After-The-War Problems
Affect Telephone Service

The reconstruction problems which confront all
telephone companies and which seriously affect
your telephone service are not confined solely to
the operating features Of the business.
The difficulty we are experiencing IN building
up an enlarged operating force to handle the In
creased traffic load is equally serious among our
male employees, particularly in the plant organi-
cation.
More than $50 Of our most skilled, trained,
technical men volunteered for service in the army
and the majority of them are still In Europe. Very
few have returned, and we cannot expect the bal
ance to return soon. Few men Of this type have
been available and those we are training by no
means equal our demand. This shortage Of expe-
rlenced men hampers our extensions and delays
installations.
Certain features Of our work can be done only
by experienced, technical men and often when we
had equipment on hand we could not secure SUI
hcient labor to install it promptly. This has been
true IN the simple matter of installing and moving
telephone stations.
The delays and inconvenience have proved am
noying to our subscribers and have been reflected
in our service. We are striving IN every way
known to our experience to overcome and pre-
vent them.
Although the stress Of actual warfare is over.
the problems of reconstruction cause the situation
confronting our service to be more serious than
when fighting was In progress. We'deem it our
duty to make this frank statement SO you will UNI
derstand why our service has not returned to its
standard OF pre-war efficiency
We are operating the telephone system as
agents for the federal government under the SUI
pervision Of the Postmaster General, and our loyal
organization is making patriotic effort to perfect
the service. Your continued cooperation and en-
couragement will be appreciated.

CHERRY CIDER HAD STRANGE EFFECT O|V
 SOLDIER HE STATES

Corporal William Taylor in the uni- form in which he served his country for two years took the witness stand in the federal court yesterday and testi- fled against Ben Garland, c. c. Norton and Victor Anderson, the men who are alleged to have given him liquor in Jerome last July wheN he' was still in service.
 "I was sober, sir when I went up to the pool hall," said the young soldier who declared that all he had to drink that evening was that which he had with the defendant and which he de- scribed as a cherry cider termed Bovol
 T took the same" he said when the others gave their orders. He declared that he had become intoxicated, but that the only drink he had that night was the cider
 The defense claims that the soldier was drunk when he joined their party and that he told them he had been drinking elderberTy wine at the bar racks which had been given him by the cook. They tried to sober him up with lemon soda they said, but it had not the desired effect.
 Victor Anderson, one of the defend ants, testified that he had drunk a whole gallon of cider trying to get stewed, but that all he got was sick" " He admitted that he was intoxicated on the night in question, but that he had been drinking Jamaica ginger previous to the cider drinking. Gar land said his drunk was due to bay rum, and Norton professed to have been sober.
 The defendants were arrested in Je- rome by Harry Carlson, deputy United States marshal, against whom Norton has since brought suit for s25,- 900 damage for alleged false imprison- ment, growing out of the present ac- tion. Carlson testified that he stopped an automobile driven by Everett Ritter and containing the three defendants and the soldier after they had driven from Jerome to Cottonwood and back after the 'cider bust at the Jerome pool hall. A beverage was taken tc Cottonwood and indulged in en route | according to the testimony.
 Before entering the service Taylo, was connected win the freight depart ment of an eastern railroad. He en- listed in Illinois and was with Com. pany F, 18th infantry when the Jerome incident occurred.
 | He was chief witness for the govern ment yesterday. The case is beine | prosecuted by J. H. Langston, assistanr United States attorney and the defens, l is being cared for by J. c. Russell O. Prescott of whom it was stated durinf the progress of the case as having haC drink with the defendants and tho soldier, and Leyhe and Burch.

NOT \ CITIZEN TRIED ID EVADE JURY DUTY

we cannot succeed in administer ing justice unless business men recog nize serving on the jury as civic duty, said United States District Judge Jeremiah Neterer yesterday in discussing the matter.
 For the first time court convened after a recess no excusesawere pre- sented yesterday by those seeking to evade jury duty. It is believed that the Seattle judge made clear his views last week and that those who had thought to present business and other forms of excuses did not deem it wise to offer them before a court entirely unsympathetic to their personal view point.
 If business men would but realize they would not ask to be excused" de- clared Judge Neterer Men in every branch of industry should serve, the farmer, the business man, the banker, every type of citizen. In my district men have a new conception of duty, and it is rarely one asks to be ex- cused."
 Judge Neterer hopes to clear the criminal docket here this week and to return to Tucson to assist Judge Saw telle. He yesterday advanced the call endar, moving up all cases a day in order that he might hasten his return to the south.
 Judge Neterer said that he hoped to dispose of two cases a day while here in orcer to clean up the docket.

