of the application of the present inter-

hearing to officials of telegraph and

scented to the conference We're:
What telegraph and telephone COM
panies are subject to the act?
MAY such companies Issue franks
emitting to free interstate service or
may they grant free interstate service?
Are telegraph and telephone com
panies required to file with the COM
mission their tariffs of charges?
Does the law forbidding rebates and
undue preference apply to telegraph
and telephone companies?'
1t was not the purpose of the COM
mission to determine the status Of any
particular company but rather to in
ducc discussion OF the meaning and
application of the law to the new COM
mon carriers generally.

the Provo Wooden Mills directors, helI
here yesterday, 1t was rumored on the

Knight confirmed 1t toNhe extent that
the mills would close temporarily.
How long he could not state: but he
hoped they would be able to start again
soon. Mr.. Knight stated the mills had
not been run ut a profit since they
were opened, July 10, and the board
did not consider it advisable to continue
to operate them at loss. and Mr..
Knight hoped arrangements could be
made before long which would justify
resumption OF operations
There have been differences of opin
Ion in regard to methods between the
directors and the manager, Mr.. James
Dow. who came here from Dexter,
Maine. to take charge of the mills, and
Mr.. Dow resigned at the meeting yes

full goods, while Ilc has been In charge

will only be for a short time. n It
