Ferry-A measure of competition
is desirable. In Chicago. for instance,
it is entirely practicable that inter
connection can be established be-
tween automatic and Bell systems.
That done, any automatic subscrib-
ers who wanted to talk to a Bell sub
scriber could do so. And vice versa.

OTHER BIG CITIES MAKE AUTO
PHONE SERVICE A GO.

49, as-EN v ~ - W.
Automatic phone systems are
working we'll in all the large cities of
Europe and behind the battle lines
of the big war, according to testi-
mony of MOntague>Ferry before state
utilities commission Wednesday,.
Ferry was public service commission
er under the Harrison administra-
tin and is a telephone engineer and
public utility expert. He said the
best telephone engineers in the
world are for the. automatic phone
system as against>the Bell manual
system on points of quicker connec-
ton, cheaper operating cost and
secrecy of connections.
Fastening the Bell manual system
on Chicago by junking the auto
matte is not a good telephone policy
for the city of Chicago, according to
Ferry Behind the grab of the auto
matte is the big wire communication
trust, the American Telephone &
Telegraph Co., killing a competitor,
in his view.
q do not hold any theory that the
Chicago Telephone Co., having once
obtained a complete monopoly, is
going to make-it easier for. the city
to own and operate a phone system
of its own, ran his testimony The
American Telephone & Telegraph
Co. has so far successfully thwarted
and postponed municipal ownership
of any telephone system in the u. S.
Technically, the automatic has
shown superiority. In San Fran
cisco, operated under an efficient
management, phone users were able
to get connections in .31a seconds.
Com. Yates-If you had to settle
it yourself would you decide that
cities in Illinois should be permitted
to have dual phone systems?
Ferry-Dual systems are not ideal.
But I would rather have a dual sys-
TEN than ruthless mOnODOlV fixing

COLUMBUS FIRE DAMAGE
ESTIMATED AT $4,000
Fire Discovered in Midst of Storm
Portage Fire Department Does
Heroic Work.
WATERFOWL AID is DELAYED.

The total damage suffered by the
Kurth Brewing company of Colum-
bus in Wednesdays fire was estim-
ated at S150000. The elevator, malt
house and dry kiln were completely
destroyed Insurance of 100000 was
carried On the property destroyed by
the fire and the estimated loss is put
at $150,000. 1t is unknown whether
the brewing company will rebuild the
destroyed structure. Large malt
houses in Milwaukee are controlled
by the company.
The fire was discovered in the midst
of a heavy torn and when it was
seen that the Columbus fire depart
ment could not control it, distress
calls were sent to Portage and this
city. Arriving shortly after two in the
morning the Portage department did
heroic work and prevented the fire
from spreading to nearby buildings.
The local fire department was de-
Iaped for nearly an hour in getting
a fiat car and when it was finally OBJ
tanned word was received that the
fire was under control.

DAMAGED BY TORNADO
Only portion of Business Houses
Able to Continue Business Due

$4,000 DAMAGE AT EDGEMOOR.

The center of the city of Oconomo-
was was the direct path of the storm
that struck that city late Wednesday
Afternoon. Beautiful shade trees were
| leveled or their limbs broken off and
scattered. Only portion of the bust
ness houses were able to continue
their business due to the impairing
of the light system.
The summer residents at the lake
were not touched by the wind.
The livery stable of~Walter Schrau-
denbach at Okauchee was struck by
lightning and burned to the ground.
The horses and other contents were
saved. The De Meyer cottage was
carried into the lake. Occupants of
buildings near the Schraudenbach
stable were knocked to their knees
when the bolt struck the stable.
The damage to the Edgemoor prop
erty on Lac la Belle, is estimated at
S., 600
The velocity of the storm may be
judged by the fact that a railway
velocipede standing near the passen-
ger station was carried across the
tracks and onto the curb near Joseph
Sass's land
A launch in the boathouse of Joseph
Peck was blown out of the house and
into the lake.

AMERICANS KNOW
LITTLE ABOUT INDIA
ONLY $14,000.000 SPENT TO EDU-
CATE 35O.000,000 IN
INDIA.
If Indian Papers Say Anything Against
Government They Are Closed and
Money Deposit is COnfiscated.

