Il only wants the phone rates raised
. trihe. They are not high enough at
present to swell the dividends Of the
local and the parent company.
It only wants permission to install
pay.in-advance slot machines oil over
the city. because people are not losing
enough nickels already.
It wants the people to bear more OF
Its earning expenses than they do now.
1t wants them to deposit o nickel
before they can get police or fire pro-
lection on an emergency call.
It wants the city to give It free
rein to carry out its designs on the
public.
II wants a great deal more.
What aldermen will sell out their
constituents to help this monopoly?
Penny telephones are to be estab.
lished In Detroit and there Is no good
reason why they should not be estab.

dispatch from Detroit explains itself:
Reduction Of local telephone rates

outgoing messages In excess OF 200
per month on single party lines. with
no limit on incoming calls are pro-
vlded for In an ordinance. on which
q common council committee began

From . learned "Dxpert's" reports
10 the City Council We learn that:
Telephone rates should bs raised
because the Bell Telephone Company
owns the local telephone company.
Because the Western Electrical
Company is also owned by the Bell
Telephone Company.
Because the local telephone com
pany Is obliged to buy all Of its equip
ment and necessaries from the West
ern Electrical Company.
Because neither the Western Elec'
trical Company or the local telephone
company would have big enough prof
its to suit the Bell Telephone. which
owns them, II Chicago people were
not pressed for . little more coin and
their telephone ratea raised.
Because the local telephone com
pany has increased its capital stoch
from the original 100000 to $4,000.
900 and s5,oo0,0O0 more In bonds.
Because the stockholders would moi
get big enough dividends On this I'm

Competition in the telephone field 10
necessary II the people are to get re.
lief from present high rates for phone
service.
Chicago Daily News editorial, De-
cember 10. 1911:
II has been the aim Of the telephone
company to do away with unlimited
service as far as possible and to re-
quire all users OF its instruments to
60 on the measured service basis. Op-
position to the measured service plan
Is aroused whenever patron Of the
telephone company Is made to pas
two tolls where one should be sum.
cient.
The ordinary person in attempting
to telephone to q railroad passenger
station, for example. Is likely to ask
for the wrong number for the purpose
of his call, for so confusing Is the
array OF titles and numbers In the
telephone directory that It Is often
difficult to decide upon the department
that Is wanted. Frequently the infor.
nation bureau at q railroad station.
when appealed to. refers the inquirer
to another telephone number In the
same building. This necessitates the
payment OF a second toll. Telephone
operators are careful to prevent the
second call from being made without
the payment OF second nickel.
Both the railroad companies and the
telephone company should do their
best to see that the arrangement OF
department names in the telephone di.
rectory Is sufficiently clear to enable
inquirers to call the first time for
the number they really want.
The city ought TO have a bureau of
complaints TO which appeals for the
improvement OF faulty conditions OF
service might be made by patrons Of
local public utility corporation.
The Chicago Telephone Company
charges a much lower rental for its
service in suburban towns than 1t
does in the city. Yet the officers OF
the corporation have the gall to say
that all OF the big gain In its service
reported at the annual meeting this
year came from the country. This. OF
course, is reason for raising the
rates. The following from the Chlca-
60 Daily News shows how the phone
people bank on the reports of the
city experts"
"Slight gains in revenues were re-
ported to the stockholders OF the Chi.
cago Telephone Company at the an.
nual meeting, although there was a
falling of In the profits In the city of
Chicago ITSELF This loss was due,
according to President Bernard E.
Sunny's report. to the constantly In.
creasing number of nickel a day.
telephones, the revenue on which ay'
erages $22.70 per annum as against q
cost of operation, he said, of $2s.64
as fixed by one city expert, and $25.2s
as fixed by another city expert. The
pecentage OF nickel telephones In
Chicago increased 90 per cent in 1906
and ~ per cent in 1911. The com
pany reports increased earnings In
the suburban division. which ofse,
the losses In Chicago"
The Telephone Trust doesn't want
nueh from the City Council.

PROPOSES AS JOKE; ACCEPTED
Girl Disappears, However, and Har.

by Loss.

Cambridge, N. Jimmy Ryan, a
Harvard sophomore. is conducting a
search for girl to whom he became
engaged the other night. and whom
he had never seen before. Ryan and
two others were neophytes at fra
ternity initiation, and were instructed
to ask every girl they met to marry
them. One girl--"the handsomest girl
ever saw"-according to Ryan. at
tracted the youths eve in WATERFOWL
square, and on Bonded knee he beg
ged her to be his. Much to his sur
prise and to the chagrin OF those In
charge OF the initiation the girl led
him aside and accepted his preferred
heart. Then. taking two little pend
ants from her ears she placed them on
those of the entranced Jimmy to bind
the agreement and disappeared around
the corner.
Ryan says he will find her If he has
to hire detective.

