TEMPE LOSES FIGHT FOR FREE TELEPHONES
 FOR TOWN OFFICERS
Corporation Commission Stands by Decision of Supreme Court in Tue son Case, and Says Town Never Had Power to Make Such
 an Agreement

| On the ground that the territorial | legislature never delegated any power i to municipalities to fix rates of public l service corporations, the corporation 1 commission yesterday dismissed the | complaint of the town of Tempe against the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph company for failure to i carry out the terms of a franchise
 granted the overland company in 1911. | The commission in it's order stands 1 firmly on its powers as defined by the supreme court over a year ago in the
 case of the Tucson Gas, Electric Light
 and Power company, maintaining that
 it alone has the power to fix or regu- late rates.
 Under the terms of the franchise i granted the Overland company by the town of Tempe, the company was to furnish eight free telephones for the
 use of town officials. When the Noun tain States company bought the lines and exchanges of the Overland, tele- ! phone rates were readjusted under an
 order of the commission fixing charges
 in all towns where two exchanges were ! being merged. The commissions order | permitted telephone companies to fur i nish one free telephone to every 2000
 people, hereby reducing Iempes quo ta 10 one instrument. Tempe, the order states, ever had any power to fix
 rates for telephone service, the power
 being at that time vested in the terri
 torial legislature alone. The only
 power delegated by the legislature, the
 commission holds was control over i streets and alleys.
 The commissions order in the Tempe
 telephone case is expected to set a pre-
 cedent as there are a number of other
 cases pending which may be settled in
 the same way. Among these are the cases which involve the rights of the
 towns of Nogalcs and Douglas to fix
 the terms of contract with public ser
 vice corporations.

questioned them carefully. 1t seems
that after they had picked up the bail,
q man came out OF the side entrance
of the house, saw them reading Miss
Lenora's message, and shouted after
them. The boys had sense enough
to scoot. The nan ran after them,
but had to give 1t UP. Here is their
description Of him"
The inspector took a piece of pa
per from his pocket. They all waited
breathlessly.

'but boiled down and put into reason

to: A man Of medium height, rather
thin, pale, and after running a
short distance he put his hand 10

One of the boys thought his nose was
a little hooked, and they both re-
marked upon the fact that although
he shouted after them. he used no
swear words, but simply tried to in
duce them to stop. This description

very possible that something may
transpire to help US. or course, my
men went through it roughly when
we brought Miss Lenora away, but
that wasn't anything Of a search to
count, if the place really has become
a haunt Of criminals
"What about the ownership OF the
house," Quest asked, as he took up
his hat.
The inspector nodded %approVingly.
