HITCHCOCK WILL

TO Congress in Few
Days

Washington, Jan. 14.--Acquisition
of the telegraph lines of the United
States by the government and their
operation as part of the postal ser
vice, will be recommended to Con-
gress in SHORT time by Postmaster
General Hitchcock.
For a year or more Hitchcock has
had this recommendation under con-
sideration. After a thorough study
Of the operation of the government
controlled lines and postal telegraph
systems of foreign countries, he has
decided to urge the matter upon
Congress.
Should this recommendation be
Hitchcock said tonight. In
a statement, II am convinced that
it would result in lower telegraph
rates In approximately fifty coun-
tries of the world government con.
trolled telegraph systems are now
in profitable operation. In many Of
the countries they are operated in
with the postal service.
These telegraphs serve an aggregate
population Of 950,000,000, and in
every instance they have been found
to be Of immense psactical business
TO the people. In both promptitude
and cost.
Government Owned First Line.
The first telegraph In the United
States was operated from 1914 to
1S47 by the government, under au-
thority from Congress, and from
many view points it is desirable that
government control fhould be re-
sumed A method for the acquisi-
tion of Telegraph lines is prescribed
in section 52B7, of the revised sta
tutes, which provide that for postal.
military or other purposes. the gov
ernment may purchase telegraph
lines operated in the United States.

KITTY LEAGUE
MEETING GOES
FOR ONE Week
Lack Of Quorum Couses Adjourn
ment Of Regular Winter sss-
sion to Next Sunday.

= Unsurmountable difficulties due to
delayed trains and the severity of
the weather prevented the regular
scheduled winter weeting Of the
Kitty baseball league which Vas to
have been held Sunday afternoon at
The Halliday Hotel
The lack Of quorum, there only
being present representatives from
Cairo, Fulton and Vincennes and Of
course President Gosnel, who rep
resented the Indiana city, prevented
the holding Of business session,
beyond an adjournment being taken
to Sunday, Jan. II, at The Halliday,
when it is confidently expected that
a quorum will be present and cir
cult compact in Mform, will be
framed up for the year of 1912.
Weak Members May Be Found.
No doubt there vii be found q
weak leg or two in the Kitten that
has survived an existence of nine
years and Is now entering its tenth,
but Doctor Gosnel will undoubtedly
perform one, of his usual stunts in
the surgical line and the Kitten will
be found purring and scratching
around again the ensuing summer
Following the adjournment an in
formal discussion took place, which
took on a wide range, covering prin-
cipally the admission Of larger cities
in case two Of last years members
fail to apply for franchises at the
adjourned meeting.
Guarantee is Demanded
Another and very important mat
ter discussed, was the proposed in
PRODUCTION of an amendment to the
constitution providing for the de-
posit OF $3.50 in the treasury by
each club Immediately upon making
an application for franchise in the
league, the remaining $3.50 of the
guarantee to be deposited in April,
instead OF the entire $500 in April.

tility and schoolad with a view to-
ward entering the government ser
vice and later graduated In medi-
cine at the University of Utrecht,
one Of the most noted medical schools
in the world, DR. Scollena, Holland
er by birth and breeding, Is the guest
at The Bulletin lodging house. He
applied at the lodging house late Sat
urday night, after failing to find
work to keep soul and body together.
Alphabetically and with tears in
his voice the physician approached
w. e. Mcintyre, manager of the
| lodging house, and asked permission
to occupy spot on the floor of the
large room. In broken English the
man said, May | sleep here tonight
and tomorrow night? | have been
! unable to get work and want only
place to keep warm. | do not ask a
| cot Let the other poor fellows have
| them. All / ask is to have place
near the stove so that ! may be able
to keep warm
The evident good breeding and ed
ucation of the applicant impressed
the manager and he gave him cot
instead of the board, he asked for.
Talks of His Troubles
Last night DR.. Scollena talked of
his troubles He spoke feeingly
of the windmill, that landmark Of
his native country and his lack of
money to get the desired license to
practice medicine in the United
States. ooh, for a night of my be-
loved country and its windmills,"
he cried.
DR.. Scollena came to the United
! States in September 1911. He left
the village of Nieuwehorne, Holland
after he had built upaa fair practice

versity of Utrecht, in 1906 His

Miss MerinO is q bit out of the ordinary as vaudeville vo- calist for she dodges ragtime and sings music of a higher class ranging from ballads to the Operatic The ath- letiC act is fine Francis toys with the sixty pound weights and losses them about as. though there was no demand npon his strength, dropping and re- covering them without SWaying from his carefully poised position. Then he juggles the 100 pound dumb bell play fully and finally turns a somersault with it in his hands. Meantime the small man in the team. Lewis, keeps the audience roaring with his pantO- mime comedy. Weichert and Wolf, the Dutch comedians are there with line of nice clean entertainment that con- SiStS of singing, humorous dialogue and satirical acting. Weichert is the Dutch end of the game but the lady does her full part of the work and is master of the situation always. Both have good voices and know how to use them. The pictures are always good and new ones will be seen tonight
