BAD FAITH BY
PRESIDENT
HINTEDA At
INQUIRY
Letter Read in Attempt to Show
That He Promised Not to Harm
Beet Sugar Interests.

WASHINGTON. June 15.-Over
the protest OF Senator Reed. F. R.
Hathaway, ST.. secretary Of the Mich
igan Beet Sugar Company. made pub
lie before the Overnap lobby In
auiry committee the following letter
from A. ]. Douglas, treasurer Of the
company, to w. H. Wallace. general
manager, following an address by
Woodrow Wilson in Detroit during
the presidential campaign:
After Mr.. Wilson's address in the
Armory last evening I had the oppor-
tunity of saying to him The people
Of Michigan interested in the beet
sugar industry stood ready to invest
millions of dollars more in this in
dustry. but before doing so wanted
his reinsurance toward this legiti-
mate industry
"You Need Not Fear Me-"
His reply to this question, which
was in a forceful and emphatic man
ner, was: You need not be one bit
afraid Of me, sir
4 don't believe that Mr.. Wilson will
take any steps that will annihilate or
retard a legitimate industry as. ours
is. He impressed me with his ear
nestness in this"
Mr.. Hathaway testified that since
the free sugar bill had been offered
the preferred stock Of his company
had declined from par to 30, and the
common from 90 to 30, with no pur-
chasers
Senator Nelson, who insisted that
the letter be read, said that he merely
wanted to show that the sugar in
terests had been led to believe that
they had nothing to fear before the
bill was drafted
Hill Lobby Is Denisd.
John H Carroll, of ST. Louis, gen
eraI attorney for the Hill railroad sys-
tenn, testified that his only activity in
tariff matters was the fling Of a
brief with Senator Stone against
placing a duty on creosote oil, which
Is used largely by railroads as a wood
preservative.
He said that the Hill railroads
maintain no legislative agent in
Washington, although they were for
merry represented by Charles ].
Faulkner. He said James ]. Hill and
L. c. Gilman, of the Hill system, had
been in Washington, but not in con
nection with the tariff.

H. S. Cole Refuses to Take Copies

September Morn" the famous
painting which caused New York and
Chicago to blush and finally had to
be draped with trouserettes, stirred up
a tempest in Atlanta Saturday when
H. S. Cole, Of the Cole Book Com
pany Whitehall Street, defied the
sudden edict of the police that the
beautiful maiden. must not be ex-
posed to the vulgar gaze of down
town shoppers.
For some days now the shy, lissome
damsei has lured the eyes of passers-
by to the book shop Window score
or more damsels, it should be said,
for copies hung everywhere make Of
the window a regular bower Of beau

Serene and untroubled the charming
young woman. brought into a trou-
bled life by the magic brush of NJ.
Paul Chabas. the famous French ar
fist. has gazed through her fifty or
more eyes into the hustle and hustle
Of Atlanta with a pensive gaze that
seemed to express longing for some
cool brook In placid Brittany.
Woman Clasps, Tells Police.
All unsuspecting, then, the maid
stood when Unexpectedly the blow
fell A woman shopper passing the
store took one glance at the fair. form

police
Detective Shaw, who has an eye for
art a well as other things was dis
patched to the scene. He viewed the
canvas with cold calculating eye.
Yes, it was very, very beautiful, but
and the but" sealed the lady's fats
as far as the police were concerned.
Shaw notified Mr.. Cole that the
young woman would have to keep
more sheltered quarters In Brittany
she could thus disport herself, yes
but on the main street of Atlanta, no.
Mr.. Cole was indignant He cited
art authorities to show the canvas

prudish. evil minds could see evil in
It. Shaw called up his superior, Act
ing Chief Jett

