LEVY COURT PAYS
FLU" BURIAL BILL
Satisfies Claim Of Undertaken
William E. 0unby for
His Services.

What threatened to become "cclcbrAt-
ed case in the annals of the city rs they
relate to last yrsrs epidemic Of Spanish
Influenza. has reached a prosaic termina-
tion by the acti of Levy Court in issuing
a check to William L. Gunby of 82O
French street for S43S. He WAS preparing
to start n suit against the city for the
amount, and had retained Attorney
Phi'.p III. Garrett to prosecute his claim,
since he could get no settlement at any
of the doors at which he had knocked.
The circumstances are briefly these
When Magistrate Harry Stradley WAS
appointed deputy coroner last October,
by Mayor Lawson, one Of his first official
acts was to order the burial by Gunby,
who is a highly respected Negro under
taker, of eight bodies of influenza victims,
lying at the Country Club Emergency
Hospital and sy bodies then IN the morgue
in the county end Of the Public Building.
At this time it WAS almost impossible
to secure an undertaker's services for
love or money, 80 great was the demand;
and II was only rs recognition of personal
duty To the community that Gunbv agreed
10 do the work. In addition, the bodies,
ha wing had nOnr Of the usual care, were in
shocking state. But Gunby stuck To
his agreement. and made the intermcutS,
working Till o'clock IN the morning, by
lantern light; and duly put in his bill for
the work at t27 each, and some incidental
expenses. which sum has not been question
ed b anyone who is competent to assess
value OF the service.
But no one wished tn admit the bill as
belonging IN his department The Coun-
cal Of Defense. the Board OF Health. the
coroner's Office, City Council, all turned
a deaf ear. ON one ground or another. to
the appeal. Finally, the attention of
Levy Court was called to the matter At
first they did not sec their way clear to
doing anything; but after second con-
sideration, and on the ground that the
dc tbs occurred outside of city limits
and therefore in their denesne they
reached 4 decision 10 shoulder the re-
sponsibility, greatly to their credit; and
the incident has been closed, rs have the

they are endeavoring to surmount. The industry's own labor troubles, the effect of the steel and coal strikes, the vicissitudes of other metal markets, and the outlook for copper itself all bear upon the situation. The large unsold stock of copper in the United States, estimated in some quarters at half a million tons, represents re- serve accumulation that can be mar keted if necessary. During it's recent session held few weeks ago, the In. ternational Trade Conference echoed the impression felt in this country that the European nations are in need of large quantities of copper.
 It is reasonable to suppose that pro ducers prefer to continue at their present output rather than increase the cost of their copper by turning out a smaller amount of metal each month. Until the market improves little increase in production is to be looked for.
 The Utah Copper company is mill ing 17,000 tons per day, about half its normal output.
 In Michigan where the output is about 75 per cent normal, it is not ex- pected that production will return to normal until the central powers be- come factor in the market. The Michigan copper country fortunately lays in store of coal in the summer sufficient to carry operations through the winter and hence will not be af- fected by the coal strike as seriously as some other districts. Michigan for merly sent great quantities of it's cop per to Germany, which furnished the chief market.
 The order of the railroad admins tration requiring the metal mines to use closed cars in order to leave the open cars available for coal and sugar beets, if carried out will not tend to help production, for a number of the metal mines are not equipped to load into closed cars and it would be diff ficult for the smelters to unload suf- ficient ore to run at normal capacity.

WARNS SHIPPERS AGAINST
 NEEDLESS WASTE CAR SPACE

A warning to the shipping public against continuance of waste of car space was issued today by K. M. Nic- oles, chairman of the San Francisco Terminal Efficiency Committee, who presents figures showing the percen- tage of car capacity now being used for certain commodities.
 "Loss of car space in these days of car scarcity" said Nicoles means loss of business handled, a matter of con- cern to the shippers as we'll as to the carrier. A comparison of the loading for September shows that in wheat shippers are using but 95 per cent of car capacity this year as against 101 last year; in corn and oats, only v per cent as against 94; in sugar, 89 percent as against 106; in canned goods, 96 percent compared

RECLAMATION DISCUSSED
 BY ARz. STATE BOARD

Plans for the systematic reclama- ton of thousands of acres of land To- cated in various portions of Arizona, are under consideration as an impor- tant conference held here today be- tween members of the state land board and representatives of the federal re- clamation service.
 S. E. Weymouth and w. w. Sch fetch are the names of the two gov ernment agents who are here to take mp with the state authorities the matter of cooperation with respect to the opening up and development of arid lands. Especial attention will be paid to the application of the new law known, as Senate Bill S9, intro duced by Senator Elliott, which carries with it an appropriation of S100,000 to be expended for preliminary sur. veys and the gathering of statistics, etc.
 The board will also consider the feasibility of adopting definite poii- cy with reference to the application of the new land, which the supreme court recently passed on as constitu- tional and therefore operative. As a matter of fact no applications for in creased acreage or tenure of lease called for bt the new law have beea passed upon by the state land depart ment. It was stated by Deputy Land Commissioner Clark today that such action would not be taken until judg- ment had been handed down by the superior court. The action of the su- preme court, he explained, was mere ly to refer the case back to Judge Pattee, from whom it was appealed, with instructions to rule in favor If those who contended that the bill was a law. Fifteen days are allowed in which the attorney general has the right to apply for retrial, but this course is thought to be unlikely.
 In the meantime Land Commis- sioner Mouer, says that regardless of the fact that the new rule allows a lease to extend over a period of 20 years, he does not intend to permit leases in excess of five years.
 Mouer's position in the matter was made clear at the time of the passage of the bill in the legislature and later in letter to the governor, which read as follows:
 "My dear governor: In anticipa- tion of House Bill 60, becoming a law in the near future I most respectfully ask that you call a meeting of the state land department and it is my desire that the department at such meeting instruct the state land com missioner to issue no leases for a longer period than five years, unless ordered to do so by the state land de- partment. Very truly yours, (signed) w. A. Mouer, state land commission er."