Dr. IN Krishna, who spoke at the
Turner Opera house Friday night said
that Americans know nothing about
conditions in India. In fact even the
American missionaries know very
little about the country. They know
about as much of the country as Doc
tor Cook knows about the pole, he
claimed to have discovered.
"The impression given by England
to the world" he said, sis that they
keep control over India because they
wish to help them. The only reason
that the British keep hold of India is
for the simple reason that billion
dollars in money is taken out of India
TO England every year in the form of
goods and taxes.
mo other officials in the world get
as high salaries in the world as the
officials in India The men that are
equal in rank to the American cabi-
net get twice as much salary. Your
president gets $4,000 a year salary
and $4,000 for expenses. The Indian
viceroy get 100000 year and nearly
$500 1000 in expenses.
'"The worst thing in India is it's poor
educational facilities. All the money
spent in that country for education
is $14,000,000. Think of it. Only
that small amount in country that
has a population of $4,000 900, There
are no free schools. Only the chill
dren of the wealthy are able to re-
ceive an education.
He gave rather humorous defini-
ton of English truth. Whatever
suits the Englishman is the truth" he
said, while if it suits the rest of the
world it is falsehood."
Ninety per cent. of the Indian pop
ulation are dying due to lack of med
ical knowledge.
There are many forms of injustice
in India One is that an Indian can
not sit at a trial where an English
man is the defendant, while an Eng
lishman may sit at a trial where an
Indian is the defendant.
"The Indian newspapers have no
freedom whatever If one desires to
start a newspaper he has to give the
names of the managers and writer's
to the government and also sum of
money Then if anything is said
against the government the paper and
the money are confscated
A collection was taken up for DR..
Krishna at the end of his lecture.

MAN FOUND IN
SERIOUS CONDITION
MAN DISCOVERED ON THE IXONIA
ROAD WITH HANDS TIED
CLAIMS ROBBERY.
Curious Part Of Affair is That Shoes
We're Gone and Could Not
Be Found.

William McFarlin, % years of age
and a resident of Indiana, was found
on the Ixonia road about four miles
from this city Monday evening be-
tween and 10 o'clock He was un-
conscious and it was three hours be-
lore he recovered and explained how
ne happened to be there. He gave
a rambling story Of being set upon by
tramps early in the evening and be-
ing chased through the fields in that
They finally caught
him, kicked him and stole his money,
after tying him. This is his state
ment.
According to those who found him
there were no marks of violence upon
ais body whatsoever.
McFarlin was found in a curious
condition. He was lying in a culvert
near the road and on his stomach.
When the automobiIists discovered
hat his hands were bound in front
with an old leather belt. At first
thought it was believed that he was
unknown, but a card and pass on
the electric line in coat lying on
The road nearby bore the name of Will
liam McFarIin Another curious in
stance of the affair is the fact that
both of his shoes were off and al
though a long search was made could
not be found
He was taken to st. Mary's hospital
where it was found that he was sub
ject to epileptic fits. 1t is believed
that he had fit and while in this con-
dition tied his hands. People who
have been subject to fits have been
known to accomplish unbelievable
things.
He was taken to the county hospital
at Jefferson by Deputy Sheriff Emil
Tanck this afternoon where he will be
under treatment for some time.

BADGER ROADS BEST"
CALIFORNIA TOURISTS
so SAY MOTORISTS WHO REACH
THIS CITY ON WAY TO
MENASHA.
Meet Others in Plains of Nevada Who
Almost Starve Through Lack
of Food and Water.

California is fine part Of the
country but it certainly feels good
to get back to Wisconsin" was the
opinion voiced by Mr. and Mrs. M. L.
Unmuth and Mr.. and Mrs. Sylvester
Riley of Los Angeles, Cal. The four
are making a trip by motor from Los
Angeles to Menasha, their home town,
and passed through this city Thurs
day. They had many interesting sto-
ries to relate of their trip through
the country.
Wisconsin, Has Best Roads.
Wisconsin certainly can hold it's
head up with any other state when
it comes to the question of good
roads" Mr.. Sylvester said. THE
roads in this state are the first good
trip. Some of the roads in other states
were fairly good while others were al
most impossible. Nevada has no roads
at all
Coming through that state we
struck an unusually poor road. We
managed to founder along for some
time and had only gone a short dis
tance when we saw a party of people
who had been marooned in the road.
They had run out of gasoline and
water and the nearest haven of refuge
was about forty miles Off They had
eaten all of their food and when we
reached them had gotten down to
IL
overjoyed at the help we gave them
in the line of food and gasoline
No Water For Several Days.
"a little further on we struck a
party of four negroes who were also
touring. Their motor refused to work
and on account of not being able to
reach anywhere they had not tasted
drop of water in several days"
The trip also had it humorous sides.
A tramp magician who had his "ho-
teI' with him was also encountered
He travelled from town to town with
all his personal belongings, food and
bedding in a small express wagon.
Two collapsible boards arranged on
the side of the wagon furnished him
his bed
Women Wear Oyeralls.
The Unmuths and Rileys left Los
Angeles on June 80. They were sup
piled with fresh meat every day by
killing rabbits along the road. The
trip was so dirty that the ladies in
the party wore overalls as we'll as the
men. When it was not possible to
reach cities to stay over night, the
night was spent in the open, and all
enjoyed the back to nature" life.
They expect to make 225 miles a day
during the trip.
