Mayor Grinstead Will Order
phone Service Stopped
Instantly.
REvoKEDBY LOUISVILLE
Kentucky's City Aldermen
GO After Public Service
Corporation.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 25-Mayor
Grainstead has signed the ordinance
reyoking the franchise under which
the Cumberland Telephone Company
is operating in this city, and will call
upon the company to cease opera
tons at once, so far as Louisville is
concerned. Attorneys here for the
company had no statement to make.
The Upper Board of Aldermen de-
feated the ordinance creating a
new telephone franchise, and then
passed the ordnance repeating the
franchise under which the Cumber
land Company is now operating.
This franchise, the Cumberland
people claim, is a perpetual one, but
the city contends otherwise. The
defeat of the ordinance creating a
new franchise makes it certain that
the Home Company will not be given
permission to raise its rates, unless
the old Home ordinance, which was
vetoed by Mayor Grinstead, is de
clared legal by the courts. The suit
instituted by the Home Telephone
Company, seeking to have the May
as veto declared invalid and i'm
bstative, is set for next Friday in
Court Of Common Pleas.
Some have contended that unless
action was taken by Jan. 20 the fran
chise of the Cumberland would au-
tomatically become a perpetual one
The Mayor and his party claim
that the franchise is not, and would
not then become, perpetual. The
Cumberland people claim it has al
ways been perpetual. The two first
parties are now lined up togather as
a result of the action repeating the
franchise.

and Crime.
Akeley, Mimi, June POT. B.
Walker of Minneapolis-per perhaps the
greatest owner of pOne lands in the
world, was the principal speaker at
the dedicatory services of the new
Methodist Episcopal church in this
place. He said a mans life, no mat
ter how much money he accumu-
lated, was a failure unless he lived
as a Christian and that this life
was only probationary to the one
come for those worthy of it. He
denied that poverty was the result
Of an unequal distribution of wealth
and stated the real causes were
chiefly intemperance and vice. He
said there never existed in the his
tory Of the human race a more equal
distribution Of wealth and the work
ing people never enjoyed such priv
ileges and prosperity as at present,
especially in America.
Mr.. Walker stated that the 81
0OO,OOOOOO spent annually in the IL
quOr traffic was the cause of crime
and poverty alone This money
alone, which was worse than vast
ed, would provide comfortable homes
and living for all working people
and give them a competency in their
old age.
