"Mother" Mary Jones Taken
OFF Train at Walsenburg
on Way to Trinidad.

WALSDNEURG, Colo, March 2S.-In a
little room In the basement of the Huer-

jail and also as a hospital for city and
county prisoners. Mother" Mary Jones,
strike leader, Is now being held incom-

ers of the United Mine Workers OF
America are making every effort TO in
duce the military authorities TO transfer
the aged woman to other quarters.
A formal protest against holding the
aged woman in a place which they de-
clare is insan!tary, damp and poorly heat
ed, was made late today by John X. Law
son. John McLennan, John Brown and
Paul Paulsop, who visited Colonel Ver-
dec<burg at military headquarters Colo
mel Verdeckburg agreed with the union
leaders that the place was not as COM
Portable as the quarters occupied by
Mother" Jones during the two months
she was a military prisoner in Trinidad.
DENVER. March 23.-Adjutant Cen
eral John Chase said tonight that Moth
carly today as she was on her way from
Denver to Trinidad would not again be
confined in a hospital.
II shall either leave her in the county
jail at Walsenburg or remove her 10 the
county jail at Trinidad" he explained.
"I expect to be at Walsenburg tomor-

will stay right where she is
'I understand that Governor Ammons's
orders are Just the same as they were

While the limit of commercial overhead t,,..
had increased from strictly local to over l0oO rn
az early as 1898, it not until 1905 that conva..
tion could be had over long distance circu;t, :,
which as much as 20 miles was in underground coK.'
By 1906 underground talking distance had increases
to 80 miles. BY 1912 it was possible to talk und.,
ground from New York to Washington
It was then that the construction Of underpron,a
conduits from Boston to Washington was determ;n.s
upon not that it was expected to get thronA
underground talk between those places but in casa
storm or blizzard, to utilize intermediate secton,
connection with the overhead.
Our persistent study and incessant experiments
tion have produced results more remarkable si,l
We have perfected cables, apparatus and meth
ods that have obstacles heretofore regarded
as insuperabe both TO long distance overhead and u
derground conversation
Underground conversation is now possible ba
tween Boston and Washington, four times the lenph
of the longest European underground Line. This en.
abled the Bell System in the recent great storm "a

Telephone communication is established between
New York and Denver, is potentially possible betwesn
all points in the United States and by 1915 will bs
an accomplished fact between New York and San

t. M limo ~ human endeavor has the inventive
brain of the scientist contributed to the world
progress than by the creation OF the art OF teeph0h
of which the Bell System is the embodiment
When the telephone born nothing analogous
to telephone service as now know 1t existed
There was no tradition to guide, no experience to
follow.
The system the apparatus, the methods-an en-
tire new art had be created The art OF elect1cai
engineering did not exist The Bell pioneers recog-
nizng that depended upon the highest ehgl-
neering and technical skill at once organized an ex-
perimental and research department which IS no"
directed by staff of 500 engineers and scientists
including former professors t-graduate students,
scientific nvestigators-the graduates Of over ~ uni
versities
From it's foundation the company has contlnu-
ously developed the art New improvements IN telc-
phones switchboards, lines cables, have followed ono
another with remarkable rapidity
While each successive type Of apparatus to the
superficial observer suggested similarity each step in
the evolution marked decided Improvement These
changes this evolution have not only been continu
ous but are continuing Substantially all OF the plant
in use, including telephones, swtchboards cables
and wires has been constructed, renewed or recon-
structed in the past 10 years.
Particularly in swtchboards have the changes
so radical that installations costing in the aggre
gate millions have frequently been discarded after
only few years of use
Since 1877 there have been introduced So types
and styles of receivers and 73 types and styles of
transmitters. Of the 100000 telephone receivers
and transmitters owned by the Bell Company January
1, 1914 none in use prior to 1902 while the
average age is less than five years.
Within 10 years have expended for construc
tion and reconstruction amount more than equal
to the present book value Of our entire plant.
Long distance and underground transmission was
the most formidable scientific problem confronting
the telephone experts
The retarding effect of the earth the telephone
current often impaired conversation through mile
underground much through 100 miles overhead
Overhead conversation had its distinct limitations,
No possible Improvement in the telephone trans
nlitter could of itself solve these difficulties
The solution was only found in the cumulative
effect of improvements, great and small, in tele
phone transmitter lne cable switchboard and every
other piece of apparatus plant required in the
mission of speech

Atlanta, Ga, during the week
of November Q. According to
advices from Atlanta, delega-

The problems of city street
construction and maintenance
will this year receive exception
al attention as the construction
of high class roads now approx
imates the methods adopted for
street paving. Among the
prominent city road engineers
who will discuss this subject
are Chas. r.. Boiling, City En-

Haven, Conn; H. ID. Smoot,
City Engineer of Jacksonville,
Fla John Weatherly, Street
Commissioner of Birmingham,
Ala; and q. S. Brown, City
Engineer of Charlestown, w
Va.
Many difficulties have arisen
in connection with contract
work in the construction of
bridges and highways and it is
expected that the Congress will
devote much attention to ways
and means of improving the
methods and conditions under
which contract work is being
done. The opening paper at
the special session will be pre-
scented by John j. Ryan, Secre-
tary of the New York State
Road Builders Association.
Colleges and universities will
take an active part in "a session
to be devoted to ways and
means of fnrthering and im-

no market for this huge crop.
consequently the Southern cot.
ton planters are suffering from
a financial calamity just as
bad as our European friends.
Some one in Georgia suggested
a bny-a.bale movement, which
travelled from ocean to ocean
and the lakes TO the gulf. Shoe
dealers in every large city are
pledging themselves to buy II
pound Of cotton for every pair
of shoes sold from Oct. LIST to
Nov. lst. Clothiers and gro
cerymen are giving percent
age of sales to invest in cotton
at ten cents a pound. 1t is re
markable how this movement
has helped up the price OF cot.
ton and benefited our unfortu-
nate southern brethren. 1t is II
patriotic duty to help ;he cotton
planters. The balance" of
fareign trade is in favor Of this
country by three hundred mil
lions per year. Suppose we did
not export six hundred millions
of cotton per Year, the balance
of the trade would be against
this country by about three
hundred millions per year.
That would mean hard times
all the time. Yes, the cotton
crop Insures prosperity, and We
ought to stand by our southern
brother, and everyone who eau
should buy bale and hold it
for one year, aud he will lose
nothing, as the war will then he
over and cotton prices will be
much OVER ten cents.
