had been under consideration for some time," said Jones, makes it evident that withholding information from the commission and the public was DTS. meditated and designed to prevent legal proceedings to require observ- ance of our laws, and to prevent the public and press from commenting on it further and, I hope, final act of the postmaster general in his hand ling of the wire systems of the coun- try.
 This action taken in the manner employed is so reprehensible that it is difficult to describe in temperate language" added Jones. My advice to patrons of the telephone company is to flatly refuse to pay the increased rates.
 Members of the commission and Assistant Attorney General Candy seem to have no doubt but that the collection of these unlawful proposed rates can be temporarily enjoined."

and Kinel, forty miles from Samara, to Orenburg on the Ural river, while due north of Moscow, the allied Arch angel front runs south to VoIogda and then west to the Gulf of Omega, where it connects substantially with the Murmansk coast sector.
 The ring here is taken up in ef- feet by the Finnish revolutionaries, who hold the line down to the Gulf of Finland. The Czechs' armies are ac- lively engaged on a front which stretches from the Gulf of Margrav to Pskov, thence to the Gulf of Narva.
 Attention of the Bolsheviki leaders is held to the east by the energetic Polish forces, and, strangely enough, by German republican forces, and to the south by the Rumanian and French.
 The situation of the Hungarian so- viet is even more critical from a strict ly military standpoint The Czechs are pushing eastward toward Buda- pest and have already established themselves on a line from Vacz to Eperjes to Karpfen, while the Ruma- nian forces are headed west toward the same general objective

BolsheUik Quit Petrograd;;
 Rule in Russia TOttering

WASHINGTON. May 1.-Evacua tion of Petrograd by the bolsheviki reported today in dispatches from Helsingfors, in the opinion of observ. CTS here, may prove to be the initial break in the structure erected by the radical leaders which, if recent de velopments continue their normal course, would lead to the complete disintegration of the Bolsheviki gov ernme1t in Russia.
 This belief was strengthened by other dispatches telling of the indi. cated collapse O. the Hungarian so- viet, who, iI was said, have sued for peace with Rumania.
 Allied successes in the Archangel and Murmansk sectors, although mi nor in comparison with the great ex- tent of territory involved. are ex- pected by officials here to have mate rial influence. especially when taken in conjunction with the forward move ment of Czechs, Esthonians and loyal Russian forces on widely separated sectors.
 Analysis of the military map of Russia, maintained here for the infor- nation of the general staff, shows that a gradual encircling of the cen ter of bolshevism has been under way for months The effect has been to throw a wall of anti-bolshevik forces around central Russia, narrowing the territory held by the soviet to a comparatively small proportion of the area they had occupied.
 Troops of the anti-bolshevist leader Kolchak, according to latest reports, have been striking west in the general direction of Moscow, and now hold a general line through Glatzov, Sapapul

TO FIGHT PHONE RATE RAISE

PHOENIX, May '1.-Charging that the ''precipitate and unlawful manner in which the telephone companies at tempted to inaugurate increases in rates is from any angle wholly inde- fensible," F. E. Jones, member of the state corporation commission, an- nounced tonight that Assistant Attor- ney General Candy had been instruct ed by the commission to forthwith apply to the court for an order re- straining the Mountain States Tele- phone & Telegraph company from col lecting the increased schedule filed with the commission today.
 The new schedule provides for an average raise in business telephone rates of $1 per phone throughout the state, except at Bisbee and Douglas, where the rates are increased from $4 to $6 a month.

 ARIZONA BOYS IN FL PASO
WARREN DISTRICT SENDS GREETINGS
 TO ITS RETURNING BOYS IN Fl PASO

Although Arizona's fighting 15Sth infantry is being dined and feted in the Pass City no word had been re- ceiyed in Bisbee regarding the prob able arrival of the boys from the Warren District. The Warren District Commercial club yesterday sent a telegram to Governor Campbell, who is now in Fl Paso. to give the official welcome of the State of Arizona to its returning heroes. Following Is the telegram:
 "Hon. Thos. E. Campbell,
 Governor of Arizona,
 Fl Paso, Texas.
 Kindly convey in your address tonight the hearty welcome and sincere pleasure of the citizens of Warren District in the return of the soldiers of the 15eth Arizona. This community is anxiousIy awaiting the priVeIege of ueceiV- ing back the boys who carried it's name to honor oh the battle fields of France.
 WARREN DISTRICT CONNER
 GAL CLUB"
 Inquiry at the homes of Warren District fighters with the 18th re- garding the probable arrival of the boys failed to disclose any definite date, but it is thought highly prob able the vanguard will arrive not later than Saturday or Sunday night. Thus far no plans have been made for the reception of Bisbee's home coming troops inasmuch as nothing definite has been learned regarding

