General Plan for Forcing Reduction
in Rates Cities Complain
Monopoly Created I'm
lawfully.

Topeka, June 27.--A general fight
against the Missouri & Kansas tele-
phone company and alleged increases
in rates was started before the Kan.
sas public utility board today. The
first complaint was filed by wichita,
and 1t is asserted that every city
where the Bell has purchased the
independent company and now has
monopoly Of the business, win file
intervening petitions in, a general
plan to force reduction Of the
rates and the establishment OF a
general uniform basis for all the
cities Of the state.
The wichita independent plant
was one of the first purchased by
the Bell interests. The independent
business rate had been $3.50 d
month while the Bell rate had been
So when the two lines were in op-
Grafton. Now the Bell rate for the
same class Of telephone is "a a
month. In Topeka the party line
residence rates is sixty cents higher
than in wichita, with about the
same number of telephones in serv-
ice.
The complaint of the cities is that
the absorption of the independent
lines has created monopoly which
has brought about an unlawful in
crease in rates for the service and
little improvement in the service
given.

SENSATIONS in

Congress to Investigate Truth OF the
Statement Charging Grossest
Lobbying OF the Manu-
facturers.

washington June 3O.-Further
sensations In the senate's lobby In
vestigation were foreshadowed to-
day when It became known that a
subpoena had been served upon Mar
tin M. Mulhall of Baltimore. re-
ported to have been for many years
the active "field agent" and lobby
list of the National Association of
Manufacturers. The subpoena was
ordered by Chairman overman Of
the lobby committee after represen-
tations had been made to him that
Mr.. Mulhall was willing and able
to give the committee important
facts regarding attempts to influ-
ence legislation, to elect or defeat
candidates for congress and to con-
troll the makeup of committee in
congress. A sergeant-at-arms Of
the senate served the subpoena up
on Mr.. Mulhall late last night in
washington.
The nature and extent of disclos-
ures expected were outlined in an
article published today under the
sworn signature of Mr.. Mulhall In
the New York World and Chicago
Tribune. The statement purports to
be Mulhall's personal history as the
representative from 1908 to 1912
of the National Association of Man
ufacturers and bristles with the
names OF congressman whom he al
leges were "subservant" or who
were punished for their opposition
to legislation favored by the asso-
citation.
The allegations that he had help
ed to defeat congressman who OPP
posed the interests of the manufac-
furers that this organization had
spent thousands of dollars to elect
congressman expected to be sympa-
4hetic to their influences; that he
had aided in getting favorable mem
bers on committees that handled la
Dor legislation; and that his asso-
eIAtes had used great efforts to eff
feet the establishment Of federal
tariff commission in 1908 as a
means OF delaying tariff revision,
are contained in the long article
under Mr.. Mulhall's name.
The writer said he had spent more
than 100000 in lobbying; that he
HAD conducted state and congression-
q campaigns; helped to break up
labor unions and had personal
knowledge Of the extent to which
SnfIuence exerted by his associates
had swayed legislators and legisla-
7lOn.
s'The lobby investigation has gone
1ar beyond its original scope" said
Chairman Overman, land ] do not

20 ask more power from the senate
md to go into every phase Of there
markable situation that has been

