In her newly published book, "Crowding Memories" Mrs. Thomas Bailey Aldrich tells of a large fancy dress ball in London, which was at tended by the greatest and most il- lustrious persons of the day. When we arrived at MT.

 Ben-Ami, the star of Samson and Delilah" was seized with a sudden fit of vertigo one evening last week while playing the rehearsal scene in the sec ond act of Sven Lange's play. At the moment when he is supposed to sit down upon the footIights with his back to the audience to watch the rehearsal, he grew faint and toppled over into the orchestra pit.
 Shrewdly, he seized upon the acci- dent as all a part of his regular stage business and spoke several of his lines from the orchestra pit.

TO OBSERVE CITY'S 5OTH ANNIVERSARY
 OV FEBRUARY 14TH

Owing to an error in letter writing 1t was stated that the semi centennial of Phoenix and Maricopa county would be held Feb. r, which also is admis- sion day." J. H. .McCintock stated yes terday in making the correction. Ad- mission day falls on Feb. fl, which is also St Valentines day. The colonel as chairman of the committee recon mended admission day as the best day for holding the semi i-centennial eel ebration and the recommendation has been acted upon favorably by the board of directors.
 Feb. F was the day Governor Saf- ford fifty years ago signed the bill creating Maricopa county. In the lat ter part of February, 1871. Phoenix was incorporated into municipality. although it actually began on it's pres ent site Oct. 20, 1920. when citizens in mass voted to move the town from the old ruins east of town.
 Too many things are going to hap pen this fall; therefore. the joint fif- tieth birthday of Phoenix and the county will be held. as recommended on admission day. The legislature will be here then and it is possible the legislature will eGter into the cere- mony by reason that it was that body which fifty years ago passed the bill that chewed off a large chunk of Yav- apai county and named it Maricopa

the commission, and it was against this that the efforts of protestants were chiefly directed. The hearing was conducted by Commissioners r. A. Jones and D. F. Johnson.
 The proceedings were opened by H.. NJ. F'ennemorN of the firm of Chalmers Stahl, Fennemore and Longan, who appeared for the carriers. He asked for an increase in freight rates of 70 per cent, in passenger rates of 20 per cent and in Pullman rates a 90 per cent surcharge. and based his demand upon a ruling of the interstate com merce commission authorizing such in- creases, with the proviso that shippers seeking establishments could file claims against the railroad or railroads af- fected in each instance. The protests against the proposed raise in rates came chiefly from the mining compa- nies of the state in a unanimous dec laration that the increases would stop operations in practically all of the small mines and leased properties in the state. while at the same time ma terially affecting the welfare of the larger corporations The protests were made in the face of Fennemore's al legation that the CumminS- -ESch bill gave the interstate commerce commis- sion power to increase intrastate rates in all cases where those rates conflict with interstate rates.
 The first protest was launched by J. F. Curry, secretary of the Arizona branch of the American Mining con- eress. on behalf of the mines in gen eral He laid particular stress upon
Arizona republican., 1920-09-17

the thought that while rates might justly be raised in some specific in- stances, a blanket increase is unWar- ranted and unfair. This position was that of all who spoke against the pro posed increases.
 Oppose Freight Rate Increases
 C. H. DoweU. general manager of the Copper Queen branch of the Phelps Dodge corporation, protested particularly against increase in the freight rates for ores between Bisbee and Douglas and fluNes between St. Pauls spur and Douglas. at which point-t Copper Queen and Calumet Arizona smelters are situated. Dowell also lodged q protest on behalf of the Phelps Dodge corporation with regard to customs smelting. He declared that any increase in freight rates for ores from any mining center to Douglas must result in putting small mines out of business Smelting costs. he said, had almost doubled through freight increases already in effect, and as a result the Phelps Dodge corporation paid out $2250OO less for customs ores in 1919 than in 1918
 G. M. Colyocorresses. general man ager of the Consolidated Arizona SmeltinS company at Humboldt. fol- lowed Dowell with a citation of two specific hauls upon which increased rates could not he fastened without harm. The first was a haul from Mouse to Humboldt. and the second was a thirty mile haul of silver ore to Humboldt. COlvocoresses also de clared that in the case of more than sixty customs shippers who send ores to Humboldt smelters for treatment any increase in freight rates will mean an almost total stoppage of produe- ton.
 W. C. Mcbride. general maager of the Old Dominion Mining company, filed two specific protests. The first was against a proposed increase of from $2.50 a ton to S3.1212 on low grade ores from Bisbee to Globe. Me Bride declared that the present rate Ffs already too high. citing the fact that the net value of the ore, includ- ing it's iron and sulphide content. was s7.55. and the proposed rate would take almost half of this before any smelt ing process was even started. Such a tariff, he said. would absolutely stop the movement of low grade ores and concentrates. His second protest was against a proposed increase in the rate between Globe and Miami seven miles. The rate is now 30 cents a ton. with a large tonnage moving. Mcbride contended that this rate is adequate. and that any increase would result in the curtailment of mining in the Globe Miami district. He declared that his company was already in serious diff faculties due to increased freight rates and other costs.
 Hunor in His Protest
 c. H. McDowell had referred to the small mining companies In conection with increased rates. as sick babies" George D. Morris, general manager of the Gila Copper Sulphide company. said his company was not only sick baby" but that it had "one foot in the grave and the other on banana peel" He protested especially against tho increase in the haul from Christ mas to Havden. which is marked at a raise of from 221s cents to 30 cents. He raised a laugh when he told how, when his company was notified of a raise of 25 per cent in rates above the original 221s cents, with the notation

AUTOMOBILES STOLEN AVERAGE 3 \ WEEK

Three automobiles are stolen in Maricopa county each week, data com piled by Sheriff John Montgomery shows. The percentage of recovery is exceptionally high, however.
 Total thefts for the first eight and one-half months of the present year are placed at 1O2 an average of three for each 7-day period for the first 34 weeks.
 Recoveries during this period total 95. In other words, approximately 94 out of every 100 cars stolen have been returned to their owners. This is prob ably the biggest percentage of recov- cries ever known in the valley.
 Value of property represented in the 102 stolen machines is given an ap- proximate value of $140.00O. The value of the seven cars still missing is fixed at approximately S6500, so the per centage of recovery fixed on the value of property involved is still higher.
 There is still possibility that some of the seven stolen cars still missing ultimately will be returned to the own CTS. In some instances. cars have been recovered three and four months after they were stolen, and Sheriff Mont gomery is hopeful that some if not all of the machines will be located and re- stored to the rightful owners.
 About 50000 persons in the United States have been arrested for violation of the prohibition law.
