HAVANA, July 1O.-widespread
comment has been caused here by the
allegations made against President
Gomez, which in substance charge
that his administration has been con-
nected with grating operations. Ru-
mors Of discomfort in the provinces
during the last few days are growing
into real revolutionary talk. The
unrest is believed to be caused by
the publication in the Havana news
papers two weeks ago Of the accumu-
lations Of President Gomez and the
wide discussion thereof by the local
press. 1t was announced then that
the president had purchased lots at
the corner of Prado and Colon streets
for Sl35,000 and would erect a man
sion covering fully half a city block.
The articles pointed out that Senior
Gomez took the presidency with no
assets except $4,000 debts, and as
his salary for his two years of IN
cumbency is only $4,000 a year the
anti-administration papers comment
ed sarcastically on the economical
abilities of the president This seems
to have aroused the agitators in the
outlying provinces.

OA-pssAJ AOI Uc1u6 CdllcU upon TO
pay any rentals for the instrument.
Since the passage Of the law of 1911,
requiring railway companies to main
tain telephone service in their depots,
l am told that some of the local
telephone companies have served no.
tlce of intention to cancel their con-
tracts and demand rentals paid by
the railway companies.
In other words, these telephone
companies are now attempting by the
violation of their own contracts to
compel the railway companies to pay
for something which is a positive
benefit to the telephone companies.
would suggest that regardless of
any legal question involved, that the
officers Of the telephone companies
having such contracts should study
conditions we'll before attempting
cancellation, for in such attempted
cancellation they are violating t.Ie
moral and ethical code that they are
so free to call to their aid when deal
ing with others. y"
And now in bringing this address
to a final close, I would urge upon
each member of this convention and
upon all connected with the tele-
phone business in the state, the great
Importance Of maintaining the bust
ness free from unscientific and anna
teurish control. It may not be i'm.
proper for some form of commission
to have the power of Investigation
and determination as to whether the
rates charged are such as to. demand
from the public more than is neces-
sary to pay the proper charges, lay
aside the necessary funds and to pay
reasonable dividend, and to compel

the fixing of rates at an amount
which shall be reasonable, always
subject OF course, to the right of
either party to have the questions
finally determined in court Of JUS
tice, but so far as the actual man.
agement and control of the business
is concerned, it should be left in the
hands of those who are directly in
terested, and who because of that
Interest are constantly striving to
better qualify themselves to attend to
the business. To maintain the laws
of the state in such condition that
the owners of the telephone property
of the state may have some positive
voice in the control of their own
business, requires careful conduct on
the part of the owners and a close
inspection Of any and all legislation
that may be proposed, affecting that
interest. It is advisable therefore
that this great business, as l have
already shown owned in the largest
extent by local men and financed by
local money, should have some COM
mittee authorized to speak for it and
act for it in legislative affaffirs. With
this precaution we may expect moth
ing but fair and proper legislation,
for it is only necessity that the men,
bers Of the legislature know what Is
right and just, to secure their &C.
ton along that line. With the at
tention shown to equipment, con-
struction and service, that I have
indicated, each company may be sure
of maintaining it's standard at high
degree and retaining its. subscribers.
BY continuing the contractual rela-
tons now existing between the COM
panies of this state we will maintain
the already established reputation of
the telephone companies of this state
for perfection in service and be
known throughout the telephone
world as the inaugurators of a sys-
tenn of amicable and friendly rela-
tons, resulting in satisfaction to the
public and profit to the stockholders.

A Floor That Turns Over.

The floor in the Apollo theater in
Paris is reversible, one side being made
for dancing, the other being the usual
inclined floor equipped with the fold
ing seats Of theater auditorium. The
floor Is mounted on horizontal axis
on which it revolves. It is built on
a framework of steel Orders, has an
area of $500 square feet and weighs
100 tons. The axis, which is parallel
to the front Of the stage, is not in the
middle Of the thickness Of the floor
but nearer to the seating surface than
to the dancing surface. The floor
swings through an excavation over
thirty feet in depth.-Cement Age.

TEL PHONE SYSTEMS

sumer, I say most emphatically tina
telephone companies big. and little

safe venture that at the end OF Ill
travels for any given time, ther

would urge upon all telephone men
to see to it, that proper salaries are
paid to those people on whom the
telephone company must depend FOL

In the August SIN number of Tele

You can get in instant communl

If one of the children should be-

you can summon the doctor imme-

In case of fire or accident, you

If you are too i'll to get to your office,
you can conduct your business from

If eyerv clock in the house stops,
you can get the correct time from

You can make or break social en-

your convenience.
All of these and many more can
he urged as reason why one should
have telephone, but If the service
rendered is poor and faulty, if the
equipment is subject to disorder. and
the salaries paid are inadequate to
secure intelligent assistance, then
these things that sound like, and
should be, aids and comforts in every
day life, become aggravations, dis
comforts and breed sourness of tenn

A telephone company owes duty
to the public, to supply it with good
and sufficient service. In fact, 1t
not only owes that duty to the pub.

officers owe to the stockholders a
duty to furnish the public with the
best possible service, all conditions

Sinoino Wires,

Sometimes when tempest is raging
telegraph wires are silent, while In
time Of calm they are sonorouA Evil
IDENTITY the vibration of the wires is not
due to atmospherical agitation alone.
A scientist Of Berlin who studied the
cause Of the singing of wires in time
Of calm concludes that the vibration
of the wires always presages the ap-

sounds are deep the change of weather
may be looked for within two days
When they are shrill or sharp the
storm will come within a very few
