TURN BACK CABLES AT ONCE, NOTE
 TO WILSON
Postmaster General Makes
 Recommendation to Return
 Sea Wires by 10th of May
Also Asks Phones, Telegraph Lines Be Relinquished and Financial Protection Given

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The gov ernment is preparing to relinquish next month the American cable lines and to restore the telegraph and tele. phone systems to private ownership immediately after enactment by con. gress of laws necessary to safeguard the properties.
 Postmaster General Burleson, as di. recting head of the wire communica- tion service taken over as a war mea- sure, announced today he had recon mended to President Wilson that the cables be turned back forthwith, prob ably not later than May 10. An hour later the postmaster general gave out a statement saying he would recon mend that the telegraph and telephone service be returned to private own CTS, contingent, however, upon fin ancial protection to be obtained from congress.
 It was explained by Mir Burleson that no legislation was necessary in the case of the cable company prop critics.
 Finances Up to Congress
 In the matter of land service, how ever, the solution of the problem will be put squarely up to congress. Com ing so soon after the recommendation in his annual report that the tele- phone and telegraph lines become gov ernment owned at the conclusion of peace, the postmaster generals an- nouncement created unusual interest.
 Postoffice department officials ex- pressed the belief that few of the com panies could weather the financial storm if the properties were turned back without remedial legislation. Some of them said that while the prop critics must be returned in the same physical condition in which they were taken over, to do this now, without added revenue to meet wage demands and increased cost of operation, would wreck the entire industry.

PARIS. April 28.-(By the Associated Press) Fol lowing the of President Wilson's speech before the plenary session of the peace conference today:

"Mr. President: When the text of the league of nations was last laid before you I had the honor of reading the covenant in extenso.

 "The report of the commission has been circulated You yourselves have in hand the text of the covenant, and will no doubt have noticed that most of the changes that have been made are mere changes of phraseology, not changes of substance, and that, be- sides that, most of the changes are intended to clarify the document, or, rather, to make explicit what we all have assumed was implicit in teh doc ument. as it was originally presented to you. But I shall take the liberty of calling your attention to the new features such as they are. Some of them are considerable; the rest tri- vial.

 This present government control of the railroads is purely temporary in character" he said. 'I feel that the most useful service I can render is te try during this period to get the rail- road service on the best possible foot ing from the standpoint of the needs of the public.
 Tt is our policy that no changes of substances be made in rates except with the concurrence of the division of public service, which devotes its en. tire time to the rate problem"

Last night at 7:5o Lowell was
 the scene of fatal automobile ac-
 cident when the life of 5-year-oId
 Philip Jacks, jr., was crushed out
 beneath the wheels of a heavy
 seVen-passenger jitney car driven
 by H. L. Brown.
 According to witnesses the lad had been to the Brophy corral where he had gone to sell some gunny sacks. As he was returning with five pennies clasped in his little hand, the big car came from the direction of Bisbee travelling, according to eye-witnesses, at a rapid rate of speed The boy had reached the center of the street and before he could return to the pavement the big car was upon him and its front wheel pinned the little body to the pavement.
 Lad Twice Run Over, AIIeaed
 As the car held the lifeless form beneath its weight, bystanders shout ed to the driver, it is alleged, to back up the car and release the body from beneath the wheels. Instead of back ing up, according to Deputy Sheriff Tom Foster, the big car lunged TOT ward and passed completely over the body.
 Foster, who was on the scene short ly after the accident, placed Brown under arrest and he was locked up in the Lowell jail without bond to await the outcome of the coroners inquest, which will be held at 4:30 this after noon.
 MT. Foster measured the distance that the wheels of the big car hau slid after coming in contact with the boy and according to his statement the tracks showed that it had slid 29 feet 8 inclAss beford coming to a stop.
 Pitiful Scene in BereaVed Home
 Over in No. 2 Johnson apartments, which is in front of the spot where the little boy met his death, three meager rooms sheltered a family that has had its sorrows. On the bed a little eight-month-old barefooted tot was sucking at an empty milk bottle. The mother, a sallow-cheeked woman of about 32, was sobbing bitterly and calling for her dead boy. On another bed father was weeping-he wanted to see his boy but he couldn't. Three
 
 mine, and since that time he has been on his back. Pulling at his daddy's arm, was another tot, three years of age, with head wrapped up in a band age. He had been struck with a brick a few days ago and he looked be- wildered. He didn't know why his mother and father were weeping. He hadn't been told that his big brother had been killed and everything seem- ed so strange to him.
 Say Brown Old Offender
 It is alleged by the police that Brown has been a source of annoy ance for some time. Last week it was stated, he was tried in Judge Win ter's court and assessed a fine on charge of speeding. Officers further allege that case is now pending against him here in Bisbee on the same charge.

The proportion of the loan already subscribed is a fraction of per cent greater than that raised at the core spending time of the fourth loan cam paign, although the amount is about $200,O00,000 less, since the total of the fourth loan was greater.
 This looks rather discouraging for the Victory loan," said the treasury's daily review. "and the most hopeful sign connected with the situation IS that some of the remote districts are slow in reporting their sales to head quarters. This is particularly true in the Atlanta district"
 New York city has subscribed al- most four times as much as the rest of the district in which 1t is located, S156,000,000, while the rets of the dis trict has subscribed approximately $45,O00,O00.

 WASHINGTON, April 2a.-AI- though the peace conference to- day failed to take up the question of responsibility for the war, off ciaIs here were unanimous tonight in the belief that the peace treaty as delivered to the German pIeni- potntiaris will call for tn trial of William HohnzoIiern, former em- peror of Germany, before a court of the associated powers.
 Trial of the former emperor for "a supreme offense against inter- national morality and the sanctity of treaties" the state department announced today, had been incIud- ed in the recommendation of the peace conference commission on responsibility. These recommen- dations are embodied in four ar- ticles which were made public by the state department without com ment and which the commission proposes to insert in the final treaty.
