COMMISSION TO
 PROTECT SHIPPERS

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. l6 To give special attention to the claims of shippers and receivers of freight for alleged overcharge made by the railroads, the Ari- zona Corporation Commission has installed and now has in working order it's reparation claim depart ment, which will be handled by experts, especially trained in that line of railroad work.
 Every Arizona shipper who be- lieves that he has been over charged by the railroads, is re- quested to file with the Corpora tion Commission his original freight bill and his original bill of lading which will be made the basis of an investigation.
 If it is found that the railroad against which complaint is made has overcharged the shipper or receiver of freight, the matter will be presented to the offending road and a request made for reparation.
 Should the railroad refuse rep aration after showing is made that there should be refund, the matter will be taken up formally and a hearing held, in cases where there is sufficient justifica- tion the matter will be taken to the Interstate Commerce Com mission if necessary.
 The amount of the claim for reparation will make no differ ence in the attention it will re- ceive at the hands of the Carpor- ation Commission. The intention is to assist the smallest shipper to the same extent as the biggest shipper in Arizona.
 One feature of the reparatior work to be done is that no charge whatever will be made for the service rendered. The reparatior department will at all times be a the service of the shipper an( will be ready to assist him in th' smallest details.
 We have had this matter O installing a reparation depart ment under consideration fo some time," stated Commission CTS Geary and Cole to-day, ''an now that it is in working orde we would be pleased to hear fror each and every shipper in Ari zona who has ground to believ that he has been overcharged O a freight shipment. All we as is that we be supplied with tn necessary date on which to mak our demand for just reparation.

Sunday morning about four o'clock John Walter Smith, who had had some hard luck with his automobile between here and Snowflake, while on his way to the livery stable to get a team noticed that a fire was started d between Wooster's store and To- mas Ortegas new saloon building. He immediately put it out and then noticed that there was an- other fire at the rear door, which he also put out. The fire had ev- idently just been started by some person as rags wese found burn ing saturated with coal oil. The rear door was completely char red. The fire was discovered just in time and had it not been put out would have not only burned the small frame building, but would have endangered the livery stable and a whole block if any wind had come up. This is one of the worst crimes known and the culprit when caught should be given the full extent of the law.

HUGO 3. KOCH
 IN THE CITY"

Great Play in Which Popular Star is soon to appear here. Hugo B. Koch, in Clyde Fitch's master piece, The City, comes to the Winslow Opera House, Friday, December, 27.
 So frequently are the New York critics quoted that the ire quent repitition must raise the question of doubt as to the au- thenticity of the quoted experts. In the case of ''The City" it is only necessary to refer to the news accounts of demonstrations which followed the fall of the curtain upon the second act. when the play was first produced at the Lyric Theatre in New York. Not for eighteen years had New York witnessed such an ovation. The whole audience rose. with one accord to cheer the masterful conception of the dead author and the wonderful acting of the company. It seems but simple justice to the late Clyde Fitch to record these facts.
 The story is simple. The chief actors in this human drama are the members of the family of George Rand, a banker of Middle burgh, N. Y, they being father, mother and three children, George, Teresa and Cicely. The banker is the father of an illegi- innate child, George Hammock, who knowing that he has some thing" on the financier, bleeds him upon various occasions. The first sccise. shows the i::sbr.ry e the Rand family in Middleburgh, the act eliminating in the dis covery of the son, George Rand, Jr., that Hammock is the illegi- innate child of his father. The
 revelation kills the banker. The
 natural son thereupon decides to remove to New York, thus listen ing to the call of the city. Believ-
 ing it is for the best interests of
 his fathers memory, he engages
 Hammock as his private secretary.
 The second act shows the family ensconed in a beautiful home on Fifth Avenue. Rand having en- tered politics, he is on the eve of being nominated for governor when he makes a second discov- cry which proves even more dra- . matic than that of the previous act. Hammock crook, dope fiend, is in love with Cicely Rand, and when taken to task by his employer he confesses that they , are married.
 It was the desire of Mir. Fitch
 that the finish of his story should . never be made known, that is, in , advance of the performance, and the same wish has actuated the United Play Company in with , holding the final of the second act. Suffice to say that the climax is one of the strongest ever given
 play.

out Of the game. Last week Harry
Kelly one Of the clubs best hitters
and a clever shortstop, suffered the
same accident. Every man on the
regular team has been out OF the
game ct some time during the season
and at present the club is badly brok-
en- up by Kelly's absence from the
lineup. However. they seem to be
playing with more ginger, due in a
great deal to the presence OF Jeffries,
who is doing the backstopping, while
Queisser is holding down the first
sack. They are putting up game
fight now and are getting lots Of en-
couragment from the fans.
OF all the clubs in this circuit. Mus
catine deserves the honor. After hold
ing down the cellar place for the
whole season and trying three differ
ent managers and large number of
players, their position has never been
bettered and they are receiving more
liberal support from the bugs than
any other team. At present Joe Wall
is in charge of the club but does not
seem to have the club that his prede-
cessor had built up. When Wall took
charge of the club, he released all but
three men and took on the balance OF
the team from the defunct United
States League. Their playing is far
below the standard of the Central AS
ISOLATION and it is safe to say that
Muscatine viii finish the season in
the position that they now occupy
To the loyal fans Of Muscatine must
go the laurel wreath for their undi
/. vided support of the team In the face
of the difficulties encountered.

battle BY smacking Hollingsworth
twenty-four times for a total Of TWEEN
ty runs, ard grabbing the second
game on ten blows which netted eight
runs. Keoknk scored one in the first
combat and three in the second. The
opening game was one in which the
healthy stiekers Of the home squad
could not bs COPIED with by Holdings
worth, although 1t was apparent after
Ottumwa whanged in eight runs in
the first inning that the dauber of
the finger was so far down that to
raise 1t was a herculean task.
The humane streak in Umpire Mel

was featured by an overabundance OF
pepper, but when Ottumwa chased in
two runs in the initial round the
enemy realized Ottumwa was super
Tor.
The opening game was devoid of
any spectacular features except the
unanimous hitting of the home folks.
The second spasm was tinctured with
periods of nice fielding by Bresnahan
and Queisser's home run. The score.
