A mayor should be chosen who will
study the public welfare, giving a fair

activities lin which they are engaged.
The best government and advance

IS HOME COMPANY
BEHIND THE BILL?
Bill introduced in House Per-
hitting the Merging of
Phone Companies.
INDEPENDENTS MEASURE
PUT UP PLEA THAT UNDER LAWS
OF STATE THEY 90 NOT HAVE
THE SAME ADVANTAGE AZ THE
BELL COMPANY.
INDEPENDENTS MEASURE
Palladium Bureau,

indianapolis Feb. Is.
There was a big wrangle in the
house yesterday. over a telephone bill
that was introduced in the house by
Representative Wells. of Allen coun-
ty. It is a bill to enable telephone
companies organized under the laws
of the state of Indiana to acquire and
own either by purchase, lease or 9TH
erwise any other telephone compan-
les in the state. 1t also gives them
the right to operate the acquired COM
panies OF wipe them out of existence.
At first it was believed that the bill
was a scheme on the part of the Gen.
trail Union Telephone company to get
legislation that would enable it to
obtain a monopoly in the state. Yes
terday when the bill was called out
on the floor this point was raised and
a dispute followed.
Independents Believed II.
1t was explained that the Central
that it has under it's charter the right
to acquire and own or operate any
other company, and it was stated
that it did not need this bill in order
to buy out and hold other companies
in this state. Then it was disclosed
that the Independent telephone COM
'panies of b state were behind the
Wells bill. These companies are Or
ganized under the laws of this state
and their charters do not give them
the right to buy out and merge with
other companies. Thus, they say.
they are at a disadvantage in h
fight against the Bell. and they are
asking that this bill be passed SO
they may be placed on an equal foot
ing with it.
All Working For Il.
The officers of the Indiana indie
pendent Telephone association, Of
which nearly all the independent tele-
phone companies in the state are
members. are working for the bill.
When the question was raised as to
what effect this bill would have on
the existing laws and what ii would
do to and for the independents the
bill was referred to a committee con
sisting Of Representatives Smith, of
Jay. Merriman, of Wells and Elliott
of st. Joseph. all lawyers, to look into
1t and report back today.

The Distipauished Guest,

Captain Raabe was a man whose
name had weight in the French caval-
ry. He was a tall man, belonging to
the middle aged trooper type. With
military qualities OF the highest kind.
he had a singular bearing, a savage
sort Of misapthropy and cynical
tongue, which stood In the way Of pro
motion. When he was in the Sixth
lapcers, on garrison duty at Com
mercy, one OF his comrades brought
his father to dine with him at the
officers mess, a man Of humble posi-
ton and unpretentiously dressed. Cap
tain Raabe, considering that this
guest had not been fitly received, gave
expression to his opinion. saying that
if the executioner of Commercy had
come In evening dress he would have
had better reception. The officers
demurring, he made no rejoinder, but
shortly afterward came to mess with
a guest whose dress was irreproach-
able. Every one lavished attentions
on the unknown. When dinner was
over Captain Raabe, raising his glass,
proposed the health of 1.-The execution

A Clever Acrobat.

a dlverting anecdote is told In "An-
nails OF the Liverpool Stage" of an
unrehesrsed episode that occurred at
the Hop. cheap but popular place Of
entertainment. A troupe Of acrobats
were engaged. and one of their num-
Der gave "single turn" In which he
displayed his skill as champion
weight litter. Somebody, however, on
mischief bent, changed one of the ff-
ty-slx pound weights for one made Of
cardboard. The strong mans vision
was impaired by the loss Of one eye.
but In this instance not unfortunately
so. He took the first and second
weights, and after having manipulat-
ed them he took the third, the one
made of cardboard. Realizing in an
instant what had been done, he as
quickly decided to turn 1t to his own
advantage by throwing three Zip
daps" while holding the dummy
weight He was greeted with a per
feet round of applause, and the audi
ence declared it to be the greatest
feat they had ever witnessed.
