going to get the best possible service
for an absurdly cheap price. which isn't
true.
Then. too they talk of using the very
best and latest devices, such as allow
ing two conversations at the same time
on one telephone. That is simply tele-
phonic impossibility i'm the present state
OF the business
The promise OF independent bell calls
may also illustrate the character OF the
service they intend TO give. We abandon-
ed that more than two years ago, because
OF the trouble IL gave. Now we get far
better service on the semi-selected or
ringing one-half OF the line simultaneous
ly. We are using the most up-to-date APP
pliances wherever possible. ~
This talk of cheap service isn't all that
II may appear TO the INITIATED What has
been the experience OF other cities which
have yielded 10 the siren voice OF the pro-
fessional promoter and allowed two tele-
phone systems under the specious plea
that competition meant a permanent re-
duction OF rates? Why. just the opposite
OF what has been promised
For instance, i'm Baltimore. Grand
Rapids. Birmingham Saginaw. Superior
and other cities. from 20 10 3S per cent OF
all subscribers have been forced 10 du-
plicate their telephone service at largely
increased cost
Now look at the rates Here are some'
instances in which the rates that the in
dependents originally established in or
der TO get permission 20 enter had TO be
raised i'm order to do a profitable business:
St Louis 20 10 33 per cent; Cleveland. %
10 30 per cent; Pittsburg, 80 to 81 per cent;
Toledo, IS TO % per cent. There are lots OF
others
Because OF the existence OF such fac
tors. no less an authority than the eusi-
neering Record scored the Independents
in an article on May 26 last under the
caption Telephone Green Goods
"Of course. we don't know just what
system they intend 10 introduce here II
they are allowed a franchise: but there
are only two or three that they could use
The most generally used OF these are the
Stromberg- Carlson and the Kellogg
Neither OF these, in my opinion, is equal
TO ours"

FINE RECORD
Of PATROLMAN
FREQ. {. REED

Last night Patrolman Frederick T. Reed
swung his night stick as jauntily as an.
unassuming cop ever ventures to. For 81
years, to a day, he had been night OFF,
Ger and never once asked for day Job,
the champion of the department in this
respect, and his record of 81 years OF con-
tinuous night duty as a patrolman has
never been even approached.
The famous No beat OF the Fourth
station has known him for over IS years
and that turbulent section holds him in
high respect.
He has made many hard arrest and
figured in some sensational fights, but
never was laid OUT or injured 10 the
extent that he had TO lose any time.
Mr.. Reed was appointed to the force in
1875 under Chief OF Police John NJ
Knowles, when Mayor Doyle was the
real head Of the force. He was assigned
TO the Central station In November,
1877, was transferred to the Fourth stay
ing there until 1855. when he was shifted
back to the Central In February, 1889
he was transferred TO the Second His
next shift was in 1892 to the Fourth
where he stayed till 1900 when he was
transferred 10 the Fifth. In April OF 1909
he secured his old beat in the Italian
quarter Of the Fourth station district,
which he Is now patrolling
He resides at Is Diamond street. is %
years old and has grand children This
record is surely a nompariel and worthy
OF recognition.
As an expert on the growth of the
italian settlement on Federal Hill. he
saws that not until 1885 did II assume any
size. In 1882 there were. only three or four
houses inhabited by ItaNans.

.BEVERIDCE HITS
AT CHILD LABOR
SAYS HE WILL INTRODUCE BILL
ON FIRST DAY OF THE
NEXT SESSION
Proposes to Require That All Rail-
roads Refuse Products of Mills and
Factories and Mines Where Children
Are Employed.

