NEW CANALS ON MARS
seen At FLAGSTAFF

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Dec. 9-Dr
Percival Lowell of the Flagstaff Oh
servatory here in an address delivered
last week at Boston, describes the
newest discoveries made regarding the
canals on the planet Mars. He dwelt
most on the two canals which made
their appearance between 1896 and
1909 and adduced further arguments
In support of the hypothesis of their
artificial character The subject of
possible signals from Mars to the
earth long has agitated scientists and
there are many who scout the theory
The objections arise only from those
who have never properly observed the
planet" declared Dr. Lowell. .or who
quote others in the like predicament.
1t IS a case of science versus ne
science, to which there can be but
one outcome"
Dr. Lowell told his audience that
the new canals are 1000 miles long
and of a slender. geometric charac-
ter, with regular lines of faultless
curvature beyond the power of unas-
sisted nature to contrive. For fifteen
years the planet had been carefully
scanned, he said, at every approach
to the earth, but these canals had
not revealed themselves. Thus they
were either new canals, or new en-
ployment of shallow ones, either of
which alternatives, he claimed, ar
guing artificially in their construc-
tion.

DAUGHTERS RACING
TO SAVE FATHER

TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 9.-While the
three daughters of Jesus Ramos,
treasurer of Sonora under Governor
Maytorena, who left here for Her
mosillo, are rushing to Mexico to en-
deavor to save their father, who has
been captured by Dieguez' troops,
friends of the family are awaiting
hourly news of his execution. Word
that Ramos had been captured was
received here yesterday, and the girls,
Maria, Pachita and Chinita, imme-
diately announced their intention of
going to Mexico to try to save him.
Friends of the family endeavored to
dissuade them, but they were deter
mined, and left for Nogales, whence
they will go to Hermosillo.
No word as to whether Ramos has
already been executed has been re-
ceived here, but it was rumored that
he was to have been shot at sun rise
today. If the execution was not car
ried out, the girls may be able to
reach Hermosillo in time to make an
effort to prevent it's taking place.

COMMISSION CALLS CASH
TO ACCOUNT FOR UNLAWFUL
ACTS IN OPERATING PLANTS

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 9.-Unlike
the governor and the adjutant gem
eral, the corporation commission is
not inclined to let all the actions of
James G. Cash, in connection with
the Clifton Morenci strike go un-
questioned The commission has
called Cash severely to account for
taking over and operating the Ari-
zona Copper company's light plant,
which serves Clifton, Morenci and
Metcalf, without notifying that body
in accordance with the constitution
and statutes.
Cash ignored the commission un-
til the Arizona Copper company de-
clined to pay the men the sheriff
had employed to operate the plant.
This is brought sharply to his at
tention in a letter requesting from
him complete report on his high
handed action in taking over and
conducting a public utility.
1t appears from the commissions
letter to Cash that the sheriff frac-
tured the law in innumerable places.
The communication follows:
I'VE were greatly surprised at the
contents of your telegram of No
vember 22 to the effect that you
as an officer of the county had been
operating a public utility plant for
nearly two months without having
advised this commission of same or
the facts and circumstances leading
up to your having taken possession
of the plant.
s"As we read the public utility laws
of the state this commission alone
is authorized by law to permit
changes in the operation, manage
ment or control of public utility
companies. 1t seems to us that you
are assuming great deal of re-
sponsibility for yourself personally,
and your bondsmen, in taking over
private property and operating it,
and especially when such property
is a public utility, the general su-
pervision and regulation of which is
vested with this commission The
state owes to public utility plants
not only full protection in the op-
Grafton and management of it's plant
but owes, as the law clearly designs,
the obligation of seeing that the
plant earns reasonable rates upon
the investment and such protection
as may be necessary in preserving
the property to its full value and
working condition.

of advice and kilograms with you
and the companies in your district,

companies severally and jointly that

lie service corporations to render
adequate and continuous service we
