Successful in Fifty Countries.


Successful in Fifty Countries.
"In approximately fifty countries of
the world-notably in Great Britain,
France, Germany, Austria, Italy,
Spain, Russia and Japan-government
controlled telegraphs now are In sue
cessful and profitable operation said
Mr.. Hitchcock in statement last
night.
'Ill many of the countries they are
operated in connection with the postal
service. These telegraphs serve an ag-
gregate population of 950,000.000, and
in every instance they have been
found to I've of immense practical bene-
fit to the people, in both promptitude
and cost Of service.
TN this country postoffices are
maintained in numerous places not
reached by telegraph systems, and the
proposed consolidation, therefore,
would provide favorable opportunity
for the wide extension Of telegraphic
facilities. In many small towns where
the telegraph companies have offices
the telegraph and mail business could
be handled readily by the same en-
ployes. 1t is evident that the separate
maintenance of the two services under
present conditions results in need
less expense.
First Operated by Government.
"The first telegraph in the United
States was operated from 1914 to lS47
by the government, under authority
from congress, and from many view
points it is desirable that government
control should be resumed
"a method for the acquisition OF
telegraph lines is prescribed in sec
ton 1851 of the revised statutes,
which provide that for postal mill

navy Man DEFENDED
BY DIVORCED WOMAN
Mrs. McReynoIds Testifies for
Lieutenant G. X. Jones at
Court Martial

SEATTLE, April s.-Mrs. Margaret
McReynolds, divorced wife of Lieu
tenant Charles S. McReynolds, the ma
rine officer who is the complaining wit
ness against Lieutenant Chandler K.
Jones, L. S. N. on trial by court mar
tial at the Puget sound navy yard ac-
eused of conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman, went on the stand in
behalf of Lieutenant Jones today.
Frank H. Kelley of Tacoma, counsel
for the defense. prefaced Mrs Mercy
nolds' testimony by a long statement
in which he said that the defense would
undertake to show that Lieutenant
Jones, who is charged with breaking
up the home of Lieutenant McReyno1ds.
had responded to an appeal from a vir-
tuous wife to protect her from the
brutalities of an insanely jealous hus-
band.
Kelley said that Mrs McReynois5s ard
her husband had quarreled years be-
fore coming to Bremerton and that in
Cuba Lieutenant McReynolds was un-
der surveillance for a time as to his
sanity.
Kelley said that Lieutenant Jones
had agreed to protect and care for Mrs.
Reynolds only after she had promised
to become his wife after she became
divorced from her husband with whom
she had said a reconciliation was i'm
possible.
Mrs. McReynolds said that her hus-
band told her that If she did not obey
him she would have to leave him. The
cause of the quarrel, she said, was her
refusal to sign the renewal of note
for $500 held by John Armstrong. an
enlisted man. She said she refused to
sign the renewal because her husband
would not tell her why he borrowed
the money.
Il was led to believe it was to pay
the hospital bill of a woman in New
York named Polly Stewart" added the
witness.
Mrs McReynolds was on the stand
when court adjourned.

PARIS. April 3.-At last one of the
chiefs of the gang of automobile ban
dts that has been terrorizing Paris for
the last three months has fallen into
the hands of the police.
Edouard Carouy. one OF the three
men most wanted by the police for the
killing of a chauffeur at villeneuve st.
Georges and the robbery of bank at
Chantilly March "a. was captured today
by Chief of the Detective Bureau Gou-
chard at Lozere railway station, in the
south of the city. All France has been
on the lookout for the desperadoes.
This afternoon Chief Gouchard left
headquarters in a racing auto with his
men, and caught Carouy in front OF
the railway station at Lozere, a suburb
13 miles out of Paris. Taking the man
by surprise, they surrounded and
pinioned him before he could draw
either of the two automatic revolvers
he carried.
The prisoner did not deny his iden-
tity and admitted that he took part
in the bank robbery at ChantiIly. where
$4,000 was stolen. as well as being i'm
p1icated in the murder of policeman
in the middle of Paris and the assault
in Rue Ordener last December
While the examination was proceed
ing In the Paris police station Carouy
took advantage of moment when the
attention OF the guards was distracted
and hastily swallowed a tablet Of what
he supposed was poison. Energetic
measures were immediately taken to
save the mans life, when it was dis
covered that the supposed poison was
a perfectly harmless compound which
a druggist had sold him In place of the
deadly preparation he believed he was
buying
Carouy exclaimed dramatically: Il
am going to die.' But the doctors
laughed and retorted; Not at all.
What you have taken will do you
good
Four detectives arc guarding Carouy
to prevent him from attempting sui
eide.

FREMONT, Neb., April b.
Miss Jennie Croker of San
Francisco is en- route to New
York city in a private car to
buy herself an Easter hat.
Miss Crocker was held up here
for 80 hours by the floods, and
is bewailing the fact that she
will not reach New York in
time to get her hat trimmed be-
fore Sunday.
While in Fremont Miss
Crocker spent most of her time
in seclusion in her private car,
but several times expressed her
self forcibly to the conductor,
explaining that because of her
delay she would not reach New
York until Friday, which would
be too late to have her hat
trimmed for Sunday.
