.

LAKE WATSON IS TO BE
 DOUBLED IN STORAGE
(From Thursdays Daily)

Water storage of Lake Watson is to be doubled in capacity, and initial work toward that end now being under way, in raising the spillway another five feet or on the level with the dam proper.
 This unit of the main structure is situated on the west end, and at pres ent is carrying away an immense volume of water, which is lost. In less than a week of storms in this shed, this storage has been fully ab- sorbed, and last night it was stated over 2,500 miner inches were run ming over the crest, and coursing down Granite creek unused. The crest of the present dam is to be ex- tended another 20 feet, making total height of no feet. This will be the maximum height of the structure, as further elevation of water would submerge the track of the s. F. P. & P. for over half a mile The addi- tional service combined with present facilities, will afford storage of ap- proxi,nateE l6OO0 acre feet, suffi- cient it is believed for present land requirements. It is also practically assured that the Willow creek dam will later be built, when additional acreage is to be developed.
 The Prescott Farms Company, which succeeds the Hassayampa AL falfa Farms Company, and other SUD- sidiary holdings, on a deal closed re- gently for S640,000, it is reported, will have as manager Paul E. Lodge, of Bishop, Calif., who is now in charge. The company has at its head H. E.

SMALL LIKELIHOOD
 FOSTER MINE BILL.
 WILL BE PRESENTED
(From Thursdays Daily.l

The following excerpts from let ters of various congressman with re- gard to the Foster bill will be of interest to all of Yavapai county. and in particular to the mining men. II will be remembered that the Cham. Der of Commerce took first actio:i with regard to this bill and was ad- viscd from Washington, that it would not be detrimental to the mining in- dustry. Acting upon these telegrams, no further work was done. Later Jerome asked the support of all or ganizations in opposing this bill. The Yavapai County Chamber of Com merce, through its mining committee, Messrs. C. NJ. Colvocoresses, L. A. Kehr, C. V. Hopkins, D. B. Gemmill and George Johnson, sent copies of a resolution condemning this bill and asking the support of the representa- tives in congress from the mining and industrial states.
 Some of the replies were as fol- lows:
 From Camp Clark: "I wish hereby to acknowledge your letter enclosing copy of resolution recently adopted by your organization relative to the Foster bill. I am glad to give this bill my earnest study and your reso- lution will be presented to congress today"
 From Congressman Carl Hayden: So far as I can learn, the agitation in favor of such legislation has prac- tically ceased, and the so-called Eos ter bill, which was prepared by the Bureau of Mines, has never been in troduced in either the house or the senate. It seems to me that there is no excuse for government control or

HAWORFH BEAT SWEEK'S TIME
 AT JEROME
STATE HEALTH OFFICER ONLY INTENDED ROUND ING UP WOMEN, AND
 MAKING THEM SANI- TARY FOR THE FUTURE.

EROME, March l2-That County Attorney F. L. Haworth de- feated the objects of the war depart ment when he closed the Jerome redlight district and scattered the in mates thereof to the four winds, is a charge made by Dr. w. O. Sweek, State health officer, in letter to the Verde Copper News.
 The intention of the State Board of Health was to round up the women, keep them under quarantine and hold them there until such time as it was deemed safe for them to resume the practice of their profession"
 Dr. Sweek also controverts the charge of Attorney Haworth that he was planning to go over the heads of the county authorities in the Jer- ome redlight matter, His letter fol- lows:
 Editor Verde Copper News:
 "I read with interest your report of the extermination of the redlight district at Jerome. There are some things that I wish to set you right about, and one is that the State au- thorities had no intention of stepping in over the heads of the county all. thorities. The manner in which the redlight district was closed defeated the object of its closure, and l am afraid will not accomplish the desires of the war department, and certainly not the desires of the State Board of Health. The closure of this dis trict should have been left entirely in the hands of Dr. John w. Finn and Dr. A. C. Carlson, your county and city health officers. It was our desire that these women be rounded up and carefully examined for disease and put under quarantine and held there until such time as it was deemed safe for them to resume the practice of their profession.
 'I tried to get Mir. Haworth owe long-distance telephone, but was un- able to do so. requested some one III HIS OIilCc lO Dy lCiC- phone not to close the district until after March l, so that it could be done under the health regulations, and these women could have been put under observation. As the situa- ton now stands, they are scattered to the Lord knows where, and we have no control over them whatever. I am firmly of the opinion that any situation where vice must be con- sidered can best be handled by CO., operating with the county and city physicians. It would have been to- Judge Haworth's credit, and he would have been highly commended for supporting the State regulations. adopted at the request of the war department.

