GIRLS GIVEN
 THIRTY DAYS
Two Young Women Sentenced for Vagrancy Ran Away With Deserting U. s. Soldiers From Fl Paso, Learned

A sentence of 30 days each yes terday was imposed by Judge Chas H. McLane on the two young wom- en who, when arrested last week on a charge of vagrancy, gave their names as Jean and Jane Wythe. The young women claimed to be sisters, though it is now believed this claim is false.
 The prisoners were arrested to- gether with Mrs. Annie Myers, lessee of a building on the corner of Granite and Gurley streets, who was charged with permitting the house to be used for immoral pur- poses. She pleaded not guilty. Her attorneys, O'Sullivan & Morgan, are seeking a change of venue from the justice court, on grounds of alleged bias and prejudice of the judge, Charles 1T. McLane.
 When arrested here, little was known of the two young women who yesterday were sentenced to spend a month in the county jail. It was known that they had come here from Phoenix, but that they were "floated" out of that city was not learned until yesterday.
 The young women, 1t is said by the authorities, came from Fl Paso, where, in company with two United States soldiers, deserters from the army, they obtained an automobile and came into Arizona. The auto mobile breaking down at Tempe, and the quartet running out of funds at the same time, all four were ar rested there. The soldiers were sentenced to terms of five and seven years respectively in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kans., the girls being released after they had been held as witnesses. The trial took place at Phoenix and it was from that city that they came to Prescott.
 It is understood that the two young women narrowly escaped ar rest on a charge of defrauding an shortly after their arrival in Prescott, when they left local hotel without settling their bill. They paid the account, however, after warrant had been sworn out for their arrest, but before they had been approached by officers.

YAVAPAI TAXPAYERS
 MAKE FINE SHOWING
From Thursdays Daily)

An excellent showing by the tax payers of Yavapai county ill the matter of delinquent taxes is brought out by Frank E. Smith, county treasurer, in a statement made pub lie yesterday.
 Delinquent taxes for Yavapai county for 1920 amount to $9O,OO0. This, Treasurer Smith states, is only 6-1O per cent of the total taxes, which amount to $1,610,0O0.
 Comparing the tax delinquency percentage of this county with that of Maricopa, it is found that the southern county has a delinquency list of almost 45 per cent of its to- tai tax list.
 Considering these facts, and the present conditions of stress and financial stringency, Treasurer Smith considers that Yavapai people have done remarkably well. Fully nine tenths of the $9O,OOO still delinquent will probably be collected within 60 days.

PROGRESS ON
 M. Y. DAMS|TE
G'rom Wednesdays Daily)

Nflom Wednesdays Dally)
 With approximately one-third of the earth required to make the nat ,ural dam already moved into place, Art Davis is able to report satisfac- tory progress on the Williamson val ley damsite. Before long it will be a changed scene that the visitor will see upon turning the corner of the hills and driving up to the narrows just below Jerry Sullivan's place.
 Engineer Homer Woods, in charge of the technical work of the dam, reported to MT. Davis yesterday that the earthwork in the fill on the sad dle between the proposed concrete damsite and the spillway, now con- tains 48,266 yards of fill, hauled ill by Contractor R. M. Caldwell's men since they began work on the pro ject. It is estimated that the earth moved to make way for the concrete core added to that filled in on other sections of the natural dam, will to- tai just about a third of the amount to be moved.
 Art Davis yesterday exhibited a telegram from one of his financial associates, offering $600,000 in bonds for the completion of the project. "I am glad to see that we are able to finance our project, but we are perfectly satisfied with the stock sales, which are holding up we'll If the work can be kept going at its present rate, we do not contemplate accepting the bond proposition
 The earth fill across the low sad dle has been raised to 1712 feet above the level of the natural ground, and this fill will be about 37 feet high when completed. The trench for the concrete core is averaging 4 feet wide and feet deep.
 Manager Davis, who has done most of the work of financing and managing the project, is well pleased with the progress and hopeful of speedy completion of the work in hand. Many are making the trip to the damsite, and this includes out-of- town as well as local people. A wis itor on Sunday was Wallace M. Fox, vocational training director, who said the project was the best thing of its kind he had seen in his travels.

Brindell Type Declared
Handicap to Unionism
Motion Picture Craftsmen Urged
to Have Regard for Char
acter in Leaders

Robert P. Brindell, convicted build
ing trades chief, and John L. Fitz-
p.trick and William 2. Foster, leaders
in the steel strike a year ago, were
named Yesterday by John Leitch, pro-
moter of industrial democracy" as
typical of group of labor leaders who
handicap the progress Of labor unions.
He mentioned them in addressing 200
mem bers of Motion Picture Craftsmen
No. GA, at an organization meeting in
Bryant Hall, at 723 Sixth Avenue.
"Brindell goes to prison." Mr.. Leitch
said. This reflects on you. If you're
on the job you won't have Brindells
and Fosters and Fitzpatrick, you'll
have Washingtons and Lincolns and
Teddy Roosevelts. The unions have
had no real goal; that is why they have
followed those men. Are you proud
of Foster, Fitzpatrick and Brindell?
"The unions must pick square, clean
men, they have been thinking too much
of dollars, when character is what
counts"
Mr.. Leitch, who was applauded re-
peatedly, described himself a. man
who had been Sentenced to forty
seven years at hard labor by economic
conditions" and Who had pledged him
self to oppose "minority rule" in in
dustry and politics.

