SMALL PART IF WAR
 RISK EXPENSE HERE

In an Associated Press dispatch in The Republican yesterday morning it was stated that under the war risk bureau, dental work and minor eye. ear and throat cases involve an an- nual governmental expenditure of S0,00O. 900.
 The expense of treating service men here is in no way a proportion ate part of that expenditure.
 There have been treated by the bu reau altogether 35.00O men. There have been treated locally HOO men, or one thirIy-fifth of the total num- Der. The entire cost of local treat ment for the year. including X-ray examinations more than 100 major operations and many minor ones, has been $12.900. The real value of this service would be about s65.000.
 Though one thirty-fifth of the cases have been treated here, the cost is less than one five -thousandth of the total amount expended by the government in the year.

Declaring that unless adequate pro- tection is given in the new tariff bill to long staple cotton, the whole state of Arizona will suffer untold reVerses, the Pennsylvania Society of Arizona has appealed to Senator Philander c. Knox and Senator Boies Penrosc, both of Pennsylvania, asking that they use thelr large influence in the senate for the securing of a tariff that will enable the cotton growers of sthis state to successfully compete With the cheap labor of foreign cotton growing counties.
 In the letters to Senators Knox and Penrose they are reminded that dur ing the crisis of the world war, when the United States was searching the world for suitable material for the manufacture of airplane cloth and gas masks, the Salt River valley came to the rescue with it's wonderful long staple cotton and that it is this same cotton they now are asking be given adeuuate protection that the industry may not be ruined.
 Following is the letter sent to Sen ator Knox, similar one having beer mailed to Senator Penrose:

 The plight of the Arizona farmer merchant and the public in general is appalling so far as the prospect: of marketing the last years and thl' years cotton crop is concerned, ant unless immediate steps be taken tC relieve the present stagnated market ing conditions. it is inevitable tha the whole state of Arizona will suffe untold reverses.

 The above figures have been care fully checked by the county agricul- tural agent, Maricopa county. and are believed to be representative of aver age costs of growing Tn acre of long staple cotton in the Salt River val ley of Arizona.
 The above figures are for the most part about as low as are safe to figure on.
 We now have the cost per acre at about $50. to which must be added the cost of picking. The following figures give the cost of production per pound for varying yields. but all are on the basis of 21s cents per pound for picking charges and allow | ing 1900 pounds of seed cotton for i every 500 pounds of lint cotton. 1 Yield per acre of 250 pounds will cost l about 40 cents per pound. l 250 lbs. per acre will cost 40 cents 275 lbs. per acre will cost 3S cents i 800 lbs. per acre will cost 35& cents 335 lbs. per acre will cost 33 cents We know of your capabilities with ! relation to matters of importance concerning state and nation and we feel that the tack would be light one in exercising your influence among your colleagues to make them see the necessity of the elimination of foreign as against the consumption of home products and to this end we most urgently appeal to you to bring all the pressure to bear in the placing of a tariff on cotton.

country with what we need than have to suffer untold losses because of putting reliance in supplies from abroad?
 The government has spent great sums of money and the farmers have helped with their part in carrying on experiments to secure a type of cot ton the quality of which would lead the world. Is the effort of 20 years and the result of great expenditure to be thrown away?
 An adequate tariff on this crop will quickly result in same being market ed so that the millions now tied up in loans, advances and mortgages will be relea sed for use in other lines. No tariff will mean that these mil lions of dollars now tied up will re main frozen capital uRtil Egypt is pleased to dictate price that forever will put American competition out of existence, and cause losses which will cripple farmers and bankers over a great area of the country. The effect of a smash in one large area today will reach into great sections of the country now deemed safe and far | from disaster and trouble. Summary of the situation in the Southwest so far as it relates to the long staple cotton industry: There are 10000 bales of Pima of | the 1920 crop on hand in Phoenix and | vicinity or in Eastern warehouses and the government estimate is 8. 900 bales for the 1921 crop. Tota cotton available, approximately 100, 1 900 bales of 500 pounds each. l Amount of cotton available 1T pounds, 50,G00,0 900
 There is loaned against this cottor not less than 25 cents per pound, ol a total sof SIP 300, 900.
 The price of cotton today, July 8 1921. is about 2S cents. (There are nc sales being made.)
 The average cost to produce thi: cotton, 1921, is 3S cents per pound. If permanent tariff is not provided
 no cotton will be sold until. after No
 vember, when the emergency tariff
 expires, and then the price will b' fixed by cotton grown in Egypt unde
 cheap labor conditions. at half or les
 than half the cost of American grow cotton.
 The Southwest can supply in a fev
 years all the cotton now importe'
 from Egypt. The number of bale
 produced in the Southwest ha
 grown from 240 in 1912 up to s4,00
 bales in 1920.
 The importations of Egyptian cot
 ton have averaged 16S,000 bales fo
 the past five years, as shown by tn

d. JAYNE HILL TO
GET TOXIC POST?
Is Tentative Selection - At
tack Jap Feeling.

