PLAGUE CAUSES
 65,0O0 DEATHS

Pekin, February 1.-The viceroy of Manchuria estimates that fatalities in Manchuria from the plague already have reached 65,000, while the foreign office believes that inside the great wall there have been 1000 more deaths. According to the general belief, however, the num- Der of fatalities will be nearer double those of the official estimates.
 The relief committee at Shanghai be- lieves that the minimum number of deaths from famine is 10000.
 The success which the anti-plague com mittee working below Mukden had met has been surprise and cause of grat- ification to the foreign legations and for eigners generally. The Chinese railway, though it is losing heavily, continues It's curtailment of traffic.
 Many of the people in the famine strick- en district of Anhui are employed by the government in building levees. The financial drain on the government is most severe and 1t is expected 1t will be forced to negotiate more extensive loans than had been contemplated.

Screws Speaks


 Senator Mike Screws of Montgomery followed upon the speech of Senator Crumpton and made in the course of his remarks some of the finest points of the day The young senator's popu- larity in his home town was shown by the burst of applause which greet ed him as he arose. The plaudits were so pronounced that he could not pro- ceed with his speech for fully three minutes.
 Addressing himself to Senator Crump- tons references to Maine and to Indi- ana, Senator Screws stated that ex- Governor Handley of the last named state had been defeated because of his prohibition views, and that the gover- nor just elected in Maine was put in office on a platform to endeavor to wipe prohibition out of the constitution of that state.
 Judge Screws explained at length the steps which had led up to the present fight. After recounting the two ex- periences through which the state had gone, he plead eloquently for the Parks local option bill. He hotly repudiated the "vile islanders" of the leader of the Anti-Saloon league who had in- sinuated that the senate could be cor rupted. Like an unclean bird," said Judge Screws, "he has befouled his own nest Now to whom can he refer?
 Certainly he does not refer to us local optionists, for he says we have certainly got them unless they buy us out Has he then no more confi- dence in his own men than to think that they can be purc5ased"
 Senator Screws at the conclusion of his address was gives an ovation aa

 Reference was made by the speaker to the apparent condition that only the cities of Montgomery and Mobile de- sired the saloon. The rest of the state, he said, wanted dispensaries or prohi- bition.

RESORT and CITY are LINKED DGETHERb TELEPHONE

Telephone service, linking together city and country and shore,
is never more appreciated than during the summer months.
While the business man is confined to his desk in the city, the
telephone keeps him in touch with wife and family, though they
may be many miles away. surnmering at some pleasant resort.
During his own vacation the business man relies upon the tele-
phone. He is free from care, for he knows that he can be reached
at one by telephone should important matters require his attention.
At the vacation home also, the telephone proves so convenient
in arranging games and outings with friends and ordering sup
plies from the distant markets.
All this is possible because Bell Telephone service is universal.
