OF COMMISSION
is ATTACKED

PHOENIX, Dec. 20 (P-The SUI
preme court. is asked in an appeal
filed today from the Maricopa county
superior court by F. E. Stevens to
determine whether the courts OF the
state have jurisdiction to review the
actions of the Arizona corporation
commission relative to denial OF issu-
ance OF permits to operate motor
vehicles in the state for compensa-
ton and to change the orders Of
the commission in that respect.
The case grew cut OF the dismissal
of suit which Stevens filed after
the corporation commission had
denied him a permit to operate n
stage line from Phoenix to PrescotS
and from Prescott to Flagstaff,
through jerome. The comm;ssicn
found that public convenience and
necessity did not require sucn 9
service in denying the permit.

1t was pointed out by the company
manager that new gas mains have
been extended into several quarters
of the city that residents may have
gas easily available for domestic pur-
poses and that electric lines have
been carried not only into new por-
tions of the CITY, being the more
remote parts OF the additions where
new building is forecasted or already
contemplated, but that lines have
been extended to points several miles
out to give outlying territory electric
convenienceS. Almost every day new
requests are coming for original or
added electric service so tnat these
extensions are being constantly Iusti-
fled The womenfolk are showing
their appreciation OF electric current,
it is saids The refrigerating service
is constantly making demands upon
the company and that, it is forecast
by Manager Sexton, is destined 10
be one of the outstanding factors in
the electric business of the future.

lieves in Douglas" said Manager
Sexton. "The ramifications of our
business make contact with every
phase of the city's life, the family,
the business life, mercantile and in
dustrial. ard with due modesty, we
feel that we are acquainted and
intimately so, with the growth and
health OF the city. Feeling that way,
we are glad to testify that it appears
to be good, very good. we expect
the year just about to open to be
our best. We expect to see sub
stantial improvements in our resi-
dence districts by the construction of
new and modern homes. Those homes
will want, and Will be afforded, the
ccnVeniences and comforts that our
services will provide. We expect to
see additional population coming to
Douglas and we expect and believe
that new industries will have been
added before another New Year hoh-
day shall have been reached. W
"For our part of the coming year,
we promise to the people continual
ton of our earnest effort to give them
the best in service and we offer them

WILLIS PUTS IN
OWN CASE, BAIL
IS MADE $1,000

j. p. Willis charged with obtaining
the sum OF $1,000 from Mrs. Josephine
Blalack, of this city, under false
pretenses, appeared as his own coun-
sci in the local justice court yesterday
afternoon. The state was represented
by County Attorney Gentry and
Deputy County Attorneys Thompson
and Cornelius Willis was neld to
the superior court and his bond was
set at $4,000, which was $1,000 more
than the bond set following his ap-
prehension in Kansas a few weeks
ago.
A number OF witnesses were placed
on the stand by the prosecution.
Testimony tended to disclose the fl
nancial and business conditions OF
the company in which Willis is
charged with interesting Mrs. Blalack
in order, according to the charge, to
secure from her the $1,000.
The afternoon was featured by
the objections of the state against
testimony taken in cross examination
by Willis, which the state contended
was without bearing on the case.
The state contended that Willis, act
ing as his own attorney, was wasting
the time of the court, with his pro-
longed and wandering cross eXamina-
ton OF every witness. A large num-
ber OF people attended the hearing.
