shows "CoIored Section,
A man showing the area between
New Jersey avenue and Fifth street,
and p and Q streets, referred to by
President Bethel as "the colored sec.
tion," was, next offered.
It. showed ten telephones in the
homes of families and one pay s<a-
tion. President Bethel said there
were ,other pay stations in the To-
cality.
He said the Service motive" of the
company was indicated by the install
lation of telephonic facilities in sub
divisions and sections which had not
yet been built up. The company, he
said. has 1.S00 pay stations in Wash
ington.
SemI-PubIic Stations.
Beside these there are many semi
public pay stations, such as are found
in clubs, small apartments, hotels,
boarding houses and other places. For
instance, the corner groceryman con-
tracts for 2,70O calls a year and let's
people come in and use his telephone,
for each call on which he collects s
cents and makes a little profit. This
helps him out with his telephone bill,
his rent and other things"
J. H. Kimball, farmer and treas
urer of Tome Institute, was then
called, with the consent of President
Bethel. to give his testimony so he
could go back to Port Deposit, Md.
Did Not Sign Report.
This witness was called to testify
as to whether or not he signed a re-
Congress on the comparative develop
ment of the telephone industry in the
rural counties OF France and the same
class of counties in Nebraska-i Kim
ball said he was a member Of a COM
mittee which studied the SUBJECT, but
he did not sign the report. He said
he did not believe any member of the
committee, except Frank G. Odell,
chairman, signed 1t.
The witness. gave the committee a
copy OF a resolution in which the far
mers' congress approved of the Gov
ernment ownership of telephone and
telegraph lines.
Asks As To Presumption.
Congressman Ragsdale asked the
witness il il was not the natural pre-
sumption that the report given out by
Chairman Odell was the correct re-
port of the entire committee. The
witness replied that great many
things might be presumed, but as a
matter of fact he did not sign the re-
port,
He said Chairman Odell had sum-
moned him to the library of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany's office, and submitted the re-
port to him, but he declined to sign
II.
The committee then instructed
kimball to be present when the hear
ing is resumed at 10 o'clock tomor-
row morning. Chairman Odell, &C.
cording to a telegram received by
President Bethel, will be there.

reunion to be held in Washington
which, by the way, promises to be the
most successful ever held by the
grand old men who shouldered their
musket3 in the sixties and risked
their lives and property for cause
they believed right.
They are all going and they arc
all going in good shape, and, if pos
sible. in uniforms Judge Frank Fl.
Harris, the new commander of Camp
Jackson, is going before the city cOun-
Gil and the Glynn county commission
ers and ask those bodies to jointly
purchase uniforms for every member
of his camp and it is likely that these
bodies will readily agree to his re,
quest
Many camps from various parts of
the state will attend the Washington
meeting in uniforms, and Camp Jack
son should also go and the people
should see that the old warriors have
just what they want on this particu.
