Telephone franchises engrossed the
attention Of the council committee on
ordinances last night, and after some
interesting sparring. the three applica-
tons. coupled with suggestions by the
city solicitor, were referred to council
without recommendation. The COM
panles are the Home Construction
Federal and Citizens.
The members Of the committee pres
emit were Chairman Mccormick
Bachman, Klndelberger, Watson
Schmidt and Williams. The telephone
men on deck were: s. o. Boyce, attor-
new for the Home Construction; ]. j.
coniff, attorney, and Capt. A. A.
FranzheIm, for the Federal; John Ar
benz IT,. attorney, and H. C. Arbenz,
for the Citizens. The interests Of the
Central District and Printing Tele-
graph, popularity known as the Bel,
were looked after by Attorney Alfred
Caldwell.
The first proceeding was the reading
by Clerk Worls OF the report OF CITY
1 EOIiClLOF NEbplkke WHICH, obaFk@A 1885, 49,
Home Constructions ordinance was
the same as the Nationals. except that
a bonus Of $1,000 was offered to the
cIty. and a difference in the prices OF
Iphones; the Federal differed from the
National in rental charges and the
period Of time allowed for construction
Of Its line: the Citizens contained some
Of the provisions IN all three, but 1t
asked for n franchise limited to thirty
wears. The city solicitor accompanied
his report with a draft OF a form OF Or
dlnance he thought advisable. ana II
contained provisions by which the
franchise granted should be limited TO
thirty years, that the city should get
thirty phones free, the system TO De
operated in two years after the grant
OF the franchise, that the city should
get s per cent OF the gross receipts In
case the underground system was ever
transferred to another telephone COM
pany, and many other thoughtful sug-
gestions along the line Of protection to
the city.
stOrm-King Kindslbsrger.
The report was received and filed,
and Mr.. Kindelberger's motion deferr-
ing action by the committee on the
three ordinances for two weeks opened
up storm.
1t was pointed out by Messrs. Coniff,
Boyce and Arbenz, speaking for their
respective companies, that since the
Nationals ordinance is now before
council and would be up for passage
In the meantime, 1t would be unfair TO
shut them out from the same privilege.
Incidentally. each representative re-
lated the chief claims for a franchise
by his company.
Mr.. Kindelberger intlmated that the
Bell was back OF one or more OF the
new concerns, which was denied by
Messrs Boyce and H. C. Arbenz,
Then Mr.. Alfred Caldwell, in an eff
fectlvc address, said II the Bell was in
tere5ted In anothe. company he had
yet to hear OF 1t. Proceeding. Mr..
Caldwell suggested that II council In
tended granting another telephone
franchise It should advertise the fact
all over the country, and Mr.. Caldwell
was sure the city treasury would get
sun in excess OF the $1,000 offered

There is an ethical side of Mr.. Hanna's
political methods which the public might
study to It's profit. Nothing could be
surer than the final destruction of our
present system OF government If such
methods are persisted in. When sentiment
is eliminated from the political strifes
the administration OF the government will
be in the hands OF the trusts and moaopo-
lies, nor Will they forget to strengthen
their hold upon the government by the
necessary legislation and a satisfactory
personnel OF the courts.
III may be said without fear OF contra.
diction that Mr.. Hanna's plan to conduo,
campaigns on strictly business principles
which he introduced in 1896, made IL nos

THE STORY OF HIS ABIDE CAMP


The gallant General Lawton, than whom
there was no grander type OF the Ameri-
can soldier, the country has been led to
believe. fell at San Mateo while recklessly
exposing himself to the enemy's fire. Cap
tain Robert X. sewell, aid-de-camp to
General Lawton and detailed as escort
to the body OF the dead general from
Manila to its anal repose in Arlington,
in an interview accorded Philadelphia
Ledger representative tells the true story
of how the splendid soldier lost his life,
az follows:
our troops were drawn up along tho sau
Mateo river, opposite the cntrenChed Fit
pinos, in front of tho town of San Mateo
General Lawton had ordered our men Ia
concentrate at that place, and, on the nlghl

stream, aud the men were stretched along
the low lying ground.

To this story Captain Sewell adds:
General Lawton, contrary to rep6rt vas A