HE CLOSED LINE AT
 REQUEST OF GOVERNMENT
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(From Thursdays Dailyl Prescott, Arizona, March l3, 1918. Editor Journal-Miner,
 Prescott, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 I have noticed in your paper Of March 18th front page article set ting forth a letter from Dr. w. O. Sweek, State physician, relative to the closing of the redlight district In Jerome.
 The letter Of Dr. Sweek, which you publish. to the general effect that it was the intention of the State Board of Health to round up and inspect the women of the redlight district and then let them pursue their voca- tions, gives false impression to the public as to the real facts. Knowing that this is not your desire, I ask you to publish the following state ment:
 In closing the redlight district at Jerome I acted under the State laws upon receipt of the following tele- gram from the military authorities: Washington, D. C., l:52 P. M., February 26, 1918.
 "F. L. Haworth,
 District Attorney, Prescott, Ariz. War Department will appreciate every effort made by you to close Jerome Redlight District promptly and effectively Such district cannot be tolerated in vicinity of military establishments. By direction of Sec retary of War.
 RAYMOND B. FOSDICK,
 Chairman"
 Dr. Sweek makes the statement that closing the line" at Jerome without affording him the oppor- tunity to inspect the women was in furious to the general cause In re- ply to this assertion I refer the pub lie to the above wire from the war department, which makes no mention of Dr. Sweek or the State Board of Health. also have for my guild ance the precedent of the war de- partment itself in closing the Tine" at Prescott, where medical officer of the United States army arrived in Prescott one afternoon and gave the

JOHN ]. B|RDNO LAND RECEIVER
 PASSES ON
WELL KNOWN FEDERAL OFFICE HOLDER, PU B. USHER AND DEMOCRAT IC POLITICIAN DIES OF CANCER OF THROAT.

PHOENIX, March l3.-John J. Birdno, receiver of the United States Land Office, died Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock at his home, 1915 West Adams street. The cause of death was cancer of the throat of which he had suffered for the past years. Last summer he went to Chicago for treatment and so far advanced was the ailment then 1t was not thought he would survive. But he was given relief to such an extent that his friends believed he would recover. A second journey to Chi cago was made in September. Not long after his return it became quite evident that the ravages of the can cer could not be arrested and that death was a matter of months only. For the past six weeks he had been for the greater time confined to his bed. .ff'
 The body will be taken to the old
 ome at Stafford for burial.
 Mir. Birdno was about SO years Of age, a native of Utah. and he had been a resident of Arizona for 34 years. When a boy he learned the printing trade but later he engaged in teaching school in Graham county. He followed that occupation until 1895 when he established the Graham Guardian at Stafford which became one of the leading Democratic week. ly newspapers of the territory.
 His newspaper connection brought him into intimate relation with Demo- cratic politics, first in his own county and afterward, in the State. His first public office was that of county assessor of Graham county, before Greenlee county was formed and when the mines of Clifton. Nor enci and Metcalf were in Graham. He instituted the first successful campaign for increasing the assess ments of the mining companies whose valuations for taxable pur- poses had been ridiculously low. He was ably backed in this campaign by Governor Joseph H. Kibbey and aA a result there was beginning Of the proper assessmcnp of mining and other corporations in the territory. The governor in his report to the secretary of the interior at that time declared that Mir. Birdno was the only assessor in the territory who dared to do his duty.
 On the admission of the territory to Statehood, Mir. Birdno became chairman of the Democratic State committee.
 Mir. Birdno leaves besides his widow, three daughters. Mrs. Jos eph C. Haldiman of Tucson, Mrs. E. H. Larsen of this city and Miss LOT raine Birdno.
 Some weeks ago, when it became evident that the death of Mir Birdno was inevitable and imminent, the matter of choosing a successor to the receivership of the land office was quietly taken up and it is said to have been disposed of by the selection of an old friend, w. T. Webb, also oi Graham county. f
 At the time of the appointment of MT. Birdno to the receivership. Col Thomas F. Weeden was appointed registrar. Colonel Weeden died not quite two years ago.

