20 PER CENT. jump
IN PHONE RENTAL
Government Control Brings
an Increase to Delaware
Subscribers
NEW SCHEDULE IN
EFFECT ON MAY |

Announcement was made today by
the Diamond state Telephone Company
that an increase Of 20 per cent. in its
rates under government supervision
will be made after May (. Increased
cost Of operations, due in part to the
war" is given as a reason for the in
crease Of one-flfth above the present
rates. This means shat subscribers
now paying $3.50 a month must pay
50 after May 1; those paying SO must
pay $500 hereafter, and so on up the
scale. The company's announcement
of the rate increase is as follows:
"On August I. 1918, the Federal Gov
ernment assumed control Of the prop
erty and business Of the Diamond State
Telephone Company, and, at the same
time, directed the company manage
ment to continue its operations under
government supervision. The act under
which the business was taken over by
the United States Government provides
that the corporation shall receive only
just compensation for the use Of its
property.
This compensation having been fixed
by contract, all charges for telephone
service now collected belong TO the
government. With the increased cost
OF operations, due in part to the war
the present rates in Delaware do not
produce revenues sufficient to- provide
its proper proportion OF the compen-
sation, nor, in fact, a reasonable return
upon the investment. The situation
compels an increase in. telephone rev
enues.
"The company prepared ana sub
mitted to the United states Telegraph
and Telephane Administration a re-
vised schedule OF rates, which, after
careful consideration, was approved by
the Federal authorities and ordered ef-
fective, commencing May 1, 1919.
"The rate increase for service in
Delaware is 90 per cent. and applies 20
all rates, except for toll service and

yiously there has been growing feeling
in Japan against the United States for
President Wilson's refusal TO sanction a
clause in the league OF nations cove
nant which would insure against ra-
cial discrimination by any nation against
the Orientals. There also has been
strong anti-AmeFican propaganda cir
culated in Japan for some time and the
feeling between the United japanese

top Of this situation comes the an

the japanese and American command

other sources Of irritation which are
said by Ishiis friends TO have greatly

Townsend while at the State House yes
terday signed the State School Code bill
passed by the recent General Assembly.
II was the only bill signed by the gov
ernor yesterday. With the signing Of
this bill II becomes operative at once,
although the provisions VIII not be
worked out until a year hence. Under
the new law the governor viii appoint
all the school commissioners for one
year, after which they will be elected
by the voters Of each district The first
act Of the governor under the law will
be 20 appoint a State Board OF Educa-
ton OF five members.
Inquiry was made at the State House
yesterday concerning House Bill &C. re-
quirlng all vehicles 10 carry lights az
night or forfeit their legal rights In
event Of colllding with another vehicle.
The bill was introduced by representa-
tive Danzenbaker and passed both
houses but upon investigation it has
been found that the bill has not been
received by the governor. neither was
it included in the list OF bills as taken
to the secretary OF states Office Neither
the receipt books nor the list OF passed
bills as submitted 20 the secretary Of
states Office by the chairman of the
passed bills committee OF the House
show any account OF House Bill &c hav-
ing been delivered TO the secretary Of
states ONCE.
Because OF the apparent missing of
a bill two years ago, relative TO the
bailiffs OF New Castle county, which
passed both houses, failing 10 reach the
governor. special pains were taken al
the recent session Of the Legislature
by the secretary OF States ofilce b ser
that no suspicion regarding lost bills

brought 70 the secretary OF States Of
fee they were not only receipted for
in the book Of receipts presented by
the chairman Of the passed bills SOM
mittee. but at the end Of each week
and even on the last day, another rec
ord OF all bills passed by both houses
was submitted 10 the secretary Of
States office under the signature Of the
chairman Of the passed bills commit
tee. Both Of these records were seen
at the State House, bearing
out the correctness Of the assertion
that the bill never was delivered to the
secretary Of State.
It was reported today that the bill
was not returned 10 the House after
having passed the Senate, and that it
still is in the desk or safe OF Clerk
Cramer Of the Senate.
There has also arisen another ques-
tion over a House bill which passed
the House by a vote Of 10 yeas and 4
nay. and was killed or allowed to die in
the Senate, but which appears on the
to have passed both
Houses and signed by the Governor
on Thursday Of last week. The bin
bears the signatures OF both Speakers
and clerks OF the two houses. even

ate.