The Chief paid a formal call on
Miss September and branded her an
undesirable citizen-just as undesir-
able in Atlanta as in Chicago, New
York. Washington and other places.
For private inspection and appre-
citation she might pass, but for the
vulgar public. no.
Chief Jett ordered her eXiled. Mr.
Cole referred her to Willis Everett
chairman of the Carnegie Library
board of trustees, which also censors
the movies. Mr. Everett agreed with
MIR. Cole that NJ. Chabas had per
formed an immortal feat when he
gave Miss September life, but and
there you are.

to remove September Morn from the

CLINT of determination in his eyes.
That is a beautiful piece of ar
tistry. There is nothing indecent. or
suggestive about II. / do not under
stand that there is any ordinance
which can prevent me from display

Since the telephone properties of
that state We're not SO wholly identi-
fed with the Bell system and Bell pro-
gress as might be deemed best for all,
it was decided to round out our terri
tory by their addition to the Mountain
States group. Our experience, in
taking over these properties, was
somewhat new and, at the same time,
educational. Arizona is the only state
IN the Mountain States region having
a corporation commission with broad
jurisdiction over telephone properties.
and we naturally approached the ne
gotiations for the merger with some
trepidation. However a most salts
factory result has been obtained, with
the intelligent cooperation of the COM
mission, which has evidenced a keen
desire to work with, rather than for
or against, our company in the effort
to provide general and comprehensive
telephone service for that state.
TO secure that result it has been
found sufficient to explain with frank
ness and confidence, to the commits
sion, our aims and intentions, and the
methods proposed. 1t is only just TO
state that, somewhat to our surprise,
even in the short time since the nego-
tiations were opened, we have sue
ceeded in eliminating a number of
features of u business usually des-
ignated as irregular and discrimina-
tory, probably to a greater proper
tionate extent in Arizona than else
where in our territory. This result
can only be attributed to the fact that
the corporation commission law of
that state is administered in a fair,
capable and intelligent manner If a
like administration will result from
public utility acts in those states in
our territory whose legislators now
have public utility commission laws
under consideration, our stockholders
need have no hesitation in commend
ing this form of legislation.
In closing this brief summary of the
more important features of our bust
ness during the past year, | wish to
commend the loyalty and the efforts
OF our army of employees. Largely to
them is due the successful results of
the past year. To reciprocate in some
measure this loyalty and devotion. a
plan for an employees benefit fund has
been adopted, Which will include pen
sions. life and accident insurance. and
sickness and disability benefits. Much
space has been given to this plan in
the public press. so that it is unneces-
sary here to GO into it's details. I
only wish to emphasize that it. like
many OF our strongest business re-
sources, is made possible only by our
association with The American Tele-

Effect of American Silver In Asia.

In former years, when transport diff
%flculties between Kashgar and Rus
sian Turkestan were considerable, all
the silver from which the local Chi
nese tael coins Of Turkestan were
minted was brought from China prop
err by cart via Lanchow. For that
reason silver was scare and had Il
high exchange value in comparison
with that of places where the influx
Of silver was less restricted by physi-
cal obstacles. Now, however, accord
ing to the Indian (governmenD Trade
Journal, American silver is largely
imported via Russia, and the result
has been a local depreciation Of that
metal. Prices. therefore, reckoned in
the local silver currency, have been
on an upward grade, and as this con-
dition applies to all commodities alike
local produce as well as foreign
~goods-the price Of Turkestan imports
from India has participated in the rise.

l desire to call particular attention
to the fact that the figures previously
quoted, for 1912. refer to our system
as a whole: SO that no misconception
may exist as to that portion of our in
vestment lying in any of the larger
cities in our territory. These figures
c~onclusively prove that II company
is in a wholesome and prosperous con-
dition. With the rapid growth of the
past few years it is, or should be.
generally known that We have MAIN
tanned the high standard of financing
which so long characterized the Colo
RADIO Telephone company. Like that
company, the amount we have invest
ed in actual physical properly, is
greater than III capital liabilities by
a considerable sum-. This is of dou-
BILE advantage to stockholders:
first. in hat the value of their stock
is at once apparent. when the need or
desirabillty arises, for selling or
mortgaging their holdings when
emergency funds are required. 1t in
sures the ready market that all stable
and safe investments should command.
In the second place. it is our great
safeguard in the face of unjust attacks
which must constantly be expected by
public service corporations. 1t is our
insurance in any final trial of strength
between our company and those who
would seek to undermine it's credit at
large.
We have been subjected from time
to time, and must expect in the future
to be similarly subjected to attacks
such as l have indicated. But in the
fact that there is no water in our
stock, that We have no fixed charges
in the matter of bond interest, no
preferred stock, no abnormal charges
of any kind, lies our safety and our
strength. Our books and our system
of accounting are open at all times SO