women S hours to get out of town and made no mention of medical in- spection either by Dr. Sweek, the officer himself or the local authori- ties.
 We have the further fact to con- sider that the redlight district at Jer- ome has been under painstaking and careful medical inspection for many years. The local health officer, Dr. Carlson, l am informed, has an ex- haustive record of these inspections. Ii is hardly to be believed that sim gle inspection by pr. Sweek could add anything to the data already se- cured.
 I feel it is my duty as a citizen, as well as an officer, to see that the wishes of the war department, as stated in the above telegram, are carried out In the present time of stress and warfare 1 consider 1t the duty of all citizens and especially of civil officers such as myself, without hesitation and in the fullest measure. to comply with every request or command of the war department of the general government, which is act ing for the protection of the very life of the nation at the present time. I shall continue to implicitly follow the direction of the war department in relation to all of my official duties, without first consulting Dr. Sweek or any other civil official. I consider it my duty to follow the commands of the government in time of war with out question and l propose to vigor- ously prosecute any instance of pros titution coming to my attention in Jerome or elsewhere in this county.
 Paragraph l3 of the regulations Of the State Board of Health itself makes this imperative and if pr. Sweek in tends to infer in his letter that he proposed to re-establish licensed prostitution in Jerome, the said regu- lations of the State Board of Health, which I am informed were originally drafted by Dr. Sweek, would pro- hibit his doing so. Paragraph l3 re- ferred to is as follows:
 Paragraph B. It is hereby de- clared that all houses of prostitution arc sources of vencreal infection and such houses are hereby ordered closed forthwith. Any keeper Of a hotel, rooming house, boarding house, amusement hall, park, apartment or any other place, who shall knowingly harbor one or more prostitutes shall be guilty of violation of these rules and punishable according to the pro- visions of Paragraph g, of the Pub lie Health Act, Revised Statutes Of Arizona, 1913, Paragraph 4403."
 As county attorney and ex-officio member of the County Board of Health, l propose to enforce the above regulation of the State Board of Health, as well as its other regu- lations and Dr. Sweek can always be assured of my cooperation in every way. I think these regulations. which became effective March lst Of this year, are but another evidence, if another one is needed, that l was acting strictly in the line of my duty in closing the line' at Jerome oh February Eth and 18th.
 l shall thank you for giving as much publicity to this communica- ton as possible.
 Yours very truly,

MANY TRAINING FOR
 NOVEMBER STATE RACE
Especial to The Journal Miner)

(Special to he Journal-Mlner)
 PHOENIX, March l2.-The gu- bernatorial race, still on its first quarter, is eliminating some of the runners. Lamar Cobb has taken his former place in the State land de- partmcnt under Commissioner Moeur, which certainly looks like he is out of the running. even ahead oi the court decision on his suit against the State Commission of Institutions.
 Rumors are also waited about that Osborne is dropping white feathers and is trying to get someone to in- sist he remain in the office of the secretary of State for the sake of Democratic harmony. Moeur's run ming from the same county has frightened Sidney. It looks like there would be no election for tax commissioner on account of the fail ure to have State election in 1912, and Senator Claridge of Graham. president of the last State senate, will have to be content with assist ant secretary of State, which shelves McGillan who has really done the work for the last seven years, which, by the way, brings out the machine slogan for this year, Seven come eleven"
 The Republicans are also beginning to figure on their State ticket, being more confident than usual, due to their success in electing Campbell last year and because they have heard the rumblings of the voters op- posing the Supreme courts decision. If Campbell will run he will have no opposition in his own party, but he is reported as not being overly anxious unless nearly sure of success, as his tenure of office while the courts were deciding the contest was far from pleasant.
 There is much demand for John L. Gust for attorney general, it be- ing believed that he can be elected in view of the good race he made when nearly unknown last year. Gust can carry Maricopa against any op- ponent if he will run, which shows what they think of him where he is attorney for the water users as- sociation.
 H. F. Matthews made a splendid impression running for superinten- dent & public instruction the last time and should easily be elected if running against an incumbent who has been serving for seven years.
 Jack Barber of Gila county, we'll known young cattleman, is being talked about for secretary of State.
 F. NJ. Layton ex-treasurer of Graham is suggested for State treasurer. He was accountant in the Commission of State Institutions under Governor Campbell. l
 A. H. Gardner of Tombstone, and F. H. Watkins from Kingman, are both mentioned for State auditor. The former is one of the recently appointed road commissioners in Cochise county for the million dollar bond expenditure, and the latter is we'll known in banking circles of the north.
 Norman Mckenzie, the quaintly | humorous real hard rock miner, may run again for State mine inspector.
 There are not so many men mem toned for places on the Republican ticket as on the Democratic, but 1t is believed the Republicans will have plenty of material to choose from with the opportunities of election so much brighter this year.
