19Oe-Joe Cans won on fou1 from Battling Nelson in AZ rounds at Guldss field, Nev. From the first round o9 this tard-fought contest, Nelson used every rough trick in his repertoire1 using his elbows. fighting in Ghe clinches and putting the negro at Sv- cry opportunity. The Gold u1astsr'7 adopted opposite tactics, and haScIeana straight punches s1ashed the "durabla Dane'' into mfncemeat, and frequently sent him to the floor. In the forlyg second round Nelson landed a blow below the belt, and Referee SneE awarded the victory to Cans on e foul. Nelson was the stronger of the two at the finish, despite the punish- ment he had assimilated, and could probably have worn the negro down 3 he had fought fairly.

Some of the Eastern association mag mates who are opposed to President O'Rourke are booming Dan O'Nei1 for president. These disgrunt1ed ones are showing the same lack of wisdom in this matter as in previous problems. If the members of this clique had been permitted to have their way the league would have disbanded long ago. These men opposed the admission Of Pitts field and New London, which have been two of the best paying cities in the circuit. They wanted to push through a rule that each club should take it's home receipts. Imagine how much of a loss Springfield would have sustained if 1t had to depend on it's own receipts this season when the Ponies were in the rut.
 The policy of the troub1e-makers has always been short-sighted- They can see only a, few inches ahead and are always eager to adopt some scheme whereby their own pockets will be en- riched, forgetting that the stronger clubs must make some sacrifices for the good of the league.
 Dan O'Nei1 is a, man whose personal ity has won him friends but he is not the type of leader the Eastern associa- ton should select. He is too fiery and impetuous As a, manager he was mo- torious for his acts of rowdyism and not a season passed when he did not assault some umpire or player upon the field Under his rule the, managers would have to turn their parks into battlefields instead of diamonds.
 Stand back and give him air. Skip per E1ey who was roasted by local fans until his skin was tanned, has been bought by Jersey City. He has been hitting over 400 in the New York-New. Jersey league this season and the In ternational club thinks he is worth a trial If he makes good the local en- thusfasts will begin to think they don't know much about ball players.
 Meriden will be here for a double header tomorrow and it will be the last league game of the season at NewfieId, a large crowd is expected.

WARRANT FOR UMPIRE
 ON ASSAULT CHARGE

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 3-A warrant charging William Brennan, the Ma tional League umpire, with assault and battery and melting a riot has been issued here on the complaint of Hen ry F. Russell, superintendent of the Art Club of Philadelphia, who asserts that he was injured by the umpire during the disorder which followed the forfeiture to New York of the game at the local National League park last Saturday.
 MT. Russell charges that Brennan. in his efforts to get out of the park, pumme1Ied him and knocked him to the ground, and that he was trampIed by the crowd.

Sam Langford Will Beat Johnson If
 Bout Is On Level

That Jack Johnson really means tc stake his title in 8 bout with Sam Langford in Paris next December is hardly creditable. Such a proceeding would be so entirely at variance with the tactics he has pursued that the mere announcement of the match, coming as 1t does minus sufficient req sons to account for the Johnson mo- tive back of it all, is hardly worth while giving serious consideration.
 However, there are plenty of ways to account for the. Galveston black S test move. TheA most probable is that he believes it will result in fore ing match with a white man. It is the practically unanimous opinion to-day Johnson is no match for Lang ford and. that an honestly fought bat tie would end with the title in the possession of the latter.
 As Langford is supposed to be in his prime this would mean that the various white contenders would have thedr hopes deferred for years to come. Rather than allow such a thing to happen Johnson probably believes that he will be called upon to meet a white man instead of going through with his bluff match with the Boston negro.
 It is possible that Johnson out of re- venge is now willing to sacrifice his title and his cherished wish to be the only negro to hold the heavyweight championship. It may be that he is in desperate need of money and can obtain it in no other way than to sell out for what his title would bring asd the bets he could cash. Or it may be that both he~and Ian gford feel that they need the advertising and have taken this means to obtain it.
 All these explanations sound more plausible than that Johnson at this late date believes thta he can defeat Ianeford on his merits.

