CHICAGO, March 6.--James W. Lusk, one of the receivers of the Si. Louis and san Francisco Railroad. tes- tified in the interstate commerce com missions hearing of the application of forty-one western railroads for n- creased freight rates. He said one req son why railroads are not earning sui ficiently was because various state commissions have reduced their rates as a punishment
 The railroads of the United States are under the weather" said Lusk. Tt is fact you cant get away from. They say certain roads have been footed and the state commissions have reduced rates as punishment. But who does it hurt? you never hear of any looters being hurt and you never see any loot CTS going to jail.
 Innocent ones are hurt, employees are laid off and stockholders fail to get dividends. Government control of rail- roads has come to stay and the only way they can prosper or even live is for railroad officials and government off cials to deal frankly with one another, You should not attempt to strangle the roads

BISHOP MOUz0N
 ARRIVES WITH
 GREAT MESSAGE
First Evangelistical Visit of One of Heads of Southern Methodist Church - Two Weeks of Daily Meet lngS

Owing to the lateness of the train, which was due in Phoenix last evening shortly after S o'clock. Bishop F. b. MouZon, who comes to conduct ser ies of meetings of evangelistic charac ter for the Southern Methodists of this section. did not arrive until after mid night. He was met at the depo6 by Rev. W. J. Sims, pastor of the Central church; Rev. Samuel M Cheek. presid- ing elder of the Arizona district: and a committee of laymen of the church, who in spite of the late hour waited up to receive the distinguished churchman. Bishop MouZon was conveyed iInmedi- ately to the Adams Hotel where he will stay during his visit to Phoenix.
 The first sermon of the meeting will be delivered from the pulpit of Central church this morning at II o'clock. The subject Of the sermon has not been an nounced, but it can be assured it will be an interesting one for Bishop Mou- Zon is noted throughout Southern Methodism as one of the master preachers of the denomination, which is tantamount to saying that he is one of the leading pulpiteers of the country.
 Never before iQ the history of Phoe- nix has a Methvtlist bishop agreed to come to the city and stay two weeks for the purpose of delivering his mes sages to the people. The visit can be construed two ways. one as a compli- ment to the city and it's importance geographically. and the other as a real ization on the part of the leaders of the church of the need of strengthening the work in the great southwest, and giving the people of this section an op- portunity to come in contact with the leaders of the denomination.
 This is the second visit Bishop Mou- Zon has made to Phoenix Ills first was made last fall soon after he was appointed to have episcopal supervision over the Pacific conference of tho church. At that time he came to get acquainted with the preachers. this time he comes to know the people and the places. While here he will hold the district conference for the Arizona dis trict. That will come during the reyi- = val meeting and will bring many addi- tional ministers to the meeting.

LONDON, March 6.-The British battleships Queen Elizabeth and Prince George, and the battle cruis CT Inflexible with their eight if teen inch guns. and an even dozen of twelve-inch guns opened an at tack yesterday on the principal forts on the European side of the mar rows in the Dardenelles. Two of the forts were damaged and the magazine of @ third blown up. These forts, which guard the narrowest part of the straits from the Euro pean side, were believed to be the strongest along the entire water way, although those on the opposite side of the narrows are almost equ- al to them
 One of these forts, marked on the admiralty maps as l., is armed with two fourteen-inch guns that could hardly reach the Queen Elizabeth, which fired twenty nine rounds from fire, and had the advantage of her aeroplanes to direct her gunners. The other two forts are armed with three twelve-inch guns. and some smaller cannon
 Tonight's official statement from the admiralty discloses that the East Indies fleet under Vice. Admiral Sir Richard Peirse, who is flying his flag on the Euryalus, has joined the allied fleet.
 Admiral Peirse undertook the bom- bardment of the Notifications of smyrna which were seriously dam aged. In the meantime the light cruisers continue their attacks on the Qualifications along the coast of Asia Minor from Besika, which is near the entrance to the Dardenelles, to smyrna, doubtless with view of preventing endorsements being sent to the straits where there is already a large number of Turkish troops with whom the marines who were landed to complete. the destruction
