Mackay Predicts Early
Return of Cable Lines
Believes Public Dissatisfaction
Will Force Burleson to
Relinquish Wires

BOSTON, Feb Is. - Clarence H.
Mackay predicted to-day, at the annual
meeting of the Mackay companies, that
public dissatisfaction would soon COM
pei Postmaster General Burleson to re-
ilnqulsh control of the telegraph and
cable lines. Speaking with reference
particularly to the Postal Telegraph
and the Commercial Cable Company
lines, Mr.. Mackay said:
we look for an early return of our
lines Under the act of Congress they
are to be returned to US at or before
the proclamation by the President of
the ratification of peace, and we do not
think that is far off. Furthermore, in
view of the recent increase of tele-
phone rates by the Postmaster General,
with promise of further increases to
come and the threat to increase tele-
graph rates, there is a strong demand
that the lines be imme diately returned.
"The Post Office Department admits
it is losing money on its awards of
compensate nto the companies, and
that this will have to be made up by
increasing rates. The public resents
rate increases to make up for govern
ment Encouragement, and it is quite
likely that if the Postmaster General
does not eercise his authority Congress
will vote for the lines immediate re-
turn"

Ground Hogs Veracity
Substantiated by Geese

THERE seems to be no oues-
= ton about it. The ground
hog was right recently when he
decided he might as we'll return to
his hole for six weeks nap be-
cause spring could not possibly ar
rive before the end of that period.
However, we people were not
the only ones the mild weather
fooled into hoping that spring was
at hand. A flock of geese was
sighted flying over New York yes
terday. These geese were headed
due south. They were winging a
pace which indicated that a radi-
cal change in weather might be
almost at their very tails.
The geese, presumably, had
been deceived by the weather and
had come north. Their change of
plans means impending blizzards
and a very late spring, amateur
weather sharps predict.

Replying to the company's plant

the commission referred 20 a decision

declaring the so cent law constitu-
tional, wherein a valuation of the COM
pany's holdings was placed at $685.
435. While the company contends that
the valuation is far too low, the COM
mission takes the reverse stand.
Calls Estimates Unfair
The commission also objects to the
offering of the gross operating rev.
enues and the net income received by
the complainant during 1918, which, it
says, ARE not fair criteria of the
return heretofore earned and hereafter
to be earned" The wal conditions. 1T

ures of other years show that the COM
pany learned reasonable and fair

"The Hypothetical cost of reproduc-
ing compliments property in the year
1918. during the existence of said state
of war; the commi ssion continues, "is
not the fair value of the compliments
property, and to base rates for gas
upon q valuation representing hypo-
thetical cost of reproduction in the
year 1918, or during the said was pc
Rod, would be unlawful and manifestly
unfair and unreasonable"
The answer was served yesterday
upon Sherman & Sterling, attorneys
for the gas company, by Godfrey Gold
mark, chief counsel to the commission.
Attorney General Charles d. Newton
and District Attorney Edward Swami

but were not represented in the com

Application has already been made
to the State Legislature for an appro-
priation of 100000 to fight the suit of
the gas company.

one man escaped and he was a rich

the people for his life.
Two witnesses were heard-Roger E.
Summers, of Hagerstown, Nd, for
estry expert, who was gathering infor-
nation for the War Trade Board, and
William W. WEIGH, a member of the
staff of the National City Banks Petro-
grad branch. From them the committee
heard detail after detail of the horrors

tolerantly because, as one expressed
it. apeople seem to think a revolution

vast hopelessness which has settled
over Russia, of the hatred of neighbor
for neighbor which is being system
atically fostered by the Soviet leaders,
and of the despair with which the suf-
tering people are looking to the Allies,
snd especially to America, for help.
Peasants Pray to President
"They even say the peasants are
playing to the American President

with counter revolutionary activity

an agitator for them. He was sem

taken out. He walked to his death with
a resignation which was one of the
most pltlful things l have ever seen.
Prince Shot Without Trial
"There was young prince there, and
he was taken out and shot without a
trial. Few of them had trials. This is
not hearsay. You only read about these
things and perhaps do not believe them

me that he saw Peters, the chief COM

the execution of seventy-onc officers
