WESTERN UNION PRESIDENT
DOESN'T FEAR interference
AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW
Associated Press.

Associated Press
Washington. Jan. 20.-Attorney
General Wickersham has abandoned
the proposal TO attack the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company or
the Bell system under the Sherman
law. and has referred the entire sub
ject to the interstate commerce COM
mission for investigation and regula-
tion. A formal order will be issued
soon.
New York. Jan. 20.-In discussing
the relations between the depart
ment of justice and the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company,
particularly the status of the COM
pany under the Sherman law, Pres
ident Theo n. Vail of that company,
says:
I'VE do not think we have any
thing to fear from the attorney gen
erals office To be sure, his office
has been Investigating the telephone
and telegraph situation; but the at
torney general cannot think we are
entirely bad. for. since the investiga-
tion began, we have. with his ex-
pressed approval, put together Bell
and opposition services in several
large places where local authorities
and the public have expressed their
desire for such action. AT Detroit.
for instance, the opposition was
merged after approval by and at the
desire of all local and state authori-
ties and with the acquiescence of the
attorney general, and the same thing
has been done in other places of al
most equal Importance.
81 believe that the attorney gem
eral has found that the public does
not want two systems, and we hope
that fuller appreciation OF that tact
will lead him to leave the question
entirely with state and interstate
commerce, where the matter belongs
and where it is bound to go any way.
Last year the interstate commerce
commission assumed jurisdiction by
express authority of congress over
the telephone and telegraph compan-
les SO far as interstate business Is
concerned. That body. together with
the state commissions, should be able
to arrange matters satisfactorily tc
the company and to the public

BURGLAR GETS s72
At R0OM|NG HOUSE

The theft of n purse containing
81 so in money was discovered by
Mrs. j. B. Cover of the Argyle room
ing house this morning when she
went to her chiffonier to secure her
purse and found that she had been
robbed. Nothing else in the room
or in the entire house had been dis
turbed. and she is unable to con-
lecture who the guilty party can be,
although she insists that it must be
some one familiar with the place she
had been used to laying her purse
in.
Mrs. Cover spent the evening with
friends in the house and had been
to the Herman Hoesch restaurant
early in the evening with Mrs. Nelson
for supper She thinks that the
robbery occurred while she was up
stairs, talking to lady friends and
making some beds. The room which
was entered is just off the entrance
of the house and baby was asleep
in the room at the time of the rob-
berry
The burglary was reported to the
police, who, are Investigating the
matter. The purse contained $50 in
bills. Sl.50 in silver and some val
liable receipts and papers. Absolute
ly no clews were left by the culprit
and had Mrs. Cover not needed the
purse she would not have discovered
the loss so soon.

Male Chorus Offers
Its Services at all
Public Occasions

The Y. NJ. c. A. male chorus which
was organized about three months
ago, will give their first public con-
cert on Thursday evening of this
week at the First Methodist church.
One Of the objects of this club when
organizing was to have musical or
ganization in readiness to sing at
public demonstrations when music
was desired. The organization is
and has been under considerable ex-
pense which the members have been
paying themselves and the object of
the present concert is to raise a lit
tie money to purchase music, and
other necessary expenses. The pro-
gram is going to be an unusually
good one. as they will be assisted by
the Ladies' Matinee Musical club and
other local talent. The price of ad-
snlfssion Is very modest one and the
people of the city should freely en-
.cQurage this club by patrQnizipg
az On this occasion.
~ nlon's chorus will be available
on bub1id demonstrations. Fourth of
July celebrations, and in fact any
time they are needed.
The church should be filled to its

This note of warming was sounded

To increase government ownership

Mr.. Conant warns that attempts

could be properly asked by a bona

land after the timber has been re-

the argument made in the name of
the settler is the desire to acquire
the timber or other natural resources
rather than the soil itself. Ii seems
desirable, therefore,, to direct public
attention to the fundamental differ
