kEREkSKYY SPEAKS
 AMID APPLAUSE.
Premier Calls Attention of New Con- gress to German Fleet Moving Up the Baltic.-0rdered Arrest of
 Nik0lai Lenine, Extremist.

Petrograd, Sept. 2S-Premier ker- ensky addressed the democratic con- gress at it's first session yesterday iu the municipal theater, receiving applause, which came principally from the radical groups of delegates. He spoke in f0rceful style, with an air of challenging his opponents. His address was largely a defense of the acts of the government under his premiership.
 NJ. kerensky was interrupted fre- quently by shouts from one group and another, which led to alterca- tions. lasting several minutes At one point, when the premier spoke of the refusal of the soldiers and workmens delegates of Helsingfors to oppose the re-opening of the Fin nish diet aItho the government had forbidden if, the Bolsheyiki burst into loud cheers.
 Cheer, my friends, if you will ? said kerensky, when he was able to make himself heard. But bear in mind that a German fleet is moving up the Baltic
 The delegates of the right jeered the BoIsheviki, asking them why they did not cheer the premiers re- marks, inasmuch as the Germans were their friends.
 More than 200 delegates from all parts of Russia were in attendance. All the members of the provisional government, headed by Premier kerensky were present. Several members of the diplomatic corps oc- lcupied a special box
 N c. Icheidse, president of the council of soldiers and workmen's delegates said thatAhe moment had arrived for democracy to gather lall it's political wiedom to save the conquests of the revolution, which were threatened with irreparable catastrophe if not safeguarded now.
 The k0rnil0tf ease is expected to figure prominently in the democratic congress.
 General AiexitT, in an interview published by the Russky Slovoe, said that the cause of his resignation as chief of stafl, was his dissatisfac- ton with the treatment of General korniloH as a rebel Ire Reich calls the affair a new Dreyfusiad."
 The minister of the interior has ordered the arrest of Nikolai Lenine, the extremist leader if he be found in petrograd, but he is not to be talk en into custody in the halls of the democratic congress.
 The Reich today reports the re- organization of the revolutionary militia known as the Red Guard" The reorganizers are negotiating with a factory for i2,000 rifles and several machine guns and ammuni- tion in proportion.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Effective July 18th, charge of fifteen cents for three minutes and five cents for each additional minute of conversation will be made for all messages transmitted over the lines of this company between the Glen dale telephone exchange and the Phoenix telephone exchange.
 This charge is warranted, not only to prevent high operating costs anu waste of facilities through the use of these lines for other than necessary conversations, but to provide that the subscribers whose excessive use of lines call for unwarranted facil- ities and increased operating costs, shall pay for service rendered, as well as to do away with the discrim inatory feature of free service be- tween the towns of Phoenix and Glendale, the expense of which is being borne, not by the subscribers of Phoenix and Glendale, but by the subscribers of the state as whole
 Again, this charge Tor toll service will act as an insurance against the burdening of the Phoenix Glendale lines with calls of unnecessary char acter; against bad operating condi- tions, and the installation of unus nal and costly facilities for the use of a few and at the expense and dis .dVanIage of the general public and the operating company.
 The present No charge" condi- ton results in the monopolization of the lines and abuse fthe service by those whose conversations are of no importance other than social, while the charging of toll will tend to pre- vent the use of the lines by sucn rar ties to the exclusion of others, and make the lines more useful to ,ue general public by preventing con- gestion which would inordinately de- lay emergency use; and to make the entire service more available to the public.
 The present No charge" condition is discriminatory and cannot lawfully be further countenanced by either the state regulating body or by this company.
 The new arrangement will work tc the advantage of the business men oi this community, who will profit by prompt and efficient service between these points.

GLENDALE HAS
 TOUCH IF |TS
 ANCIENT DAYS

GLENDALE, July 13.-The uncover ing Of old papers and documents from a tin box held in the cornerstone of the oid dIenda4e grammar school which is now being wrecked. furnished citizens of the community opportunity to delve into the lie and plans of the "old tim CTS who were instrumental in putting Glendale on the map, yesterday.
 There were records, comment and writings by the groWn-up children of the school, trustees and builders, care fully wrapped up in oiled paper and tied around with a prosaic cotton sriIng. The papers were yellow with age, but in spite of their frailty, they passed from hand to hand among those in the group who saw them moved from the tin box.
 One of the most interesting relics uncovered, is a statement signed by the pupils of the school at that time, in 1vnich hey promised to rebuild the school if ever it were destroyed by fire Or cyclone. The building would be done by them free of charge to the district, but they would charge it to the government. This brief pledge is signed by E. w. Krause, E. l.. and b. w. Decker, Lean Baker Louise and Leah Eyer, Vic Messinger, Alice and Abner Cuesenberry, Jennie and Maud Miller, U. w. Meyers, R. F. Moore, A. Boyd, Ii A. Hammeis and $. R. Stoncr. A copy of the Arizona Gazette, date Of August 13, 1895. was also inciudel in the list, together Wilh q long list of the names of the pupils and their parents. Among those who were pupils at that time arc: Lewis Eyer, Mark and May ! Fcrney. Clyde Rouss eau Charels and Ray Stautfer, Helen and Louis Hirst. Charles id Ivy Crosby and Ninton l ifammell.
 An Interesting l'.,'tS item taken from l tie copy uf the Gazette says tha, Wiley Jones-thcn editor of the Guardian was bit on the hand and wrist by a mad | dog who had been hanging arodnd the | editors office.
 The papers will be on exhibition for l the next few days in the Pitcher drug store at Glendale. Any who are in tartsted in them may see them at that place.
 The Glendale camp of the Boys Work Reserve was visited by the Queen Esther Girls of the Methodist Episcopal church last night. They brought the soldiers of the soil cake and ice c4eam which they themselves had made. They left with urgent invitations to come again.
 Ms. l. Bowling and children are go-
 ing to Agua Caliente for the summer.
 Mir and Mrs. George Cox left for the California beach resorts, where | they will spend the summer
 Due to the diligent work of the Queen Esther Girls, a large quantity of fruit was saved to the community, when these girls went up to Marlanette
 and worked for two or three weeks 1 picking and drying fruit. For this bit
 of perseverance the girls have received 1 much deserved compliments.
