The Auto Speed Carnival.
The drivers of the racing automo-
biles that have been in this city for
the past few days lived up To their
name Of speed kings Saturday after
noon at the driving park. Three thou
sand people attended the races, which
were truly carnival of speed. Ex-
element was tense from the time the
dare devil drivers appeared on the
track for the first race at 3:45. until
th. In anna x,ta. nNar 1T = IN o'clock
The track at the local park had been
rolled and smoothcd until it was in
the best condition possible. but after
the first race the turns had been
churned To mires and il was impossi
BILE to speed very fast on the corners
Despite this fact the speed kings gave
an exhibition of daring driving, such
as never before witnessed i'm this Sec
ton of the upper peninsula. The i'm
mcnse crowd was pleased immensely
at the showing made. by the time
the second last race was completed the
turns had been torn up for depth of
nine inches and the drivers who par
ticipated i'm the last race took their
live i'm their hands in making the
turns.
Louis Disbrow, holder of sixteen
worlds records on beach and dirt
tracks. astounded all by his reckless
driving. Although Disbrow did not
lower the state record for the mile OF
1:14 2-5, he made the distance in eX-
cellent time for poor track. His
time was minute and % seconds
IN exhibition run was given by Dis
brow i'm his straightaway car the Jay
Eye-See. This is one of the largest
racing cars i'm the world and was built
to race on only a straight track. BY
hanging pound weight to the
rear axle, Disbrow was enabled To run
his car on the circular half-mile track
without spill, but on several occa-
sions, while making the turns, his cal
was on two wheels and the spectators
held their breath till il righted itself
His trials against time i'm his Simple>
Zip" dirt track car also were good.

LIMITED TRAINS WILL

Comm iseion Refuses to Grant Peti- ton Of Santa Fe for Special
 Trains.

Number 3, the Santa Fe Limited, running west must in the future stop for passengers at ali points in Ari- zona. according to the opinion hand ed down by the corporation commits sion of the state yesterday. The or der takes effect immediately.
 This order is in response to an ap- plication by the Santa Fe for can celation of the former order of the commission requiring all trains, lmi- ted or otherwise to stop in the state for passengers. This former order was issued some time ago, and has been in effect up to the present time
 The reason given for the action by the commission and for their re- fusal to grant the petition of the Santa Fe, was that sufficient demand is found in the district for all trains to stop. and that insufficient service is given to permit even one train re fusing to stop. The order settles a matter of long standing. and makes future train service in the north cer- tain.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT
 ON CHANDLER CITIZEN
Quarrel Over Tie for Paying for
 Services

Officers are looking for George Carson, a laborer who committed a murderous assault yesterday morn ing on A. A. Welch at his home two miles north of Chandler Welch is a cripple, the owner of a ten-acre ranch on which he had employed Carson to clean the ditches. When the work was nearly finished, Carson called for his pay and Welch told him that he would pay him when the work was done.
 This conversation took place at the home of Welch while the latter who lived alone was preparing his breakfast. As he was so engaged Carson armed himself with a ham mer and struck Welch in the back of the head cutting an artery Welch almost bled to death before he re- ceived assistance. He was taken to Chandler for treatment.
 The men were friends. Carson hay ing been brought to Arizona to work for Welch by the latter but they were reported to have quarreled often. In the heat of the discussion yesterday morning Carson, it is said, grabbed the first instrument which his hands could reach, and hit his | employe on the head At last re- ports Welch was in a serious condi- | tion and it was doubted if he would ! live, his age and general physical condition being against his recovery
 When the sheriff's office talked to | their deputy in Chandler last even i ing, no warrant had been sworn out against Carson and it is not known | if he will be prosecuted. However an investigation of the case has been ordered and it is likely Carson will have to answer for the attempt on his friends life.
 Carson is a man of about 40 o1
 50 years of age, heavy set, weighs 200 pounds, is , feet ten inches high and when last seen wore a white hat and corderoy pants. He is of a flor i'd complexion, with dark hair and had about two weeks growth of beard on his face at the time of the at | tack on Welch.

LOUIS PORTER|E BREAKS
 LEG DOING BIKE STUNT
Mr. Sims Ely Carries LuckIess Lad Five Blocks to Save Hurting
 His Injured Member.

