of the corporation commission relative to the hearing which is at present in session
 The major portion of the testimony introduced yesterday by the Ray and Gila Valley company, had to do with the proposed rates which will be charged if the branch line asked by the Arizona Hercules is built. Rail road men to the extent of a dozen qualified as expert witnesses ana gave their versions of what proper rates would be.
 H. C. Hallmark. of Tucson, general freight and passenger agent of the Ar iZona Eastern, was the star witness of the day. He stated that in his opin- ion. passing it upon years in the rate department of his road, handling orc from practically all the mining com panies in the state, rate of 30c per ton would be fair and equitable. In reply as to whether he thought the In terstate Commerce commission would allow the Ray and Gila Valley to pay back the cost of the road to the Ari- zona Hercules providing the later company built the line, he stated that the whole matter savored of rebating, and he was always afraid of anything which leaned that way. He was doubtful if contract of that sort would stand if brought to the com missions attention.
 He also testified to the effect that practically all of the large mining companies in the state have built their own railroad lines connecting their mining properties with railroads neal : by. Some of the roads are as long as

BOARD EXPEL[S
 TWO BOYS, F|VE
 MAY COME BACK

At a meeting of the school board last night, Ut which were present Principal Cook, of the Phoenix union high school, and parents of the sever boys who were suspended from high school for hazing a freshman, It was decided by the board that all but two of the boys were to be reinstated at once. The two boys who were not re- instated will be suspended from school Tor the remainder of the year.
 The board held it's meeting without permitting members of the press to re present and at the close of the session refused to give out the names of the boys reinstated or of the two suspended.
 Principal Cook made a statement that the board had sustained both himself and the faculty in reinstating the five boys and susnending the two. He stated that he had not the power to eXpel anyone from the school, but thot he could suspend. The expell- ing power rests with the board of education.
 The five boys who were reinstated will probably be invited to return this mornin%, although it was intimated last evening that ttey might not re .. turn before the first of the week.
 Mr. Cook stated that the reason why two of the boys were expelled while five others were reinstated was that the two were actually caught in the act of cutting a freshm3n's hair. and when told to stop by three mem herS of the facuity they had merely langEed and gone on with their wora