FOUR FORFEIT BONDS RATHER THAN APPEAR
 IN MUNICIPAL COURT

More than four times the revenue was received in police court yesterday from forfeiture of bonds than from as- sessment of fines. A total of SS5 re- verted to the city when four defend ants failed to appear in court and an- sWer charges against them, while only s2O was collected from defendants found guilty of various misdemeanors.
 Anita Lugo was the heaviest con- tributor to the city funds by forfeiting bond of $50;. Teilsforo Golano for feited s25 bond, and W. P. Walsh and Lee Namstaff each forfeited bonds of s5.
 The fines were collected from L. A. Brown, who paid s5 as an aftermath of little spree, and Elouise Cross who was fined s15 on her plea of guilty to charge of violating an ordinance relating to moral conduct.
 The court may be given an opportu- nlty to go into the jewelry business if W. B. Barry fails to appear for trial today on a charge of selling merchan- disc without a license.

GEORGE [. GOLZE, WHO. DIED ON SUNDAY, WAS. MUSICIAN OF NOTE.

The funeral of George E. Coke, who passed away Sunday morning, will be held at the chapel of Moore & Me- Lellan Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock Win A. Coke, a brother liv- Ing at Clinton. Ill.,. and Miss Mae Solze, sister living in California, will come to attend the services.
 Musicians from the A. F. of M, with whom Mir. Golze had been associated in tne clty Tor the past 20 years, will fur nish appropriate music.
 In the passing of George Coke the musical world loses a most accom- plished cornetist. He figured strongly In most all instrumental music organ izations of the city. The endurance he acquired in his early life while tray cling with some of the greatest band organizations served him at the end or his long and eventful career. as shown by the fact that he was able 70 play an enga cement as late as last wednesday evening, notwithstanding Inc fact that he was suffering consid- erable discontinue from his pull monary organs.
 As musician George Coke ranked with the very best professional cornet- Sts or America He was solo cornet With the Adam Forepaw circus, Ring ling brothers, besides with Walter L. Main, several regimental bands, the Spencer band of Peoria; Arnolds or chestra of Wichita; Bush Bros band en route; Kendall concert band, Mar tin Golden band. Dalton City band and many others during his musical life, which lasted 10 of the 55 years of his life.
 George E. Golze was the director of the Pioneer band of this city for more than eight years giving a concert every week the year around. The splendid re- suits he obtained from the material he had to work with is only small tribute to the artistic tendencies of this we'll known musician. Aualyzing the solo playing of George Coke, it can be truthfully said that his tonal attack and general all-around musicianship, including phrasing and knowledge of all musical literature for band and or chestra, was such that gave him a distinctive position in the larger or ganizations he was associated with be- fore coming to Phoenix. Even though in late years he did very little prac- tice. there was no music that could be placed before him but that would re- ceive a most artistic rendition, to be

 Federal authorities believe they have liquor law in one John Smith, who has been placed under arrest, having been taken into custody in the Black Canyon mountains, where he is alleged to have been caught with the goods.

WATER IN CANALS IF SALT RIVER PROJECT
 |S ID BE A|VALYZED

Thorough analysis of waters in the valley project has been ordered by the board of governors of the Salt River Valley Water Users association. The order was entered at the adjourned meeting of the board yesterday and followed complaint of water users be- ing served by the Salt canal.
 A delegation of users whose lands are served by the Salt canal appeared before the board yesterday and ob- jected to the quality of water which they are obliged to use for irrigation purposes. The objection was based on the theory that water now being pumped into the canal is of inferior quality to that served from the dam.
 After listening to the views of the different land owners, the board or dered that all waters used in the valley be analysed. The order specifics that quality tests be made of reservoir water Verde river water, water at Granite Reef after the two rivers merge, at Joint Head and in the canals where the wells are being operated both before the well water is pumped into the canals and after.
 Numerous tests have heretofore been made, it was announced yesterday with result that all waters were de- clared to be fit for irrigation purposes It is the contention of some of the users, however, that the water in the Salt canal contains too much mineral salts for irrigation purposes.
 The tests tn ha S through the. University of Arizona.

NEW PASTOR DELIVERS FIRST SERMONS HERE

A large num- Der of church members and friends at- tended both services and greatly en- joyed the fine sermons. Rev. Reid comes here from Mesa and is a man of unusual fine qualities and abilities.
 The new pastor of the Christian church filled the pulpit Sunday morn- ing and evening, delivering two un- ulually fine sermons. Rev.

compared more than favorably with any of the greatest cornetists.
 George E. Coke was born at At lanta, H., in 1864, and was married to Luella Buckles 29 years ago. Besides the widow he leaves three children, Harold B. Coke, young business man of the city; Ida Mae Coke, who is sec retary of the Union High school. and Walter Coke, student of the same school.
 Besides being a devoted and thought full husband, George Golze was kind and loving father and gave his chil- dren the best educational advantages the city corld afford. He had not an enemy in the world and there are no other expressions than praise for his high musical attainments and sadness for his passing from the host of friends who knew him.
