" WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1920 FREIGH $1 0 1 IB IN I. E. C. HEARING Tariffs on Sugar, Fresh Fruits and Vegetables From California Points To Arizona Terminals are Under Examination Existing freight rates on sugar, ap ples and fresh fruits and vegetables from California producing points to Arizona terminals are undergoing at tack in a hearing before Examiner II. C. Keene of the interstate commerce commission, in the federal court rooms. Three separate petitions are involved. Hearing of evidence supporting the Arizona contention for lower cement rates from California points and El Paso wag concluded yesterday after noon. Efforts to support claims of excessive and discriminatory rates were made by the Arizona corporation commission, representing the state at large, and Roland Johnson, rate expert of the chamber of commerce, repre senting Phoenix. Examiner Keene gave the opposing factions until Oct. 23 to file briefs in - the cement rate action. The case will then go before the interstate commerce commission for final action. With the completion of the cement case, the contesting parties Immediate ly plunged into the fresh fruits and vegetables petition. The petition for lower rates on apples was taken up jointly with the other, because it was so closely related to it. Voluminous statistics were intro duced by the complainants, the Ari zona corporation commission and the Phoenix chamber of commerce, to show that rates from California, Washington, Oregon, Montana and Utah to Arizona terminals were ex cessive on fresh fruits and vegetables and apples. s Mr. Johnson, for the chamber of commerce, introduced a series of nine tariff tables into evidence to back up his claim of excessive and discrimina tory rates to Phoenix. Among other statistics offered was a series of rate sheets comparing earnings per mile within Arizona and other southwestern states on apple and vegetable shipments. These sheets showed that earnings within Arizona surpassed those of any other state of the section, in some instances by as much as 35 to 40 per cent. Figures were also introduced to show a discriminatory rate to Phoenix as compared with points in other states, especially those in Utah, Ne vada and Idaho. Hauls over the Rocky mountains of even greater distance than to Phoenix were favored by a lesser rate than hauls to Phoenix,, where few grades are encountered, it was contended. Attempts to introduce these taritt sheets into evidence were strongly ob jected to by representatives of rail- boot with am A Match of international importance will be waged on the mat at Tally's open-air arena Friday night when Sam Cla.pham will defend his title as light heavyweight champion of England against Pete Saucr of Phoenix, aspi rant to the world's light heavyweight title. Two 4-round boxing matches are also included on the program, which will get under way at 8:30 o'clock. A victory for Sauer on this occasion will mean more to him in the profes sional wrestling world than anything he has heretofore accomplished. His victory in the first meeting between the pair is looked upon in wrestling1 circles as more or less of a fluke, se cured by a chance hold that brought injury to the English tit'eho'der-and not really based upon merit. Fans and promoters alike hope to see a match to the finish on this occa sion, with the winner securing two falls. Of course, injuries are likely in any contest of this nature which will make one or the,other of the con testants unfit for further action. Both wrestlers have expressed the desire to see a decision based upon merit and a victory due to an injury ca.n hardly be called one of merit. Clapham is recognized throughout the country as one of the greatest men of his weight in the game. His long experience makes . him a da-ngerous opponent all the time and his knowledge of the different styles of grappling will keep, a less experienced man in hot water every minute. Sam was a training partner in the iate Frank Gotch stables when the Iowan was holder of the world's heavy weight honors. Sam considers Gotch the greatest wrestler of all times and his experience with the master was an invaluable asset to him. Later, Clap ham helped train George Hacken schmidt for his titular match with Gotch. Sam has aiao worked ""with Mahmout, Zbyszko, Stecher, Caddock and other stars of the mat game. His met work was considered of sufficient calibre by eastern sport critics to war rant a match with Earl Caddock, at the time he was world's champion for the highest honors. Clapham was de feated in that match after one hour and 28 minutes of wrestling. Leo Alexander, former world's light heavyweight champion, is also num bered among Clapham's victims. Sam downed the ex-king of the 175-pound- ers in less than 30 minutes of hard work, the match being described by sport writers as one of the fastest and most gruelling ever waged in Chicago. Sauer doesn't believe that Clapham's performances will be of any value to him when he gets in the ring Friday night, however. "Past achievements mean nothing in my young life," Pete declared last roads Involved. Objections were over ruled by Examiner Keene, however. A special night session was held last night in an effort to complete the cases by this afternoon. The sugar rate case will next be considered, which will end the hearings in this city. PIONEER 'OF STATE -ANSWERS LAST GALL The board of state institutions has been notified that Richard McArdle has died at the Pioneers Home at Prescott. McArdle was more than 70 years of age at the time of his death, and was admitted to the home from Cochise county. He had come into Arizona in 1876, and has spent almost all his active years in prospecting. He lived in Tombstone when that camp was at the hey-day of its prosperity and fame, and at Charlestpn, a few miles from Tombstone. Charleston will be re membered as the "Wolfville," of the Alfred Henry Lewis stories, "Wolf ville Days." McArdle also spent much time in the Huaohuca mountains, Co chise county, and in prospecting along the Colorado rive. He had also .worked near Phoenix when he first came to the state. Funeral arrangements have not been made. evening. "True, . Clapham's record is onejof which he might well be proud. but I'm not wrestling his record; I'm wrestling him. He'll have to live up to his advance reputation and then some if he hopes to emerge a victor Friday night." Although a record breaking advance sale "has been recorded, there are plenty of choice seats still to be had. Tickets 'will remain on sale at the down town agency, the Doyle Cigar store, until 7 o'clock Friday night, at which hour the doors of the arena will open. Tickets will go on sale at the arena at that hour. Brldgeton, N. J., conducts public spanking for unruly boys in a back room of thetown hall.
