FIGHTS MANY ANGLES
Numerous Questions Arise When Pa
irons Attempt to Force II TO
Adopt New System.

4 case having almost innumeraple
angles is being threshed out before
Chief Engineer to the Corporation
Commissi j. c, Dickerman, who
Is taking dispositions on which the
final action OF the commission will
be based.
The case comes up on certain COM
plants against the service being given
the $50 subscribers to the system Of
the McFadden Telephone company,
whose principal Office is located in
Russell county but which does bust
ness as well in portions of Washing
ton county.
Complaint is made by certain pa
irons of the line that the service is
not good and that thecompany should
be required to do away with the
grounded circuit system for more
modern telephone methods.
The milk in the coconut, however,
seems to be that the Appalachian
Power company, for the purpose of
furnishing power to certain of its
customers. must string high tension
wires along several miles OF roads
paralleling the wires OF the McFad-
den company, the effect of such paral-
leling being to absolutely put the
telephone line out of commission un-
der the system now in use. Patrons
OF the company are endeavoring to
compel the company to install mod
ern system now, as, in that event, II
is held the power wires will have
no effect upon the telephone wires.
The company, however. wants to wait
until the power wires are strung and
then claim damages in a sufficient
sum to furnish the money 10 install
tie new system. The telephone stock
is all owned by the McFadden family

ANTHRACITE COAL
TONNAGE GfOWIEG

WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.--Reports just
compiled for the railroads war board
indicate that unless something unfore .
seen occurs, the amount of anthracite
coal transported by the railroads this
year will exceed the tonnage of any
previous year by considerable
amount.
According to the reports which
show the operation of the nine an
thracite railroads, the aggregate an
thracite tonnage transported by these
roads during. the eight-month period
ending August 81 this year cwas T.
66S.382 tons more than In the same
period last year, an increase of l71S
per cent.
To produce this increase. the an
thracite roads carried a gross tonnage
of 52,291.i45 tons from the mine
mouths as against 4+.623,063 for TIE
first eight months of 1915.
The increase for the month of .Au-
gust alone this year over August. 1916.
was 1,5S3,6os tons, or 1885 per cent
The July increase was 243s per cent
and the June increase 2524 per cent
These figures indicate that recent re-
ports to the effect that there hss been
severe curtailment In the produc-
ton and distribution of anthracite coal
are based upon rumor rather than
facts.
The anthracite roads include the
Philadelphia & Reading railway. Lee
high Valley railroad Central Railroad
or New Jersey, Delaware Lackawauna

son company, Pennsylvania railroad.

Harrisburg. Pa. Oct 9.--"Tonight
the United States is . stronger nation.
greater and more powerful demo-
cracy and & greater hope for man
kind than ever IN its history" do
clared Newton d. Baker, secretary of
war, in addressing tho HARRISBURG
chamber OF comm cree,
The secretary had been discussing
the aid business men and men in
all walks life have been giving the
government since the outbreak OF the
war, and pointed out that suspicious
the government had toward business
and suspicious of business toward the
government have been thrown aside
IN America s determination to down
autocracy
Step by step. Mr.. Baker traced the
movements of this country before
finally determining to enter the war.
He told of the small regular army
the country possessed, declaring that
II was scarcely larger than the metro
politan police force Of London.
THE call for the new national army
was something new In the history of
the world" he said Even Germany
has never been able to do the like
OF that. And when the army of the
United States takes TO the field IT, will
tie armed as well as any army il finds
ard better than most of them"
The secretary der ounced the men
who cry out that the United States
Is not prepared ana said there is now
more than enough equipment for the
national army.
Mr. Baker spoke regarding the
popularity Of the war and said that
the remark this is not popular
war" is often heard.
God grant that It viii never be-
come popular with us In the more
familiar sense or the word" he said
The war was popular in Berlin when
it started but its popularity is wan
