A rELEPHoNE INVENTION.
A Device to Save Central From Saying
Talking Now

Salina, Kan. March 31--Clarence
Anderson and William Hegstrom of
Lindsborg have invented a selective
lockout system for use by telephone
companies on party lines, which will
probably net them fortune
The trouble experienced by rural
telephone lines has ever been the pub
licity of the service. as the conversa-
ton between any two parties on the
line was the property of everyone on
the line who cared to listen. The only
successful way to prevent this diff
Guilty, up to this time has been the
double wire system, and this plan was
so expensive that telephone companies
could not afford to put the plan in
operation.
BY this simple device, for which
these two young men have applied for
a patent. the central may connect any
two phones on a party line, and COM
pletely cut off every other phone on
that line. An attachment to the house
phone has a small indicator which
tells the patron whether or not the
line is busy. When Central connects
two phones on the line, the indicator
Immediately shows the word busy
and when the phones are disconnect-
ed the word drops back again and the
indicator is left clear. During the use
of the line by any two phones, it be-
comes impossible for any patron to
butt in even with a ring, which is
so annoying to central and to the par
ties talking under the present system
of handling party lines.

SEWER CAVED IN.
VIM Hatcher Caught in the Ditch and
Badly Hurt.

VIM. Hatcher, colored, an employe on
the Fifth ward sewer, was badly hurt
at ten o'clock this morning by cave
in of the sewer on Fifteenth street be-
tween Quincy and Monroe streets.
The injured man was Immediately re-
moved to Kieth's hospital where ne is
reported as resting easily. His injuries
appear to be confined largely to those of
an internal nature though one shoulder
was dislocated.
Hatcher was working in the complet-
ed sewer and erecting wooden braejng
to hold up the earth work when his at
tention was attracted by the noise Of
the falling dirt. He irnmedia tely start
ed to run and attempted to Chamber out
of the sewer by means of the erected
bracing. He succeeded in getting part
way up when the great mass of dirt
thundered down upon him bearing him
down and completely burying him from
view. The rest of the Workrnen hurried
to the rescue and after digging Is min
utes succeeded in releasing him from
the mass of earth work. A call was
then sent in for a physician and he was
removed to the hospital.
Hatcher was working by himself. the
rest of the laborers being removed some
distance away, consequently he was the
only man endangered by the cave in
which extended over a distance of some
25 feet. The sewer at that point is II
feet deep.
Hatcher is about % years ofd, single
and lives on the w. S. Kale place.

PEACE COMMITTEE
UNDER ORGANIZATION By BARON
DE CONSTANT
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS, June II, 1905.
. Baron d Estourneiles de Constant in an
interview this week explained the object OF
the peace committee he Is organizing. The
daily growth Of military burdens. he says
and the lessons in modern war, the cost
and dangers of which are increasing to an
awful extent. are beginning to fill govern
ments' as we'll as peoples with sincere
wish for permanent peace. Peace. however.
cannot be permanent unless well-consid-
cred organization exists among the chief
parties concerned, and 1t is such an organf-
"a tion that the committee Is aiming at. Mu-
tual interests and mutual dangers unite the
great powers even without any effort Of
their own.
Each one feels that 1t exhausts itself in
unfruitful hostilities. whereas. united, they
would not only be strong and respected but
would enjoy greater prosperity. Two ma
lions, he says. oppose such organizations as
he suggests. namely France and Germany
He proposes. therefore. that both countries
should vie for the palm. and by means Of
mutual concessions seek to save the future
without violating esteem for the past.
He concludes: May those Germans who
are animated with good will to accomplish
such an aim offer hand to Frenchmen
animated with similar feelings. Let them
together search for the means Of helping
each other, and the good relations Of indi-
vidual men will gradually produce an ap-
proachment of the nations"
