PHOENIX IS NOWI
 ON WIRE MAP
Not Only is This City I'm portant Toll Center, But Telegraph Repeating Sta tiOn Has Also Been Els tabliShed

Two important announcements are made in connection with the recent visit to Phoenix of C. F. StrattOn, di- vision general manager of the Noun tain States Telephone and Telegraph company with headquarters in Fl PasO and the presence here a this time of F G. wilson, supervisor of leased wire service of the company with headquar- ters in Denver. The first is that PhOe- nix is now the principal toll station between Los Angeles and Fl PasO. no longer being side tracked by the way of MaricOpa. and the second that Phoe- nix is now one of three telegraph re- beating stations between Chicago and Los Angeles. the others being Denver and Fl Paso.
 Incidentally Manager Stratton stated when here that he was diverting every cent of money he can secure for his division to the improvement of the service and equipment in Arizona, with particular reference to Phoenix. AL ready vast improvements have been made to the local service and equip ment and great sums of money are be- ing spent and will be spent in the in- stallation of through copper circuits wherever the toll lines extend to the end that the very best possible toll ser vice may be given. It is the prediction of MT StrattOn that the day is not very far distant when conversation may be carried on with stations in Los Ange- les. san Francisco. Fl Paso and other equally distant points with just as much clearness as now obtains in the local service.
 Today, says MT Stratton. Phoenix has two direct copper. metallic circuits cut in on the main line, and a third is in the process of installation. No longer is it necessary in order to get con- nection with Tucson. Fl PasO, Yuma or Los Angeles. to depend upon the Maricopa station. the connection being made direct from the local long dis tance office without plugging in" at MaricOpa.
 We haven't got the local system down to a state of perfection and we never will" said Mir. Stratton, "but perfection will always be our aim. It makes no difference how good a sys tenn our company may have in any town, it will never be entirely satis factory to me. I am always looking for something better.

YOUNGSTER LOSES THREE
 FINGERS IN ELEVATOR
Clyde Mcclellan Has Accident on Second Anniversary of Former
 Similar Mishap

The thirteenth day of the month ot August is an unlucly day for Clyde Mcclellan, at least he thinks so, from his past experiences. It has happen ed somehow also that on each of around some sort of machinery at the tune of the injury. Today the young fellow is carrying around a badly bandaged hand in which band ages are three spliced and grafted fingers. all of which happened on the thirteenth of this month, which was not Friday. either. and to all of W hich there hangs a story.
 Mcclellan, who lives at 100 South Ninth avenue, is employed at Gold waters, and was riding on the elevat- when one hand got caught in the wheel and wire rope, cutting off three fingers This was about half Fast one o'clock Dr. MonicaI was called and dressed the wounds and Clyde went home for the rest of the afternoon.
 It happens that exactly two years ago, when employed by the Hassa- yampa Creamery, Clyde got one arm caught in the machinery there, and it was broken. The young fellow de- teenth of August shows up he will beat it for a swimming hole and never be around machinery It's ali right on every other day but the thirteenth of August

and out of Phoenix l want to see that i absolutely adequate to the needs of 1 this section. l am striving to improve the toll service to the extent that it | will meet all the requirements of this section. Probably the most important change 1 have made is the placing of Phoenix on the main line of our toll
 system so that today there are two
 direct wires out of Phoenix for long
 distance business and a third is in the
 process of installation This is a cop
 per circuit and means that as nearly
 perfect service as is Obtainable will be
 given.
 Every penny I can secure for i'm pr0Vements in my division I am spend
 ing in Arizona and l intend to continue this until the system is on a par with any in the country. I believe that to- day Phoenix has as good a local system as any city of it's size in the United StateR"
 With relation to the esta ablshment of repeating telegraph station at, PhOe nix MT. Wilson said yesterday:
 Phoenix is now station for the re- beating of telegraph service between Chicago and Los Angeles. The tele- phone lines are used without inter ference with the telephone service The leased wire service we extend passes Phoenix. These wires carry Associated Press and others news ser vice business direct from Chicago, | Denver, Fl Paso and Phoenix 1 to the coast. I am here just now in i specting that portion of the system in | use here and making such improve ! nents as the conditions warrant Tn 1! the east, middle west and on the coast, | Phoenix will through the location of ! this station here. become known as one | of the important telegraph centers of | the southwest"

HORRORS OF MINE
IN WEST VIRGINIA
SENATORIAL COMMITTEE ARE
ksToNlsHED AT TESTIMONY
PRESENTED.
MACHINE GUNS RAKE STRIKERS
CAMP AT HOLLY GROVE.
Operator is Said to Have Ordered
Train to Back Up to Give
Them Another Round"

The senate committee investigating
the coal mine strikes in West Virginia
spent an entire day in hearing evil
dence of a battle fought at the village
Of Holly Grove where a strikers camp
was located. The committee sat back
astounded at the testimony of Lee Cal
win, mine guard, who was one of the
men on an armored train which fired
on the camp.
According 10 Calvin's story which
was corroborated by other witnesses,
as The train came up to Holly Grove
stream of fire from two machine
guns was turned on the camp and con-
tinued to- sweep it until the train
passed. The firing from the train is
alleged to have taken place before any
shots were fired from the tents. Cal
vim further states that an operator by
the name Of Quint Morton came run
ming through the car after the train
had passed and shouted an order to
back up the train and give them an
other round. but that the sheriff had
refused to do so on account OF the wo-
men and children in the camps.
Pale-faced women and men who
showed the traces of years of ardu-
Gus toll digging coal from the West
Virginia mountains, told the commit
tee their side of the controversy.
1t was tale of a peaceful commu-
nifty of happy, contented people, trans
formed into theater of war, and the
members OF the senate committee set
back, with startled chances, as wit
the strike.
