THE TELEPHONE WAR,
A unloading Circular of the COM
pany.


pany.
A circular is being sent out to citizens by
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company calling attention to the conve-
njence which the telephone is in a private
house and adding that every one can have
a long distance telephone in his house
which can be used every minute in the
year for s45 per year. Upon inquiry at the
office it was learned that this rate Of $i5
for a long distance telephone in private
houses is for a service of COO calls per
year. when there are three subscribers on
the same wire, but if there should be two
subscribers on the same line then the rate
is S54, and if the line Is an exclusive one
the rate is $3.50 a year. There is proper
tionate increase in the rate according 70
the number of messages sent over the wires,
and for an unlimited service the company
charges $125 for the use of telephone in
private residence.
A bill was introduced in the house of
delegates Of the Maryland legislature yes
terday which provides that no telephone
company shall charge in Maryland re-
ceve rental for the use at all hours of
the day and night for telephone service
sum exceeding 81 per month for one tele-
phone instrument, located within two miles
of the central telephone exchange, and 81
per instrument for every additional mile
of distance from the exchange
1t further provides that where two or
more telephone instruments rented by
one company, corporation or individual the
rent for each of such instruments shall not
exceed 50 a month within radius Of two
miles CT the exchange and 81 per instru-
ment per month for each additional mile
Of distance from the exchange. To get the
advantage Of these rates subscribers will
have to rent instruments for at least six
months. A fine of 500 Is prescribed for
any violation of the law.
AS is we'll known the same company
which controls the telephone service in
this District also furnished the service i'm
Maryland and this bill is aimed directly
at the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company.
One of the phases of the agitation against
the charges and methods of the telephone
company is the introduction in Congress of
bills providing for the organization of new
companies. which are to be authorized to
extend and to operate telephone systems in
the District of Columbia. One bill offers
to supply a full metallic circuit service,
with long distance apparatus. and an I'M
restricted use Of Its telephones for rental
of 81 for offices and 50 for dwellings per
month within radius of one mile. with an
additional charge of 81 per month per mile
In excess Of the one mile radius of the
central office.

ARCHITECTS HEADQUARTERS.
The American Institute to Be Per.
manently LOcated I'm This CITY

The American Institute to BE Per-
manently Located in This City.
At the recent ar nual meeting Of the
American Institute of Architects national
body, composed Of representative members
of the profession throughout the country.
1t was decided to hold the next annual
meeting in this city. In addition Il COM
mittee was appointed, of which Mr.. Robert
Stead of this city is a member, to secure
a suitable place here for use as the head
quarters of the institute.
This is believed to be the final step in
the settlement of question which has
been, agitated for number Of years, name
ly the selection of permanent headquarters
years past the institute has been meeting
in New York, where a room has been main
tanned as sort Of headquarters. An effort
was made some time ago to locate the in
stitute permanently in Chicago, but there
was opposition to that, and now 1T Is be-
lieved that definite action has been taken
to establish the headquarters in this city.
Nothing has been done thus far to secure
q place, as the sessions of the institute
ended only the latter part of last week in
New York city, but 1t is understood that
the committee appointed will select build
ing in this city, where the library of the
institute can be placed and where rooms
can be opened which will serve as head
quarters for visiting architects. Hereafter,
It is understood, the annual meetings of
the organization will be held in this city.

Nomenclature of Streets.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 the Eultor OF Inc Evening Guar.
In all that has been said regarding plans
for improving the nomenclature of our
streets / have seen no reference to a sys-
tenn of numbered streets and numbered
avenues, although it would appear to be
the one of greatest number of advantages
and fewest objections. Perhaps the north
ard south streets ought, in preference, be
given the designation of avenues. We
should then have 7th avenue, 14th avenue,
10th avenue. ETC., and least and wesD 10th
street, 18th street, etc. With usage 1t
would become as clear as in upper New
York, where the mere mention of an inter-
section of a numbered street and avenue
indicates exactly where it is, as, for in
stance, 9Th avenue and AID street, or 1th
avenue and 1S0th street. All the present
avenues would retain their present names,
and new names could be given to all new
diagonal streets and streets midway in
blocks, or in special cases, such as .'Execu-
tive avenue" or Park highway" or East
Capitol street." but the fewer of these the
better. think that only very short time
would be required completely to justify
such a change as this, while the other
plans that have been proposed seem to me
to have very serious objections.

\ GERMAN VIEW.

European sympathy in the present
war between the United States and
Spain inclines to the latter country.
but the prominent thinkers now and
again express different views. Dr.
Barth, member of the German Reich
stag, has come out in the Nation with
very decided anti-Spanish proclivities.
In the course of long article the doe
tor says:
THE colonial maladministration of
the Spaniards is centuries old; the
sorrows which the Spanish motherland
has laid upon her colonies transcends
in needless cruelty and brutal eXtor-
ton the colonial excuses of all other
lands. Cuba, the Pearl of the Antilles,
has been specially afflicted with Span
ish misrule. Historically Spain long
ago forfeited all claim to this colony.
To certain degree, indeed, she is
responsible for the unfitness of Cuba
to assume the position of an indie
pendent state after she is separated
from Spain. Over Cuba the United
States will exercise some form of
guardianship-that is as certain as it
is that Spain will lose the Island alto
gether. In the process of the worlds
historical development the United
States assumes the role of the brusuue
performer of necessary amputaton.
In this war between formal right and
historical necessity every respectable
political consideration tends to inspire
the wish that the imperative operation
on the body polite of Spain may be
performed with vigor and dispatch.
The United States represent the
sounder culture and an Astounding vi
tally, while Spain presents a picture
of decline and spiritual bondage. The
interest of the German people in the
tate of Spain is limited to a sort of
aesthetic sympathy, and the German
imperial government acts in accord
with the public opinion of Germany
when it keeps within the bounds OF
strict neutrality and scrupulously alb
stains from putting any obstacle in
the path of Americans"
