Mr.. Loring Brown, Smyrna, Ca.
Dear Sir: You asked me some time
ago to offer a few points and sugges-
lions. together with some feasible way
TO encourage the establishment of cat
tie feeding and raising in the state Of
Georgia.
Your interest in this subject and the
interest of all others who have given
the matter close study are we'll founded.
An industry so important to the well
fare Of all the people Of the state will
surely in time come to realization.
Georgia (the south for that natter,
has had bad reputation in the way of
producing good cattle; the cattle now
and heretofore produced in this state
have not met the demands of the best
markets even at home and never did
have a chance at the hest markets of the
condition and state OF affairs have for
number of years have been well un-
derstood and substantiated Thirty years
ago thousands OF southern cattle were
shipped north to eat the cheap corn
and grass, simply as a necessity to the
north and middlewest farmer, who knew
the benefit Of letting his crops go
through cattle He realized not so much
profit at the time but he knew that
cattle fed on the farm always improved
the land.

In addition 10 their incapacity to be
profitable feeders, carried disease, and
caused great less by death to cattle not
raised in the mild climate of the south.
This loss became so enormous that the
secretary OF agriculture, under the con-
tagious disease act OF 1884. established
a strict national quarantine line from

Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirement il is
essential not only that there be at all
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated interchangeably with each
other and in close physical connec-
ton with land lines as one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
to provide against the very frequent
cable interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor any
one Of the companies Of the Western
Union group has, independently of the
others, facilities enough TO handle
the business which at times any one
company might be called upon to take
care OF, because of some particular
rush of business, or because Or some
cable interruption. Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service, al
though the combined facilities of
these companies are ample if they
could be used supplementary to each
other and interchangeSbly.
AS il is, each company operates its
own cables through separate and dis
tinct Offices and under separate and
distinct management. All interchange
Of business is by actual transfer Of the
business from one company to the
other, with the consequent delay and
interruption Of a service in which
seconds are valuable.

TRYING TO STARVE
HERSELF TO DEATH
Sister Of Slain Boy Refuses
to Take Food.

Driven insane by bruoding over the
murder Of her brother Harry. whose
charred body was found Sunday in the
co! bier shop Of Tony Melano, Myrtle
Smith threatens to starve herself to
death At the Washington Asylum Hospi-
tai. where she is being detained. She has
refused absolutely to take any nOursh-
ment since her arrival there Wednesday
morning. The girl is under constant sur
VeillanCe, lest she do herself harm.
Miss Smith yesterday refused to be
seen by her family physician. who called
at the hospital. 1t was the physician
who prevented her from leaping into her
brothers grave when her brain snapped
after the funeral service Wednesday.
Mgr. Mackin visited the girl at the
hospital yesterday and she talked with
him for some time.
In an endeavOr to shatter what defense
Melano has made against the murder
charge, the police to-day will take into
custody the ''red-headed man" whom
MelanO accuses of killing the Smith boy.
The police have identified the man. and
he will be required to prove an alibi.
Detectives Cornwall and Weldon believe
the ''red-headei man" will clear himself
of any charges, and the case against
MelanO will be strengthened. TWO
Charges-murder and arson-will be
placed against MelanO, according to po-
lice officials.

Building Up the Suburbs.

The remarkable development Of the
suburban country around Washington
has NOT been confined to any one sec
ti"n While the country along Connccti-
cut avenue extended has become quite
thickly populated. the same condition OBJ
tainS in the neighborhocd Of Rrightwood.
Brookland, and the portions Of the Dis
trIct lying cast and southeast OF Wash
ingt"n. The growth of the suburbs IS
apparent to any ono who travels upon
the trolley cars.
1t is this fact which gives interest and
value to the suggestion that in some way
the traction lines should afford an ex-
prcS~ service to OUTLYING points. The
trouble Is. OF course. that this is much
easier said than done. The practical
difficulties il the way arc many. 1t is
not even possible apparently. to prevent
passengers who desire to ride for only
L few blocks from boarding cars des-
tined for Chevy Chase. Tlkoma Park.
or LAUREL Maybe. however, the traction
experts can devise some plan which will
facilitate travel
The suhurbanitc ought. of course. to
live in the city. but if he will persist
in wandering into the country for his
home. he ought to have prompt trans
portation in the most convenient fash
ion. The suburban car that moves
slowly and stops frequently is apt to
get upon his nerves.

