 the Bell Company

Commissioner Lane yesterday morning consulted with officials of the Southern Bell Telephone company, and after in- forming them of complaints of bad ser vice." which had reached him, obtained a promise that additional efforts will be taken at once to better conditions to such an extent that just complaint could not occur.
 In the afternoon. Judge Lane said; "l am confident that the service will be all right immediately. Following the going out of business of the Peoples Telephone company, the Bell company was forced to undertake a great amount of work inc.- dent to putting in new telephones, and making other arrangements for the ac- commodation of many new subscribers The officials of the company tell me that this work is almost completed and that everything will be operating very smooth ly in the immediate future"
 The matter will not go before the com .misslon until the city authorities be- come imbued with the idea that the of ficials do not intend to improve the scr vice, or that the company cannot cope with new conditions.

 IN NEGOTIATIONS

Ouchy, Switzerland. September lS.- Pietro ,Bertolini, former minister of public works and one of the delegates representing Italy at the Tureo-Itallan peace negotiations in Switzerland. dis cussed briefly today possibility of a settlement satisfactory to both Italy and Turkey being reached.
 The negotiations said Signor Ber- tolini, "are proceeding favorably and hope they soon will be successfully ended cannot. however, discuss the proposed terms. The Italian delegates have full power to conclude peace here in Switzerland. The long delay in the pourparlers has been the result of hay ing the earlier stages to refer the more important questions to headquarters.
 Signor Bertolini, who recently has been in Rome laying before the pre- mier and foreign minister the latest phases of the negotiations, rejoined his fellow delegates here today. He de- clared the alleged base of peace as publishd in the Paris Temps was a mere fantasy He declined neverthe- less, to specify wherein 1t was faulty,
 The question of sovereignty over Tripoli and Cyrenaica seems to be the chief stumbling block.

 Effective Flying

Cambridge, England, September IS The science of aviation apparently is to revolutionlze warfare. An official announcement was issued tonight that the army maneuvers had been aban- doned and that military conference would take place here tomorrow morn ing to adjudge results and explain the cessation of operations.
 This surprising situation arose from the fact that the rival armies had reached sort of stalemate, owing to effective air scouting. which entailed a constant change of tactics and made impossible any broad plan of action. series of minor engagements were fought today at various points and when night fell the exhausted armies still were in such positions that neither was able to claim 1t had an advantage gether that the only possible issue was a pitched battle at the bayonet point.
 The King again today was many hours in the saddle, watching the op- erations, which were a disappointment from a spectacular viewpoint
 The British army maneuvers began Monday and were scheduled to con tinue until September 20. On the open ing day the maneuvers were eharac terlzed by the brilliant work of the flying corps, one airship squadron and two aeroplane squadrons being at tached to each army.

HALL KILLS BROTHER WHO EMPLOYED HIM
Then Goes to Apartment and Shoots His Sister,
 In-Law

San Francisco, September 1s.-Ar- thur Hall, known here until today as Arthur Knable. shot and killed his downtown office late today, then went to his victims apartments, 15 blocks away, killed Mrs. James J. Hall. and committed suicide.
 The tragedy brought the first dis closure to friends of the family here of the relationship of the two men.
 Family quarrels are said to have caused the shooting.
 Arthur Hall, who was 20 years old, was an employe of the St Francis hotel of this city. James ]. Hall. S5 years old, was manager of the com pany. The elder Hall was slain while telephoning to the office of the hotel. The conversation was interrupted by the snap of the receiver on Halls end.
 Hall has hung up" said the hotel clerk to his assistant.
 After a wait of few minutes a bell boy was sent to Halls office and found Hall dead on the floor. a bullet wound near his heart.
 Meanwhile the slayer was approach ing the Hall apartments on trolley car Occupants of the apartment house heard two revolver shots in Mrs Halls rooms They found the bodies of Mrs Hall and her brother-in-law on the floor. Mrs. Hall had been shot through the heart and Hall through the head No outcry had been heard and there were no indications of struggle.
 It is said the Hall brothers concealed their relationship to avoid difficulties with the hotel management which might have arisen on account of the elder Hall giving employment to brother.
 While the quarrels between the brothers, said to have been for the most part about trivial matters, ire quently caused comment among other hotel employees, the nature of the dis agreement which precipitated today tragedy is not known. Arthur Hall was melancholy and cratic, his idiosyncra cies having been caused, it is said, by a blow on the head about nine years ago. Friends believe this afflictior drove him to commit the crimes in a fit of insane anger.
