Manager and Chief Explain.
Full explanation of the fifteen cent
toll charge was given THE TINES this
morning by O. A. KrlnoalI, district
manager. and F. E. Chandler, district
traffic chief.
Heretofore a twenty cent rate has
been in operation" said Mr.. Krinbill,
| "and under it we furnish party calls.
That is if the party asked for was not
at the given number no charge was
made. Now it will be on a number
basis and we will not ask for parties
Favoring the s3 Per Cent.
We found" said Mr.. Chandler. that
| the party plan only benefited IS per
cent of our subscribers and that the
other SO only called for numbers any
way. Therefore the large per cent had
to pay for service the other portion
| received. This way is fairer.
1T was necessary to charge extra for
the party call system as it takes a
great deal of calling back and forth
and the time of operators to get par
ties. This way it is better all around
and the subscriber is saving five cents

| Under the new system" Mr.. Krin-
bell explained, the subscriber will get

ask for Harrison 1453 or what ever

proximate sum of $50 nickles a day in

dust on the grounds. but early this
morning it was feared that it would
cause the track to be heavy this aft
ernoon.
Every part of the county was well
represented by visitors. BY tonight all
the prize awards will have been made.
Sleek animals whith were admired for
four days by thousands of persons will
await the fair of next year.
The fun on the grounds will con-
tinue until about IL o'clock tonight.
Races Were Excellent.
Yesterdays racing at the fair
grounds was the best seen there in
years. all the old horsemen and turf
followers declaring that the speed
events could hardly have been better
ed for close rivalry and the same kind
of finishes. Starter Adams said that
seldom in his experience had he seen
as pretty q heat trotted as the first
heat in the 224 trot, which was timed

THE GROWTH OF DICTIONARIES

The English language must have great vitality, otherwise it would not grow at rate. roughly estimated of 5000 words q year This is the av- craze increase indicated by dictiou- aries published from time to time. Perhaps many words were overlook ed by the older Photographers but have been recorded by the newer. However, it is well known that every year adds to the number of words in the language. We are always mak- ing discoveries in science and other branches of human knowledge and we must have words to express new things and ideas
 Dictionaries in English began with John Bulokar's English Expositor' iH 1616 presenting 5OSO words Ed ward Phillips issued dictionary in 1656 containing 13,OOO words. This work reached the sixth edition in 1706 and had more than 2o,OO0 words The first attempt at thorough col lection is credited to Nathan Bailey in 1721. Samuel JOhnsons dis tionary appeared in 1755. containing 5O.000 words, and was for long time the great authority. Johnson gave extensive examples Of the use of words and precise definitions. His work was reprinted from time to

THREATS IF
 RETALIATION
Possible Action of State Fair Commission in Case Referendum Petitions Are Filed Against Law for Granting Concessions

The referendum which is being in yoked against the law which puts into the hands of the fair commission the business of issuing licenses for all con sessions for street shows and other forms of amusement to be held within five miles of Phoenix during the state fair, may have an important bearing upon the fair.
 meeting of tho commission is to be held next Monday. It was originally called for the purpose of making pre- liminary arrangements for the fair but t is now stated that all matters will be held in abeyance, pending the filing of the referendum petitions It was further stated that if the petitions would be filed, the commission. acting under the powers with which il is vested may postpone the fair for one year or may decide to hold one of con siderabIy restricted scope.
 None of the commissioners are resi- dent of this county and it is said that they are considerably fnccnscd at the movement for a referendum.
 It was pointed out that the Southern Fair association had been formed for the purpose of holding q fair at Tue son which has subscribed $5O,0OO for that purpose There is also talk of or ganizing a northern association to cm- brace the five northern counties. The fear was expressed that the action of the commission in the event of the fiI- ing of the referendum petitions might lead to legislation by which these two organizations would be recognized and by which the fair appropriations in the | future would be cut three ways.
 It is urged by those who are invok- | ing the referendum that the law did . not intend that the commission should | have charge of the issuance of licenses except to prevent rival attractions in 1. other parts of the town.

REFERENDUM FILED
 AGAINST REMOVAL BILL
Eighteen Hundred Names Signed Sus- pending Operation Of County
 Seat Removal Measure.

Another enactment of the recent legislature was placed before the peo- pie for the next election in the fall of 1914 yesterday where enough sigua- lures to the referendum petition on the county scat removal bill were filed with the secretary of state to bring the total up to 1900. when only 11SO were needed to refer the bill.
 This county seat removal bill has been deserted in COChise county more than any one county, as it was de- vised, it is claimed. in order that no removal could possibly be made in Cochise county However, it is now swung in the air serenely and the ac- tion of the 1900 voters of the state in signing the petition has suspended the operation of the law, even though it is q part If the code and will be em- bodied therein when the volumes q'e published.
 For while it looked as if the :irle limit would expire before the requisite number of names would be secured.

UNKNOWN MEXICAN
 KILLED BY LIGHTNING
Body Found Near BeardsIey Bearing
 All Evidence of Stroke.

An unknown Mexican was found dead last night at Bcardsley, apparent Iy struck by lightning. The coroner at Glendale was notified of the discovery and left immediately for the scene ac- companied by jury. After viewing the body the jury returned to Glendale and today will examine the witnesses connected with the case.
 This is the first reported death due to lightning for several years accord ing to old timers.
 The storm in which the unknown man met his death was the worst that has visited the Peoria section for many years the thunderstorm being accom- panied by q terrific downpour of rain that threatened to cause q flood of all the creeks in that country. A sand storm of more than usual violence was the forerunncr of the storm and it is supposed that this was what caused the unfortunate victim to leave the road in order to take shelter.
 When the body was discovered it was found that the lightning had discolored the body besides tearing off nearly all the clothing. The body will be brought into Glendale today and will be pre- pared for burial.

STATE FAIR MAY
 BE POSTPONED
Meeting of Commissioners on Monday to Discuss the Situation N Referendum Invoked Against Bill Civ ing Commission Power

i The state fair commission will meet | on Monday next with the aNoWcd in Itention of discussing the advisabiitA Iof postponIng the state fair until ;t later date There are all kinds of reasons wny this should be done aC- cording to the commissioners but none of them can be stated at this time. Further than this there is the propO- sition of the referendum that vas
 started yesterday against the lccpse bill of the last legislature which ;I-
 lows the state fair commission to have
 power to grant licenses for concessions
 within the bounds of the city of Ph3e-
 nix whether the city wishes that sort
 of thing done or not.
 This naturally brings the fair com mission and the concession men in the center ot a storm. and especially when the concession men happen to be q committee from the local lodge of El1s the storm is some storm at that Because of this storm several of the more prominent men about tor.n suggested the referendum petition a gainst that section If the act and as only 11SO names are needed they think these can be obtained right ne~e at home.
 It all comes about because of tho action of the city council last April in granting d committee composed "f Sidney r. Osborn, A. l.. Moore and A. R. Gattc., acting for the Elks the street concessions during Fair week. This was granted with the understand ing that the concessions down town should only show at night.
 Heretofore it has been the practice of the city tc allow the revenue that resulted from the concessions down 1 town to remain with the state Ia;r commission. This time however. it | vas understood that the concession 1 money should largely go to the Elks wherefore the position of the far commission, and of the Elks The 1lks arc largely in favor of the ~c- crcndum against the license bill.
