Telephone and Telegraph
Charges.

Washington, Nov DEMONSTRATION

Swallowed by petitions which have been
filed with the interstate commerce com
mission, directing attention "to the APP
parent purpose of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph company to monop-
olize all facilities for wire communica-
ton"
The commission was given jurisdiction
over telegraph and telephone lines under
the last act amendatory of the interstate
commerce law The petitions, identical
in form, proefss to set forth the desires of
individuals in several western states.
The commission, it is said, realizes
that it is only matter of short time
before the rates must be reviewed When
the commission issued its order assum-
ing jurisdiction over companies engaged
in interstate business as common car
riers of messages by wire, expression OF
views was withheld with respect to the
amenability of these carriers in the
matter of rates.
The petitions declare that "quick, re-
liable and economical intercommunica-
ton is so essential to the commercial and
social interest of the citizens of the yari-
GUS states that Geographic service and
the charges therefor more vitality con,
Germ the welfare and prosperity Of all
classes than do the service and rates of
express companies"

AND PRINCETON TRlUMPHS

The crimson went under again Satur-
day to the Carlisle Indians in a game
that displayed the brilliancy of the In
dams and especially of that wonderful
athlete, Thorpe, and the nerve of the
Harvard coaches in attempting to get
away with such a game with a second
rate lineup. The strength of the In
dams could not have been underestimate
ed in Cambridge, yet it is hard to make
out why Harvard kept its regulars prae-
tically idle until too late in the day.
Yale showed lots of stuff against Brown
and appears to be in the running for
the best there is in the land Yale had
scoring chances in abundance and chose
to exercise its goal kicking. Princeton
won another lucky game and through
the luckiest Of all chances. DeWitt's
drop kick bumped from the ground and
over the post, cheating Dartmouth out
of tie, which it richly earned. Penn

CHARGE BURNS MEN
WITH KIDNAPPING WITNESS
Alleged to Have Uncovered Dynamite
Cache, Cincinnati Man Is Said to
Be Speeding to Los Angeles.

Cincinnati, Nov. l3.-Mystery was
added Saturday to the disappearance Of
Frank Eckhod, twenty four, eoremak
er, of No. 4l62 Hamilton avenue, this
city, when his wife received special
delivery letter from him, dated at Pitts
burg, Pa, In which he said he was "hav-
ing a good time Late Friday, Eek
hoifs wife and her mother appealed to
Chief of the Police Jackson for inf0rma-
tion as to the missing man, and were
told, they declared Saturday, that Eek
hoff was on his way to Los Angeles, Cal
my husband has been kidnapped" the
wife declared
The police say that Eckhoff, who was a
boyhood companion OF James and John
Mcnamara, was taken away as a witness
of the alleged Beaver Falls, Pa, dyna-
hitting operations OF the McNamaras by
operatives of the Burns detective agency,
who made the investigation that led to
the arrest of the McNamaras on a
charge of dynamiting the Los Angeles
Times building.
The receipt by Mrs. Eckhoff of the
special delivery letter from Pittsburg
indicates, the police say, that Eekholf
was at Beaver, Pa, last week, where
he is said to have located cache of dy-
Mantle hidden by structural ironworkers
in dynamite plots.
Contradictory to this belief, however,
was a statement made at police head
quarters Friday night by Detective Tracy
in the presence of the two women. Tracy
told the women that Eckhoff was on his
way to the coast and that the reason he
had not notified the mans relatives was
because he could not leave the train.
Tracy said, according TO the police, that
money had been given to Mrs. Eckhotf to
support herself while her husband was
gone and that she also had been invited
TO 90 to Los Angeles.

MERELY A LEGISLATIVE SUGGESTION


The house bill, limiting work of
laborers and mechanics employed
by contractors or sub-contractors
on governmental work to 8 hours,
and providing for a fine for non
compliance with the law, was put
over unanimously and without
much debate.
Representative Berger declared
the bill was not drawn in plain
English. He suggested that a
bricklayer be permitted to draft
an eight-hour law, of not more
than ten lines, with newspaper
man to examine and approve it,
that its meaning may beintelligi-
Bile.
Berger's suggestion might ap-
ply to all legislation, and the
country as a whole would gain by
the operation.
That the advertising bug is
just as bad as the hook worm
was brought out in the discussion
of the Lindbergh resolution ask
ing for an investigation of the
money trust.
In the senate, Works of Cali
fOrnia made a remarkable speech
in which he attacked Americas
richest men who make their phil
anthropies dependent ,on condi
tions that their names be heralded
broadcast throughout the land as
donors to the people. This
method of giving away small por-
tons of their wealth, asserted Mr..
Works, is just as selfish as the
method of accumulating it.

SUGGESTION
your charity and just give us
plain justice and we'll be able to
take care of ourselves.
In fact, the whole mess of legis-
lation annually introduced for
political reasons, is either put to
sleep or so trimmed as to rob it
of its power for good; and if the
shears and razors of private inter-
ests fail, there is always some
court to declare an undesirable
piece of legislative juggling un-
constitutional.
Why wouldn't it be a good
thing to cut out both houses, let
the people of each state annually
select a number of delegates,
based on the states population, to
attend an annual convention at
Washington, D. c., and then have
whatever is favorably considered
by this convention, before it can
be made effective or binding, sub
dnitted to a national referendum
vote of the people and declared
adopted only on a two-third vote
in its favor?
Of course this is radical, but
what if it is, so long as it means
progress in the right direction
and insures government of the
people by the people and for the
people?

Testimony to the value Of the fixed

tho new order went into effect there has
been no malicious tampering with the
fire alarm boxes between II p. m. and
a. M II has also been discovered that
real alarms between these hours have
been turned IN much more promptly.
These results are plainly due to the in
creased vigilance Of the policemen on
duty and 70 the public's realization Of
the fact that crime and disorder in the
night hours have become much more
hazardous
Security breeds security. and once the
idea becomes common that the streets
are better patrolled and guarded. evil
dcers will be more and more wary. and
housebreakers. hold-up men and trouble
makers generally will figure on risks
which they have previously ignored.
New Workers viii also gradually lose
their dread Of being out after midnight.
and as the streets are more freely used
throughout the night their use will he
come less risky. This city IS still far
behind many smaller European cities in
the volume and security Of nocturnal
travel and an increase I'm that travel
would help materially to drive criminals
