CANDLE MAN VICTIM OF
 STRANGE TRAGEDY
By Nuggets Exclusive Phone Service.


 CANDLE, Alaska, March 13--As was the case last winter, when a well known resident of the city succumbed to the rigors of the long Arctic winter and the loneliness of existence and de- stroyed his own life by shooting,an- other tragedy was enacted here yester- day which has cast an atmosphere of gloom over the community.
 The victim this time is Ernest Schu- maker, a miner well known in this section, where he has been engaged in mining for some time.
 Schumaker was found dead in his cabin yesterday afternoon at five o'clock with cord around his throat by which he had suspended himself until sufication had brought him to an untimely end,
 The reasons for the dark tragedy are not known but that the unfortun- ate man had deliberated the rash act is we'll indicated by the finding of a newly devised will in which he left all of his belongings to the Red Cross A peculiar incident in connection with tEc t.agedy, is that Schumacher was th, w!ning partner of iEmil Johnson the yourg man who 'o.Griitted suicide here :aSt winter by shooting. and his ieath '"' urred in the sa nc cabin in which h's former partH, ?, took his own life.
 Schumacher was working for himself at the time of his death and was ap- parently In good health. It is general ly sumised that the sad fate of his former partner had some influence in bringing about the sad event ycster- day.

WILL Be MADE ONE
Dual Systems in All Amer
ican Cities TO be
Merged
1900 % lPANIES
IN UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON. July 2T.--Plans for
the consolidation OF the Bell and inde-
/ pendent telephone systems in American
cities which have the dual service now
are being worked out by David ]. Lewis,
director OF operations OF the Federal
wire service, for submission 10 the
postoilce committee on telephone and
telegraph.
The investigation so far made by the
Federal officials leads them TO believe
the task OF consolidating the Bell and
independent local exchanges will not
be so serious as Il was thought at first.
There are now about 1900 independent
systems in The country and the inquiry
indicates at least 1000 OF them can be
merged for working purposes with the
Bell system without serious trouble.
The inquiry also has developed the
| fact that only about IS per cent. OF the
private telephone users have two
phones where the dual system prevails.
That information has led the Federal
experts to believe the merging can be
done easily.
Although no announcement OF plans
will be made until the matter OF merg-
ing has been discussed with represen-
tatives OF both the Bell and independent
system. The Federal officials believe
they are not justified at the present
tine under Government control In go
ing further than making the physical
connection between. the two exchanges.
The question Of linking the two en-
changes, IL Is asserted, Will not be difii-
cult. Persons or business houses hav-
ing both telephones will have the priv
ilege Of discontinuing one OF them with
out losing its service.
The installation OF an automatic tele-
phone system in Washington to sup
plant the manual system was recon-
mended strong by the Bureau OF Stana
ards OF the Department OF Commerce
after an exhaustive Investigation into
the phone situation here. The recon-
mendation was submitted 10 the Dis
trict Public Utilities Commission, which
Is holding hearings on an application Of
the CHESAPEAKE and Potomac Company
for authority 10 increase rates.
The report sets forth II would cost
about SsO0cfOO TO supplant the presem
manual system with sutomatics. IL also
states the Chesapeake and Potomac
Company would have 100000 annually
in operating costs with automatlcs, be
sides giving Washington an increased
and more efficient service. Also, II was
explained, II would not be necessary
to increase rates.

Sir: l see by the newspapers
that a reclassiflcstion OF men in deferr-

Glass IA. l would suggest that in the

paid to Kent and Sussex counties, as
they ran out Of Glass IA men some time
ago because Of the great number Of
young men given deferred classiflca-
