ASKS CONGRESS TO
 GIVE PHONES BACK
Vail Urges Legislation to Pro- vide for Return to
 Private Control

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Members of congress received today an appeal from Theodore N. Vail, president of the American Telephone & Telegraph company, and G. w Robinson, presi- dent of the United States Independent Telephone association, asking for speedy legislation to enable the return of the telephane properties throughout the country to their private owners.
 The text of the appeal in part fol- lows:
 "To the members of the senate and house of representatives:
 "On midnight, July S1, 1918, under the authority of congress for war pur- poses, the president took supervision, possession, control and operation of the telephone systems of the country, and has since operated them. The war has practically ceased The public press is strongly demanding and the general public and the owners of the telephone properties are urging that they be returned as speedily as pos sible, that former conditions may be restored and more satisfactory serv- ice be afforded.
 "The expenses of these systems have largely increased during the past year, for wages alone at the rate of more than $20,OOO,OOO. per annum. This was inevitable and necessary by reason of larger proportional increases by the railroads and industries of the country. The revenues are inadequate to care for such increases, and the deficit of the government on that &C., count to date is large and steadily in- creasing.
 "If such conditions continue, neces- sarily the credit of the operating com, panies will be impaired, proper ex- penses cannot be met, the best ope- rating forces cannot be retained, need ed extensions and satisfactory service cannot be provided"
 Just and speedy settlements should be made for all properties taken under existing law, that such balances now in the possession of the government may be used in the upbuilding and ex- tension of the various systems for bet ter public use!'

SUFFRAGE IN FIRST PLACE .ON CALENDAR
Flood of Bills Introduced In House First Day Enough to Occupy Solons for Year
Repeal of Prohibition, Wire Control Bill and Luxury
 Tax in Revenue Bill Sought

WASHINGTON, May 19-Enough bills were introduced in the house to- day to keep the body continuously at work through the year More than 1900 measures were placed in the house hopper
 While most of the bills provide fur the donation to various communities of cannon, and German field pieces, captured by the American expedition ary forces, much of the legislation that failed at the last session was again turned in and new measures came from the Republican side as part of the legislative program agreed upon at the party caucus.
 First on the house calendar is the joint resolution of Representative Mann for a federal constitutional amendment providing equal suffrage. Next is the bill of Representative Steenerson of Minnesota. providing for immediate return of telegraph and telephone lines now controlled by the government
 Republican senators at a confer ence late today agreed upon a bill for repeal of the wire control act and for immediate return of the wire sys- tems to their owners. The measure probably will be introduced tomor- row in the senate
 Would Repeal Prohibition
 Bills to repeal war time prohibi, tion. the luxury tax section of the war revenue bill and taxes on soda fountain products went early into the hopper. Among the repeal bills were half dozen measures aimed at the daylight saving act, most of them sponsored by farmers organizations.
 Representative La Guardia of New York introduced a bill under which the government would provide trans pcrtation to France for the nearest of kin of all soldiers buried over seas, this being put forward by him as preferable to the plan of attempt ing to return all bodies to this coun- try Prohibitory immigration leg islation is embodied in another bill introduced by Representative Lufkin of Massachusetts, who asked early consideration for it.
 Referendum for Amendments
 What was regarded as an out growth of the ratification of the pro- hibition amendment was a bill pro- posing a constitutional amendment providing that all future amendments to that document be ratified by ref, erendum vote in each of three-fourths of the states. Representative Griffin of New York in explaining the meas ure, said there was a widespread con viction that with respect at least to the prohibition amendment "the votes

 MODERN AUTO ROW
Main Street Additions will Be Striking Contrast to
 Present Block

Establishment of an auto row and the building of one of the bestCstreets in the entire Warren district, will have been completed by September 1, in Lowell, when new fronts will have been constructed on the main street from the site of the theater now building to the lower end of the street. The buildings of the auto row will oc- cupy the space from the theater to the end of the street.
 Construction of the new buildings will begin as soon as the theater building has been completed, or with in the next 50 days. The new front theater to the end of the street. The frontage of the auto row will measure 105 feet. The entire construction will be of pressed brick, and the frame buildings which in the past have made this portion of the street unsightly, will be torn out to make room for the new buildings.
 At least two automobile dealers will have places of business in the new buildings, and it is possible that one other may be accommodated. Ray B. Krebbs, dealer in Cochise county for the Chevrolet, will occupy one of the buildings. The second will be used as sales rooms for the Buick agency, George Jackson, of Douglas, county agent, having taken the lease. The third section is that now occupied by the Long Trail garage. New front will be constructed on this building, to make it conform with the new build ings, it will be remodeled and reno vated, and will become a part of the auto row.
 The plan for the new section of street has been worked out and is be- ing financed by Harry Wright, form erly of Clifton and more recently of Rodeo, N. M, where he was in busi- ness. Contractors are now receiving bids and estimates for the work. and details of cost will be available within the next few weeks.

 "To say that the amendments put forward in the senate and those proposed and formulated by MT Root on the suggestion of the state department have been met is without any foundation. Not one of the suggestions, not one of the amendments proposed by MT. Root, has been carried out.

 There is no desire anywhere to delay the treaty of peace with Germany one moment beyond the time necessary to understand it, but we must have it before us in the official form. As to the league of nations, the American people must know just what they are to be asked to agree to. By that league they are invited to take the gravest step ever taken by the United States and no organized clamor, no manufactured pressure of any kind, will swerve the sen- ate from it's high duty of laying before the American peopel -ex- actly what the league involves and what it means to the United States and to the future peace of the world"

 A Sopwith machine, supposed to be Hawker's, according to admiralty re- port, descended to the surface of the ocean 40 miles west of the mouth of the Shannon. Later admiralty re- ports said that this information was not considered reliable.
