What is known at the weather office
as storm number four in the proces
sion of "low pressure areas" which has
been stretched across the United States
since December 19, broke over Arizona
yesterday, and sent down another tor
rent of rain. Possibly the heaviest rain
since the storms began, fell at Roose
velt almost all yesterday. According
to a late telephonic message from the
power house, the reservoir had gone up
nearly a foot and it was still raining
strenuously.
The elevation of the lake at the regu
lar observing time seven-thirty yes
terday morning was 145.80 feet.
Translated into terms of quantity of
water this means 371,203 acre feet. The
gain was .83 foot in elevation and 6,711
acre feet.
Over the intake weir, poured 1.20 feet
of water, and the Tonto Creek was
running 3.r,0 feet deep over its intake.
( n both streams, there is prospect of a
good rise by this morning, when the
head of the flood, occasioned by yester
day's heavy rain reaches the lake.
The storm was accompanied by an
electrical display in the mountains be
tween Roosevelt and Mesa, and an elec
trical non-display for a short while in
Phoenix. The load was soon balanced,
however, and the city lights were only
off a few minutes.
Pleasant Forenoon r
A gray, but far from threatening
forenoon drew many people to the bou
levards yesterday. Motor parties ap
peared, at first a few of them, and
later, quite a number. The Country
club run on the oiled road, was of
course, the most popular drive, and
many made it before the (clouds closed
in about noon, and drove the fresh air
seekers indoors.
The rain in Thoenix amounted to
something under a quarter of an inch

TUCSON, Dec. 27 Eighthundred
marooned passengers on- ir"number of
Kspee trains which were west bound
and held at Tucson some for three
days, leave here at midnight in three
trains and will pass through Phoenif
to go over the Santa Fe tracks from
there to the coast.
The young men of Tucson tonight
got up an informal dance for the un
fortunate visitors in the station. Rail
Toad officials helped and the rainy day
of gloom was turned to jollity.
Fritz Bernard and J. P. Jeffries, for
merly of MacDougel and Cassou of
Phoenix and Jim Scotti, proprietor of
the opera house deserve the credit for
the affair. They hired the big Mexi
can orchestra and everybody had a
bang-up time.
The passengers have been kept here
nt the expense of the Espee.
After desperate attempts to get the
main line of the Southern Pacific re
paired, across those washouts which
have cut service between Tucson and
Maricopa, the work was pronounced
finished late last night, and three con
solidated trains, carrying the passen
gers and mail from half a dozen stalled
trains, were wired to leave the Pima
city for Phoenix. The plan is to have
them all detoured over the Santa Fe
cut off to Parker and Los Angeles.
Preparations were made to break
fast a record crowd of hungry passcn
ges here this morning. In the three
trains, will be nearly fifty cars, carry
ing the traffic which has accumulated
on the main line for the past three
days. Unless rapid repairs may be
made on the western line. Southern
Pacific trains will continue to be di

present. Meanwhile, nil schedules of

POWER OF STATE
BODY CONTESTED
AVhether Arizona Commis
sion 1 las Sovereign Power
in Fixing Intra-State
Rates That Compete With
Interstate Tariffs
Whether or not the lumber mills of
northern Arizona are to be permit
ted to ship their products to the big
mining companies and other consu
mers in the southern part of the
state at the rates set by the cor
poration commission, is the question
.set for argument before Examiner
Wood of the Interstate Commerce
commission, January 4. The ' hear
ing will lie held at Los Angeles.
Continuing the struggles to con
trol southern Arizona markets, which
require over 400,i00,Ono feet nf lum
ber annually, representatives of lum
ber and shipping concerns on the
coast promptly filed complaint
against thi new rates when they
became effective last July. I'rior
to that time SUn Pedro shippers en
joyed a tariff on forest products to
consuming points in this state that
practically shut Arizona concerns out
of the southern market. Complaint
is made on the ground that the
new rates are discriminatory to the
coast shippers and below competitive
rates set by the interstate commerce
commission when Arizona was a
territory.
The rates set by the inter
state commerce commission when
that body held the rate-making
power in this state past out of ex
istence as soon as Arizona became
a state. In their place there grew
up a system of rates from coast
terminal points that is said to have
effectually driven the northern mills
out of the field, and left California
shipping interests in control of the
business. A careful investigation of
the situation, with reference to fhe
tariffs from the two sources of sup
ply, caused the corporation commis
sion to issue an order last June
making sweeping reductions in rates
from Flagstaff and Williams to

