WILL GO TO OxNARn

some little time ago Rev. $. w. Gage pastor of the Baptist church TOT the past two years; resigned his position here and requested that a successor be appointed. Mr Gage had an offer from the church at Oxnard, Cal, and went there last week to look the field over He returned on wednesday evening and has given out the information that he will leave Mesa in time to preach his first ser mon in OXnard on August 11th. This Will give him two more Sundays at the Baptist church, Mesa. While in Mesa Rev. Gage and family have made many friends, who will be sorry to lose him. He had worked hard in the interest of the church. has been broad minded and energetic. Among his many duties he has found time to edit and publish the Mesa Moni- tor" monthly 12-page magazine de- voted to church work. In leaving for OXnard MT. Gage says it is not be- cause he does not like Mesa and the Mesa people. but he believes that there is a larger field for endeavor at Oxnard; a greater number of people needing the gospel. and where he can do more for the cause. The people of Mesa and the salary paid him have nothing to do with change of pastorates. MT. Gage is a conscien- tiOus Christian and wants to be where he can do the most good for the church and for the principles he up- holds

HABIT OF STEALING
 RIFLE RANGES
Investigation Which May Lead to
 Proceedings in Federal Court.

That the habit of larceny is quite strong in a considerable part of the population has been demonstrated fre- quently; but that any man, or any number of men, should ever conceive the idea of stealing the principal part of rifle range will strike the aver age citizen as a trifle extraordinary.
 But that is just what has been happening right here in the state of Arizona. The most serious OffenSe has been committed down on the Yuma range, where the framework of large number of targets used by the National Guard has been stolen; and not only the wooden framework, but the steel rods that go with the targets have been carried away. Like wise, in one or two sections, the same sort of practice has been carried on. but in smaller degree. It is at the
 Yuma range that the real thieves
 have been operating.
 This sort of performance has been pulled off more than once. In fact. it has continued until Adjutant General Harris has decided that forbearance has ceased to be a virtue The loss is not great, but it is sufficient to call for drastic action, and the adju | tant general has decided that a whole some lesson is coming to some body. So, he proposes making an investi gation with the idea of meting out
 swift punishment to the guilty per sons. As the stolen property belongs 1 to the federal government the prose
 cutonS will take place in the federal court, and that the punishment will be of a rather severe character goes without saving.

MESA
BURGLAR LOCATED
 BY SIZE OF SHOE
Alonzo WhitIock, Who Tapped Till At Crescent Drug Store, Cap
 tured by Marshal Peterson.

A broken glass in the show window of the Crescent Drug store in Mesa tempted young man named Alonzo Whitlock to enter the store for the purpose of committing theft. The hole in the window was not quite large enough and he removed some more of the glass, then cut the wire screen on the inside and climbed into the store. His object was to secure money and the cash register was the only thing touched, so far as known
 The register contained s115 in nic- kels and dimes and this money the boy proceeded to appropriate
 When the store was opened yes terday morning the cut screen was noticed, as was the enlarged hole in the window. An investigation was started and it was discovered that the party who had entered tine store had left a very plain imprint of the sole of his shoe. c. Fred Bracket took a carbon copy of the track and the officers at once began to look for some one who wore shoe that would fit the track. Sitting on the curb in front of the Mesa City bank was Alonzo Whitlock, a stranger in town. Marshal Peterson sized up the feet of Whtlock and called him over to the Crescent Showing him the hole in the window, he said: q be- lieve that you are the man who en-
 tered this store" This Whitlock de- nied He was then taken to the A.
 & B. store and it was found that the shoe he wore fitted the imprint of the track perfectly. At this evidence
 Whitlock broke down and confessed
 that he entered the store and took the money from the cash drawer, a
 total of s1.15 in silver and nickelS.
 While the offense was in reality Iburglarly of the first degree. MT Gulf did not want to push such a charge against him. Instead he filed a complaint with the justice of the peace charging petty larceny As WhitIock is but 19 years old and claims this is his first offense, plea of guilty to the misdemeanOr charge was accepted. and Whitlock was sent to the county jail for ninety days. He was taken to Phoenix on the afternoon train by Officer Cal Morse. When questioned by the justice WhitIock said he entered the store | because he had been here a week and had only had two days of work, and | he was up against it." When searched, in addition to the money taken from the Crescent he had $225 which he had earned, and hence was not led to commit the crime because lof hunger. It was a question Whether ] he fully realized the nature of tle

TEMPE
TEMPE BALL TEAM
 WILL 50 TO GLOBE
Will Make the Trip Overland And Play
 A Game Sunday.

