TELEPHONE MEN
 HONOR JOBBR s
COTTON, WHOLESALE AND COM MISSION MEN GUESTS OF TEL EPHONE COMPANY FOR
 LUNCHEON.

Business men of Little Rock are re- ceiving instructions in the operation of a city telephone exchange, in order that they may appreciate the compli- cations of such an extensive system. The lessons are accompanied by a monday lunch, with the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Go as the host
 First the cotton men of Little Rock, about fifty in number, were the guests of the telephone company The wis itors were taken to every corner of the plant, and saw the operation of a modern telephone system from the ground up. They watched the power plant, saw how telephones are assem- bled and put together, and on and on until they stood behind the gigantic switchboards and watched the nimble fingers making the connections. Some of the visitors even substituted for a short time, and in this manner discov- cred how easy it was to make an CT TOT, and marvel at the very few that the trained young women are respon- sible for.
 After inspecting the plant, the cot ton men were guests on the roof gar den, one of the most attractive spots in the city, but which is reserved for the telephone girls, hence it is open to the outside world only on state occa- sions. Here a tempting lunch was set and the telephone operators, by spe- cial request, acted as. waitresses. c. A. Lane, commercial superintendent of the telephone company in Arkan- sas, addressed the cotton men, giving them statistics regarding the busi- ness carried on by the company.
 On last Friday the wholesalers and commission men of Little Rock to the number of over 50 were guests of the telephone company, and went through the same routine of the cot ton men, but when they reached the roof garden they found spread which caused many exclamations of delight All the decorations were in blue and white, even to the cakes, upon which there were blue bells, with the usual telephone inscription. The ices were even in blue and white. The meal was prepared in the kitchen of the tele- phone exchange, and the operators again asked to serve, appearing in white dresses with blue ties.
 s. L. Poage, general manager, addressed the wholesalers, giving them figures as to the investment of the company in Arkansas and tell ing what the company was doing for it's patrons as well as for it's em- ployes.
 The speakers told Of the first telephone system, installed in 1879 by the Western Union Telegraph Co.,, which was transferred the following year to the National Bell Telephone Co. in 1880, and to E. c. Newton and Logan H. Roots in the same year Two years later the Southwestern company purchased the system. Mr. Lane stated that the company now has $6.000,000 invested in Arkansas,

lumbus. Prof. Lehnerts has travelled
extensively through the United States
and especially through the mountainous

OF the marvels of the Creator. He
showed scenes in the great western parks
Yellowstone National park, Yosemite

and deep canyons of the Rockies, the
queer formations in the Garden of the
Gods and the giant forests of California,
Oregon and Washington. He also gave

covered Greenland, illustrated with slides
OF the wonderful sunset scenery of that
country. Prof. Lehnerts is an enter

Herman Nagel, are circulating petitions
to get their names on the ballot. The
contest is good-natured one, however.
and will not engender any bitterness.
The term of F. H. Retzlaff in the third
ward expires this spring and it is generally
understood that he will again file for the
Office. He was prominently mentioned
as candidate for mayor in case Mayor
'Fritsche should have refused to make
the run. In the second ward the term
OF Theo. Mueller expires, although he is
the junior member of the city council.
He is filling the unexpired term of Christ
Ruemke, who died in office. Mr.. Muel-
Ter most probably will also file as can
dldate. An attempt was made to pit
one OF the younger polititions of this ward
against Mr.. Mueller, but they have not
agreed upon one of their number and the
scheme is liable to fall through.

GEM THEATRE SOLD AGAIN

Buying and selling moving picture
houses seems to have become pleasant
diversion in New Ulm, judging from
the way they are changing hands o.
late. The Gem theatre, opened les
than a month ago by the Misses Leen
has changed hands once more and A. G
Robinson of Mortified is now the pro.
prietor and manager of that playhouse
the change taking place Thursday Of
last week.
This is Mr.. Robinson's first venture
in the movie game, but he states that
he will give the public even better serv-
ice than they have heretofore enjoyed.
He states that if the film service is a
matter of money the patrons of his house
will see nothing but the best.
S. K. Leen, who was the proprietor
OF the Ruby up to a few months ago and
also interested in the Gem, probably
will leave New Ulm, but is undecided
as to his future location.

PAROLED REFORMATORY IN.
MATE WORRIES POLICE.

What to do with sixteen-year-old
Arthur Schroer is question which seems
to be bothering the local police officers.
They claim he will not stay at home and
behave, the reform school from which
institute he has been paroled does not
want him and to cap the climax the
jailor at the county jail refused to hold
him unless properly committed.
Last week the young fellow was picked
up by the local police and was being
taken to the Jail by Chief Klause. The
boys foster mother lives near the jail and
when the chief and his prisoner had
nearly reached their destination the boy
broke away and ran home. It is stated
that in chasing the boy the chief took a
shot at him, but missed. He finally
regained possession of the prisoner, how
ever, but not until the entire neighbor-
hood was in an uproar over the escape
and arrest. The boy finally went along
to jail with Deputy Sheriff Jahnke, who
had been attracted to the scene by the
shooting.
Stories told by the sheriff and chief
are quite at variance at several points.
The chief claims that he had orders from
the state school to arrest the boy, but
claims that it was a telephone message.
The sheriff and jailer waited until evening
for formal commitment and when this
did not appear the boy was released upon
advice of the county attorney.
Young Schroer's record is said to be
not of the very best and State Agent De
Witt, who arrived in the city Saturday
stated that the authorities at Red Wing
had failed in using ordinary methods OF
reform. He was paroled about three
months ago in the hope that change in
surroundings would be of benefit. He
has since then spent his time in a Wiscon-
sin town, at Mankato and the last three
weeks in and near New Ulm. The bows
foster mother has agreed to make a final
attempt at reforming him and he will not
be returned to the training school for the
present.

WIDER SCOPE OF JAP PROBLEM
SEEN BY LECTURER.

Montaville Flowers lecture upon 'The
Japanese Problem at the High School
auditorium last Monday evening, may
be considered the best number of the
lecture course given under the auspices
OF the Current News Club of this city.
Mr.. Flowers is a native of California and
his residence there has given him OBJ
portunity to study the japanese problem
from local angle not possible from a
distance.
The speaker gave history of the
settlement of the Japs in California, their
encroachment upon the business in
dustries of the white people until the
latter found themselves face to face with
the alternative either of leaving the state
or adopting such laws as would put a
quietus on the ambitions of the; little
yellow men. The famous alien law of
California was the result and would have
ended the Japanese encroachment effect
ually so far as local conditions were con-
cerned. The Japs by no means accepted
the authority of the state of California,
however, and the underground channels
OF diplomacy at Washington changed the
question from local issue to a national
one. Pressure was brought to bear upon
the legislature of California and the
governor of the state until the law was
amended in such manner as to kill it's
far-reaching effects.
Mr.. Flowers contends that the >Japa-
nese peril is not local one with Califor-
MIA, but that other states will suffer in
like manner unless national legislation
is resorted to or the several states adopt
similar laws to those proposed by Cali
fornia. Mr.. Flowers is forceful, con-
vincing speaker and held the interest of
his audience at all times.
This was the final lecture of the lyceum
course for this season. Every number
of the course has been of high class and
the Current News Club may we'll feel
elated over the success which has crown
ed their efforts.