BERLIN, April i3.-(Delayed)-Ihe
Germans are becoming more and more
imbued with the idea that although
they have lost the war they are win
ning in the peace conference.
This is largely a development OF the
past month. Two months ago the Ger
mans were ready 10 accept any peace
the Allies might impose. Now the peo-
pie are becoming independent TO the
extent of "cOckiness."
II do not know whether the attitude
here is the natural result of the delays
in Paris and the continuous streams OF
reporis of Allied differences which are
wide spread in the German press or
whether IL Is part of an organized plan
on the part Of the Germans. II is prob
ably both, for members of the old re-
aime certainly are making the most OF
the situation, endeavoring TO educate
the Germans mp 10 the idea that they

terms are unsatisfactory, and that IL
the Allies can hardly agree among
| themselves when there are no Ger
mans present, a few German diplO-
mats on the ground can quickly give
the Allied peace program a permanent
setback.
For instance. Count Won Bernsiorii

are going in Paris. ! met him on the
street the other day and asked him
what he thought Of the situation.
"The situation is all in Paris" he

COULD APPOINT
DETECTIVE ARMY
UNDER NEW BILL
Measure Before Governor
Authorizes Appointments
IN Emergency
FEAR IT MIGHT LEAD
TO POLITICAL TROUBLE

One OF the bills passed by the recent
Legislature and not yet signed by Gov
srn1r Townsend is that authorizing the
appointment Of an additional State de-
lectiye. The original purpose OF the
bin was 10 provide for the creation Of
b State detective bureau Of five de
.ectives, under a captain who would
work under the attorney generals office
and also in conjunction with the VIII
mipgiOn police department whenever
ge6cssary.
lie bill was changed i'm committee
however. so as TO provide for an ad-
iitional detective, TO be assigned to ru-
raj New Castle County. The present
law provides for three detectives, one
Tor each county.
10 has been discovered that the bill
passed by the Legislature and sent to
Governor Townsend for his action pro-
vides not only for. an additional State
defective but also would authorize the
attorney general to appoint such addi-
lionel detectives as he might deem nee
sssary in event OF an emergency.
This latter provision, 10 was said to-
das. does not appeal TO Governor Town
send. as 10 does not set a limit upon

appointed in event OF an emergency.
Som persons have gone so far as to re-
call the good old Democratic days,
when hundreds OF Democratic special
constables were appointed to serve on
election day and intimidate Republican
voters, and it was pointed out that
some time in the future years, a politi-
callv-inclned attorney-general might
deem election day such an emergency
las 60 cause him to appoint an army OF
State detectives TO serve around the
polls.
II is known that Governor Townsend
has been advised by some lawyers ana
others whom he has consulted. that
white they do not fear there would be
any abuse by Attorney-General Rein
hardt Of the wide powers such a law
would confer. at the same time they
think il would be leaving too much au-
.hority for a future attorney-general.
In the face Of this situation. IL would
not be surprising II Governor Townsend
should let the bill die by the vest
pocket veto"

Omsk, Tuesday, May 27.-(By the
Associated Press)-If the Omsk gov
eminent succeeds in clearing Russia
of the Bolsheviki this year 1t will be
barely able to meet the demands for
grain to supply the people. according
to NJ. ,Petrov, minister Of agriculture.
He bases his estimates on the fact that
the yield west of the Urals will be 80
per cent below normal. although the
Siberian crop will be ~ per cent

to use the surplus Of wheat in Siberia
to meet the deficit in European Rus
STA.
1t is said that quite a proportion
of the wheat crop Of the past three
years is still to be threshed in outly-
ing districts due to the fact that-trans-
p%ortation facilities were such that the
grain could not be brought to market
and the additional consideration that
there vas no currency for the pur-
chase of grain. This wheat may be
available for the coming year. Har-
vesting machinery now lying in Arch

In 1917 there were $4,000 acres

Uralsk, Turgai, and Yakutsk districts.
The acreage shows a larse increase
for 1918 and 1919. The only districts