The Tempe championship base ball team of the Salt River valley expects to leave for Globe Sunday morning where they will play that afternoon. Several Gays ago, John Spikes, coach of the local team received a telephone call from the manager of the Globe aggregation asking if the Tempe team could give them a game on Sunday. Naturally the challenge was gladly ac- cepted and the necessary arrangements have already been completed. Two automobiles have been secured and the trip will he made via Roosevelt where "a short time will be spent inspecting the dam. It may be possible that the boys will leave here Saturday morn ing instead and play a game that af ternOOn with the Miami team. A teie- gram was sent yesterday morning asking for game with that team but at the time of writing no answer had been received. Possibly they will re- main over and play Monday The one game on Sunday afternoon is sched- uled though and will come off without fail
 Who will compose the team from here is yet not fully decided. Several good players from other valley teams may be taken, for it is certain that the boys do not want to lose the game. What ever the lineup is though the team is most certainly going after the game, merely for the honor of winning if nothing else
 This trip will be quite a novelty to a majority of the bows playing on the Tempe team. Few of them have ever been to Roosevelt and the trip is one that has been long awaited for by all.

TEST BEGINS II MAY REACH

 so obscure and indefinite that great difficulty was experienced in drawing this part of the corporation code bill. So. under this law, there is no pro- vision for an appeal as such-that is, no appeal can be taken as from a court of inferior Jurisdiction to an other of superior jurisdiction In the event there is an attempt to set aside the finding of the commission, that must be done by an original com plaint, presumably in the superior court, which will be asked to set aside the order of the commission. Then of course, the question of the con- stitutionality of the law can be at tackled. And once the case is in the superior court it can be taken to the supreme court But because of the statutory limitations placed upon the jurisdiction of the supreme court if is evident the case cannot be taken there in the first instance.
 But, as already intimated, the out come of this case is of overwhelming importance. Upon it's final determi- nation rests the entire Arizona theory of the control of corporations as this theory exists in this state. This de- cision will have the result either ot establishing definitely and positively the stringent views held by Arizona l legislators and the majority of tht makers of the constitution, or it vii greatly modify the powers claimed under it.

LAUNDRY NOT TO START.

It seems the young men were promised a large amount of work, but the laundry buildings be- ing located outside of the town limits, the water charges were too high, they believed, and there were other eX- penses connected with machinery i'm provements that made them hesti- tate to take hold. MT. Lemon says however, that he is convinced that there is money in the proposition but that he is not in possession of enough capital to place the business on it's feet; otherwise he would take hold of it himself.

tion of corporation control will be largely decided by this case
 In the transfer case, which was finished early in the afternoon, quite lot of testimony was offered Many business men were present and testi- fled for the railroad company. Also, there was some evidence on the other side. The testimony itself was not of
 a particularly interesting character, as there is in reality not much dis
 pute regarding the facts. The case
 was handled for the creamery com
 pany by R. Johnson. The principal
 witness was J. B. Cook. the local su-
 perintendent.
 In his statement near the close of
 the case, MT. Chalmers said
 T will say frankly that in my brief
 propose attacking the validity of the
 statute under which this proceeding
 has been brought. The Ray and Gila
 Valley road in fact does not care for
 this business The road is intended
 primarily as a means of ore trans
 portatiOn It is owned by the Ray
 Consolidated and it's charges against
 that company for the handling of
 freight are merely matters of book
 keeping"
 At the conclusion of the hearing an
 agreement was made that Mir. Chal-
 mers should submit q brief by Aug
 ust 12, that a brief should be sub
 mitted by the complainant by August
 26 and that Chalmers should have un- til September to file another brief in reply. It will probably be well to- ward the end of September before the case is decided.
 Quite a formidable array of counsel appeared in the other case, that in which the commission is asked to es- tabIsh rates on creamery products or Arizona railroads generally The Santa Fe and it's dependencies are represented by Chalmers & Kent; Eugene s. Ives appeared as of record for the Arizona Eastern; Attorneys Hawkins and Franklin for the El
 Paso and Southwestern; F, M. Hart man for the Southern Pacific In addition other attorneys and officers appeared for some of the lines, these including E. M. Clapp and Paul Hast ings.
 One of the questions of law which will take a prominent part in these proceedings is the claim of counSel that the points in controversy have already been settled by the interstate commerce commission and that the corporation commission therefore IS without jurisdiction. It is also con- tended that where shipments nave been made on a road that leaves the state and again enters it, this is ar interstate shipment and also beyond | the jurisdiction of a state board. The only witness to testify in thlS proceeding was J. B. Cook, superln- tendent of the Pacific Creamery com panv. Cook said his company has | been selling about half its condensed milk in outside territory and half II Arizona; but that the outside snip ments have been reduced. He salC much of the outside business has beer conducted at a loss.
 l But the point of interest Tn thlS case is the fact that a schedule ol rates has been prepared by the cream cry company, which asks that th' roads be required to adopt this sched' ule in place of it's own. The schedule which the commission is asked t' | adopt is given below:
 The rates are given in cents tol 100 pound shipments.
