The evening times., 1911-07-28
Twilight

How many things are like this sad
sweet hour,
When neither light nor darkness
rules the world
And nature lulls to slumber ev'ry
flower
Before the nights dusky banners
are unfurled.
A solemn hour when all things bright
must die
That made the world so radiantly
fair;
The suns pale crimson fades upon
they sky,
The breath of night is in the per-
fumed air
Perchance there's something in our
hearts
That, like this dying day, will never
The light that hope to everything i'm
parts,
And never blossom to reality.
Some secret love that never must be
told
Some hidden wish--some thought OF
ungained fame,
All sink on life's horizon. dark and
low,
Just like the sunsets dying even
ing flame.
Whose life is there this twilight does
not mark?
Whose heart is there that does not
hold within
Some poor. dead hops that once
burned like spark.
And struggled hard its victory to
win?
So struggles day against the coming
night.
Till, weary with the shadows on
her breast,
She Yields TO darkness all her treas
ures bright.
And slowly sinks. just like our
lopes-to rest.

Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirem ents il is
essential not only that there be al all
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated interohsngesbly with each
other and in close physical counec-
ton with land lines as one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
10 provide against the very frequent
cable Interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor any
one OF the companies OF the Western
Union group has, independent 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 in,erChangeably.
AS 1t is, each company operates its
own cables through separate and dis
tine, Offices and under separate and
distinct management. Allinterchange
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.

Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

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 10 lay new cables. This would
seem 10 be the height OF folly.
Duplication Of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at 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 OF introduction
OF new services.

The Trans Atlantic Gable
Situation and Competition

The transatlantic cable situation
Is as follows:
The Msckay 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 Msckay land
lines for their United States eonnec-
ton.
In competition with these is the
Western Union group Of cables. eight
in ali, owned by three separate COM
paniss, two Of which are British
companies owning FIVE Of the eighs
cables.
Ttpo only of the British owned
cable, terminate in the United States
and all of them are entirely depen-
dent on the Western Union for their
connection rith any telegraph system,
or for their reaching any centre of
business, and are now Worked erciu-
sirey, so far as business is concerned,
uith the Western Union.

Limited Business Hours
and Idle Facilities

AS at present carried on, the trans
Atlantic cable business is practically
all fash service. t. {. instantaneous.
Owing TO the difference in time, there
ere only a few business hours OF the
day common TO both sides and during
these hours at least 7sF Of the cable
business is done. This is demon
s;rated by the accompanying chart.
In the interests Of international
business nothing should be done TO
interfere in any way with the so-ealled
fash or instantaneous service, and
the lines should be kept clear to ae-
commodate such messages during the
few business hours common to both
countries; but TO continue TO confne
the cables to this class Of service, as
at present, will utihze only about 7Sg
OF the existing capacity Of millions Of
property and places on that limited
service all the capital, maintenance
and operating charges.

Monopoly of Cable
Business impossible

There is no cable monopoly pos
sible. The three systems-the
Western Union, the French and the
Mackay-will continue TO exist.
The Maekay Companies is a hold
ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease or contract, operst-
ing control OF various companies
owning land lines and cables which
make up the Mackay System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as one system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
if operated separately.
The French cables form another
system.
The Western Union System, under
the proposed arrangement for one
operating control over the present
segregated units, will be enabled to
make two distinct advances in the
transatlantic cable business:
I-BETTER SERVICE. This will be
CNOlOlu-
icsl working resulting from single
direction over the operations Of both
cables and land lines.
a-PUBLTC ADVANTAGES. The
greater part Of the cable capacity has
been and is now unutilized. 1t will
continue to lie dormant and unu,ilized
under existing conditions and uadi-
tions. The Western Union purposes
to make these wasted facilities useful
to the public by means Of new kinds
Of cable service.
In addition, the Western Union in
tends to nationslize its land lines by
opening them TO ell Atlantic
cable companies.

NEGRO PURSUED BY POSSE.
La Crosse Fugitive Shot White Girl
and Then Wounded Sell

La Crosse, July 20.-Sheriff Chris
Burns with an auto load of deputies,
heavily armed, are securing the corn
fields near. the Cargill farm, seven
miles east of here, searching for Ed
RObinette aged 21, d negro farm hand,
who shot Miss Sylvia Price, II, daugh-
ter Of the white farm keeper, and
then shot himself and fed.
Robinette is believed to have fallen
in love with the white girl and when
repulsed began shooting. The young
woman is not badly injured, the two
bullets which took effect having pass
ed through the flesh of her arms. She
is semi-conscious and cannot give de-
tails of the shooting, Robinette
turned the pistol onto himself and
fired, but ran into the fields evidently
only slightly hurt.
The negro is still at large and is
armed. The sheriff arrived on the
scene within two hours, and was rein
forced by police officers from here,

Which Was Raised For the Victims
of the Chicago Stock Yards
Fund.

New York, July 20.-Letters similar
to those which drove Harlow n. Hig-
inbotham of Chicago to Europe two
weeks ago met him again when he
returned on the steamer Olympic. Mr..
Higinbotham is custodian of the funds
raised for the benefit of the widows
and orphans of the firemen killed in
the stockyards fire last December
He said he has received several an
noymous threats because some Of the
beneficiaries of the fund were not
satisfied with the income and demand
ed the division of the entire fund
among them.
II really believe" Mr. Higinbotham
said, that they will try to kill me
when | return to Chicago" He said
that these threats came to him first
on July 5, when he came here to see
his daughter off on the Mauretania.
AS result he suddenly decided to
sail on the same steamer.