Louis POrterie, one of The Republi- cans best newsies, and a son of Joe Porterie, fell and sustained fracture of the right leg yesterday morning in front of the Manual Arts School After medical treatment, it was found that the hone had been well smashed, and that the accident is therefore very serious.
 Young Porterie. who is about fif- teen, was riding a bicycle for the edification of some playmates in front of the school building. He is quite an expert, but in some manner contrived to fall. Sims Ely, who was passing in an automobile stopped, picked up the unfortunate boy and carried him to the superintendent s office where Dr. Palmer, the school physician was summoned.
 It was a long walk for Mr Ely, and the boy was by no means a lightweight. But rather than submit the luckless youngster to the torture of a jarring automobile ride, the good man totted him clear to Cen tral avenue and Monroe, to MT. Lop- CTS office Later. pr. Plath, the family physician, took charge of the case and transferred the boy to his home
 Louis Porterie is one of the best natured and most competent of the Republicans kid -wOrkmen. He is something of fancy rider, and aims to be a regular big man with a mo- ] torcycle route of his own some day

PASTOR JONES WILL
 PREACH ABOUT HELL
Meeting Closes This Week at Christ
 ian Church

That people have peculiar views about Hell and future punishment has long been a matter of common know ledge Yet there is such a place, clear ly taught in the Bible, and this will be discussed by Rev. Claude C. Jones to- night in the Christian church. Is there any reason for a place of future pun ishment? Observation of people would indicate a need for such a place, de spite efforts of higher critics to re- flute any such theory. However, the Bible teaching on the subject will be explained by Rev. MT. Jones in reply to an inquiry. Those who wish to know the 'Old Time" religious opinion of this subject vii do well to hear the dis cussion.
 What is the purpose and reason for 'The AtOnement" will be the subject of the evenings sermon. This is of i'm mediate concern to every living sould and will be presented in an able and logically forceful manner.
 This will be the last week of the re- and those who have had no opportunity of attending heretofore should avail themselves of the privilege of hearing some strong sermons on live topics vitally affecting the life of the individ- ual.

 On investigation the commission held that the payment should be re- funded to Johnson and that it was not a payment for location but for water rights.

 [. s [. CASES
Corporation Commis sion Hands Down Several De cisions in Matters of Ser vice Connections and Rep aratiOn

Several complaints before the corpo- ration commission against the Pacific Gas and Electric company We're settled yesterday by the commission, and the final orders in the cases sent out. The most important and far reaching of the cases was that of Victor Steineger vs. Pacific Gas and Electric company.
 The complainant alleged that the P. G. & F. had refused to give him in dividual service in the rooms of his rooming house when he had asked for meters in each room where light ser vice was given. He based the com plaint on the fact that such meters had been installed in several of the busi ness blocks of the city and that the action of the company in refusing was one of discrimination
 The commission passed favorably on the complaint, and will issue an order to the Pacific Gas and Electric com pany requiring them to install the me- ters in each room or set of rooms as Steineger formerly requested.
 The ruling of the commission in this
 
 decision that meters may be installed in each room of rooming house where such meters are paid in advance, and that for each meter so installed the company making the installation may charge the regular minimum rate of $1.00.
 The Garfield School hn nf +. ,la;x 4l Phoenix city school board against the the Pacific Gas and Electric company was finally settled. The complaint all legged that the company forced the board to pay for the extension of their lines to the school prior to giving ser vice, and that no arrangement between the company and the board could be reached to obtain refund of the money thus expended The commits sion ordered that reparation be granted 1 the school board to the sum of their expenditures
 1 Other Orders A refund of something over $20 was ordered by the commission to Julia | Mcdonald by the Pacific Gas and FL l ectrlc company The re1und IS or de- posit paid the company some time past which was not returned as per con- tract.
 At the request of Grizard and Myers made last fall that the commission or der the Pacific Gas and Electric com- pany to extend their lines so as to in- clude their residences, the commission yesterday so ordered, and the connec. | tion will be made immediately.
 In the matter of the commission vs i the company relative to an extension of service lines to include the residence of W. H. Shirley on East Washington street, the date of hearing was set fol Monday morning, February 16 at Il o'clock
