DEPARTMENT TELEPHONES.
Switchboard to Be Installed Which
Will Double the Service.

The subcommittee on telephone service
consisting of H. c. Gauss, w. J. Lee and
George McCabe. appointed by the Keen
commission in conjunction with the officials
of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, have apparently solved the prob
lem of providing an ideal telephone service
Cor the government departments
While approaching that the cost of the
service Is important, 1t can be readily I'M
derstood that the quality of the telephone
service, especially for government work Is
the supreme consideration. AT less cost, the
report provides for extending the present
Bell telephone service by the installation
OF q central switchboard to which the va
rious government swftchboards are to be
connected by so-cailed tie-lines. As the de-
partment switchboards are also connected
with the telephone company's central Off
ces by trunk lines, the government has
really q double service.
Under the proposed system 1t will be pos
sible to send messages through the tele-
phone company's central office system to
any telephone In Washington or to any
point covered by the long distance lines OF
the telephone company, and 1t Will also be
possible to send messages from the same
telephone to any other department tele-
phone through the governments new
switchboard by utilizing the proposed tic
lines
This extension and modification of the
present service is along the lines suggested
BY former Secretary Morton. in his COM
prehensiye report of last year on the gov
eminent telephone service.
If the report is approved, the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company's engi-
neers will at once start the work of design
ing and installing the proposed new switch
board and apparatus.
The furnishing of telephone service to the
government is a difficult proposition from
the fact that the government Is CONFUSED
OF so many widely separated departments.
wnich require prompt service to all tele-
phones In Washington and at the same
time require especially prompt service to
the other Departments

any services rendered In relation to any
proceeding in which the United States is in
terested Burton is charged with accepting
a fee of $500 a month from the Rialto Grain
and Securities Company of st. Louis for
representing that company before the Post
OH1ce Department in a proceeding charging
that company with the fraudulent use of
the mails.
The government urged that Mr. Burton
had entered upon the discharge of his serv-
Ice as counsel with full knowledge of the
facts, while 1t was contended on behalf of
Mr.. Burton that he had not In the begin
ming been the representative of the Rialto
Company, but the personal attorney for
Major Dennis of that company in the mat
ter of a personal prosecution against him.
Mr.. Robb contended that the pending
case presents much stronger case against
the defendant than that before the court
on the former appeal, and derives more de-
cided affirmation of it's sufficiency" Ref
erence was made to the new testimony, es-
pecially that given by Charles II. Brooks
Mr.. Burton S attorney did not fail to take
cognizance of Brooks attitude, claiming 1t
to be due to his unfriendly personal and
business relations with Major Dennis
Buttons Defense
Mr.. Burton took especial exception to the
constitutionality OF the law under which he
is prosecuted. Mr.. Burtons defense was
summed up in the following language:
We maintain. first, that the present In
dictment does not state case in which the
United States is interested within the
meaning of section 1852, and, second that
even IL interested, nevertheless the proof
shows that Burton neither agreed to rem
der nor did render any service in respect
to any matter IN which in any view the
United States had any interest, direct or
indirect

fore Department.

Argument was begun today In the SUI
preme Court of the United States in the
case OF the United States against United
States Senator Burton of Kansas. The gov
eminent was represented by Assistant At
torney General Charles II. Rob- and Mr..
Burton by long array OF counsel consist
ing of ex-Judge John f. Dillon Bailey p.
Waggoner. Henry Hubbard. W. II. R0ssing-
ten, w. Knox Haynes, F. W. Lehman and
w z. HACKNEY.
The charge against Senator Burton in this
case is the same as that preferred when the
case was before the court last year except
that in this case the receipt of money by
Burton in st. Louis is alleged. The reversal
of the decision of the circuit court on the
former appeal WAS based upon the failure
to show that fact, the testimony as then
adduced only showing that he was paid for
in this city
