felix's BANQUET At
new HOTEL Dixon
Delightful Social Event Given BY
Cambridge Lodge, No. 1912, b. p.
o. E., Last Night, at Hotel Dixon.

A number of the members of Cam
bridge Lodge, No. 1879, Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks, enjoyed one
of the finest banquets ever given in
this city, yesterday evening, at the
Hotel Dixon. 1t was the expectation
| of the Committee in charge of the
affair that the number of banqueters
would be limited to about sixty-five,
but so great was the demand for
tickets that the number was finally
increased to eighty, and at nine
O'Clock last night, when the doors
| to the spacious dining room of the
hotel were thrown open, this num-
Der of ladies and gentlemen entered
and took the seats which had been
assigned them.
The dining room had been charm
ingly decorated with the colors of
the Lodge, purple and white, the
chandeliers, doors and windows be-
ing draped with it, while around the
walls special effects were obtained by
blending the colors and special B.P.
o. E. insignia. The tables were a
vision of loneliness, the ferns, car
nations, cut glass and silverware
showing to splendid advantage, while
the white roses, which were to be
found on each plate, were a pleasant
surprise and were greatly apprecia-
ted.
The menu cards were particularly
handsome and were eagerly sought
after as souvenirs of the occasion.
State Comptroller Emerson c. Har-
rington acted as POSTMASTER, while
the principal address was made by
Alfred ]. Carr, Esq, Exalted Ruler
of Baltimore Lodge of Elks. The
menu and toasts were as follows:

Government Tax On
Telephone Messages.

AS for the tax on telephone mes
sages, Mr.. Lee H. Nichols, agent of
the Chesapeake & Potomac Co, when
seen this morning, told how the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. had prepared to collect the tax
as directed by the Government.
1.-THE preparation for the collection
of the 1 cent tax on all messages of
Is cents or over has been big job
for the Telephone Co." said Mr..
Nichols. Gin the case of public tele-
phones, with coin box attachments,
the tax of 1 cent is to be inserted as
directed by the operator in the quar-
ter slot in the coin box, by the per-
son who sends the message, and all
operators have been instructed to
arrange for this.
Special preparations for billing
regular subscribers correctly for the
tax imposed on their messages of Is
cents and over also had to be made.
4NCW So1lCSt1oh 1oot1hOo helo w W
prepared and new systems of &C
counting worked out. The Telephone
Company has advised all telephone
users of the new law and the methods
put into effect for collecting the tax.
Notices giving full directions have
been placed on all public telephones
81 vic
ed by means of a circular enclosed
with their monthly bills. This circu-
lar explains the method of making
the charge for the tax and gives a
digest of the law relating to it.
1.-THE law applies not only to all
messages on which the rate is IS
cents or more per message, but also
to all messages on which the total
charge, including overtime, amounts
to Is cents or more. Thus, while a
single call at the rate of S cents
bears no tax, Should the converse
be prolonged over period which
would make the aggregate Is cents
or more, the tax of cent is imposed.
''All telephone bills rendered dur
ing the life of this law will include
a oil service statement that will show
those messages on which the tax is
to be levied, together with the
amount of such tax.
''The law directs that this tax
shall be collected from the person
paying for such message or CONVEX
sation, and places the responsibility
for collection upon the Telephone
Company"

StraSsburg, Germany, Jan. 5.-The second court martial arising out or the serious incidents between the mil itary and civil authorities at Zabern, was opened here today when Col. Won Reuter- and Lieut.. Schad, of the 99th infantry, were brought before the mil itary judges on various charges.

 The lieutenant also led a squad of soldiers to 8, bedroom on the second floor of a private house and there ar rested a man who had laughed scorn- fully at the so1diery.

EVILS OF THE LONG WORK DAY Three Shifts Day Two For Continuous Industry.

haustion, day after day, week after week, soon results in a lower stan dard of life. No time or energy is left for the development of a heal thy home life which is so essential to the welfare of the nation.
 I'd. correct the evils of continuous employment in Massachusetts, a bill was introduced in the last legislature by the Progressive party of Massachu- setts which provided that:
 in any paper mill, foundry, factory or in any manufacturing establishment or mechanical or other industrial es- ta ablishment which is operating both | day and night, either continuously or intermittentIy, shall be- limited to work forty-eight hours per week, and eight hours per day.
 Tour-workers mean staIl employees who tend are employed for the pur- pose of tending machinery or appli- canoes of any description which are
 operated both day and night either
 continuously or intermittent1y.''
 ] This bill was defeateds One of the
 arguments used against it was that
 the extra expense of the three-tour
 system would drive the paper industry
 out of the state- Such an argument
 Is unsound. T doubt very much
 whether the increased cost of labor due to a change from the two-tour
 to the three-tour system in a paper
 mill representing as 1t does, think approximately not over per cent of
 the average value of the product,
 would be sufficient to drive any one
 out of the paper business. Further
 more. I doubt whether it is true that
 1t costs even that amount because
 I believe that mills that run on the Ieight-hour basis or three tours as com pared to the 12-hour or 13-hour basis. l produce more paper and better paper. due to the improved spirit among the
 men and due to the physical capacity
 Of the men to do better work
 It wouldn't take much better spirit
 or much better physical capacitv on
 the part of the men to produce enough
 better and enough more paper in any paper in any paper mill to make up 1 the difference between the labor cost
 of fhree-tour against two-tour sys Items. Furthermore, if it is necessarv
 for any mill in order to exist to em-
 ploy men 72 hours a week year in and
 year out, then the sooner that min Us removed from the state and the country the better will it be for t1,e
 men and women of the country.
 That bill ought to have passed and some time such a bill will become a
 law. The public is becoming more
 alive each year to the economic waste Of excessive hours of labor It will
 demand legislation to correct these evils because they will be remedied satisfactorily in no other way.
