UTILITIES ASK RIGHT T0 MAKE
 HIGHER CHARGE
Temporary Srr-Charge 1s
 Wanted to Keep Pace in Advancing Cost of Fuel,
 Oil and Also in Labor

Petitioning in the name of the re- gently organized public utilities organ ization of the state, most of the light and power utilities of Arizona yester- day asked permission to make a tem- porary sur charge in their rates to cover the advance in fuel, oil and lab or costs. The petition was filed with the state corporation commission and the hearing was set by the commission for April 26 at 10 o'clock in the morn ing.
 Phoenix and this district is not di- rectly interested in the petition at this time because the Pacific Gas & Elec- tric company does not at this time plan to avail itself of the sur charge right even if such a right be granted. The reason for this course is that the local company is not dependent upon fuel oil as most of the other utility compan- ies are, its power being hydro gener- ated.
 It is reported that the Tucson com pany has figures to show that the ad- vance in fuel oil it will use the coming year will add to it's operating cost the sum of $50000. This is very serious matter to most of the companies in the state and one which is to be met by joint action if possible.
 The state commission will hold the hearing upon the petition open to the public. Whether there will be opposi- tion or not is not indicated as, so far as known, this is the first intimation of the plan to petition for sur charge privilege

fense is being notified of the accept ance of your resignation.
 Very sincerely yours.
 GEO. w. F. HUNT,
 Governor of Arizona. To the foregoing Mr. Jayne yester- day made the following reply which in some respects is categorical:
 Tucson, AriZ., April 16. My dear Governor Hunt:
 l have your letter of the 10th inst, accepting my resignation as member of the Arizona Council of Defense.
 Whether my position in reference to pr. Sweek is well taken. am perfectly willing to submit to the public who may read this correspondence or who have read Dr. Sweeks intolerant let ters tO me. He intimates that he has taken steps to have me put into Jall, and the Citizen suppressed, because IL dares to question the wisdom of com pulsory Vaccina ton. And he Is un- doubtedly somewhat pertubed because ] have refused to be frightened by his high and mighty verbiage.
 As to my viewpoint concerning the medical profession, l hold its mem bers in high regard and it numbers in it's ranks some of my closest friends.
 
 majority of Dr. Sweek's associates will approve of his tactics.
 1 note that you say that Arizona is today afflicted with more epidemics than at any time since statehood. l agree with you: but they are mostly political and fostered by you. And this brings me to the charge which you make, that have encouraged mob violence by attempting to align you with the l. w. W. in this state. l ask you whether l am not justified in as- suming that you are on the most friendly terms with this organization in Arizona when you appoint their leader and attorney to public office; when you hold frequent conferences with their officers and when your let ters to the members of this treach- erous organization show that you are on intimate terms with them.
 If you have really suffered a change of heart and now realize that those outlaw organizations can do nothing but harm to the national program in this crisis then I am glad for Arizona as this state is judged abroad by your position as governor. But you must admit that the I. w. w. has flourished in Arizona under your regime and fail to see that your method of hob nobbing with them and writing tender missives to them discourages their growth.
 And, may l ask you to explain your subscription to the stock of a pacifist publicantiOn.
 l take this opportunity to assure you of my whole hearted support of all constructive measures which you may take toward helping win the war Yours respectfully
 ALLAN G. HAYNES.

