HAVE TO WAIT TO UNLOAD
Shipping Congestion at London Docks
Said to Be of an Extraordinary
Character.

A writer to the London Times de-
scribes the Victoria ard Albert docks
Mt Tilbury as being crowded TO their
fullest capacity with big ships" many
of which look absolutely dead for the
simple reason that they can not be I'M
loaded because there is nowhere to
put their cargoes.p OF ships carrying
Australian meat it IS said to be "a
common thing to wait anything up to q
month for a berth and to lie another
month tied up against the wharf, I'm.
loading and reloading." Ineficiency Of
labor is in a large degree responsible,
for the average discharging output per
Shift of Is men in a niEe-hour day has
been reduced from 100 to 63 tons. The
cause is partly the loss of many good
men In the war, partly lOaiiug on the
Job to make work for us many men rs
possible. Congestion of the ports il
attributed to state control over essen
tial imports, to state control over rail-
roads, and to reduction Of the hours Of
labor. BY these means the carrying
power Of ships has been reduced at
least so per cent below pre-w0r stand
ards.

There are several superstitlons
about the tingling OF ones ears. 1t
was at once commonly believed that
II 1t was the right ear 1t meant that
a friend was speaking well Of one.
The tingling Of the left implied the
opposite. Sir Thomas Browne, the

WASHINGTON, April 21-Sugges- tion has been made to the allied gov ernment by the state department that there be granted an extension to Ger many of the agreement which expired April 10 and which permitted the pres ence of limited German forces in the neutral zone.
 Tentative decision of the San Reno conference yesterday to compel strict however, is interpreted by officials hero indicating that the allies have not deemed it advisable to grant the ex- tension.
 The agreement in question was con- cluded August 9, in response to a pro- test of Germany against provisions of the Versailles treaty prohibiting the retention of an armed garrison in the neutral zone opposite the occupied Rhine bridgeheads. Tn permitting the retention in the zone of % battalons on infantry and q small contingent of cavalry and artillery in answer to the German request, the allies expressly stipulated the forces should be with drawn three months after the treaty should take effect. or on April 10, the treaty having gone into effect Jan uary 10.

Also reports received here recently by officials have indicated that with drawal of the armed German force from that area probably would set off incipient red revolts in a fringe of German towns fronting Coblenz.

-ERepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., April 1.-Two men were shot and killed, his child was trampled upon and his wife twice was knocked down on the day of the deportations Nestor Sjofeld, Bisbee miner testified late today at the trial of Harry F. Wootton, charged with Kidnapping in connection with the Bis bee deportations of July 12, 1917- Sjo- field said he was among the men de- ported to Columbus, N. NJ, on that day.
 One of the men killed was shot by number of men standing outside his house, according to the witness. Be- fore falling, this man returned the fire and slew one of his assailants, Sjoteld said, adding that he did not know the name of either of the men who fell.
 The attack on his wife and child was made by some men who entered his home to Tine him up with the de- portees. Sjofeld testified
 My wife was bleeding at the mouth and nose when they took me away" the witness said
 At the time of the deportations, John Mccullough, student at the University of Arizona, considered Cap tain Harry c.

 While discussing abstract economic questions, Mccullough was repeatedly cautioned by Judge Samuel l.. Paftee to confine himself to the questions asked by counsel for either side. In answer to a question regarding what reasons would prompt him to go on strike, the witness replied:
 "If a few men, with good reasons, went on strike. I would go with them; if the reasons were bad. nd not many men went on strike well, l think I would go on strike any way"

SEEK ID DISCHARGE RAIL BONDS ISSUED
 IN EARLY ARIz. DAYS
CRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

PRESCOTT. Ariz., April 21.-An- cient financial history of Arizona ter ritory will be delved into at a meet ing of four boards of supervisors in Phoenix Saturday to discuss fiualstcps for the discharge of the railroad bonds of Maricopa, Pima and Yayapai coun- ties. it became known shere today. Fol lowing the conference, local officials said. it is the intention to institute a friendly suit in Maricopa county to mandamus State Auditor Jesse Boyce in order to have him apportion funds accruing from the sale of public lands to the amount of nearly S1, ,0Uo,0 to the four counties.
 This land was set aside by the terms of the enabling act of 1912 and to- tailed a million acres. It was desig- mated to establish a fund with which the three counties ftamed above might pay off on the bonds they issued in 1886 to induce promoters to construct the old Prescott X Arizona Central railroad and the projected but unbuilt Arizona narrow gauge railroad.
 At one time the territory validated these bonds.- but not until after the. united States supreme court had held them invalid. Bondholders and others in 1896 secured an act of congress validating this indebtedness, and when the enabling act was in process of be- ing drafted, Arizona secured a clause in it setting aside a million acres. to be sold to establish a sinking fund
 Coconino county is interested as fourth county by reason of the fact that it was split. off from Yavapai county and assumed one-third of the obligation of Yayapai county at that time. Officials here said apportion-. ment of the funds now in the hands of the state would lift a great burden from the four counties and release hundreds of thousands of dollars here tofore collected by special tax levied for general county purposes.
