BELL AND WATSON TALK FROM
SAN FRANCISCO TO NY.

New York, Jan. 26.-New York and
San Francisco were within talking
distance of each other yesterday. For
the first time in history a telephone
conversation was carried on between
the two cities direct. The American
Telephone and Telegraph Co. COM
pletd it's first transcOntinntal line.
Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, in
ventor Of the telephone, was on the
wire at this end and Thomas F. Wat
son at the other.
Hello Watson. Are you there?"
asked Bell. Upon getting reply, he
said: Your voice is just as plain as
if you were in New York"
Bell and Watson were the first to
talk over the telephone. They con-
versed with each other over tele-
phones in different rooms of the same
building in Boston in 1875. Bell to-
day used a replica of the instrument
he had at that time.

The reason Is that the new law COM

What are these chanEes?' asked
Joe

sailors. These Chinese and Japanese
live cheaper than American sailors and
the steamship companies will now have
to hire American crews and pay them
higher wages. or else sell their ships
and go out OF business.
Another important ooint about the
law is that II will permit American
sailors on ships arriving at foreign

ships arriving at American ports. TO
quit their Jobs II they want to. Under
the old laws a sailor was not allowed

LADY PAGET SPURNED
AID FROM HUSBAND
Remained With Wounded Serb.
ians Rather Than Escape In
His Automobile.
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD.

MONASTIR. Nov. u Delayed Lady
Paget, who was captured by the
Bulgarlans at Uskub. made one of the
supreme sacrifices OF the world war.
Rather than desert the wounded Serb
ians intrusted to her care. she spurned
an opportunity to escape. and with prac-
tlcal!y her entire hospital STAN volun-
tarily fell into the hands Of her coun-
try's enemies.
The story became known here today
with the arrival from Nish Of Edward
Stuart. head of the American sanitary
commission. who left the Serbian capital

bands attempt to save his wife from
the Bulgars while the Bulgarian ad-
vance was within a few miles OF tho
town.
THE husband was at Nish when he
learned that uskub was about to fall"
said Stuart. He obtained a big auto
mobile. stocked 1t with some provisions.
and made wild dash over the rough
roads to Uskub to save Lady Pagct. who
was in charge OF a large hospital there,
His car sped up to the hospital Just
three hours before the Bulgarians actu-
ally entered the town. The last Of the

lie found Lady faget in one of the
wards personally directing the care OF
the wounded and urged her to 20 with
him without moments delay. She
refused. Sir Ralph. almost in tears,
begged her to leave at once but sho
gathered her stan together in tho hos
pital office and told her husband:
We owe too much to these men
here under our care to leave them now
when they most need u.s.
Sir Ralph kissed her good-by and
sped back to Nish."
Other Doctors Remain.
Two hundred Austrian prisoners who
were abandoned by the Serbs when
they retrcated from Uskub are doing
service as attendants and nurses at the
tskub hospital under Lady Pagets d.
rection, Stuart said. Among the doc