Board of Directors-but not one Of
them has made any money whatsoever
out OF dealing in our stock. They have
all paid dollar for dollar, in cash. at
par. into the treasury of our comp
any, for every share they hold. and
they. have simply come into our COM
pany because they believed it to be a
safe investment.
There is, too. upon the part of the
public. q belief that the company is
largely engaged in politics. We mag
Inc this feeling is caused by the fact
that IN the past. simply from the
standpoint of self-preservation. cert
ain corporations were almost COMPEL
ed to be in politics; but in these days.
when the tendency is to place all cor
porations and trust affairs into the
hands OF a central body. such as the
InterstateCommerce Commission and
local state commissions, ETC., to deal
with the conduct of businesses such
as ours, being in politics, as believed
by the public, would be a foolish
thing and entirely unnecessary. This
is, therefore. to state emphatically
that we are not, either directly or in
directly, in politics, in any way shape
or manner, and shall not be.
We are going to attemp to give
you the entire story as to our rates.
We have been told, when stating to
some of the public that we proposed
starting campaign like this, that our
efforts would be futile; that our sub
scribcrs would turn out to be selfish,
and only look toward the end of get
ting as cheap telephone rates as pos
sible. We do not believe this. We
believe that the great majority of the
public are inclined to be fair, and that
it is not so much the question of what
our telephone rates are az it is that
when we make statement regard
ing them and show our true financing
that we shall be honest, and that the
public shall know that we are honest.
That when we make statement as
to our profits and earnings, showing
just where the dollar that our sub
scrlber pays US goes, the public may
know that we are not trying to de-
ceive them or keep anything back that
should be shown. When we honestly
do this and our position seems to be
just and right. we believe that the
fairness Of the public will sustain us.
We are going to set forth the in
herent difficulties of giving universal
telephone service. These articles and
letters are not to be piece or spec
ial pleading or adroit use of words,
but a clear, business-like setting forth
of facts. We hope before we get
through, both ourselver and the pub
lie will understand each other better.
There is at least no harm to be done
in trying to accomplish this desired
result.
1t is our aim to educate, p ease aud
satisfy the public and to be educated
ourselves. 1t seems to us that every
corporation has the right of self
defense, the same as an individual.
The public hasthe same right. Listen
to our defense and we will listen to
yours No problem has ever been
harder for us than just how we were
going to let the public know truly
about US, but we believe that no prob.
lem was ever more important to both

An Open Letter to the
Telephone Using Public

Denver, Colo, November 80, 1918.
The Mountain State Telephone and
Telegraph Company, in the consider
alton Of its future development recog-
nizes that its highest interests as a
public utility lie in establishing the
closest and most friendly relationship
with the public generally, and with
Its patrons in particular; therefore, it
Is the purpose of The Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company
through this announcement, to inau-
Rurate what may be termed an adver-
Using educational series of articles,
both in the newspapers and in the
form OF letters to it's customers. 1t is
ourhope that this campaign may mark
a new era in the relation of public
utility corporations to the public they
serve. We want this education to
work both ways that the public may
learn the truth about us. and that we
may learn how the public regard US,
and how we may fairly and efficiently
serve the public in other words, what
is just and right to us and to the peo-
pie, and to convince the public that
we will voluntary remedy any wrongs
we are doing, if pointed out to US.
We shall show you our financial af-
fairs, frankly and freely. 1t SO hap
pens that our financing has been of
such nature that it is easy for US to
clearly show to you this side of our
affairs. What we mean by this is, that
we have absolutely no water in our
stock; we have no bends, nor any pre-
ferred stock, and no mortgage of any
kind upon which to pay fixed charges
We have more invested in our plant
at its present replacement value than
our issue of common stock. and We
have no other stock issued than the
common stock There are no wheels
within wheels. nor companies within
companies, to absorb profits. We
finance ourselves from year to year
by selling our common stock to the
people, at not less than par, in the
states in which we operate.
When we tell you the story of our
financing, we will prove to you that
there never have been any fortunes,
large or small, made out of the manip-
ulation of our stock-in other words.
no high financing has ever been done
in connection with The Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, or its predecessors. The stock
never has had any speculative value.
it has been, and is now, simply safe
investment.
There is great misunderstanding
upon the part of the public as to this
side of our business. Persons with
Interior motives, striving for office,
and newspapers wishing to give star
ting news(see note below frequently
publish stories of how rich certain
officials of our company are. Right
now, this is being done in connection
with the new revenue tax. We sup
pose these stories grow out of the
belief Of certain of the public that the
executive officials of ourcompany own
the entire plant. 1t is absurd, for
these executive officials of our com
pany are merely trustees of the prop
erty, for the stockholders, and none
of them are rich men nor have they
very heavy holding of the stock. 1t
is true that certain reputed rich men
have large holdings of the stock of our
companv-some of them being on our

N ASHINGTON.-In great show
w case in the National museum five
Btalwart American Indians are repre-
Sented as illustrating the art or the in
dustry of making arrow heads. Their
workshop is the wide, stony margin
of a brook. 1t is an interesting ex-
hibit and the process of making ar
row heads, so puzzling to many per-
sons, is here so clearly depicted that
any man can follow it. At one side
of the case is the descriptive card, but
the descriptive matter being of con-
siderable length, few persons pause
to read it, interesting and instructive
though 1t is. 1t gives one pleasur-
able shock in reading this explanatory
matter to learn that this group rep
resents Potomac Indians making ar
rowheads on Piney lranch at that
point where Eighteenth street, in
Washington city, would cross the
creek" To find these savages among
groups of Indians and other peoples
from far away regions making arrow
heads here, near where so many of
US live and at a place so familiar to
many citizens of the District, is a
shock, but In most cases an agreeable
one.
On the descriptive card it is said
that "This group is intended to illus
trate the work carried on in the great
