COMPANY
WINS DECISION
SECURES INJUNCTION IN FEDER-
AL COURT AGAINST TELE-
PHONE CORPORATION.

Nashville, Tenn, April 4.-Judge
Ed. T. Sanford of the circuit court OF
the United States handed down an
opinion yesterday granting to- the
Postal Telegraph Cable company an
injunction against the Cumberland
Telephone and Telegraph company Ca
Bell company .minating against
the Postal in the way of use OF tele-
phone. A similar Injunction was
granted in behalf of the Postal
against the East Tennessee Tele-
phone company, which is subsidi-
airy company of the Cumberland Tel
ephone and Telegraph company. 1t
appears that the telephone companies
refuse to furnish telephones to the
Postal Telegraph company for the
same rental which was charged other
subscribers to the telephone, and in,
sisted upon the Postal Telegraph com
pany paying 20 the telephone COM
panies fifteen per cent. of the tolls
taken in by the Postal company on
messages received over the telephone
and two cents on messages deIiv-
cred by the Postal company over the
telephone. The Postal company re-
fused to pay this commission and
two cents message, and the Cum
berland Telephone company COM
menced taking out 1the telephones
from the telegraph offices. Thereupon
the Postal Telegraph Cable company
applied to the United States court
for an injunction. The decision just
handed down sustains the contention
of the telegraph company and holds
that the postal company is entitled til
telephone service at the same rate
charged o.her business subscribers
and enjoining the telephone company
from removing its telephone or otn.
erwise dapri9ing the Postal company
of telephone service because of its re.
fusal to pay a higher rate.
1t is understood that this discrimi
nation against the Postal company is
practised by various other Bell com
panies throughout the United States
and that the above decision will put
an end to this.

HAVE OWN IDEAS

public lands yesterday pulled ano
hauled at the administration bill for
the withdrawal OF public lands for
conservation purposes. Republicans
of the public land states, who object
to any change or policies and repuC
lican followers of the modern con-
servation program could not come to

In the end the democrats de.
nounced both measures as designed
to give present and past administra
TONS clean bills Of health in relation
to the conduct of the land laws. They
introduced bill of their own.
The republicans were divided in
their support of the bill introduced in
the senate by Mr.. Nelson, which
would give the president absolute au.
thority to withdraw public lands for
conservation purposes or classification
and the house bill of Mr.. Pickett OF
Iowa, which would accomplish the
same purpose and validate past with.
drawals.
1t was reported last night that Mr.
Pickett will move to eliminate That
portion of his bill validating past
Withdrawals.
The latter clause, it is said, was
intended to validate certain with.

POLICE CHIEF OFFICE

PRACTICE ECONOMY
Desires 1t Is Expected His
Veto Will Be Over
ridden
LSneclal to The Herald.l

LONG BEACH, Feb. 1.-THE city
council voted this morning 40 abolish
the office of chief of police, laid over
the question of doing away with the
assistant city attorney and voted down
the resolution to abolish the office of
assistant fire chief, or chief engineer.
These three ordinances were intro
duced last week by Independent coun-
cilmen, who based their introduction
on grounds of economy in the city
administration. The two Charterite
councilmen. voted against the abolition
of the Office of police chief. -Four
councilmen voted against the ordt-
nance regarding the fire department
office on the ground that the services
of the assistant were needed, and City
Attorney Longs statement as to the
rush of work in his office led to post
ponement of action as to his assistant.
The mayor is expected to veto these
ordinances, as he was elected by the
Charterites, but if Councilman Moh-
renstecher votes with the Independents,
as he did this morning on the police
chief question, the mayors veto will
be overridden.
T. w. Williams, chief Of police under
the former administration, has held
over, no SUCCESSOR having been agreed
upon.

BLOOD POISONING RESULTS
FATALLY TO PHYSICIAN
DR.. Thomas 3. Mansfield Received a
Slight Injury While Perform
ing an Operation

SANTA MONICA, Feb. 11.-Dr.
Thomas B. Mansfield. aged 60 years,
died today at his home, 1928 Oregon
avenue, from paralysis induced by
blood poisoning. A cut received in
the hand while performing an oper-
alton on a miner in a gold mining
camp of the Sierras is the direct cause
of DR.. Mansfield's death, according to
his brother-in-laW DR.. f. B. Taylor.
DIR. Mansfield came here last No
venlber from Coarse Gold, MADEIRA
county. At the time he was suffering
slightly from blood poison, but it was
thought q sojourn at the beach would
benefit him. His condition gradually
became worse. Soon his finger and
toenails came off and other evidences
of the poison were made manifest. He
suffered several strokes of paralysis
until he received the final stroke which
ended his life today.
At the time the operation was per-
formed Dr. Mansfield received on one
cut finger a slight abrasion, which he
failed to notice. 1t is thought. this
was infected by the poison which soon
spread throughout his system. He was
a native of Ohio and was a member
of the G. \. r.
