CARS CRASH ON WET STREET;
 NONE HURT

That Mrs. H. T. Southworth, her little daughter Fay and the nurse girl, Amy Aiken. are alive, is probably due to the fact that North Cortez street, where their car was run into by ma chine driven by Councilman A. l., Smith last night, was wet and slip pery.
 According to the story of an eye witness. Mrs. Southworth was driving north in front of Crutchfield's garage abrt S:3O last evening. Mir.

 Mir. Kramer, in addressing the league conference, added that in num- erous communities prohibition cases were being dragged into federal courts at the rate of 10 to 20 week. The result. he said, IS jammed court dock cts and delay in the trial of dry law violators. The Anti-Saloon League embodied its charges in a resolution which served notice that it-would a. tempt removal of officials derelict in prohibition enforcement. At the same time officials made public a partial list of candidates for congress whom it will seek 10 defeat because of their position on prohibition.

Mines, Imperiled By Rail Rate Increase, Ask Raise
 Be Not Given By Arizona

PHOENIN. Sept 6.-Protests by operating mining companies and oth- CTS against an increase of g per cent in freight rates within the state en- liyened hearing before the corpora ton commission here today, in which the carriers asked increases as fol- lows:
 Freight rates. 25 per cent.
 Passenger fares, 20 per cent.
 Surcharge on Pullman fares, 50 per ccn5.
 At the opening of the hearing coun- sel for the railroads asked that the in- creascs be allowed, basing argument on the statement that the Interstate Commerce Commission had allowed the raises on interstate shipments. Protests. chiefly by mining interests. were made immediately, the statement being made that if the increases were allowed practically all small mines and leased properties in the state would he compelled to close.
 The welfare of the larger compan- ies would be materially and adverse lv affected. it was added.
 The protests were made in the face of a declaration by counsel for the carriers that a provision of the Cum! mins-E Esch law gave the Interstate Commerce Commission authority to increase intra-state rates when those rates conflicted with interstate rates.
 The first protest was made by J. E. Curry, secretary of the Arizona branch of the American Mining Con- gross. speaking for the mines in gen ,ral lie laid special stress on the assertion that while increases in spe- fife instances might be justified. . blanket raise would be unwarranted md unfair.
 . Other speakers against the increas- $ took the same position.

FLU COMMITTEE
 HOLDS MEETING;
 WILL GET CASH

Money for the partial payment of bills contracted during the recent influenza epidemoc has been prom ised to the finance committee of the general flu committee by Engineer in Charge Fred'k D. Browne, and it is probable that at least s2,oOo will be turned to the committees treasurer not later than Monday, to be applied in such manner as the committee may direct.
 This arrangement was agreed on at a meeting of the general com mittee held last night at the fire hall, following the consideration of bills and a tentative apportionment of responsibility between the Alas kan Engineering commission and the town. MT. Browne agreed to as sume 70 percent of the obligations, leaving the town to pay the re- mainder, and on that basis, or ap- proximately that basis, the settle ments will be made. unless it is pos sible for the town to induce the commission to shoulder a larger share of the burden.
 At previous meeting of the committee. when the bills were first presented, the cost of the epidemic was shown 10 be approximately S20,- 900. The finance committee, to which the bills were referred for investigation and revision, secured a material reduction, and in their report last night the total cost was shown to be S15,575.29, of which amount the town Is obligated for S7,3335O. the commission s7.s65.- s4, and the Indian fund s375.95. From the total there is a deduction of S1,sO650 for supplies returned ; to the commission. and the commit ! tee has other supplies on hand to
 the value of s1,422.50, purchased
 from local merchants.
 Thus it is shown that the net
 cost of the epidemic was S13,76S.75
The Nenana daily news., 1920-06-26

which is subject to some further revision, but it is believed that the amount will not be materially chang ed In the final accounting.
 The ratio of responsibility between the town and the commission was ar rived at on a basis of treatment of patients at the various emergency hospitals, the town being chargeable for approximately 30 percent of the hospital days and the commission 70 percent.
 An effort was made to induce the commission to assume greater share of the burden, but Mir. Browne said that he could not pay more than the amount indicated by the 70-30 adjustment. On that basis, he said. he would be willing to ad- vance a large part of the amount owed by the commission. and indi- cated that he would turn at least S2,000 over to the committee imme- diately. The remainder of the 70 percent of the influenza debt, about IS1 900. he said, would be paid as soon as the committee could make Ia final report.
 The towns share of the total cost on the 70-30 basis is about lS4,100, which the committee hopes to reduce greatly by collecting hos pital charges from all town patients treated, excepting those who nursed or otherwise helped during the cpl demic. It may be possible in that manner to reduce the debt to about 1900.
 The committee will start collect ing immediately, and is authorized to employ a collector if necessary.
 Hospital care will be charged for at the rate of s6 per day
 ! The cost of caring for the na- 'tives who were i'll and for burying those who died probably will be re-
 covered from the branch of the Gov
 ernment having jurisdiction over na- ! tives in Alaska.