BRITISH PRESS NOT
ALLOWED TO MENTION
LOSS OF AUDACIOUS
associated press dispatch
LONDON, Dec. 27. The British
press censorate has not yet permitted
the British newspapers, to make any
mention of the loss of the battleship
Audacious. The facts that the Auda
cious was put out of commission by a
mine, or by a German submarine, off
the northern coast of Ireland on Octo
ber 27 and that the White Star steamer
Olympic took off her crew are well
known in all English newspaper offi
ces, however, and are a matter of com
mon report among the public.
The policy of the admiralty In de
clining to have any statement made in
England is dictated by the view that
in the absence of official confirmation
the Germans may think that the report
is another canard which has gained
general credence like the widely spread
and firmly believed story of the pas
sage of a Russian army through Great
Britain to France. American newspa
pers containing the story have seen
sold on the newsstands of the London
hotels, and offered on Fleet street by
the newsboys. This has made the Lon
don papers chafe under what some of
them consider the unnecessary rigors
of thplr censorship. The Daily News

organs of the present government pub-

Here from Iowa
Death came yesterday morning
after years of painful and almost
helpless illness to I. B. Berryhill,
head of the Berryhill company, at
his home, r,20 East Culver street.
Mr. Berryhill was ",0 years of age.
He had never married. His parents
are dead, but he iet survived by a
sister, Mrs. Hooher, who lived with
him, and two brothers, Hugh D.
and Ed. Berryhill. Another brother,
Will Rcrryliill, lives at Fort Dodge.
Iowa. Replying to a telegram an
nouncing the death of his brother,
he said that he would at once leave
for Phoenix. Announcement of the
funeral will be made today.
Mr. Berryhill, an old friend of M.
C. M'Dougall, came to rhoenix in
1 SOS. He was searching for health.
He had resided in Cuba and in Mex
ico and in various other places. Af
ter a residence of two winters here
he decided to make his home and
he formed the Berryhill company,
originally a stationery store, with
which business he had familiarized
himself at his former home, Fort
Dodge. Out of that the present ex
tensive business of the Berryhill
company has grown.
Even then Mr. Berryhill was a
sick man, but no business man in
the city gave closer attention to his
affairs than Mr. Berryhill, to whom
credit must be piven for the re
markable growth and success of it.
He had not been able for the hist

for perhaps an hour or two. Vet.

GOV. GEN. HARRISON
associated press dispatch
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 Governor
General Harrison, reporting to the
state department, minimized the na
tive uprisings in the Philippines, and
said they were "small and unsuc
cessful." Nobody of any influence or stand
ing is concerned. The report stated
that small bodies of Filipinos as-'
sembled at Manila, and Navotas, on
Christmas eve and at Laguna de Bay
last night and attempted to make
trouble.
Forty were arrested and one shot
by a policeman.
Harrison reported everything quiet.
Efforts will be made to arrest the
leaders, the chief of whom is be
lieved to be a man under sentence
of imprisonment for homicide.
Gov. Harrison said he was connect
ed with the campaign of Riearte, who
conducted revolutionary propoganda
from Hong Kong for a number of
years.
"They are. appealing to the most
ignorant classes of the Filipinos."
Administration officials believe the
situation is not serious, but are
watching closely on account of the
Jones bill granting independence to
the natives, which is now pending
in the senate.

LONDON, Dec. 27 Assisted by

rines, seven British naval airmen
made a daring attack on Christmas
on the German naval base at Cux
t.aven at the mouth of the Elbe river.
They dropped bombs on the ships
.Tnd gas works. One aviator has not
returned according to German ac
counts the raid was fruitless. Kn-
terprise of the British navy in at
tempting to "dig out" the German
fleet brought about the battle. By
raid the maneuvering ships avoided
the submarines and Zeppelins retired
under a deadly fire from the cruisers.
All belligerent airmen are active.
A solitary German flew over the
Thames estuary and dropped a single
bomb which fell in a roadway. Ger
man airmen paid a surprise visit to
Nancy and French aviators to Metz,
the British to Brussels and German
airmei to Polish cities. Most of the
allies flights were for the purpose of
reeonnoitering, since on the offensive
in the west, are anxious to know
when and where Germans are mov
ing reinforcements. Except in the
Argonne and Alsace regions, where
the French have made progress, the
battles consisted largely of German
attacks the last two days.
