THREE CENT FARE IS AMONG THE IMMEDIATE
 POSSIBILITIES, SAID
Corporation Commission May Take U2 Matter Soon, Though Arizona EAsIcIn Data Has Not Yet
 Been Filed

Residents of Arizona interested in securing a lower rate for passenger fares than those which are operative at the present time, will doubtless be pleased to know that the three cent fare matter is to be taken up again by the corporation commission with in the next few weeks.
 This proposition has been before that body off and on for the past year or so, but no definite action has been taken because the commission has so far not been able to secure from the Arizona Eastern a schedule of operating expenses, necessary for reaching a definite conclusion in the case.
 However, owing to the fact that this road has been very hesitant about handing in the desired infOrma- ton, the members of the commission are seriously considering the advisa- bility of going ahead with the in vestigation regardless of whether that line furnishes the information or not.
 An official of the board yesterday stated that in all probability the com mission would take up the matter within Q short time, and furthermore from what he knew of the situation he did not know of any reason why three-cent fare law could not be enacted before very long.

IF
 TIE SHERIFF

When Sheriff J. c. Cash, of Green lee county, on September 30, took charge of and began the operation of the electric light plant at Clifton, following what he claimed to be the refusal of the regular operators Of the plant properly to carry on tho business, he placed himself right in line for mix-up with the state cor poration commission, although he was probably not at the time aware that his actions would result in a clash with that body.
 The commission yesterday sent the sheriff a letter setting out in no un- certain terms the fact that the mem bers were highly indignant at the sheriffs assuming control and oper- ating the plant without even advis- ing them that the service had been discontinued or was in danger of being discontinued
 It will De remembered that on the last day of september, Sheriff Cash and a force of workers took posses sion of the lighting plant of the Ari- zona Copper Company at Clifton, the plant being used to supply current to that place as well as to Morenci and Metcalf. The sheriff had taken this l course after, it is said, the regular
 employees had refused to continue tc

THE NEXT PLAY
 TO SAVE NECK
 IF V|LLALOBOS
All Other Means Having Been Exhausted It Is Probable That, Forlorn of Hope, Habeas Corpus Will Be Tried

At Q meeting Of the board of par dons and paroles yesterday a final ap- peal was made by the attorneys of Villalobos who is under sentence to die tomorrow, for leniency. The board announced that it could~take no further action in the case. Attorney General Jones having been officially notified by Superintendent Sims of the date of the execution, will go to Florence tomor- TOW. but not in his capacity of member of the board.
 The board had already refused re- quest for communication or reprieve for Villalobos. The request was made hy Juan AmaGor. agent of the Car ranza government at Washington and was forwarded without recommenda- ton by Secretary Lansing to Governor Hunt by whom it was transmitted to the board.
 Tn a long letter AmadOr recites that VilIaICbos is a citizen of Mexico and that it had been brought to the atten- ~tion of the writer that he was not given a fair trial. He concludes with the statement that Viualobos would feel very grateful to the board for inter vention in his behalf. The board re- plying to the letter states that the as sertions Of the letter are contrary to any evidence in the case, that has been brought before the board; that there has been no showing or attempted showing that tFe condemned man was deprived of any rights at his trial.
 The only possible loophole for the temporary escape Of VillalObos is through a writ of habeas corpus. That was tried yesterday and failed. Lin coin Clark, q young. lawyer of Florence, who has lately come into the case, made application to Justice Cunning ham of the supreme court for a writ, but the justice held that the petition was insufficient. There is vet the op- porturity to make application today before Judge Baughn of Pinal county or in the case of his disqualification, before any judge that might be named by him but in view of the action of Justice Cunningham. it would be cvi- dent that no purpose except that of obstructing the course of the law could possibly he served.
 Now proceedings have been begun by Superintendent Sims in the case of William FaItin. The original proceed ings to bring the question of his san ity hefcre the court and a jury Of Pinal county were, abandoned, presumably because of an intimation by Justice Ross that everything had fallen to the ground with the expiration of the death warrant Accordingly new notified tion has been made by the supcrintep- dent to County Attorney Richardson, who brought it to the attention of the court. The matter will be heard be- fore. q iIirNs at Florence next Tuesday
 The notification is made in the face of the announcement by Judge Stan ford in passing sentence upon Faitin last Friday that there was TO legal reason why sentence should not be pro- nounced: that is, that he was not in- sane at that time.

Following long drawn out litigation a settlement was made yesterday out Cf cOurC on the loss of R. l. Bake by he Home Insurance Company of New York. The fire causing the big loss tC the well known curb dealer and Indian trader, occurred m Au- gust, 1914
 Another loss settled yesterday on a compromise was that of a fire on November 30, 1914, in brick dWell- ing on Polk street, belonging to Hat tie Mosher. This loss was also in the Home company. It is understood that settlement in each case was made on approximately a two-shirds basis of the insurance written and accepted by the company covering the risk.

$598O7.89

While honest congressman are try ing to get rid of pork in Washing ton. honest hog raisers are making plans to get rid of pork in Salt River Valley. At a meeting yester- day by hog raisers, determined to ef- feet some means of marketing the rapidly increasing product of their ranches, an organization was sIarte,. which will care for all issues affect ing the industry in this region Thirty-five Tanchers met at the Chamber of Commerce and formed a temporary organization, which will be perfected at the next meeting, Wednesday, December 15.
 The purpose of the organization is to find a way to market hogs by carloads, at times most fit to se- cure the highest prices. Rates also came in for discussion, and it will be worked out so that the rancher with few head ready for market, by shipping with others in his con dition. may take advantage of car | load rates.
 l There is sometimes 8 congestion of l traffic in hogs from the valley, q 1 condition that the organization hopes to remedy. There are now ten or fif-
 teen carloads of hogs ready for mar 1 ket. It has been estimated that the hog census will reach 20,o00 to 25,- 1 GOO. and it is said that there nigh 1 just as well be 100000 porl1ers rais4t
 annually hereabouts. Official figures ] on production will be secured. anc

 They also notified Sheriff Cash it had been reported to them that the officer had obtained control of the plant by taking a force of his own men to the place and ordering the regular employees to vamoose.
 Consequently the officer has been given to understand that he is re- garded by the commission as having acted somewhat out Of his province when he assumed control of the place without having first obtained their consent to. make the change.

FOREST FUNDS
 APPORTIONEO
Thirteen Forest Reserve Counties of Arizona Di- vide Nearly Sixty Thou sand from Timber and Grazing Fees in 1915

State Auditor J. c. Callaghan has finished the long drawn out task of apportioning among thirteen coun- ties of the state the federal forest reserve fund, amounting to the neat sum of $59,S07S9, all of which will be turned over to county treasurers.
 This fund is paid to the state by the United States government and comes from the sale of timber from the forest reserves, and also from the rental Of grazing lands. The money will he applied to the various county road and school funds.
 Standing timber in Arizona federal reserves cover an area of 20,706 square miles. and the revenue derived annually has proven quite an aid in maintaining roads and schools.

 Everything went well until the question of who should pay the men in the plant was raised. Cash con tended that the mine owners should pay the men, but the latter refused to do so, and the officer called the attention of the corporation commits sion to the matter, and asked that the mine owners be forced 10 pay the employees. This was the first official notice that had been given the commission regarding the sher- ifs seizure of the plant, and an eX- planation was at once demandeddd of him as to what authority he had for taking over and operating pub lie utility without first obtaining the