Efficiency Increased,
Waste PreUented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Anglo-Amer-
lean and the Direct U. S. companies
will bring the eight cables of the three
companies under one operating con-
troll. The consequent increase in
effectiveness and economy will place
the Western Union in a position to
offer certain advantages in cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open to enable
the Western Union to make such i'm
provements and introduce such new
services as it proposes to do, would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height of folly.
Duplication of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at a cost of
many millions. when there are more
than ample facilities for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and would probably postpone
the reduction Of rates or introduction
of new services.

The Transatlantic Gable
Situation and Competition

The trans Atlantic cable situation
is as follows:
The Mackay group of seven ca
bles, including the German cables,
owned by or worked in physical con-
nection with the telegraph lines of
that company form one system.
The French cables comprise an in
dependent system, using both the
Western Union and the Mackay land
lines for their United States connec-
ton.
In competition with these is the
Western Union group of cables, eight
in all, owned by three separate COM
panies, two of which are British
companies owning FIVE Of the eight
cables.
TDo only of the British oDned
cables terminate in the United States
and all of them are entirely depen-
dent on the Western Union for their
connection tUith any telegraph system,
or for their reaching any centre of

The Result in Maine.

Ii l. evident that the election in Maine
which the i-prohibitionists are now
SAID to have won by less than 200 votes
is 20 close as to De most unsatisfactory
The defeated side will certainly not be
content with such narrow margin, and
in the end there must be another ref
erence to the people
The result of the election has been
a surprise to those who believed that the
citizens OF Maine were heartily tired of
the conditions which have prevailed in
the State for so many years. II is well
known that in Maine prohibition has
not prohibited and that innumerable
places existed where liquor could be
Illegally obtained. Notwithstanding this
fact. and despite the growing feeling
that it would be better to have a liquor
law honestly administered than a pro-
hlbItory law constantly disregarded, the
people of Maine have divided almost
equally, showing that the religious feel
ing and the conservatism which per-
nleate the State are still strong factors
in the settlement of the question.
Even if the repeal of the prohibition
clause in the constitution has been de-
creed, there is a law on the statute
books, passed in 1857 and still unre-
pealed, which makes the sale of liquor
illegal. There is no possibility that
Maine will become a wide-open State.

Politics and City Government.

Mayor Speer. of Denver. who recently
returned from a trip abroad, has been
telling the people of his city some OF his
impressions and observations. One Of
his conclusions is that municipal gov
ernment in Europe is superior to that
in the United States, because politics
is excluded from consideration. Another
is that public utilities should be treated
fairly, under municipal regulations. as
to expenditures. service. and rates. He
found. too. that in Europe individual
rights must give way TO the public good.
He was most impressed with the gov
ernmcnt OF German cities, and in his
belief the German municipality is Uni
formlv satisfactory. because the German
people honor their officials, and in re-
turn receive honest service. Permanent
tenure of office secures trained and eff
cient executive officers The Germans
have strict libel laws, with swift execu-
tion. which do not permit newspapers
10 make false statements about public
officials. business men. or private citi-
ems. German cities have taken corpo-
ration influences out of politics. They
have more power to do things. to ex-
pertinent. and to work out municipal
development along individual lines.
Mayor Spccr did not need to go to
Europe to discover that there can be
good government without politics. II
he had come TO Washington. he would
have found that much OF the excellence
which has been attained here in munici-
pal administration is due to the fact
that political considerations do not OBJ

On May II. 1775, Capt. Jere-

Margaretta, carrying four light
guns and fourteen swivel pieces.
O'Brien's crew was thirty-five

schooner had more men than the

war vessel. She had been some

lucky shot from the lumber
sloop killed the man at the wheel
and cleared the quarterback.
Another shot killed the British
captain. O'Brien gave the order
to board, and the schooner was
captured after a hand-to-hand
fight. About twenty men in all
were killed and wounded.
O'Frien mounted the captured
guns on stronger sloop and'put

were sent TO capture him. BY
willy stratagem he separated
them, fought each in turn. and
took both of them prisoners.
