the increased cost of living in the last seven years, or if it was not a fact that forty per cent was nearer the mark right here in Phoenix. Chairman Geary said that everything was going up, bacon was up 103 per cent. whereupon Commissioner Jones created a laugh on all sides bv saving that Eggs are the only things that are coming down"
 It was brought out that the in crease asked by the men would amount to $7.50 per day. Commis- sioner Jones asked if this would be a burden to the company and the manager said yes" Whereupon the attorney general asked if $7.50 was a burden the company must be near Iv insolvent and ready for a receiver which was answered by Manager Mitchell that the proposition might come on sooner than MT. Bullard thought.
 MT. Geory asked why Manager Mitchell had told the men. whom he had a right to hire and fire, why he thought it necessary to take the matter of bettering conditions up with the Los Angeles office, and he was told that the manager believed it to be an important thing and was not willing to take snap judgment. .'No you never take snap judgment

Then why did you not take Ari- zona and coast towns" Mir Nit chen replied that he was not look ing for wages in the coast towns but took towns in Kansas and Texas. Mir. BulIard asked if Mir Mitchell did not know that Tucson, Douglas and Bisbee paid much higher wages than did Phoenix MT Mitchell did not know this He said he did not know they paid 9 cents in Utah He did not know what the rates were in California but believed that population controlled the rates lie did know however that Los Angeles paid p and 27 cents MT Bullard asked if it was not fact that local conditions and cost of living ought to govern wages, to which MT. Nit chelI answered that he believed not altogether.
 He said that in the last seven years the company had raised the wages three times from seventeen cents to twenty cents. Commission CT Cole asked if this was in accord ance with the rise in the cost of living. Attorney General Builard asked if twenty per cent measured

TWO POPES IN
 PRESCOTT RACE
Bill Trcmainc and Dl-. Rcdc- will Plan to Send Their Motors Over an SS-AIiIc Course at Frontier Day Celebration July |

That the SS-mile automobile race
 around the famous Prescott Loop on
 July 1, the date of the Frontier day
 celebration at the Mile High city is
 going to be one long round of speed
 and excitement was made certain here
 yesterday when two of AriZona's great
 est race drivers made it known they
 would enter. William D. Tremaine
 who drives races in such a mad man
 ner that he has earned the unasked
 but not unappreciated name of Wild Bill' will race the loop in his well
 known and well used Pope Hummer veteran of 15O,OO0 miles of Arizona'S s
 worst roads Dr. F H RedeWill who
 was one of the first to let his hair blow
 back in an Arizona race will drive q new Pope Hartford run less than three
 thousand miles.
 The race win be all the more inter
 esting for the two Phoenix entries now
 on the slate. An old boat versus new one; an amateur driver against one of the best of the professionals. That is what the fans of Prescott and most of the rest of the state may expect on their great Fourth of July celebration. It is not known yet whether or not there will be other Phoenix entries in
 the Prescott race The time is yet long enough for some minds to remain un- fixed There are other cars and other drivers in Phoenix that would compete
 in the class Of the entries so far re corded, and perhaps the capital city, which is to supply so many for the Prescott crowd, will also put good share of the cars in the competition. Tremaine's old Pope is famous in 1 the southwest on more than one score.
 For one thing, it was one of the first | cars to race in any event in this state. and for another 1t made the unbeaten record of 6 miles in 1:16 from Los | Angeles to san Bernardino in the 1910 edition of the Los Angeles to Phoenix road race

Little old New York certainly is some show town Statistics recently collect ed show there are 113 legitimate thea terS in Manhattan alone. with half q dozen more to be completed before the opening of next season. Besides the regular shoWhouses Manhattan has scores of motion picture theaters, q development of the theatrical business dating back not more than half dozen years Tn that period 265 theater for motion pictures have been established. Of this number 227 are interior thea ters and the other thirty eight are of the open air kind. Including both the regular theaters and the motion picture houses there are 384 places of amuse- ment in Manhattan Many states of the union cannot boast of this number Every one is opened during the season, which speaks well for the prosperity of New York.

