Chairman F. A Jones of the Arizona COrporation commission returned yes terday from Washington where he had attended the hearings from May 2S to June F of the application of the rail- roads of the country before the l. c. Commission for a fifteen per cent ilr crease of freight rates. It was the most important hearing, said MT. Jones, in the history of the country and could not have been made more impor- tant for all the railroads of the coun- try are parties to the blanket appl- cation.
 On the other hand all the great in dustries of the country were repre- sented in opposition to the applica tion. Among them were the American National Live Stock association, the association of the farmers of the northwest in control of a vast system of elevators the apple growers of the northwest. the citrus growers of Cali fornia and the Mid Continent Oil peo- pie.
 What would be the result of the ap- plicatiOn, Mir. Jones said he could not predict but q disquieting feature of the hearing was the self f-assurance of the railroad representatives that the increase would be allowed. The appli- cation was based on the contention of the railway companies that the Adam son law had greatly increased the op erating expenses of the roads. But it was testified by statisticians that that increase amounted only to 1 S-10 per cent. It was also shown that the con- dition of the roads of the west was very prosperous and that their profits amounted to 12 per cent on their book value. He would not say that the trunk line east of Chicago or the roads in the southern classification were earning more than they ought to earn; they had probably felt the operation of the Adamson law in a greater degree than the western roads, for previous to the operation of that law they had paid lower wages than had been paid by the western roads.
 It was argued by the opponents of the increase that an addition of fifteen per cent to the rates on food StuffS would greatly increase the burden of the public already sufficiently bur dened. The Mid Continent oil people objected to the increase on the ground that it woul dgive to the Standard Oil company a greater advantage over the independents than it already enjoyed. In the first place the Standard Oil company through interlocking director ates would enjoy indirectly a benefit from such an increase and moreover it would not be affected adversely by the increase since its products are transported almost wholly by means of pipelines.
 After the conclusion oi the hearing, Secretary T. W. TOmlinson of the American National Live Stock assO- citation expressed confidence that the Interstate Commerce commission would not grar- the application in the terms presented: that is, it would not permit an increase o4i the rates of food stuffs but might do as to iron. steel and sim liar articles not of general consump- tion.
 An application for fifteen per cent increase of rates in this state is now

RAILWAYS CONFIDENT THAT THEY
 WILL LBE ALLOWED T0 RAISE RATE
Chairman Jones of Arizona Corporation Commission
 Returns From Important Hearing at Washington at Which Railways of Country Ask to be Allowed to Raise Their Rates to Shippers Some 15 Per Cent

pending before the state corporation commission and for that reason MT. Jones did not take as active part in the discussion before the l. C. commits sion as he might otherwise have done. But he took occasion to point out to the commission the effect of the in crease upon the intermountain terri tory. now under the handicap of pref erential rates to the coast. Though as a result of the recent hearing at Chi cagO there was recommendation for the abolition of the preferential rates, no order to that effect has yet been made by the commission. So long as the preferential stands, the proposed increase of freight rates would result in a further discrimination against in termountain territory. For instance, rate of S1 to the intermOuntain terri tory would become $1.15 while a pref erential rate to the coast of 50 cents would become only 6s cents.
 Asked as to the probability of early action on the Chicago recommendation Mir Jones said that he had learned nothing of the intention of the com mission. As to the subject of the in crease asked for. MT. Jones said that lie took the position that the roads should be permitted to charge a rate that would yield them a reasonable profit but before a rate is put in, it should be made the subject of a sci entific inVeStigation.

 COPPER |S NON
 PR0DUCEDHERE
New COrnelia Plant at Ajo Starts Production at the Rate of 10000 Pounds
 a Day; First Run Monday

Yesterday marked an event in the history of Arizona the significance of which was appreciated by compara- lively few. It was the shipment of the first lot of electrOlytic copper from the New Cornelia mine at Ajo and to com memOrate the occasion the first block of metal extracted by this process will be sent to the state capitol to ever stand as a monument there to the in . trOduction of electrolytic copper in this state.
 Captain John c. GreenWay, general manager of the New Cornelia and also general manager of the Calumet Ari- zona interests stated yesterday after noon that the electrolytic plant is run ming in all departments and will pro- duce 10000 pounds of copper by this new process each day. In the course of ten days, it is anticipated that the plant will reduce 100000 pounds.
 All parts of the plant are now in sue cessful operation and producing results fully up to the highest expectations of those responsible for the introduction of the process into this state.
 The successful application of this principle to ore reduction in the great copper states have always marked an epoch in the mining industry. While the process is not new to copper it is novelty here and as such the result ac- complished with New Cornela ore in the model plant which has been in .. stalled there will be watched with keen interest in all parts of Arizona.

LAWSON ADMITS
 HAVING STOLEN
 MU5GR0vES JAR

William Rawson admitted yesterday that he appropriated the Willys- Knight automobile belonging to V. C. Mus groves on Saturday night, and after taking joy ride" left the machine on Grant street, just outside the city limits He further admitted that he stole a motorcycle in Tempe. And in cidentally he admitted that he had been an associate of Ashley StelZride and Harvey Ward, who are now under ar rest charged with passing worthless checks to the amount of several hun dred dollars. This does not mean that RawsOn was in any way connected with the passing of the checks or that he profitted by the proceeds beyond, perhaps. casual entertainment at the hands of StelZride.
 The arrest of Rawson was effected by Policeman Robert Anderson short ly after Anderson has found the Mus grove car in the brush on Grant street. Suspicion had attached to RaWson be- cause it was known that he had been employed on the Musgrove ranch and that he knew how to operate the Mus grove car. When arrested Rawson de- nied any knowledge of the car having