HIT CONTRACT LABOR
Prison Heads Think consicts
Should Work for State.
Some Of subjects Should Be Trained,
Others Used for Gain, Is Idea Adj
vanced In Reports Given at
JaiIers' Congress.

Baltimore. The contract system OF
prison labor was condemned In the
report OF the committee on prison la.
Dor presented at the congress Of the
American Prison association In annual
session here. The committee. how.
ever recommended the system when
no other means of employment could
be provided. believing 1t preferable to
idleness.
The employment OF prisoners, the
report maintained. should be directed
entirely by the state and the products
of this labor should be disposed OF by
the state.
The first consideration of every or.
ganization, the report continued
should be the training of the prisoner,
and, after that. financial results Ey.
cry prison should be SO classified that
certain group of men should at all
times be provided with work on farms,
roads and other outside work, and a
larger portion of each prison should
be employed on the state account sys'
tenn.
The committee believed It possible
for every state having population OF
two million inhabitants or more to EN-.
ploy all Its convict population In the
manufacture of articles for the use OF
state and It's political divisions.
James Fl. Leonard. superintendent
OF the Ohio state reformatory at

OIL Barge WoodhalI, Long Believed
Lost. Arrives at Trinidad, Accord
Ing to Message.

New York.--After battling for Ave
months on seemingly shipless ocean,
Capt Edwin l.. Smith of London has
arrived at Trinidad with the fifty-five
foot oil barge Woodhall. from Eng
lish shipyards. according to word re-
ceived by friends here. Smith dared
to pilot the little barge on her peril
Gus trip. which was proposed to save
the expense of towing. where dozen
other London shippers feared to try
1t. II was expected that the trip could
be made in forty days, but she met
adverse weather and was the sport OF
tho seas. In the meantime the boat
had been given up as lost.
According to the report received
here the captain found an American
stowaway on board, who helped to de-
plete the meager supply OF provis-
ions. During the last few days the
crew had to live on biscuit and half
a cup of fresh water day, as they
were unable TO sight ship to aid
them.

From the northeast Siachen pass, a
pass to Kashgar was found and new

is $4,000 feet high.
The sixth ascent was of high peak
northeast of Bilapho pass, which was
crossed in reaching the Siachen.
This was made on July IL. The last
500 feet of this peak was at an angle
of so degrees and each step was cut
on as surface of black ice. An extern

explorer to map out much future work
For six weeks all the camps were

favorable weather, to map the entire

OF CLIMBING
Woman Gives Account of Mar
row Escape From Death.
Guide Falls In a creyasse While Seal
ing Peak In the HimaIayas--Tak-
en- Unconscious and Dies Soon
From Injuries.

Paris. -Mrs. Fanny Bullock Work
man, the mountain climber, writing
from Skardu in the HimaIayas, sends
the first detailed account of the acci-
dent which gave rise to the report that
she had been killed by an avalanche.
She says:
We were crossing Bilapho pass at
about an $4,000 foot height when and
an Italian porter who had accompa-
MED me on four Himalayan expedi-
tions, left the caravan in order that
Dr. Workman might photograph us
In picturesque standpoint. After we
had been photographed the porter, who
was carrying the rope, strobe ahead
| was about three PAGES behind when
suddenly without word or cry he
disappeared, carrying the rope which
was the only means Of extrication.
II stood appalled, on the brink of a
blue hole in the ice and called to the
others, who hurried to the spot. The
head guide was an hour in advance,
Having only one extra rope remaining
the guide called down the crevasse
and faint reply showed that Chenoz,
the porter, who was far below, was
still alive. Six started after the head
guide, who was back In an hour and
half, when Chenoz was extricated
from an eighty foot depth.
He was still conscious, but there
was no pulse aid he was nearly froz-
en-. He was carried to camp and every
thing possible was done for him, but
he died the same night from shock.
He had not been expecting to meet a
crevasse, and the accident was due
entirely to his want of care. My own
escape was simply miraculous"
The letter describes the work of the
expedition on the Siachen or Rose
glacier, which is the largest and long
est in Asia.
During the nine days in July DR.. and
Mrs. Workman and three Italian
guides made the first ascents of four
important snow passes at two sources
Of this glacier, the heights varying
from 1880 to Fl 900 feet, which con,
stitutes record for glacial explora-
ton. On two of these ascents Mrs
Workman established relation of the
northeast Karakoran water parting
with Kashgar and two others and dis
covered two passes to the large and
unknown Kondus glacier. An impor-
tant climb was also made to the great
Silver Thorne plateau, more than FL.
