Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements II is
essential not only that there be at all
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated interchangeab 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, pendently 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 of 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 interchangeably.
AS it is, each company operates its
own cables through separate and dis
tinct offices and under separate and
distinct management AL 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.

The Transatlantic Gable
Situation and Competition

The transatlantic 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
n all, owned by three separate COM
panies, two of which are British
companies owning five of the eight
cables.
TlUo only of the British Ovned
cables terminate IN the United States
and al Of them are entirely 6epen-
dent on the Western Union for their
connection IOith any telegraph system,
or for their reaching any centre OF
business, and are 1ouO Worked erctu-
siDeEy, SO far as business is concerned,
with the Western Union.

MORRIs-FLYNN BATTLE TONIGHT
Both Men Anxious to Unseat sleep
Producer Early.

New York, Sept 15--Carl Morris,
the Oklahoma giant, and Jim Flynn,
the Pueblo fireman, will meet tonight
at Madison Square garden in their long
postponed fight. The articles of agree
ment call for ten rounds under
straight Marquis of Queensberry rules
with five-ounce gloves
Charley White will referee, but no
decision will be rendered. Morris will
weigh about 230 pounds and Flynn
about $50.
The prospects of a good battle, with
one of the contestants a man who, by
some, is considered suitable timber
from which to work an antagonist
worthy to meet Jack Johnson for the
worlds heavyweight championship,
has created great interest in the bout
and bumper crowd of fight lovers
from all over the country, especially
from Oklahoma, is expected.
Morris has come east with a record
far above the ordinary fighter, name
ly seven fights and seven knockouts,
all of them inside of six rounds. In
Flynn he will meet no unworthy foe
man. for the fireman has knocked into
Inconsistencies several good men,
notable among them being Al Kauf-
mann. He is a rushing, Furnishing
fighter Of the Tom Sharkey type and
can always be depended upon to put up
a good battle.
Morris, with his six feet four inches,
will tower over Flynn and he also
will have the advantage of youth,
reach and weight. The handlers Of
both men say they are in fine fettle
and prepared to go the ten rounds at
a fast pace.
The following table shows the meas
ures of the fighters:

HAMILTON MAY BE MANAGER.
Track Coach Suggested as Successor tC
Langsdon.

Lawrence, Kan. Sept. 15.-It has
been rumored in university circles here
that w. o. Hamilton. who has been
track coach at the University of Kansas
for the past three years, will be made
manager of athletics to succeed W. C.
Langsdon, who is now managing editor
of the Salina Union. Nothing definite
is known about the appointment Of
Coach Hamilton, but it is believed that
the announcement will be given out
soon.
Mr.. Hamilton has been connected
with athletics for a number of years
Before he came to the university he
was head of track and basketball at
Central high school of Kansas City,
Mo Since he has been at K U. Ham
ilton has developed two championship
basketball teams and several good
track teams.

Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Ang1o-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 inn
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.

Sioux City Tribune: Enter the base
ball hall of fame, Mr. Clark, and make
yourself at home. You had it coming;
for any were doubtful as to whether
you were the goods.
Sioux City now has firgured both

the first game of the season, Whine
bago'' Johnson handed them the same
package that Clark did the cellar
Champs yesterday.
Mr.. Frank Farrell, owner of the New
York Americans, must have been high
~ gratified when he scanned the West
ern league results of yesterday. The
feat makes Clark look more like $4,000
than ever before.
The sports editor of the Tribune is in
receipt of a clipping from a Vancouver
paper which praises the work of
'Ducky' Holmes, manager of the Van
couver club. Under the leadership of
Holmes, it is predicted that Vancouver
will put Spokane out of the race for the
pennant in the Northwestern league.
Joe Chabek, former member of the
Champs, won Is games and lost II

A provisional modification of an
arrangement which has existed for
many years has been reached between
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, The Anglo-American Cable
Company and the Direct U. S. Cable
Company, under which the cable sys-
TENS of these companies now worked
exclusively in business connection
with each other, but operated and
maintained separately, will be oper-
ated in direct physical connection
with each other and with the Western
Union land system
Two objects are to be attained by
this arrangement:
First. more efficient and ecOnOHai-
cal operation.
Second, the introduction of nelO
forms of service to the advantage of
the public.

Limited Business Hours
and Idle Facilities

AS at present carried on, the trans
Atlantic cable business is practically
all fash service, t. E. instantaneous.
Owing to the difference in time, there
are only a few business hours of the
day common to both sides and during
these hours at least 75ao of the cable
business is done. This is demon
strated by the accompanying chart.
In the interests of international
business nothing should be done to
interfere in any way with the so-called
fash or instantaneous service, and
the lines should be kept clear to ac-
commodate such messages during the
few business hours common to both
countries; but to continue to conhne
the cables to this class of service, as
at present, will utilize only about IS g
of the existing capacity of millions of
