BurIesOn to Seek Public
Opinions on Federal Control
of Telephone and Telegraph

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Post-
master-General Burleson has an
nounced that opinions of economists
and authorities on public utilities, as
well as of officials of corporations that
would be affected, would be sought
before his department reached final
decision on the proposed acquisition
by the government of telegraph and
telephone systems.
Although a tentative draft of a bill
to carry out this proposal has been
nrepared Mr. Burleson's statement to-
day pointed out that Government
ownership of telegraphs and tele-
phones cannot yet be regarded as an
administration measure" The state.
ment says President Wilson has eX.
pressed no opinion or intention re
garding it, and points out that carr
will be taken to secure impartial and
original investigation and considera
tion on the part of those who may
wish to reach their own conclusions
in their own way as to the desir-
ability and practicability of govern
ment ownership Of the electrical
means of communication"
With this purpose in view the Sem
ate has had the report of the special
committee appointed by the postoffice
department to investigate the ques-
ton % government ownership printed
as a public document for general dis
tribution.

You May Attain the Natural Figure
With the New Memo COrSets

No longer is there an impossible chasm
between style and comfort in corseting The
two have been ingenously joined in the Memo
Kopservice construction, which is virtually two
corsets in one.
The corset body in front being free from
the influence of the corset skirt and hose sup
porters, is self-adjusting and remains in its
proper place, no matter what pose the wearer
may assume.
The corset skirt, which hangs free from
the front of the corset, reduces the upper limbs,
but is made easy and comfortable by the wide
bands of lastikops webbing, which extend to the
extreme edge of the corset's skirt Price $500.

POLL TAX FIGHT
IN LEGISLATURE
Trenton League to Discontinue
Battle in Courts to Enlist
the Lawmakers.

TRENTON, March 9.-The Anti
Poll Tax League viii discontinue its
fight against the tax in the courts
and centre all it's activities in legis-
lative channels in order to push with
all vigor the measure providing for
the repeal of the tax.
According to the report of Anthony
SPAR, one of the champions against
the poll tax, there is little hope of ac-
comprising anything through the
courts, the Supreme Court having
dismissed the habeas corpus applica-
tion of Horace Hervey, through which
a decision against the tax was sought.
Mr. Spair said that he had talked
with several lawyers about appealing
the case to the Court of Errors and
Appeals and that they had advised
against such a course.
In view of this, Mr.. Spair urged
the focusing of all influence and eff
forts toward legislative action and
that if the Legislature failed to enact
the anti-poll tax bill, then take the
case to the Court of Errors to
exhaust every known recourse to
knock out the tax.
