CORPORATION COMMITS
SION TO Be INVESTIGATED

Phoenix, Arizona, May, s.
Members of the Maricopa County
Commercial club today filed with
the senate and house of represen-
tatives a request for a thorough
investigation of the Arizona cor
poration commission and the en-
actment of a statute which will
protect shippers in their legal
rights.
The charge against the COM
mission is based on it's recent or
der permitting railroads to put
into effect class rates which. in
some instances, are 280 per cent
higher than the maximum of Is
cents ton mile, fixed by chapter
Z, section SO of the revised stat
utcs OF Arizona, 1901.
With the commission itself a
complaint was filed charging the
Arizona Eastern, Southern Paci-
fic, S. F., P. & P, A. T. & S. F.
and R. & G. V. companies with
maintaining and charging rates
in excess of the maximum mer-
toned. 1t is also charged that
the rates prescribed in the con-
missions order are illegal.

London, March 49, The methods Of

mons today One of the unionlst
members, Harold Smith, declared that
the passive submission of the authori-
ties to "hunger strikes" and subter-
fuges had brought ridicule on the adj
ministration Of the law.
"The country faces mob rule" he
urged, "and emergency measures are
necessary. The home secretary has

is that the mob is taking the law into

UNITED STATES WILL

WILSON AND CABINET PREPARE
STATEMENT REGARDING
CHINESE LOAN.

washington, March 49, President
Wilson and the cabinet worked two
hours today over statement defin-
ing the attitude Of the United States
toward the Chinese six power loan.
1t was to have been made public this
afternoon, but just before the meet
ing broke up it was announced that
the statement would not be given out
before late today or probably tomor-
row.
A few days ago It was pointed out
that the new administration did not
intend to couple the recognition Of
the new Chinese republic with the
question Of the loan in any way that
might be construed as an effort on
the part OF the United states to force
favor for American bankers. There
is no reason to believe that attitude
has been changed and some officials
look for something definite along
that line in the statement. If one fin
ally is issued. A delegation Of bank
ers who visited the state department
last week received intImation to that
effect.

service of thanksgiving in the arch

King George at that time said that
Greece after the war probably would
have frontier north of salonil1 and
Monastir and he was inclined to make
Saloniki free port.
Since the occupation Of salonik by
the Greeks there has been some fric-

would be eventually overcome during
the negotiations for the partition of