Tax on German Exports
Not Favored i'm Italy
Indemnify Levy Will Be Found
Useless and Discarded, Is
Belief in Rome

Copyright. 1921 New York Tribune Inc.
MILAN, April 9.-The consensus in
Italy regarding the proposed so per
cent levy in Allied countries on German
made goods sold there is that such
measure will not prove satisfactory
and that it eventually will be discarded
a; useless. Although Premier Lloyd
George told the British Parliament
that the Italian government would soon
place a bill embodying the levy before
the Rome Parliament, doubt is ex-
pressed here, in view of the expressed
opposition in the Italian Cabinet, that
the measure will be pressed. New cleo
tions are to be held and the new Par
lament will not assemble until the end
OF May. 1t is highly unlikely, political
leaders say, that the proposed German
levy bill will be dealt with promptly.
The opinion prevails that although
Italy does not regard the matter of
sufficient consequence to be the cause
of friction between the Allies, some new
understanding will have to be reached
The general effect of the measure
would be to reduce the number of Ital-
ian orders for German goods, but il
is observed that many orders are still
going to Germany and that exceptions
! ally few have been Cancelled.

From The Tribune's WASHINGTON Burcou
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Reduction
Of the army to 100000 will be proposed |
in the Senate by Senator Borah when
the army appropriation bill comes up
for consideration.
Senator Borah said to-day he be-
lieved that under present conditions an
army of 100000 would be adequate and
that for reasons of economy the land
force should be held to this figure.
The size of the army, as provided for
in the bill which President Wilson We
toed was $4,000 This was a compro-
mise, as the House stood for 10000
and the Senate for $4,000 Senator
Borah and number Of other Senators
endeavored to reduce the army to
100000, but it was their purpose, if the
opportunity offered, to insist on q still
further reduction. Reduction of the
army to 100000 men would save at
least $4,000, 900, it is estimated, and
probably much more than that.
Senator Borah's 100000 program at
tracted notice to-day by reason Of the
growing talk about the Capitol that
army and navy expenditures are to be
reduced. Determined efforts in both
House and Senate to slash the army
and navy bills heavily are forecast
These efforts will have The support of
some Of the strongest leaders in both
bodies.
Secretary of War Weeks and Secre-
tary of the Navy DENLY have both been
advised by leaders to cut down their
suance Of this warning, the two secre-
taries have had their subordinates at
work going over the estimates which
were before the last session of Con-
grcss.
After the conference yesterday be-
tween Senator Penrose, chairman of
the Finance Committee, and Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon, wherein SEN
ator Penrose came out vigorously for
cutting army and navy expenditures to
the bone, it was disclosed to-day there
is growing sentiment in both houses
that these and other expenses must be
reduced in order to tighten tax bur-
dens.
This sentiment is becoming more
marked as the time approaches for
Congress to take up tax revision and
also to pass the annual army and navy
bills
Senator Smoot, who is one Of the
leaders on the Appropriations Commit
tee and also on the Finance Committee,
said to-day there was increasing senti-
ment III Congress in favor Of large re-
auctions in army and navy expendi-
lures.
Senator Curtis, Republican whip Of
the Senate, took the same view.
Chairman Good of the House APP
preparations Committee, who is just
| back from the West, also declared
army and navy expenditures must be
held down.
In the background of this talk of
economy is the growing apprehension
of Republican leaders of the political
effect on the party if some way is not
found of avoiding burdensome new
taxes. Chairman Good declared to-day
the excess profits tax could be re-
pealed and the levy of substitute taxes
avoided by proper policy Of economy.
1t is expected the influence Of the
War Department will be cast against a
reduction to 100000.

The Cunard liner Aquitania, which

held in Quarantine for five hours and
did not land her passengers until 1915

Her 479 saloon passengers were
largely business men who have been to
England and on the Continent on
financial and manufacturing enter
prises. The majority Of the returning
travellers were optimistic over condi-
tons generally, but all agreed that the
situation in England was perplexing.
Labor, which has run wild in Great
Britain and abandoned all reason, has
got to be checked with all the power
Of the government, according to George
Z. Learnard, president ofthe lnterna-
tional Combustion Engineering Cor
poratlon.
"The majority of the British people"
he said, "are reasonable. They have
grasped the situation accurately and
they frankly state that they cannot see

Lewis Nixon, forme~ Public Service
Commi ssioner, who returned after sew
eral months abroad, said that Europe,
while sorely pressed, was in hopeful
frame Of mind.
"Great Britain's agreement with Rus
STA, through Krassin, may result in
putting an end to the worlds impos-
sible attitude of ignoring 180,000,000
people," he said.
Another traveller on the Aquitania
was Nine. Luella Melhuish, an Ameri-
can coloratura soprano, who has been
singing at Nice and Paris. She said
she came here for the summer and
would return to Europe in the fall.

Strike Causes Increased
Demand for american Coal

The British miners strike is driving
foreign. coal business to the United
States, Charles A. Owen, president of
the Tidewater Coal Exchange, an
nounced in this city last night.
American wholesalers during the
last week have received many inquiries
for quotations from foreign buyers,
and are seriously contending for Eu-
ropes future business" he said. "The
possibility Of the continuance of high
prices for English coal, because of the
wage demands of the strikers, opens
the field Of competition to American
producers.
THE demand for bunker coal already
has increased because foreign ships are
loading for return voyages. American
coal sellers have not raised their prices
materially, and are willing to contract
for foreign deliveries at reasonable
prices"
