LLOYDG NEWS SHOCK
London Cant Get Over Trlb-
une's Disclosures.
lBy cable to The Tribune.

London. Dec l5.-LondOn cannot get
over the surprise caused by The Trlo-
une's disclosure that David Lloyd
George. jr.. was associated with Lord
Murray of Elibank in a financial ex-
petition to secure oil concessions in
Central and South America.
A remarkable fact IS that nothing
ever appeared in the newspapers about
the doings Of this young man until
nov. The name Of his brother. who
has lust left school for the university,
is constantly mentioned as that Of a
promising Rugby football player.
The Tribune's disclosure served 10 re-
call the Marconi scandal. in which, II
will be remembered. Lord Murray and
the Chancellor Of the EXchequer were
involved.
In the circumstances. special inter
est is lent 10 the announcement that
Lord Murray is coming home at last,
as il was thought here that he was
hardly likely to make any statement
before he reached England. What the
people here want TO know is whether
Lord Cow'lray and Lord Murray are
going 70 take this defeat lying down.

House Measure Aims to
Acquire Phone Co.'S Wires
to Send kilograms.
100000, 900 ANNUAL
PROFIT ESTIMATED
Cost of Acquisition a Billion
Long Distance Rates To
Be CIT Down.
From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, Dec. l5.-After months
OF investigation. aided by employees of
the Postoffice Department, Representa-
tive David ]. Lewis, OF Maryland, CO.
author OF the present parcei post law,
to-day perfected his bill FOR the ac-
QUESTION by the government OF the
telephone systems of the country. The
bill will not provide for the immediate
taking over Of the telegraph com
panies.
The bill cannot be labelled at this
time an administration measure. but
MIR. Lewis's efforts TO work out sys-
tenn of government ownership of tele-
phone lines has at least had the good
wishes Of the administration. There
are reports that the administration
may 60 even further than Mr. Lewis
now proposes in it's acquisition of mes
saGe-carrying utilities.
For several months. it is learned. Mr..
Lewis has had a private office in the
Postofice Department. where he
worked in seclusion.
when the Lewis bill is introduced it
will provide for the taking over by the
government of the long distance and
local systems of the American Bell and
independent companies. but will not
contemplate the acquisition OF the
Western t'nion and Postal Telegraph
| lines.
! II is proposed. however, that the gov
eminent shall go into the business OF
| handling telegraph messages by at
taching instruments to acquired tele'
phone wires. using the telephone cop
per circuits for both kilograms and
/ telephone messages.
. II is estimated that almost billion
/ dollars will be needed for the acquisi'
/ ton. By purchase or condemnation OF
/ the telephone lines Of the country.
Mr.. Lewis will offer in support of
his bin a carefully prepared statement
o. the rate charges prevailing in this
country for telephone and telegraph
service. The American rates VIII oe

disadvantage ~ the domestic systems

,r,nent shall be conducted by the In

er,ment shall be conducted by the In
,arstate Commerce Commission.
II is proposed that the commission
shall appraise the value OF the teie-
nbone systems. the government mean
while 70 nay 4 per cent interest on the
stocks of the telephone lines.
When the value shall have been as
Contained by the Interstate Commerce
Commission the United States Is TO Is
sue 2 ner cent bonds with which to
purchase the lines. Stockholders are
to have the option of taking bonds IN
stead of cash for their holdings.
The Lewis plan calls for an ultimate
reduction of the local rates. with an
immediate reduction in the charge for
the long distance service performed. II
ia proposed to allow the local rates 10
stand until the new owners or inc tole
phone lines have opportunity TO ascc:-
tain the actual earning capacity Of the
property following the precedent cs-
tablished when the parcel post was put
in operation.
1t is roughly estimated that the gov
eminent should earn annually at Ieas;
S1OOOOO,UOO from the Bell lines when
operated for telephone and telegraph
services. II is held that the telephone
lines reach practically every section OF
the country and that there may be
competition with the telegraph com
panies without going 10 the expense oil
taking them ger. 1t is tentatively
proposed that the fiat rate for tele-
graph messages for distances Of 3V
miles or less shall be one cent a word
Mr. Lewis will advance the novel idea
that postage stamps may be used III
payment for government handled tele'
graph messages. The stamps would be
affixed to the message, thus minimizing
the cost Of accounting.