| their arrival. Considering the fact that they will probably come home one or more at time instead of in a body it was decided that plans would be made for a reception and official welcome at some time in the future when most of the boys will have returned.
 Secretary Egan of the Commercial club has begun the outline of an ex- tensive program and it has been de- cided that at the welcoming celebra- ton each of the soldiers will be given a certificate of appreciation signed by the mayor and councilmen The certificate will convey to the returned heroes the thanks and ap- preciation of the folks at home for the noble and victorious part they played in the great war A number of other stunts are to be arranged, and as soon as MT. Egan completes the outline of the program it will be announced.
 Warren District boys who served with the fighting 18th and who will return to their homes as soon as they are mustered out of the service are: John w. Chambers, Joseph Holden, Wm. T. Osborne, Allen G. Falby, Louis Landrum, Lee Ridgeway, Geo. McGregor, Harold Stanaway, Louis c. Vickers, Alfred Humphries, Harry V. Simmers, James Barton, William Gritchley, Isaac V.

AHe meeIlng tonight was the only one of dozen planned for today which was not broken up by soldiers and sailors who demanded that the American flag be displayed and ''the Star Spangled Banner" sung. It was not the fault of the service men that they did not "clean up" the Garden to- night. They tried hard enough but were overwhelmed by the pclice.

 An army of 1918 police, under con- mand of Chief Inspector Daily guarded all approaches to the Garden and held at bay more than 1000 men in uniform. recently returned from France. Led by a Scotch Canadian soldier and bugler who repeatedly sounded the assembly, the soldiers and sailors charged the police lines again and again but only to be beaten back Back of the officers on foot with night sticks held ready, were outposts of mounted men. They were reinforced by strong provost guard. One mounted officer chasing the Canadian leader of the crowd and an American soldier pursued them on horseback into the main entrance of the Hotel Latham where the American was fell ed by blow from night stick. The Canadian escaped through the bar room. The police became more en- thusiastic in their work after they had been pelted with a shower of bricks.

CAVALRY CHARGES
 RIOTERS IN PARIS
French Blood Shed in War Flows Again in Paris
 Streets; Scores Hurt

PARIS, May 1.-(5y the Associ-
 ated Press, 3:37 p. m.)-At this
 hour A number of persons can be
 seen lying in the streets. Ambu-
 lances are arriving in the vicinity
 of the Madeleine and the Opera.
 During the riots 30 policemen
 have been wounded.
 PARIS, May 1.-Oil lamps and can, dle were used to provide light in the headquarters of the American peace delegation at the Hotel de Crillon in the early hours tonight as a result of the strike.
 PARIS, May 1.-(By the Associated Press )-Serious disorders occurred to- day in Paris on the occasion of the celebration of May Day" French blood flowed in the streets and weap- ons which had been lately used against the foe were turned against countrymen.
 Particular efforts were made by the mobs to invade the place de la Con- corde and reach the chamber of depu- ties and the ministry where demon strations had been planned. It was in these attempts that the casualties had occurred.
 Long live the poilu," the crowd shouted at the Madeleine and ih the Place de la Concorde as they surged toward the soldiers and with pale, drawn faces the infantry withdrew and allowed the mob to reach the Place de la Concorde against a wall of pitiless policemen and determined cavalry.
 Then shots rang out. One policeman fell, slightly wounded. The cavalry charged, and along the Rue Royale the mob wavered back toward the Made leine church. Here and there a man or woman staggered, fell and remained motionless, horses trampling eight or ten outstretched forms littering the streets from the Rue St. Honore to the Madeleine church.
 Threatens U. s. Newspaperman~
 One policeman said to the Associat- ed Press correspondent as shots were heard hundred yards distant, ''they are firing. at us and 1 have gun Gpro- ducing a loaded weapon from his coat pocket) but I cannot fire upon my brothers" Others were less scrupul- ous, however, and the behavior of some of the policemen seemed like an invitation to rioting. One big police man knocked down a mutilated war Veteran in the sight of the correspon- dent, who reproved him mildly. The policeman, enraged, hissed you shut up. You will never again see Amer ica's shore unless you mind your own business"
 Finding that the attempts to reach the chamber of deputies and the war were futile speakers begged the crowd to turn to the Places de la and de la Bastile. The crowd obeyed, singing the ''Marseil- laise."
 At the Place de la Republique, the most populous quarter in Paris, all access to the squares were strongly guarded, cavalry charging repeatedly | and the firemen using their hose in spraying the crowds, already wet from | the rain, until ingenious youngsters turned off the water of the nearest | hydrant, leaving the useless hose in |

 Unusual precautions were taken in Washington today to protect cabinet members and court officials from bomb attacks.

 Toasts to Huns SiIenced
 The ,bugle call to arms" brought more soldiers and sailors hurryine to the already besieged doors of the Gar den, and the notes heard inside the pig building brought instant silence. Up to that time greetings had been proposed to "the great and free peo- pie of Russia" and "to rebuilt Ger many" Shouts from the uniformed men at the doors to make the Bol- sheviki sing The Star Spangled Ban- her emphasized the silence in the Garden. A hurried conference by those in charge of the meeting brought the decision to call off the speechmaking.
