CITY VOTES S5O0
 FOR RATE FIGHT

To protect the interests of Phoe- nix at a pending hearing before the interstate commerce commission, the ritv commissioners at their regular meeting yesterday voted $500 to De .at aside from the contingent fund for the purpose of assuring adequate representation.
 Eitv Manager Thompson, in pre- santir1g the matter, called attention +o the recent application or the .ssrscontinental railroads to the iri- krstate commerce commission for ,,arn1ission to put into effect from f.stern points to Pacific coast terinl- ,sa1s rates lower than rates in effect
 t tbe same time to intermediate o;,,ts which would compel Arizona p+rs;nners to pay exorbitant freight tar and have the effect of making .rizona shippers pay the losses occa- -rannad by the low transcontinental sates to Pacific coast terminals. The aStv manager also pointed out that ss fba railroads obtained their request, sshers u on the Pacific coast would Eve a decided advantage over JoD- bers in Arizona.
 EInances are required to properly
 x.csent these matters to the inter P.eto commerce commission. and the .itv managers suggestion that fhoe- i contribute its share of this ex- anse was immediately acted upor Eth favor by the city commission.

HORTON TROUBLES
 AGAIN T0 BE. AIRED

The domestic troubles of L. J. Hor- ton and his wife, Annie Horton. are again to be aired in the courts. Horton yesterday filed complaint asking for an absoltue divorce. He says he was married in Deming, New Mexico, on September F., 1918. More than a year ago, Horton brought suit asking the marriage be declared void because his wife at the time of their marriage had not been divorced from her former husband, William Craw- ford, for a year as required by the Arizona statutes.
 The case came up for hearing last fall and jury declared the marriage to be void. Mrs. Horton then filed an appeal and the supreme court re- recently decided the marriage was valid and reversed the decision of the lower court. So Horton now asks for divorce.
 He declares he is a man of ad- vanced age. His wife, whom he says is young and active. is charged
 with spending and dissipating ths
 money he accumulated to take cart of him in his old age. On February 26, 1920, he alleges, his wife threat ened to throw him out of their house then ordered him to leave and no return. On February 26. 1920. h. says, he had to leave her because o her cruelty. He charges her with in | fidelity and names several co-respon | dents.

BEES KILL ] MULES;
 INJURE TWO MEN

Two men are under doctors care three mules are dead and another dying as a result of an atteck made upon a ditching outfit of the Salt River Valley Water Users associa ton yesterday by a swarm of bees The attack was made on ranch be- tween laterals No. and No. 6 on the Eastern canal.
 According to rerCrts received by C. |C. Cragin, chief engineer of the Water Users associa tion, the ranclier had upset three hives of bees just as the ditching outfit, under the direc- tion of Joe Wing, was approaching the place.
 Without warning from the rancher tine outfit walked into the midst of the angered bees. In a moment the mules were covered with bees. each of which was seemingly intent upon using it's sting to the best advantage The mules, maddened by the pain, reared and plunged and kicked. and at the risk of their lives, Wing and one or two others of the outfit rushed in and liberated them from the har ness, being severely stung in the | attempt
 Wing and a laborer who had been stung badly were given medical as-
 sistance, and in a little while the
 mules were covered with great welts
 their heads, in the case of those who
 had been. stung most frequently, be- | ing swollen to twice their norma
 size; and despite veterinary care three of t9em are dead.

Two small bridges be- tween Holbrook and Springerville are out. but these will be repaired in a few days. Culverts are out on the road from Holbrook to Gallup, and two bridges are out on the road from Holbrook to Fort Apache, but these are being rapidly repaired.

Building Figures Put To
 Rout Baseless Rumor That
 Phoenix Is Not Advancing

Phoenix held 10th place in April among the cities of the United States in the number of building permits issued. In June, Phpenix held 42d place.
 Building material is not cheaper in the cities on the Pacific coast than it is in Phoenix, declared M. Weaver. Some people only think it is To prove that Phoenix has cheaper building material than most coast cities, Mir. Weaver quoted the following
 Prices Cheaper Here
 Brick, per 1000: Phoenix, $16; Pa cific coast, $20. Lath: Phoenix, SIP; Pacific coast, 13. Turpentine: Phoe- nix, s1.40; Pacific coast, 10 per cent higher. Linseed oil: Phoenix, $1.4o; Pacific coast, 12 per cent higher. At this time last year linseed oil in Phoe- nix was $2.S5.
 The following reductions in Phoe- nix in labor and building material since last March were cited by Mir. Weaver:
 RedLctions Since March
 Labor, 20 per cent; lumber. 40 per cent; lath and plaster, 45 per cent; structural. steel, 40 per cent: common brick, AZ per cent; face brick. 32 per cent; hollow building tile, 35 per cent; plate glass, 50 per cent; window glass, 25 per cent; building hardware Is to 20 per cent; plumbing installed 25 per cent; hot air heating plants 25 per cent; hot water heating plants 30 per cent: gas and electric fixtures 37 per cent; process roofing, 35 pel cent; shingle roofing. 32 per cent; metal work, 25 per cent; hardwood flooring, 50 per cent.
 Electricians. plumbers and all the building crafts report that business at present in Phoenix is good.
 Homebuilders say that institution has not been so busy for a month al at present. If any of you are thinking o. building, now is the time," declared MT. Weaver. Prices are not going to be any cheaper, rather they ar' going to rise. Pessimism has be come chronic with many of us; le | us get out ol that rut. We are liv' | ing in the best town in the best stat, l in the country. There is nothing tn | matter with us only some of us thinl I there is.

 PICKED AS VICTIM
 FUR FAKE 'DEGREE'
