morning held up II. Kuramoto,
proprietor of store at Fife, after
waking him from his sleep, beat
him over the head, and forced
him to open his safe for them.
Then, proceeding to the store of

safe and surrender all his valu-
ables. The men subjected him to

AGAINST
BELLS MAY
FALL FLAT

KIEFF, Russia, Oct. 21.-Re-
ports that the government is plan
ming to drop the case against
Mendel Bells are generally cred
tied today, but it is strongly
doubted if an honest effort will
be made to learn who tried to fix
the murder of Andrei Muchinsky
on him. The prosecution, it is
pointed out, is so ridiculously a
farce that verdict of guilty could
not be returned without outraging
foreign public opinion to the ex-
tent that even Russian official
dom would consider 1t indis-
Greet.

WITNESSES
TESTIFY AT
PHONE PROBE

Testimony before the federal
inquisitfon into the ways of the
Bell Telephone monopoly here
this morning showed there Is
more than one way TO kill compe-
tition as well as a cat.
Miss Georgia Stacy, chief oper-
ator for the Northwestern Long
Distance Telephone company,
which is the independent line, de-
clared the Bell company, since the
local Home plant has been dis
mantled, switches the customers
who want to telephone over the
Independent long distance line,
which is still in operation, over
to their own long distance lines,
thereby getting the business.
G. e. Ceder, of the Northwest
employment agency here, testified
that before the home phone came
the Bell service was awful, but
afterward 1t braced up and was
good. So did Tom Bellingham,
former councilman, who recalled
the good old days when he was a
city solon and boss of the stand
pat faction.
Tom devoted much time in his
testimony to discussing the part
the Tacoma Times played in the
history of the city hall in those
days.
