BALTIMORE WINS AGAIN.

The American Whist Club Team Fails
to Win the A. W. l.. Trophy.
The American Whist Club of Boston sent
their representative team all the way to
Baltimore to make a try for the American
Whist League trophy Saturday night. but
they fell short just five tricks on forty
eight boards. The victory for the Balti-
more Whist Club proved very valuable, as
it placed the club tie-eight wins each-with
the Boston Whist Club for the much covet-
ed trophy. The American four was made
up of the following players: Ward, Messer
Bouve and Becker. The Baltimore team
was: Thomas, McCay, Herman and Will
liams. The American team is conceded to
be one OF the strongest in the country, but
at present all teams look alike to the Bal
timoreans
The next club in line is the New York,
but 1t is thought 1t may drop out, and in
that case the Walbrooks of Baltimore will
try to take fall out of the sanguine Bal
timore club team Next Saturday will be the
last day upon which the trophy can be
played for in the east, as February it will
be turned over to the western contingent of
the American Whist League, and it is ex-
pected that the clubs representing Cincin-
natl, Cleveland, Chicago MINNEAPOLIS and
ST. raul Will nave many close and exciting
contests during the next two months All
these cities have strong teams but the dis
lance between the eastern and western
cites prevents games being arranged ex-
cept upon the annual assembling of the
league during the summer. Should the
trophy remain at Cleveland or Cincinnati
any length of time, it was reported at the
match Saturday night, that both the Balti-
more and Boston teams would make the
journey to these cities ard try to bring the
trophy back east.

Telephone Legislation.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
L notice that the telephone company,
like the gas company, demonstrate by fig
ures that they cannot possibly furnish the
service at the prices fixed by Congress
without great loss. amounting, as they
claim, to confiscation.
So the gas company at the time of the
investigation produced figures to show that
gas could not be sold for 81 without q
less; that the actual cost of making gas
was about 50 cents per 1000, notwithstand-
ing the fact that a private company had
been making and selling it to the city in
Philadelphia for the previous five years for
81 cents per 1000!
And only recently / noticed in the press
the announcement of a suit by F. c. Jones
VS.. the Bay State Gas Company, based
solely upon the ground that would-be Sena-
tor Addicks of the Bay State Company had
contracted to pay 80 cents per 1000 for gas
to be made for the Bay State Company by
the New England Gas and Coke Company,
and which price was asserted to be excess
sive and fraudulent.
Notwithstanding the company here now
sells gas for s1.10. / notice that the gas
stock instead of depreciating as 1t should
If their statements were true. has actually
appreciated-the shares of $40 par value
selling at from 500. so to SO,
These and numerous other facts which
might ne Sldleu SNOW now utterly uITe-
liable and untrue the statements presented
by these companies are.
While it may be true that figures do
not lie, when honestly used, it is equally
true that in the hands of interested parties
they can be made to tell anything but the
truth in fact, whatever the manipulators
may desire.
A very simple and effective remedy is in
the power of Congress. Let Congress au
thorlZe another company to do business in
the District, and at the same time prohibit
any combination with or sale to the old
company, and the matter will at once ad
just itself and the public get a much
cheaper telephone service. Another result
will be that double the number of citizens
Will use the telephone. What competition
will do IS well illustrated by the COMPETE
uon between the two electric light COM
panies. The old company received 10 cents
per 1000 watt hours for lighting the Dis
trict building, but now Under the COMPETE
cents-Just one-siXth OF, what they charged
toni . II
either fix the rates at a much lower rate
than formerly changed, and compel COM
pllance by heavy penalties or forfeiture
of the right of the company to do business
here, or it should charter a competing
company.
The past and present condition of the
telephone service in the national capital is
an outrage on the public and a disgrace to
Congress, which alone has the power of
control. lr w C. DODGE