out in the open and take the re-
sponsibility for the story that the
Newark Evening News is not
ashamed anonymously to accredit to
him.
As to Former U. $. Senator Smith.
your anonymous informant in
sinuates that there was vacant
chair at the luncheon table reserved
for former United States Senator
James Smith, jr. This is too absurd
to need reply, and evidently the
News office discovered it, for in your
issue of October 90 you intimate in
another story the vacant chair was
reserved for former Governor Fort.
Permit me to say that neither former
Governor Fort nor former United
States Senator Smith. jr., was invited
to the luncheon, nor was the name OF
either mentioned at the luncheon, so
far as 1 know. You say that it was
declared that the men We're called
together to raise a fund of 100000 to
elect Governor Stokes. This is a de-
liberate falsehood. and I ask you to
produce the man who made this
statement.
You say that the men at luncheon,
who were to raise this fund of $780, 900,
were not to do so on the grounds of
political partizanship, but on the
ground that their interests would be
safe in Mr. Stokes's hands. This Is
another Islander that calls for the pro-
duction of the anonymous informant
who finds a mouthpiece in the New
ark Evening News.
The News's ase Methods.
Every instinct of decency and hon
4 l. \
high-class Journalism, points to the
baseness of your methods to bolster
up a losing cause. Either produce
your informant, who shall be made to
prove the truth or the untruth of his
information, or present the truth
yourself in any way you may be able
to do so of the statements you have
put in his mouth. You must do
either one of these things or be pill
loried in the mind of every fair-mind-
ed reader you possess as a newspaper
with little regard for truth and hon
orable dealing.
THE luncheon was an informal af-
fair, and was incidental to the fact
that Mr.. Stokes was to speak in
Newark on the evening of the day on
which the luncheon took place.
II most respectfully ask that you
give this letter the same prominence
in your paper that you gave to the
original article. If you will not do
this, | hereby apply for a half-page

Court of Appeals Refuses Peti.
ton, of Insurance Company's
Minority Stockholders.

TRENTON, Oct 25.-The Court of
Errors and Appeals yesterday, in
an opinion by Justice Garrison. dis
missed an appeal of minority stock
holders to stay the appraisal of the
stock of the Prudential Insurance
Company of America. The appeal
was filed Monday. July 81 Under
authority of an act of the last Legis-
lature the company is to change its
charter from stock to mutual in
Surance company.
Former United States Senator
James Smith, jr., former Governor
John Franklin Fort and former Post
master General William NJ. Johnson
were appointed appraisers by Chan
cellor Walker.
The Errors Court decision in dis
missing the appeal will not dispose
of the efforts of the minority stock
holders to stop the work Of the APP
praisers. Justice Garrison points out
that recourse may be had in the Su-
preme Court by writ of certiorari
to review the commissioners appoint
ment by Chancellor Walker. The JUS
tice comments upon the fact that the
appeal from the appointment of the
appraisers by the chancellor is taken
directly to the Court of Errors.

P. {. CONVENTION
ENDS IN DEADLOCK
Bishops and Deputies Equally
Determined Not TO Yield on
Negro Question.

NEW YORK. oct. Enclosing
hours of the general convention of
1918 of the Protestant Episcopal
Church found the two houses of the
church struggling today to break the
deadlock over the negro question.
They had less than six hours to do
so, having agreed to adjourn at 2:3O
p. m.
A conference committee consisting
of three deputies and three bishops
labored throughout the morning to
reach an adjustment and save the
situation from being left where it
was at the close of the 1910 conven-
ton.
whether the house of bishops should
withdraw from it's announced pur-
pose to create a separate bishop
ric for negroes of the South with the
appointment Of q negro. bishop, or
whether the house of deputies should
recede from it's intention to have the
matter referred to a joint committee
of deputies and bishops for report at
the 1916 convention was the problem
set before the conference committee.
All hope of breaking the deadlock
was abandoned at noon when the
House of Deputies, without waiting
for the conference committees re-
port refused. by the overwhelming
vote of 81 to 49, to concur with the
House of Bishops. The bishops were
equally determined not to recede from
their stand. Upon learning of the
deputies action, the conference COM
mittee ceased its efforts to bring
about an adjustment.
On the heels of the deputies re-
fusal to concur with the bishops, the
bishops refused to concur with the
deputies in two important resolu-
tions adOpted by the IDENTITIES early
in the convention. The first of these
was to the effect that two thirds
vote be necessary to change the name
of the church; the second proposed to
eliminate from the Good Friday col
lect the clause asking divine grace
for Jews. Turks. Infidels and Here
tics" The bishops. by adverse vote
killed both proposals.
After disposing of the negro ques-
ton the deputies marked time wait
ing for word from the bishops that
they were ready for the joint deyo-
tional service which would terminate
the convention