 ALASKAN PARTY
 DETA|NEDHERE
Officers Retard Departure of Some MeXicans Bent on
 Canning Alaskan Fish,
 Persuasion Does the Rest

When Agent Silva of the Alaskan Packers association prepared to send 100 or more MeXicans aboard a South ern Pacific train last evening, intend ing to send his party to Alaska to en- gage in work in the fish canneries dur ing the coming season, he found sev- eral obstacles in his way. In the first place, representatives of the Arizona Cotton Growers association went through the men assembled on the platform and picked out several who had been imported here from Mexico to engage in agricultural work Some of these were finally induced to continue here under promise of work.
 Then deputies from the United States marshafs office instituted inquiries as to those of draft age who were or were not registered. This resulted in further depletion of the ranks of those bound Tor the colder cline. Representatives Of several Phoenix employment agen- cles circulated in the crowd and of fered still others employment and sue ceeded in changing the minds of sever al more
 By these means and also by voiun tary Withdrawals on the part of sev- eral who decided that conditions were good enough here. the party was fin ally brought down to between 30 and 6O These left at o'clock. There were details from the police department and the sheriff's office to maintain order out there was little need of their presence.
 Latin League Opposes Believing that MeXicans who go tc Aiaska Tor the short packing season Will suffer for the experiment and | lol. | needed right here in the Salt Rive,
 Valley, the supreme council of the Iiea Protector Latina has, by formal ac-
 ton, put the seal of it's disapprova- upon the enticement of MeXicans from this section.
 The supreme lodge here of the league
 will name committee of 25 of thf most influential members of the leaeuf 10 undertake the work of restrainine the spanish speaking residents from embarklng upon an experimental m. dertaking of which so little is known
 They believe that the Mexicans who gc
 to the Alaskan climate will suffer phy- sically and that they will not be as well off financially as though they re- malned in the valley
 One of the league leaders last even ing well expressed it when he said that 'HoAO ls ihoIe tndn enough necessary work for all in this section and that
 none of the MeXicans should leave l Phoenix at this time to embark upor
 an adventure of which they know SC little.
 Seven slackers, according to a state, ment given out last night by deputy United States Marshal Fred A. Weage were arrested last night at the Arizona Eastern station, as they were about
 to entrain for Asaska as employees ol
 the Alaska Packers association. These men, all Mexicans. who had accepted positions with the packing association were apprehended iust
 prior to their departure, and asked tc
 show registration cards Seven failed 1 to do this and were taken into custody 1 Several. it is understood. are beine l held by the Federal immigration de 1 pertinent.

Service Code
 Case Brought
 Tn Court Here

Interpretation of the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act recently passed by congress will be made by the local court for the first time Friday when the action of Mrs. Lulu Brown versus Emile Gaugler will be heard in Judge Stanford's court.
 Mrs. Brown is attempting to fore close a chattel mortgage on the furnishings of the Franklin hotel, p. H. Hayes, counsel for Gaugler contending that the claim cannot be pressed against the soldier.
 MORTGAGE PRIOR TO BILL
 The S1,6oo mortgage was given prior to the passage of the bill and counsel holds that it is the duty of the court to interpret the act Iib- orally, so as to conserve the best interests of all parties. The court recently made an order for re- ceiver but he was not placed in pos session before the court again or dered that no further action be talk en until he looked into the relief measure. Yesterday morning MT. Hayes appeared in court and made a motion that Judge Stanford Va cate the order appointing receiver and dismiss the complaint or hold 1t in suspension until 90 days after the conclusion of the war.
 After arguments in which MT. Hayes freely quoted the new act and in which he was opposed by Thomas Nealon, the court set Fri day at 1:30 o'clock for hearing on whether or not there has been any dissipation of the property which will enter largely into his ruling on the matter.
 CITES SEVERAL PARAGRAPHS
 While MT. Hayes declared that every paragraph in the bill had bearing on the case the particular point he brought out is under sec ton BOP in the act for the protec ton of those in service. It reads:
 "0) That the provisions of this section shall apply only to obliaa tions originating prior to the date of approval of this act and secured by mortgage, trust deed, or other security in the nature of a mort gage upon real or personal prop erty owned by person in military service at the commencement of the period of the military service and still so owned by him.
 "(2) In any proceeding com menced in any court during the period of military service to enforce such obligation arising out of non payment of any sum hereunder due or out of any other breach of the terms thereof occurring prior to or during the period of such service, the court may, after hearing, in its discretion, on its own motion, and shall, on application to it by such person in military service or some person on his behalf, unless in the opinion of the court the ability of the defendant to comply with the terms of the obligation is not ma