at anything do you MT Mitchen2"
 He said the seniority rule was ob- served but that the company believ- ed it had the right to transfer men to other runs if the efficiency of service was to be considered
 Then the matter of arbitration was again taken up and the question was asked Are you willing to arbi- trate?" but MT Mitchell said he would prefer to wait until later to answer the question, he would how ever wire MT sherman to come right away, and would also submit the arbitration proposition to him by wire. He said however that he was willing to meet the men at any time, but would sooner meet and treat with them individually.
 He said that he had discharged Ward for threats against the com pany in order to be on the safe side He could not afford to take chances. At this point the hearing was postponed until the evening.
 Cars were attempted to be run during the day without success. There were no additional develop ments in the down town sections. It was generally conceded that the two sides were a great deal nearer each other yesterday than they had been since the strike started.

proposed scale as submitted hy the men to the manager as much more satisfde- tory than that used by .he company. He submitted figures that he had gathered from the records of the street car companies in different sections of | the country in every cas of which wag- es were in excess of those paid by the Phoenix system
 He gave the following list of maxi mum and minimum wages paid in various cities outside Arizona: San l Diego, 25 to 33 cents an hour; Los l Angeles, 25 to 90 cents: san Francisco, | 25 to 90 cents; san Jose 25 to 30 cents l Oakland, 90 to 42 cents; Sacramento 29 to 33 cents; Stockton, - to 90 cents; | Salt Lake, 90 to g. cents; Butte, 37I2 to 4212
 1 In Bisbee street railway employees are paid 8 cents the first year and 36 | thereafter.
 He said that the committee from the strikers had tried three times to 1 interview MT. Mitchell on the griev- anCes but without success. Belford gave his evidence in q most conyinc- ! ing way, and made d very good wit ness
 He was followed by William Ward | who told his story. stated his griev- ance in about the same words that have been stated in these columns heretofore. He explained that he had never threatened trouble to the company, but had told Inspector Bush whom he believed responsible for his discharge. that he CBush) would be the cause of trouble for the company if he persisted in treating the men
 
 He said that the company eXacted $75O from each new man that went to work as a guarantee that he would stay four weeks, and that $4 additional was taken from the salary to pay for the equipment of each man. When q man was discharged he turned in his equipment and got back the four, and the $7.50 was re- turned after the four months unless a man was let out when he was re- turned the money. He said he be- Iieved he that he was not discharged because he had refused to flag the train at the Santa Fe crossing At West Adams street, nor because of his conduct towards MT. Bush, but because it was known that he was talking to the men about bettering their condition. He did not like be- ing transferred to the Brill line rom the Washington street line because II took away his seniority. He thought he was entitled to the Washington street run He said that Mitchell and Bush both had the habit of re proving the men before the passen- gers on the cars, and that Bush. the inspector had been especially tantal- izing. He said that he was mar ried man with three children, and had never worked on any street car system elsewhere

prediction of General Speaks, the state
warden, that even under the Hoaslin
law the hunters license will produce
not less than $4,000 a year. When
the closed period of the Hoaglin law
has passed, 1t is his expectation that
the revenue from the hunters license
law will amount well up toward the
hundred thousand mark.
This means that the new law will
sustain the. fish and game commission
entirely. 1t has been getting from the
state for the last few years from $685..
900 TO 100000 year The appropria-
ton bill for this year will carry the
usual appropriation for the commits
sion, for 1t is felt that the new law Is
a venture yet, and it would not be safe
to make the commission depend on 1t
for support at once.
Each hunter is required by the law
to wear number conspicuously dis.
played while he is hunting, the mum.
ber corresponding to the serial mum.
ber Of his license In this way the
hunter who violates the law will be
subject to Identification just as auto.
mobile owners now are. There Is no
provision In the law for furnishing
these numbers, but the state commits.
sion is SO well pleased with the new
law and the prospects for returns un.
der 1t that 1t will probably stand the
cost Of having these made and given
free to the hunters with their licenses.
1t is violation Of the law either
to be found hunting without q mum.
Der SO displayed, or to refuse to dis.
play hunters license when called
upon to do so. Each day that person
hunts without having license is to
constitute separate offense, so that
hunting throughout an entire season
without a license might bankrupt an
ordinary man II the court held strictly
to the law.
At the end OF each quarter the coun.
ty clerks are required to settle with
the state fish and game commission
for the licenses issued during that
quarter, and to furnish the commission
with lists containing the names and
addresses Of all who have taken out
licenses.