CHURCHILL TO GERMANY
Visit May Have to Do with Linn
iting Naval Armaments.
lBy Gable to The Tribune ]

London. Dec. 1J.-WinstOn Spencer
Churchill purposes to leave London on
Friday for Paris. He will spend the
week end in the French capital and
then go to Germany for three weeks.
II will not be forgotten that Mr..
Churchill. only a few months ago, re-
vived the suggestion that Germany
should cooperate in the task Of limit
Ing the expansion Of maritime arma-
mcnts by joining this country in the
naval holiday proposal. So far this
has met no official response, but ell
though the relations between the two
countries are now so correct and even
cordial it was received with something
less than cordially by almost all the
German press. and in some cases with
extreme bitterness. IL was claimed by
some publicists that the less money
Germany devoted 10 her navy the more
she would have available for further
perfecting and increasing her army.
II is in these circumstances that Mr..
Churchill is now going 10 Paris, whore
a new government is in power. After
visiting Paris the First Lord Of the
Admiralty will proceed 10 Germany,
and the course Of his visit will be
watched with interest from this side
of the North Sea.
Mr.. Churchill has not been in Ger
many since he succeeded to his present
office.

CHRISTMAS
THOUGHTS

very subtly. Sometimes mani
mate objects suggest sentiment
even more wildly than language
can do.
For instance, there is a Christ
massy flavor so pungent and strik-
ing about the fine assortment OF
individual articles at Gorham
that the suggestion Of holly trees
and Santa Claus is irresistible.
Maybe it is the power OF asso-
ciation-the relation Of beautiful
gift objects to the festival season.
or maybe it is the more subtle
thought of the designer expressing
itself in the language of Art.
For the time being leave out of
consideration the fine, big chests
of silver, the silver services, the
coffee and tea sets. and consider
only the individual articles, suit
able for Christmas presents--tor
example, toilet ware, Leather
goods, Umbrellas, Novelties.
The Gorham toilet ware is a
fine illustration Of the inanimate
object conveying sentiment.
Toilet articles for men and wom-
en- are distinctly individual and
are made by Gorham's in be-
wildering variety and beauty.
They are within reach OF any
purse, and any one Of them sent
with your card to friend on
Christmas eve would be suggestive
Of the season as a Christmas carol
itself. 1t is not necessary to buy
a full toilet ware set-you can buy
single piece if that is all you
want. 1t can be matched at any
time.
Corham 8, by the way, makes
specially Of its S. umbrellas.
Those for men at this price have
attractive natural wood handles,
those for women have natural
wood handles silve- trimmed. The
frames are stoutly built, though
very light.
The assortment Of Gorham
umbrellas covers every conceiv-
able variety and in prices they go
| to $50 and over. If you want to
see how much Beauty, Style, Char
| acter and Durability can be put
into an umbrella by expert max
ers, Just look over those offered
at Gorham
And in leather goods you can
find no end of fine things for
Christmas - purses, handbags.
cigar cases, limousine bags, trav.
cling bags, suit cases, jewel cases
and many more. You can get
these in any kind of leather you
want-elephant, lizard. buffalo.
steer and alligator. &c, &c.
Perhaps none of these things is
what you want. SO just by way
of suggestion, here are a few Of
particularly fine Gorham-made
articles that may offer just what
you desire:

Manicure Sets. Embroidery Sets,
Darning Sets, Bodkin Sets, Glove

At the present time. however, the

HOW TO GET CHEAP SUGAR.
Beet Growing Will Result In Big Saw
ing to Consumers.


Mr.. w. p. Willett, who is recognized
as the greatest statistical expeftJtoR
sugar in the country is authority foA,
the statement that the competition of
the domestic beet product lowered
wholesale sugar prices an average OF
half cent pound during 1912. More
over, he estimates that instead of being
off the market by the first Of the year.
as is usually the case, 60 per cent OF
the entire beet sugar crop was carried
over into the present year and that IL
will exercise an influence in the direc-
ton of lower prices throughout 1913.
1t is a familiar phenomenon in the
tugar trade that wholesale prices go
down every year when beet sugar
comes upon the market and that prices
10 up again as soon as the beet sugar
is disposed of and the big seaboard re-
Aners of imported sugar are again In
control of the situation.
During the Hardwick committees in
vestigation of the sugar industry the
examination of Mr.. Willett as to the
best means of insuring permanent
supply of cheap sugar for the Ameri-
can consumer brought from him the
admission that the only way to accom-
pIIsh this was to ENCOURAGE the bees
sugar indus ry to develop as rapidly ~
possible.
