Councils Action plenses,

The city council is to be congrat,l-
Gated upon the satisfactory solution OF
the telephone franchise question which
has been hanging fire for the last four
or five years. After many months oil
dellberation the council itself prepared
franchise which was passed by unan-
imous vote of that body last night,
which Is believed to be fair to the tele-
phone company and fair TO the people
OF Clarksburg.
While the telephone company did
not get the kind of franchise 1t asked
for, 1t is believed 1t will accept the
one granted. The controversy over
this matter, which has existed for the
last few years is believed to be salts
factorily terminated for all concerned.
The telephone company has promised
TO put in an underground system anu
will begin Immediately the expenditure
OF over 100000 in improvements in
the city. A consolidation OF the Bel
and Consolidated telephones, both oil
which are already owned by the Bell
company, will be welcomed by the
majority of the citizens. and in short
time the unsightly poles which OBJ
struct the principal streets OF the city
will be removed.
1t is very gratifying to know that
this important question has been final
ly disposed of to the satisfaction OF all
concerned.

Another daniels

Rear-Admiral Fiske has appealed
TO the Senate committee on naval af-
fairs to investigate the issue of varac-
ity between himself and Secretary
Josephus Daniels. Admiral Fiske, it
will be recalled. when instructed to
do 30 by the committee. produced
a report on the inefficiency of the
navy which he had written for Sec
rotary Daniels. When questioned
by the committee. the admiral said
he had personally brought the letter
to the attention of Mr.. Daniels. This
was after Daniels had testified that
he had never seen the letter. Daniels
then impugned Admiral Flske's ve-
racity.
Those who recall the statements is
sued by Daniels after the Tampico Of.
fair of two years ago. and the COM
pleteness with which Mr.. Daniels's
statements. made at that time in or
der to defend his own conduct. were
disproved. feel that there Is no need
of an investigation to establish Ad.
miral Fiske's truthfulness. but all are
agreed that an Investigation should
be made. Daniels favors an investi
cation by board OF naval officers Of
his own selection, highly improper
proceeding.
The president. in his effort to pre-.
vent further exposure of Daniels. is
trying to head off an Investigation
by the Senate committee, hence It's
reluctance TO undertake It, The en-
tire affair recalls Col. George Har.
vey's declaration that "a Daniels has
come, in the navy to be popular

able. uglier word"
