Court Defers Action on

Injunction as Senate Ia

Payne Bars Foreign Bids

Committee Review Result
of Auction Set for Monday

From The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Charges by
the Hearst newspapers that the Ship
ping Board was about to sell the for
mer German passenger liners to Brit
ish corporation, the International Mer-
camille Marine, Company. were fatty
denied to-day by Judge John Barton
Payne, of the Shipping Board, in
letter to President Wilson and before
the Senate Commerce Committee.
Hearst attorneys carly to-day applied
for an injunction from the Supreme
Court Of the District Of Columbia to
prevent the Shipping Board from SELL
ing the ships. The court did not grant
an injunction, but called uron the Ship
ping Board to show cause by Monday
morning why an injunction should not
be granted. The question involved Is
the legal authority of the Shipping
Board to sell the ships. Judge Payne
contends the board has the right both
under the general legislation creating
it and under the emergency Legislation
passed after the United States got into
the war.
Judge Payne appeared before the
commerce committee at his own re-
quest, after bitter debate had been
started on the floor of the Senate by
the introduction of resolution by
Senator Ashurst, the desired effect Of
which was to prevent the sale.
After hearing Judge Payne. Chair
man Wesley L. Jones characterized as
groundless the charges made, including
statements that insufficient publicity
had been given the sale and that the
selling prices were not expected to be
more than a fraction Of the value of
the ships. Senator Jones had the AS
hurst resolution laid on the table and
told the Senate the committee was
satisfied with the boards program.
The auction of the ships is to go for
ward as planned on Monday morning
subject, as was made clear in the orig
inal announcement Of the auction. to
acceptance or rejection by the board
as it may see fit afterward.
Between the time of the auction and
the acceptance or rejection of the bids
Judge Payne is to appear before the
commerce committee and lay the whole
self to-day as being willing to abide
by any decision the committee should
make.
In his testimony Judge Payne ex
pressed himself as strongly of the opin
ion the government should sell all it;
ships and permit private owners tx
operate them under the American flag
There are stronger economic reasons
for this in the case of the passenger
ships than with freighters, he said, bu
he believed all should be sold to pri
vate operators.

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
 FAVORS INCREASE IN PAY

The state board of education has come out strongly in favor of gener- ous increase in salaries for public school teachers, and through this ac- tion it is expected that the satndard of the teaching force in the state, which for many months past has been of an exceptionally low order, will be raised materially.
 In resolution on the subject which was adopted unanimously, the state board points out that there is a ser- ious shortage of teachers in Arizona, and that this shortage threatens to deprive a large number of children of educational advantages.
 The present salaries are much too low, declares the resolution, to be in keeping with the character of the ser vice rendered or to attract a suffi- cient number of we'll qualified men and women to meet the educational needs of the state.
 In view of these facts the board declares itself emphatically for an increase in the salaries of teachers and urges upon school boards imme- diate and generous consideration of this matter.
 At former meeting of the board it was decided to permit teachers 70 continue to teach on temporary cer- tificates, regardless of their standing in the last examination. This policy has now been changed and March 1 has been set as the date when all teachers must be possessed of the nec- essary certificate showing their quail fication.

A HOpeless Case

A doctor came up to patient in lunatic asylum, slapped him on the back and said: "Well, old man, you're all right. You can run along and write your folks that you'll be back home in two weeks as good as new"
 The patient went off gaily to write his letter. He had it finished and sealed, but as he was about to affix the stamp the latter slipped thorugh his fingers to the floor, alighted on the back of a cockroach that was passing and stuck. The patient hadn't seen the cockroach. What he did see was his escaped postage stamp zigzagging aimlessly across the floor and following a crooked trail up the wall and across the ceiling.
 In depressed silence he tore up the letter that he had just written and dropped the pieces on the floor.
 "Two weeks!" he said. q won't be out of here in three years. ."-London Tit-Bits.

DEPORTATION TRIALS
 STARTS FEBRUARY 2

According to an agreement reached by counsel for the prosecution and the defense the trials of some 300 Blsbee citizens, charged with kidnap- ping, as the result of the Bisbee de- portation of July 12, 1917, will start on February 2 in Tombstone, before Judge $. L. Pattee of Pima county.
 Attorney w. L. Burgess, chief coun- sel for the defense, was in Tomb stone recently, and following confer ence with County Attorney R. N. French, who is prosecuting the crim- lnal cases, it was officially announced that the first case will be set for trial before Judge Pattee in Tomb stone on February End. An affidavit disqualifying Judge A. c. Lockwood, resident Superior Judge will be filed on Wednesday, January 14th, accord ing to the public statement today, and Judge s. L. Pattee of the Super for court at Tucson has been agreed upon to sit in the trials.
 Judge Lockwood will, following the filing of the affidavit officially call him to sit in the trials. Judge Lock- wood has set the arraignment of de- fendants for trial in Superior Court for Monday January 18th, when each defendant will appear in court and an- swer to the complaint filed by the county attorney entering his plea. As there are in the neighborhood of 300 defendants, it is estimated this will take up the entire day, unless they are entered in a blanket form.
 With the announcement of the e. finite date on the cases would bc called t, trial, the question Of when the C. seS would be brought to trial has been definitely setI..;d he dc f,'' .pts were given the:r prcimin- aIy @ rngs early Ia year ,and af- ter being bound over inforlnatious were filed against each one by Coun- ty Attorney R. N. French. Since that time the county attorney. and attor- neys for the defendants have been busy obtaining depositions of witness es from all parts of the United States to be used in the jury trials which will settle once and for all the Bisbee de- portation.
 Tomorrow in the Superior court the drawing of the trial jury lists for the year 1920 will take place and antici- pating that the trial of the deporta- tion cases may take every available juror in the county, Judge Lockwood will cause to be drawn from the box every eligible juror in the county numbering some 7500. With such a panel to draw from, it is not consid- cred probable that supply of jurors will be exhausted, although it is a matter of common knowledge that it will be hard matter to pick jury for the cases, since many have formed opinions.
