PHONES ON SOUTHERN FARMS
Nineteen Cities Eelped Build Rural La:s
Last ear.

Atlanta, Cain the last year nine

cal steps to induce farmers tG) build
telephone lines and connect with theiy

Funds have been raised to assict
the farmer in financial way and, &C
c0rding to Progress, the result has
been even more successful and graf
flying than was expected.
Farmers in Georgia and Alabama
are now selling their cotton and other
produce by telephone at higher prices
than they formerly obtained when
they first drove to town and ran the
risk OF finding conditions unfavorable.
The plan under which farmers Sc
cure universal telephone service and
connection with the comprehensive
Bell system contemplates that a
group OF farmers band together in "a
cooperative organization, build the
lme and purchase the equipment.
This requires a small cash expenai.
ture, but the farmers own the tele-
phones, wires and other material
The line is connected with the Bell
system, a fiat charge being made for
service. This monthly charge is very
low and when divided among the
farmers ON the line is seldom more

III the telephones are on the line is
On advantage rather than an objec-
ton In rural districts. II enables a
farmer in an emergency to call every
one of his neighbors to his assistance

DEFECT IN COAST Guns
At FORTRESS MONROE
CrOzier Locates Cause of De-
plorable Accident in Army
SAFETY Device FAILED TO WORK
Mechanism So Delicate ns to Become
Disarranged by . Hard and
Sudden Jerk ON the
Layard.
SAFETY Device FAILED TO WORK

Washington.-Tot the failure OF a
safety mechanism to operate when
a sudden and powerful pull was
given by an artilleryman in attach
ing .the lanyard, is laid the respon-
sibility for the accident which cost
the lives of eleven men at Fortress
Monroe, Va, during battle practice.
Such is the conclusion Of Gen. Croz-
ier, chief of ordinance, U. s. A., who
attended the practice and who has
been in touch with the inquiry made
by the investigating board.
Never before In the history of
the army had the device failed to
work. The possibility of its occur
ance was demonstrated by Gen.
Crozier shortly after the accident by
a test made of all the guns which
participated in the practice. In an
other gun. in the Inflated De Russy
battery the device was found de-
fective when Gen. Crozier apple
unusual force, such as was never
deemed necessary In tests and ex-
aminations.
Just before the accident the gun
was pronounced by officials to be in
perfect condition. In April q coast
artillery officer on inspection duty
reported that its premature explosion
was beyond the range Of possibili-
ties. Steps will be taken at once to
improve the device.
THE firing mechanism IL some
what delicate" said Gen. Crozier
in discussing the accident. "because
Of the lack of space for the utiliza-
ton of larger and more robust parts,
but 1t was supposed to be sunlcient
to withstand all. reasonable usage.
The operations of loading and fir
ing are conducted with great rapid
ity in the praiseworthy effort to
make a gocd time record and 1t is
necessary consequently that the mo-
tions are made with great force and
violence.
I'm this case 1t appears that the
gun started to rise to the firing posi-
tion before the breech block was
pushed home preparatory to retain
ing and locking 1t and before the
lanyard was hooked so that the man
whose duty it was to hook on the
lanyard had to do 1t while the gun
was In motion.
Testimony is to the effect that he
had some difficulty in hooking, max
ing several passes in his attempt to
do so and he finally succeeded In get
ting it hooked just as the gun was
passing out of his reach. when the
explosion Immediately took place. II
its presumable that he inadvertently
clung to the lanyard and gave the
sudden pull which In the case OF
the neighboring gun which was tried
later proved to be sufficient to de-
feat the safety object Of the me-
chanism."

Swope. This is the first time during the investigation of the Swope tragedies that candy has been mentioned in the case as a probable cause of sickness.
 The mention of the candy surprised Dr. Hyde and his counsellors.
 Dr. Hyde, who was sitting tilted back in his chair. slnilingly listening to the testimony of the nurse. quickly moved over to his attorneys andl began talking to them. Mrs. Hyde soon join ed the little group. For several min utes they talked earnestly.
 Tt is a significant feature, but l can not say just what will develop from an investigation of it." said Special Prosecutor James A. Reed later.
 Attorneys for Dr. Hyde said they did not regard the testimony seriously.
 The death of Chrisman Swope and the illness of Margaret Swope were reviewed on the witness stand today by Miss Anna Houlihan. a nurse. Miss Houlihan prompted the threatened strike by the nurses in the Swope home and demanded an investigation of Dr. Hyde last December. She was on the stand all day.
