TOASTMASTER

Harry Newman. of whom you may
have heard. was a toastmaster at the
Auto Salesmens banquet at the Bis.
marck Garden. Monday night.
Here is what the Tribune of Tues
day. March 10. said of the affair:
A hurry call for the police was sent
from the Bismarck garden last night
after riotous outburst of high spirits
on the part of 1,200 banqueting auto.
mobile dealers had precipitated a
threatened strike of the cabaret per.
formers and nearly put an abrupt end
to the annual festivities of the Chi
cago Automobile Trade association.
When Sergt. John Benson of the
Town Hall station arrived with his
detail he found one member of the
entertainment committee industrious.
ly pummeling an obstreperous merry.
maker in an effort to suppress his
zeal
The trouble began when the diners
conceived the notion of pelting chorus
girls with bread as they advanced
on to the banquet floor One of the
former was knocked down and badly
beaten when he threw French roll
with particularly good aim at a young
woman poised on top of ladder In a
balancing act.
This brought an announcement
from the garden management that the
performers had refused to go on with
the show unless they were given
some guarantee of safety.

of the plant was to be borne partly by
the packers and In Fart by the city.
Charles Il. Springer, representing
the Oakland Business Mems Associa.
ton, protested to the board against
the citizens assuming any share of the
burden of construction and mainte-
nance OF the plant.
The South Side has been poisoned
by the existence of the stockyards and
the slaughtering of cattle in the heart
of the city," he said. THE great de-
probation of property values Is en-
tirely due to the presence Of the pack
ing plants. 1t Is robbery to ask the
citizens to pay for two-fifths of the
cost of a plant that will be OF benefit
solely to the packers. We propose
that the city construct system ade'
quate to care for domestic sewage of
the yards and that the packers be
compelled to construct and maintain
the disposal plant at their own
expense"
Wallace G. Clark, chairman of the
engineering committee, declared that
the solution of the sewage problem OF
the stockyards would be a benefit to
every city in the United States and
more of benefit to the whole packing
industry.

The city proves its ownership of

The owner is forbidden to even trim

A supplemental report to the annual
statement for 1916 made to the gov
ernment was issued today to the Trib-
une by Secretary l.. A. Jones of the
Farmers Mutual Telephone Company.
An interesting feature of the report
to stockholders is that although the
present book value of the plant and
equipment is only s32,S25.25. the
value as estimated by the officers
equals or exceeds $50, 100000. The
company now has 1,7s2 subscribers,
and should the basis of valuation
used by the Western Electric Comp
any be followed, the valuation of
the Whatcom County institution
would reach the amazing total of
S16O,3S0.
The net indebtedness of the comp
any TO be charged of against the val
uation total was only s2,22423, and
this is expected to be removed by
July, unless the money has to be used
in constructing new lines.
The total amount of bills. notes
and bonds and all forms of indebted
ness against the company on Jan. l
totaled sS.4S5.32, against which are