afsiclmond, Ind, l!ov. 15.--In All adj
dress to the Young Mems Christian
associations Of Indiana and Ohio Sun
day, Senator Albert j. Beveridge
stated that upon the opening day OF
the coming session he will introduce
bill prohibiting the labor of children
throughout the country, and a bill to
make more rigid the present meat in
spection law.
He said the child labor bill will pro-
vide that no railroad, steamship,
steamboat, or other carrier of inter
state commerce shall transport or ac-
cept for transportation the product OF
any factory or mine that employs
children under Ia years of age.
Shippers Affidavits Required.
The bill, he said, would provide that
every carrier of interstate commerce
shall require an affidavit from every
factory or mine owner shipping its
product that it does not employ chill
dren under IA years of age, the form
of the affidavit to be subscribed by the
department of commerce and labor or
the interstate commerce commission
with heavy penalties. both civil and
criminal, for violation of the law.
There is no other way, Mr.. Bever.
idge said, to reach this growing evil.
| A federal statute cannot be passed di
rectly controlling the factories and
mines in the states. That is the prov
ince of the states. But congress has
absolute power over the railroads
boats, ships and other agencies of in.
terstate commerce, and unlimited
power under the constitution to pro
vide that they shall not carry the pro
ducts os factories and mines which
employ children.
Changes in Meat Laws
The bill to amend the meat inspec
tion law will require the putting of the
date of inspections on every can OF
meat product and the packers to pay
the cost of inspection.
These two provisions, he said, are
demanded by the people, and agitation
for them will not cease until they be.

FoRTY-oNE PASSENGERS AND
MEMBERS OF THE CREW OF
DIX ARE MISSING
is LEAVING SEATTLE
Steamship Jeanle and Dix Come TO-
gether on Sound as Smooth as Mill
Pond Becoming Panic
Stricken Jump Into tho Water.

Seattle, Wash. Nov. 19.--The steam
er Dix bound from Seattle to Port
Blakely with passengers, sank two
miles north Of Alli Point shortly after
- O'Clock last night, after having col
lided with the steamship Jeanie of the
Alaska Coast company. Forty-one pas
sengers and members of the crew OF
the Dix are missing and thirty-nine
were saved The Dix is total wreck,
while the Jeanie is not injured. Cap
.ain Lennon of the Dix is saved.
The collision occurred while the
sound was almost as smooth as a mill
pond, after the boats had been steam
Ing within sight of each other for, a
quarter of an hour The Jeanie was
backing when she collided with the
Dix and the impact was very slight.
The Dix was struck abaft her amid
ships on the starboard side. She list
ed heavily to port for a brief period,
rightad herself, then sank stern first.
There was hardly time to launch the
life RATS or boats before she was al
most entirely submerged
Passengers Jump Into Water.
The passengers jumped from the
deck into the water. The women
screamed and officers and men called
orders that could hardly be heard
above the din. Passengers who could
swim made their way to the sides of
the Jeanie, where they were dragged
aboard. The Jeanie was not moved
until after all who had reached her
had been hauled aboard, then she
cruised about, picking up several who
managed to stay above water.
No Passengers on the Jeanie.
1t was after 10 o'clock before the
Jeanie left the scene of the catastro-
phe and steamed to Seattle with the
tlirty-nine survivors. There were no
passengers on the Jeanie.
B When within about two miles north
Of Alki Point, the two steamers were
within a short distance of each other,
steanling along converging lines, the
captain of the Jeanie SAYS he signalled
for the Dix to pass him, and his whis-
tie was answered The Dix was then
within speaking distance of the Jeanie
and 10 the port of her. Suddenly Mate
Dennison who was at the wheel of the
Dix. put her hard over to starboard as
If to cross in front of the other vessel.
Captain Masten of the Jeanie, who was
= Oh LIE pIluSG, sSdW lilC dSCtdeAI 1liluil-
nent and called out a warning to the
man at the wheel Masten gave the
signal to reverse the engines of his
vessel, slowly backing away when the
two came together. There was but a
slight crash.
Some Have Little Chance.
For a minute all was still; then a
panic followed When the Dix started
to sink stern first, the passengers and
members of the crew leaped into the
sound. Some of the passengers were
huddled together in groups on the
deck, while others knelt in prayer
Women who had little chance for their
lives stayed with Nthe sinking steamer
and were drowned as in trap.