MEASURING ICY RIVERS.
Methods Employed by Engineers Get
Exact Flow Of Streams.

-~oSS ! w" W SsU00UuOs
In order to determine the possibili-
ties OF rivers as a source Of power or
the extent to which they may be uti-
lied for irrigation. navigation or 9th
er useful purposes the first necessity
Is to measure accurately the volume
of their flows. For this purpose the
United States geological survey main
tains many stream gauging stations,
and its photographic engineers are con-
tinually travelling from station to sta
ton to determine the flow Of the riv-
ers at various heights of water.
Different methods are employed to
get at the exact flow of the rivers. In
some places it is possible for the engi-
neer to wade across the river, drop
ping In his electric current meter every
foot or two at different depths, and
thus being able to determine almost
exactly the fow.s AS the records
should be kept throughout the year,
many of these measurements can be
made only after chopping out Il hole
in thick ice. The photographer wears
nigh rubber boots which may come up
to his shoulders, but while he may
keep dry he is naturally under such
conditions apt to get rather cold. For
measuring deeper rivers trolleys are
erected and small cars run across them
from which the photographer drops
his instruments into the water.
In measuring some of the larger
rivers cables a mile in length are used,
the photographer traversing the entire
distance and making his s%oundings
every few feet. The results of these
measurements are later computed into
the number Of cubic feet per second
flowing down the rivers and published
in reports that are issued to any per-
sons who may be interested in irriga-
ton. water power d. other form of
stream development.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1913-02-19

does, both annually and from time to
time between annual periods. A large
number of our stockholders are peO-
pie OF small means, whose little all in
the matter OF savings is invested with
us. 1t is only natural that such in
vestors should feel timid and alarmed
when attacks are made upon the de-
pository of their funds. 1t is largely
to reassure the small stockholders
that these few paragraphs are written.
Because OF our association with the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company. there exists in the minds of
some an idea that we are more or less
a foreign corporation, and because of
this our receipts leave this western
country that we serve; that the money
paid for telephone service largely goes
out Of our territory. This is wholly
a mistaken idea.
Three million seven hundred and
forty-tive thousand nine hundred and
sixty dollars and thirty-four cents
81, 745, 800. "a was paid back directly
in salaries and wa e to employees re-
siding in our own territory. The per-
centage of gross receipts applied to
salaries and wages, is not equaled by
any public service company in the
country.
Other items, operating and main
tenance expenses, rent, light, heat,
travelling expenses, taxes. etc., are
largely disbursed locally. The large
number and proportionate holdings Of
local stockholders in this company is
SO we'll known that it will be readily
understood that a goodly portion Of
the amount available for dividends
vas likewise locally disbursed. 1t
will be very evident from the forego-
ing that the Mountain States com
pany is in every way truly local in
character and management and is no
small factor in the industrial health
of the Rocky mountain region.
One of the most salient features of
our past years experience has been
the rounding out of our territory by
the acquisition of practically all of
the telephone properties in Arizona.
| think it is generally known that this
state, since it's admission to the Union.
is rapidly forging to the front in all
those attributes which characterize
western development. The recent es-
tablishment of large irrigation pro-
jects has done much to enhance it's
agricultural production, in addition
to its we'll known prominence in min
ing and stock raising.
