WORK | PROGRESSING
New Home of Telephone Com,
pany to Be Readiness in a
Few Weeks.

i During the past few days worl
has been progressing rapidly on tn,
new building for the local Office
of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Co., which is being cree
ted on the corner of High and Glas
cow streets. Shortly after tn,
purchase of the property from Mrs
Martin w. Smith, the building
were sold to Messrs. Geo. B.Nortf
and Samuel E. LeCompte, who had
! them removed in sections to theil
lots on Willis street.
AS soon as the buildings were
off, Contractor Andrew Murray, OF
Washington, D. c., instructed Mr.
John A. Lewis to have the eXcava-
ton work done, preparatory to the
| laying of the foundations, and as
| soon as this work was completed, the
| bricklayers were put to work to
put in the special foundations re-
| quired for such buildings
The building, which will consist
of two stories and cellar, will be
constructed of hard red brick sand
finish, and will have frontage on
High street of forty feet, extend
ing back a distance of thirty feet
on Glasgow street. The basement
will be used for storage batteries,
and gas engine for the purpose
Of charging them. There will also
be boiler for hot water heating,
and a storage room for coal and
light material.
The front room of the first floor
will be occupied by the offices of
the Commercial Department and
the Western Union Telegraph Co.
Another section of the main floor
will be used by the Plant Depart
ment for a terminal room, and the
wire chief will also have his desk
here
The second floor will be occupied
by the Traffic Department, and an
up-to-date common battery switch
board will be installed.
Another room on the same floor
will be used by the operators as
rest room when off duty, and
will be fitted up with rocking
chairs, touches and other things
which will go toward making this
room a very comfortable place for
the girls.
1t is the intention of the Tele-
phone Company to have the work
rushed so that they can begin in
stalling the new equipment for the.
common battery service. Common
battery is the name given to that
class of service in large cities,
which makes turning a crank to-
signal the operator unnecessary and
which Cambridge will soon be en-
joying.
The change from the present to
the more modern system will neces-
state much rewriting as well as
the replacing of all central office
and business and resi-
dence telephones within certain
radius of the Cambridge Exchange
The work, which has already been
started. will, upon completion, give
Cambridge a thoroughly up-to-date
telephone system, just as in Balti-i
more and Washington.
The Telephone Company now has
a force of men in Cambridge doing
preliminary work in connection with
the new system. 1t is expected that
all the outside work will be COM
pleted and ready for operation as

FRIEDMAN TALKS
OF NEW CURE

Plymouth. England, Feb. 20.-Dr.
Friedrich F. friedman. who asserts
he has discovered cure for tubercu-
losis gave an interview today on the
Kronprinzessin Cecilie on his way to
America to demonstrate the value of
his remedy.
II feel the first step I should take in
the United States" said the German
scientist, should be to treat cases of
visible tuberculosis in the presence of
American physicians / could thereby
accomplish the double purpose of in
structing them and proving the efficacy
of the use of live germs.
What 1 mean by visible tuberculosis
is fungi in the knee, for instance. which
are visible to the eye.
IT shall be glad IL any doctor or Inn
portant institution in the United States
will give me a chance to treat such
cases"

STATE HOUSE CROWD GETS
SALARY SWAG FROM SENATE

thus far has refused to grant them any
increases and has killed every bill of
that kind that has come up. And yet
the senate has succumbed to the log
rolling methods of the state house
crowd of political wire pullers and has
voted to give them everything they
asked for and more.
Some of the disappointed county of
ficials are saying that they have been
treated unfairly for this reason, and
that if any salaries are to be raised by
the legislature they must all be raised.
The legislature must not play any
favorites." one county auditor said.

TELLS OF GLASS CUT
IN CHASER TRIAL

The defense in the case of Paul
CHASER VS.. the Fidelity & Casualty Co.
of New York today introduced evidence
to show that the glass in the door of
the Chaser apartments had been first
cut from the inside and then broken
from the inside.
This was the testimony that was in
troduced by c.. r. Peck. the investi-
gator for the company. In view of the
fact that Chaser claims to have been
in Chicago at the time the fire start
ed and that the apartments were va
can't at the Time Pecks testimony is
interesting.
Attorney L. v. Cravens and l. l.
Bomberger had a tilt this morning
when Cravens complained to the court
that Bomberger had been quoted re-
peatedly to the effect that a sensation
would develop in the trial.
This lead to considerable bitterness
between the two attorneys The in
terest in the case is well sustained and
the defense just began the introduc-
tion of testimony after several DAYS in
which the plaintiff was presenting it's
case.

GOVERNOR ISSUES
PROCLAMATION

Governor Ralston yesterday issued
a proclamation calling for the observ-
ance of washington's birthday Satur-
day, Feb. 90 The proclamation fol-
lows in part:
George Washington always met the
task to which he was set. In youth.
as in after life, efficiency was his
watchword. AS the years passed and
the demands made upon him by his
countrymen multiplied he grew in
strength of mind and nobleness of
character. AS a surveyor he was ac-
curate, as soldier he was brave and
humane. He was loved by those he
commanded. because they recognized in
him a generous spirit and disposition
to serve his fellow man. As a states
ment he was far-sighted-the emhodi-
ment of wisdom
Beyond doubt he is the sublimest
character in American history. The
flaming sword, turning in every dfrec-
ton, guarded no 1aore securely the
gate of Paradise than the principles
and virtues of Washington shield our
national life from foes within and from
foes without.

JUDGES OFF
THE BENCH

Says BILLY" Blodgett in the Indian
apolis in the Indianapolis News: Judge
Harry Nicholson, of Crown Point, who
has the reputation of performing more
marriage ceremonies than any person
in Indiana, is once more the guest of
the Lake county bunch, which has been
camping here since the Legislative
session began. Judge Nicholson is an
exceedingly popular chap wherever he
goes and 1t was noticeable that he made
a number of new acquaintance just as
soon as he landed in the Legislative
halls. And they were all well dressed,
too. Judge Nicholson has taken the
place of Jim Barnett. of Hammond, who
went home to get a new supply of ball
looms"

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

n
indianapolis. Ind, Feb. 2o.-Llber-
atty that ran riot caused the senate,
yesterday afternoon, to raise the sal
airy OF every man, woman and child
that would accept a salary boost en- q
gift. 1t was a case where unless
man was fast runner he was caught
and compelled to accept an increase in
his salary at the hands of the senate.
The senate even raised salaries where
the parties had not even asked for
them. For instance, it raised the sal
aries of supreme court judges from
$4,000 to $500 year, and then went
further and increased the salaries OF
the appellate court judges to the same
figure. These men, on the surface, had
not eve masked for increases, although
it is known that they worked an un-
foreground lobby system to get the in
creases
The senate also increased the salary
of an assistant attorney general where
no increase had been asked. 1t also
increased the salary of everybody in
the office of the secretary of state,
which increases had been turned down
by the house. 1t increased the sal
aries of the assistant deputy clerk of
the supreme court from $1,000 to $500
a year and of a stenographer in the
same office from $3.50 to 5000 a year.
1t boosted the salary of the custo-
dian of the state house $1,000 year
and gave him an assistant custodian at
1.200 year, both of which the house
had refused to do.
withdraw Needed support.
And then the senate turned around
for
maintenance of the state food and
drug department from $4,000 to $751;
600 year to cripple that very valuable
department in its crusade against dis
| honest dealers in impure food and
drugs. 1t also reduced from $4,000 to
So. 900 the appropriation for the support
