CHAMBER SUIT
IS WITHDRAWN
TRUSTEES LEFT TO DO AS THEY
SEE IT REGARDING CANAL
TERI ANNUITY.

NEW YORK,Jan. 10.-Julia G.
Chanler, divorced wife of Robert W.
Chanler, yesterday withdrew her in
junction restraining the trustees Of
tn Chanler estate from paying Lima
Cavalieri Chanler, the singer, the
$4,000 a year annuity that he guar
anteed her in the pre-nuptial agree
ment. Mrs. Chambers attorney said:
I'VE decided that 1t would be best
not to try to MAKE the Injunction per-
manent. The fact that the injunc-
ton has been lifted leaves Mrs. Ju-
liza Chanler's suit to have the pre-nup-
tial contract declared invalid still
pending. The trustees, however, may
do as they see At regarding the pay
ment of the annuity to Lima Cavalie-
ri Chanler"

RAILROADS MUST
PROVE EFFICIENCY
BRIEF FILED BY HAYNlE AND
LUST IN RATE CONTRO-
vERSY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. lot Is
eviden there Is no presumption, one
way or the other, that the carriers
are efficiently and economically OPP
Grated, and as the burden rests upon
them under the interstate commerce
act to prove their case, to prove it
they must show efficient manage
ment." This Is one OF the import
ant propositions laid down in the
brief filed with the interstate COM
merce commission by William Duff
Haynie and H. G. Lust, on behalf OF
the Illinois Manufacturers associa-
ton, in the pending investigation by
the commission of the proposed ad-
vances in freight rates by the rail-
roads.
It Is maintained in the brief that
proof of efficient and economical man
agement has not been demonstrated,
because RAILROAD management shows
the same evils today as many years
ago. when it became necessary to
institute governmental regulation of
the carriers III
While the brief deals generally
with the rate situation throughout the
country, it makes the more particu-
lar reference to the proposed ad-
vances by the roads In western trunk
line territory. These are not ad-
vances on class rates, but on COM
modify rates, approximately sixty
commodities being selected to bear
the proposed increases. 1t is argued
In the brief that a part Of the burden
of proof is to shop that the rates az
to particular commodities affected
are reasonable. This, it Is submit,
ted, has not been done.

Battling the MOSQUITO.

Last summer we were pestered with

killed between thirty and forty in our

day took a wooden cloth, put little
kerosene oil on it, and rubbed both
sides Of the wire mesh of the screens
with it. That night one lonely mos
quito distur2Rd our rest. Two or

joyed peace the rest of the summer.

BELL PHONES EVERYWHERE
Farmers Express Their Apr sciAtiop
Of the Service.

The rapid extension of the Bell lei.
ephone service into the farming sec.
ton from one end Of the country to
the other is strong feature of the
Bell development.
In a conversation BY the Suffolk
manager to one Of its farmer line sub
scribers, it was found that the serv-
ice was something more than con.
venience, and was looked upon as one
of the main necessities. This sub
scriber referred to the saving of trips
to town, of the increased information
in general, particularly the market
quotations that have recently brought
so much money itno circulation in
this section. This feature OF the serv-
ice more than pays every farmer for
the small outlay Of money.
The particular thing to be observed
is that once these farmer lines are
built they are never discontinued, but
are extended by the high appreciation
expressed by the Bell service to 9TH
ers who do not have it. 1t follows
that others begin to find they are get
ting behind their neighbors, and, as a
result, theyq, too. begin to work up
farmer line.
Every new farmer line means in.
creased business for all parties con-
meet with the Bell system. Those
who have not yet installed farmer
line station can best be informed why
by talking the matter over with any
of the farmers now connected with
the Bell system Some Of those who
now have this service say that one
days saving in time or knowing of
the market conditions pays them for
the years outlay.-The Herald, Suf-
folk, va.