WASHINGTON. May 11.-David Jayne
Hill has tentatively been selected as am
bassador to Japan, according to au-
thoritative information today. Strong
opposition Is arising to President Har-
ding's selection OF Jacob Schurman as
minister to China.
Definite and tentative selections raads
by Harding for American representa- ives
in the Far East are opposed on the
ground that the men slated by the Pres
ident for those posts entertain pro
japanese sympathies.
Richard Washburn Child. prominent
writer, who had been picked by Presi-
dent Harding for the Toxic post. now has
been dropped from consideration, accord
ing to information reaching Senate lead
ers and diplomats here. Child Is said to
have been dropped because OF being pro-
japanese. He is regarded as friendly to
the japanese, having visited that country
few years ago. when lie compared
Japan very favorably to China in writ
ings on the Far East.
A fight has developed against Schur-
man on the same grounds because of his
alleged pro-Japanese sympathies.

FRANCE PLEASED;
GRATEFUL TO AMERICA

PARIS, May 1.-THE French govern
ment is extremely satisfied with Ger
many's acceptance of the ultlmatum, thus
avoiding military occupation OF the
Ruhr," said an official statement issued
at the foreign office today.
cat the same time Germany assures
France of the right to occupy the Ruhr
in the future il the Germans balk. The
government feels that Germany's action
in a large part resulted from the con-
uction that the rest OF the world was
convinced of her ability to pay.
France is particularly grati1ed at
the position taken by the United States
toward the reparations question. This
was undoubtedly a big influence in de-
cdiing Germany to accept the ulti-
matum."
France has continued her military
preparations for the occupation of the
Ruhr up to the last minute and was in
all readiness for a forward movement If
Germany had rejected the ultimatum.

private home telephone wire was tapped

receipt for a cablegram.
Shortly after she had returned, from
Paris last year, she was notified over
the telephone by the cable office that
there was a cablegram for her. She
promptly sent her secretary to call for
the message. When the secretary asked
for the cablegram be was informed that
man already had called for 1t and
signed Mrs. Stillman's name to the re-
ceipt.
In the course Of subsequent investga-

wire had been tapped, some interested
party evidently had listened in and
beat the secretary to the cable office.

AMBUSHED IN
CHICAGO FEUD
Politician Shot Six Times in
New Chapter to Ward
Warfare.

CHICAGO, May 11-Anthony D'Andrea.
labor leader and politician of the Nine
teenth ward, was shot and probably IA
tally wounded early today. He was shot
six times as he stepped from an auto
mobile in front Of his home. Physicians
said it was doubtful IL he would live
more than a few hours.
D'Anrea has been leading figure In a
political feud that has swept the Nine
teenth ward for months, and to which
several previous shootings, bombing and
other acts Of violence have been at
tributed. He was the political opponent
of John Powers, the oldest member in
point of service in the Chicago city
council.
During the recent campaign in which
Powers defeated D'Andrea for seat in
the council, the home of Alderman Pow
ers was wrecked by a bomb, but no one
was injured. few weeks later Paul
Labriola, one Of Powers henchmen, was
shot and killed from ambush by assassins
who have never been apprehended.
The shooting OF D'Andrea apparently
was carefully planned His assailants
had concealed themselves in vacant
APARTMENT on the first floor of the build
ing where D'Andrea lives. AS D'Andrea
assembled the first steps of the building
firing began. Police found six bullet
holes in the curtains Of the windows OF
the vacant apartment His ASSISTANTS
fed through a rear door.
Although wounded, D'Andrea returned
his assailant's fire, emptying his revolt
yer at the window from whence the mr.
ing came
D'Andreas wife and children heard
the shots and rushed to his aid. They
found him lying on the sidewalk.
The police do not consider any theory
of the shooting except that it was an
other chapter in the Nineteenth wards

ROADS CHECKED
FROM BUILDING
BY LABOR COST
Southern Pacific Chairman At
tributes StagnatiOn to In
fiated Pay Rolls.
BILLION EXPENSE HIKE

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Increased
labor costs were blamed today for the
stagnation in railroad building by
julius Krutschnitt, chairman of the
board of directors Of the Southern
Pacific; in continuing testimony before
the Senate interstate commerce commit
tee, which is conducting an exhaustive
investigation Of the transportation
muddle.
'In 1920, S62 ,264,0O0 went as a return
to those who paid for the properties,
while sixty times as much, or So. 742 CO.,,
900 went to those who are employed Cd
the railroads." said Krutschnitt. This
answers the question, why don't we
build more railroads.
"New mileage constructed in 1920 was
less than the average in the five years
from 1910 to 1S45. New construction in
1920 was only one-eighth Of l per cent
of the existing mileage, and at this
rate it will require eight years to in
crease 1t by l per cent"
The increased expenses Of the railroads
IN 1920 over 1919, amounted to s1,495,-
364, 210, Krutschnitt said.
Influences, difficult to allocate te ex-
.pense items which were partly respon-
sible for increased expenses were set
forth by Krutschnitt as follows;
Increases in wholesale price levels for
railroad materials at least 20 per cent. !;
deferred maintenance Of Federal railroad
administration; outlaw strike OF April,
1920; restoration Of adequate passenger
service demanded by the public; re-es-
adjustment Of public bureau of informa-
ton and traffic officers; relocation Of
freight cars to owners rails that involved
an increase Of empty car miles in 1920 Of
32S. Os2. coo.
Universal interest in the transportation
problem is indicated by the great crowd
which is packing the hearing room daily.
