LOST PTARMIGAN
 FOUND PLENTIFUL
 TO THE WESTWARD
Cordora Times)

The missing ptarmigan have been found:
 Scientific sharps and experts of bird lore have an opportunity to set forth their knowledge in regard to whether or not the above is a state ment or a misstatement of fact. Here is the basis Of argument.
 From nearly every part of the ter ritory reports were received this rear Jhar Jhe ptarmigan had vanished. 4 few scattering birds were seen. but the vast flocks were not to be found.
 Some said mat cold weather killed them: others that they had migrated.
 Messages have been received at Valdez within the week from pr. French on Bristol bay that millions and millions Of ptarmigan have gath cred on the Alaskan peninsula Dr. French wrote after crossing the pen insula en route home from term of court at Valdez. He said that never in the history Of that section had the birds been so thick.
 The natives are taking advantages Of the invasion and are living high
 The contention Is that these birds migrated from other parts. but others claim that the ptarmigan does not migrate and that the reason he is so plentiful out there is that conditions were favorab ble al matching time, while the reason for scarcity elsewhere is answered by the cold weather Of last summer.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
Thinks Union Makes Error
in Picketing White House

That she thinks that the Congress
sional Union is beginning at the wrong
end of things when they try to en-
barrass the President. is the opinion
stated today by Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, national president of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association.
The national association, she said,
does not consider that President Wilson
is in any way responsible for the delay
in Congress and it regrets that he
should be subjected to this annoyance
and embarrassment. She points out
that her association is just as impatient
of the congressional delay in granting
suffrage as is the Congressional Union,
but does not consider that "heckling"
is any way in which to try to hasten
the outcome.

Mr.. Lewis Argument.

In amplifying his theories on the sub
ject Mr.. Lewis said:
Il am obliged to make a seemingly
sensational statement about these long
distance rates. 1t costs the American
as much to ship his long distance con-
versation over the wires, mile for mile
as it costs him to ship ton of freight
over the rails. The railroads get, on
the average, mills a mile for moving
the ton of freight. The telephone sys-
tenn charges 8 mills a mile for carrying
the three minute conversation Gen.
tlemen can realize how weighty their
conversations sometimes are. They
weigh about a ton on the long distance
wires
There are from seventy to eighty thou
sand independent homes in the District
of Columbia Only twenty thousand of
these have telephones. And yet commune
ctaion is the most primary requirement of
the human being. This was the reason
the Constitution assigned the function of
organized communication to the Post Of
flee Department. 1t alone can have the
motive to make that communication 30
cheap as to be susceptible of common and
universal use, a use wide as the needs
of man. Tnere is a road to every mans
house, there ought to be a phone. along
with the water pipe and the sewer. on the
inside. In the United States this COM
municating ideal can be easily realized

Plea to Committee.
MUCH OPPOSITION TO BILL

Considerable antagonism to the Lewis
bill providing for the experimental
ownership of the District telephone
system by the government marked the
hearing on the bill before the House
District committee this morning. The
climax of several acrimonious pas
sages between members of the com
mittee came when Representative
Ragsdale of South Carolina, a member
of the committee, angrily left his seat
and the room, declaring emphatically
that if Representative Lewis, who was
arguing before the committee in favor
of his bill, was not willing to answer
questions put to him, he would vote
against the proposed measure.

that you would vote against it," shout
ed Mr.. Lewis after his departing figure.

hearings.

Prefers Test to Inquiry.

Before Mr.. Lewis had proceeded far
in his argument for government owner
ship of telephones of the District, he
was interrupted by Representative
Tinkham of Massachusetts, member of
the committee, who said that he was
anxious to learn why the passage of
the Lewis bill should be sought, in
view of the fact that the Newlands
resolution, calling for a broad investi-
cation of the principle of government
ownership, was passed yesterday.
Mr.. Lewis explained that he thought
any investigation of the principle in
volved should be amplified by expert
ment
you think that is orderly legisla-
tion?' inquired Representative Tink-
ham.
Mr.. Lewis stated that he thought SO.
Mr.. Lewis arguments during the
morning against competition for sub
jects carried. postally and favoring pos
tai monopoly went further than the
provisions of the present bill. He ex-
planned to the committee that he has
at the present time general bill be-
fore the House for this purpose. as
well as the measure now under con-
sideration by the committee.