Moved by the antag0nism of the Tucson Citizen to the policy ol the state health officer and by it's personal criticisms of his office. Governor Hunt has accepted the resignation of Allan l.. Jaynes, general manager or the citizen as member of the state coulch of defense. The resignation Was SUD mitted by Mr. Jaynes when Governor Hum was seated by the supreme court The letter of acceptance. of the date of April lj follows;
 EXECUTIVE OFFICE
 State House
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 April 15, 1918. My dear Mr. Jaynes:
 am reluctantly constrained to ac- cept your resignation as member of the Arizona Council of Defense which you transmitted to me on December 22nd of last year
 The Council of Defense stands for successful prosecution of the war ana for that only. In an effort to keep the Council absolutely non- partisan l not only kept its republican organization intact. but have since added republi- cans to fin vacancies but 1 find very little disposition tO meet me on com mon grounds l do not question that you are sincere in the belief in your patriotism and that you consider the Tucson Citizen" is rendering patrlo- tic service. |. of course, think other wise and am responsible for the per sonnel of the Council of Defense.
 Your viewpoint concerning the med ical profession is well known and is shared by thousands of people, but in attempting to~discredit the finding Of the Medical Advisory Board you can do nothing but obstruct the draft in Arizona. Your efforts to obstruct the State Board of Health in it's program of cooperation with the United States Public Health Service and enforcement of state laws 1 consider exceedingly detrimental tO the best interests of the state and the nation. There is an easy way of amending laws and making new ones. but 1 can never subscribe to the theory that the way to correct laws is by abusing the officer acting in ac- Cordance with existing ones. one fact stands out-Arizona is today afflicted with more epidemics than at any time since statehood. Drastic steps are called for. Every move of Doctor Swcek has ben approved by represen- tatives Of the federal government.
 Most important of all, you are en- couraging mob violence and industrial unrest by your deliberate efforts to align leaders of organized labor and myself with the l. W. w. and other unrecognized organizations. 1 realize that these outlaw organizations can do nothing but harm tO the national pro- gram in this crisis. My methods do not encourage their growth and do not add recruits. Yours do.

the list, and the responses have been

This idea is now being developed to

Columbia Hope

In preparation for the heavy sea-
son ahead of the Columbia track
team, Coach Metcalf has held daily
practice during the holidays on the
South Field running track for those
runners who could come out. The
outdoor season, however, actually
commences at Columbia with the re-
opening of the college on Tuesday.
There. will be a rally of all track
candidates Tuesday afternoon, and
from then until the Brown meet on
April 20. intensive practice will be
held outdoors
The Columbia team appears better
balanced this season than it has for
several years. Instead of excelling
IN one section of track athletics and
being wofully weak in another, Coach
Metcalf seems to have good material

sprints. Welnstein, Sibley and Wet
ties, all of last years freshman team,
seem the most promising
in the longer dashes. and the half
mile Charley Shaw, the speedy half
back of last falls football team.
stands out as the best man in the
college, but he will be ably supported
IN these events by Taylor, Ashley and
staub. In the long distances the
cross country team which came in
third in. last falls intercollegiates will
contribute three stars. Huelsenbeck,
Larson and Turner al show up ex
cellently in the mile and two-mile.
Carroll and Shaw Will probably be
the Blue and White representative in
the hurdle and Houlihan and TAYLOR
IN the shot-put
Although Manager Larson has worked
out one of the best track schedules in
recent years for the Columbia team,
there still remains some doubt about
the metropolitan meet, which was
scheduled for April %
The Columbia and New York uni
versity teams both object to this date
because it is on a Monday and comes
in the middle of the examination
period. 1t Will be impossible to hold
it on the Saturday previous. the goth.
