TELEPHONE RATES.
What is to Be Done in the City of New
York.

Hello calls are to be cheaper in New York
and the revenue to the company will not be
any less. Why cannot Westinghouse be
afforded the same relief? This was the
query of a prominent local business man
and the answer. But that appears to be
another matter Certain it is he con-
tinued. I'VE pay more than enough for a
very inadequate cervice and something
should be DONE"
According to advices in New York Union
N. Bethel, vice president and general man
ager of the New York Telephone Company,
is squarely on record with this promise:
1.-The schedule of toll rates between the
several telephone districts in New York city
has also been revised along the lines dis
cussed. This revision will take eff
feet at the first of the month following the
next issue of the telephone directory
AS the next issue of that book should be
on April l. it may be expected that the re-
vised tolls between the several telephone
districts will go into effect on May l. 1t
was explained at Mr.. Bethelfs office yes
terday that Manhattan forms one tele-
phone district" Richmond borough an
other, Brooklyn another and so on. This
might be interpreted as meaning that re-
duction of tolls might be looked forward
to between Manhattan and Brooklyn or
between either of those boroughs and points
in Queens borough.
There is considerable doubt expressed by
subscribers in Brooklyn and Queens whether
they are to share the rum that was shaken
from the telephone company tree

A Wonderful Touch Typewriter.

An interesting and instructive demon
stration of touch typewriting was given
by Miss Marian Reichardt a the Temple
School of Shorthand and Typewriting, 1925
New York avenue, on Tuesday night, in
which Miss Reichardt copied matter from
a Congressional Record at the rate of
ninety-two words minute, turning out alb
solutely clean, perfect copy.
Miss Rechardt is making a tour of the
business schools of the country in the
interest of the Smith Premier Typewriter
Company. Unlike most of the famous type
writer operators, Miss Reichardt's work is
free from error, and at no times does she
sacrifice this accuracy for speed Her abil-
ity to write figures, usually such a weak
point with operators, was truly marvel
Gus, and her demonstration was withal
the best yet seen in Washington.
The Smith Premier Typewriter Company
desires to announce that Miss Rechardt
will give a demonstration of touch type
writing at their Office, $40 18th street,
on Friday afternoon, March "a, from 4:30
to pm, to which the public is cordially
invited She uses a Smith Premier type
writer fitted with blank keyboard. 1t

Mr.. Charles ]. Bell, whose guest he was
Mr.. Vanderlip's remarks were along
the line of the importance and value of a
technical training not only for CONNER
cial business, but for financial one. The
commercial schools in Germany, he
thought, are doing much toward building
up the trade Of that country, and it is his
opinion that some similar line of training
must be adopted by the universities in
this country if it is hoped to compete sue
cessfully with Germany, whom he spoke
of as our greatest rival.
He said the problem that most perpleXed
the heads of great concerns is finding men
thoroughly trained to take charge OF the
management of large combinations.
Addresses were also made by Mr. George

HAS no INSTRUCTIONS.


A statement emanating from this city
was published i'm Baltimore this morning
to the effect that recent developments in
the case of the federal government against
former StatexiSenator George e. Green of
New York, who Was indicted with George
w. Beavers for fraud in connection with
the Post Once department irregularities,
lead the prosecutisn officers to believe that
trial is at hast In sight.
Mr.. Morgan II. Beach, United States at
torney for the District of Columbia, when
his attention was called to the statement,
explained that hes has received no instruc-
tons in regard teEthe case.
The statement Teferred to embraced the
following:
After the decision of Judge George w.
Ray OF the northern district of New York,
that Green was to be removed for trial to
the District of Columbia, his attorneys gave
notice that an appeal would be taken to
the Supreme Court. The proper time for
this appeal will soon expire. If the appeal
| Is taken the early decision of the federal
supreme Court is expected. Judge Ray de-
layed the case for over year, and 1t was
only after the strongest pressure was
brought by officials of the Department of
Justice that he finally rendered decision.
THE week before last petition was
drawn up at the department here for an
immediate decision in the case, recitfng the
facts of the delay and the evident attempt
to prevent justice from taking it's course.
This was sent to District Attorney Curtis,
at Binghamton for him to sign and present
to Judge Ray. He deferred action and en-
tered into correspondence with the depart
ment. Two kilograms were then sent to
MIN from Washington ordering him to sign
at once and present without further delay.
This he did The petition went to Judge
Ray on Saturday, March II, and on Mon
day, March 10. Judge Ray rendered his de-
cision."
1t is explained that should Beavers fol-
low the course pursued by Green the trial
of the case could be delayed for at least a
year, SO that there does not appear to be
any prospect that Beavers and Green will
be placed on trial at the city hall in the
near future

Boiler Explosion Discussed.

The explosion of the boiler, with terrible
results, in the shoe factory at Brockton,
Mass, several days ago, was given serious
consideration at a meeting Of the National
Association of Stationary Engineers, No 1.
of the District of Columbia, last night at
the hall of the organization, 18th street and
Pennsylvania avenue northwest. The meet
ing was largely attended by prominent
steam engineers.
After the initiation of a candidate for
membership and the transaction of routine
business the Brockton boiler explosion was
taken up by the meeting.
Great sympathy was expressed for the
the families of those who lost their lives
in this deplorable accident. Several distirt-
guished engineers expressed their opinions
upon the cause Of the explosion, and no
direct conclusion was reached. The divided
opinion was that the boiler had been
cracked by frost and that the water had
been allowed to get too low, which made an
over-strain and caused the explosion.
