PhoNe Company Installs 3,5o2 New

A total of $500 new telephone

said that at the present rate of in
crease, there would 5000 new phones
before January 1, 1920, bringing the
total number in the city up to 81 900.
Mr.. Stair declared that the tele-
phone company had been sorely beset,
due to lack of wire and other facil-
tiles with which to connect phones,
and that as a result many persons
have had to take party line phones
until additional wires can be secured.
He stated that this had resulted in
many mix-ups over numbers, and that
the trouble over wrong numbers had
become greater through persons NOV
ing betweenOctober and November /.
He announced that the new tele-
phone directory would be out within
the next three weeks, and that as q
result the people would be relieved
! OF getting wrong numbers. Mr.. Stair
said that it was also proposed to build
another branch exchange to take care
of the increasing business Of the COM
Apany.

OIL BURNERS MAY GO ON L. s.
N. RAILROAD.
Lack of Fuel, Say Officials May Make
Step Necessary.

With only ten days supply of
coal onshand, the L. & N. PS1road is
facing a situation more acute than
any ever experienced before Sand To-
cal officials state that the present m
ability to secure coal may mean the
first step in movement which has
been gaining headway for the past
few months for placing oil burning
enbines on the entire system.
No immediate change is expected as
a result of the coal shortage, but it is
pointed out that the railroad must
look about for other fuel than coal.
Several of the larger railroads of the
West have been using oil burners Cor
years. In the South and East coal
is the predominant fuel.
With a possible contingency that a
miners strike may put the railroads
of the country in a position where
only a few trains can run, officials
everywhere are trying to devise other
means of keeping trains in operation,
and the use of oil, which today is be-
coming more general, is hit upon as
the easiest way out of the difficulty.

SOME VERY IMPORTANT LEGISLATION

president in American history, with
the controversy centered largely
about the league of nations covenant.
The French treaty, providing an
American guarantee to assist France
in the event of unprovoked German
aggression, was submitted to the Sen
ate by the president July 20, after
demands from Senate Republicans,
but still remains in the foreign rela-
tions committee.
Another treaty, the Panama Canal
settlement with Colombia, proposing
payment of $25 100000 by the Uni
ted States also remains in committee.
| 1t was reported to the Senate but
later withdrawn because of Colon
bian DEGREES regarded as inimical to
American interests.
Several important legislative mat
ters went over for final action at the
regular session. The oil, coal, gas,
and phosphate land leasing bill was
passed by both bodies and remains in
conference, as does the Edge bill au-
thorizing organization of corpora
tjons to help finance export trade.
The Esch railroad bill passed the
house and will be taken up with the
| Senate interstate commerce commits
sion's bill at the December session.
The house also passed and sent to the
Senate bill providing for the develop
ment of water power projects for the
establishment of a federal budget sys-
tenn, and providing permanent gov
ernment shipping policy.
There were numerous investiga-
tiofs during the extra session. Be-
sides the house inquiries into avia-
ton, ordnance, and other war de-
partment activities, the Senate inves-
tigated the steel strike. Mexican stu
alton, the coal situation. and other
matters. The Senate also authorized
investigation of the print paper situa
ton, but deferred the inquiry until
the new session.
Preliminary steps looking to revis-
ion of the tariff and internal revenue
laws also were taken, with general
revision planned during the regular
session.
The effort to repeal War taxes on
soft drinks and other luxuries failed.
Permanent army legislation was
advanced Doth by the senate and
house military committees, which
copleted hearings on peace time ar
my proposals and appeared to present
bills in the new session providing for
permanent army of about 100000
men as compared with the war de-
partment's request for 100000
Bills to increase pay of the navy
personnel also are in readiness.
Controversies during the extra ses-
sion resulted from opposition to Sen
ate confirmation of Attorney General
Palmer and Comptroller of Currency
John Shelton Williams. The former
was confirmed, but the latter's nomi-
nation still is pending.
The house refused to seat Repre-
sentative Victor Berger, socialist, of
