The book tells a story Of two He

detection until the very last Wat

with an exceptionally clever cast Of

waiting at the studio to be called for
a scene he sat down in an easy chair
in an unused set and fell asleep.
Finding him so Crisp called a still
photographer, had a photograph Of
the sleeping star made, and a print
therefrom rushed through in record
time. This print was propped up in
front of Washburn as circumstantial
evidence of his dereliction. Then
Crisp had all the clocks in sight turned

was awakened.
Later, by buying a glass OF some
thing which presumably IL not pro-
durable in this dry season for the
photographer, Washburn obtained a
confession that in spite of the testi-
mony of the photograph and the
clocks, he had actually slept less than
forty-five minutes. If Donald Crisp
thinks the affair is ended he is might
lily mistaken-that's all.

IMMIGRANTS ARE HELD UP

New York Oct. 21.--A copy of
Ponce De Leon's grant of Florida by
the King of Spain was shown to i'm
migration officials today by four Co.
lombian women, but it failed to quail
fly them for admission to the United
States from France in lieu of the pap
ers prescribed by immigration depart
ment regulations.
Evidence of possible ownership of
an entire Commonwealth of the Unit
ed States, acquired by inheritance
from the seeker of the Fountain of
Youth, was no tsufficient Identification
for the immigration inspectors. The
ogcals ruled that the women and
thirty-one other passengers must stay
aboard the steamship La Houraine
because they had not filled out "Form
228'
An appeal has been made to the
State Department to permit the en-
bargoed passengers to land. The Co
lombans incdulcM (f-IUh
lombians include Sonora Teresa De
Tanco, wife Of the former Colombian
minister to Peru and sister of the
minister to England.

SHOULD THE NATlON OPERATE THE WIRES?

upon an objection to the Govern nent's entering into competition with private enterprise, since there is no service possible through these sys- .ems save that of transmitting in- telIigence, which is a Government function. The main reliance of the opposition appears to be in exciting distrust of the Government. The opposing argument is based upon the theory implied if not expressed, that this is not a Government "of the people by the people" but is an institution capable of exercising a will, not that of the people, but of a body of men temporarily in power. In short. the proposition advanced appears to be that a great public function, in the operation of which every citizen is vitally interested, can be more safely entrusted to an as sociation of private individuals band ed together without responsibility to the public. than to the Government which is the only authorized agency of the entire people in the manage ment of public affairs.
 The public vii benefit from Gov lernment ownership and management of the wire systems, as they have from the growth of the postal ser vice under a policy which considers public needs and convenience, with out looking for profit. The growth of the country in industry, commerce and wealth has consistently coincid- ed with the extension of postal com munication, and the cost of the ser vice to the public has been reduced as the system has expanded. The fact that a needed extension of post routes might not be self-supporting has not hindered its being put in operation. The postal policy has been to consider the system of com muniction as a whole making the excess revenues from one branch meet the deficiencies of another. This policy applied to the wire service would give to the public a more ex- tended and less expensive means of speedy communication, and the economies possible under a unified system of operation would insure the | revenues being sufficient to cover all costs both of purchase and 1 operation.
 During sixty-five years of the period of postal operation there was a deficiency of revenue from the service, but the nation was com pensated for this expenditure by the service to industrial activity, increas.
 ing the wealth of the country an6
 swelling the nations revenues from
 other and proper sources. Today | there are more miles of post routes more post offices, and greater
 plume of mail than ever before ir

 1916 the audited surplus of posta
 revenue was more than $5,000, 900
 that of 1917 over s9,O00,000 and tha
 of 1918-not including $44,000, 00t
 collected for war revenue-was over $19, 100000.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-01-21

No new theory is advanced by the proposition for Government owner ship of the telephone and telegraph systems. It is not departure from the established principles of our Gov ernment.
 Any Justification for permitting the wire service to be permanently op- erated as an enterprise for private gain must be based on an assump- ton that the telegraph and telephone are not indispensable agencies of communication If the wire service is granted to be essential to the business and social intercourse of the public and necessary to the development of the country, the propriety of Government ownership and operations is at once estab- lished. The Government ras au- thority by provision of the Constitu- tion over the transmission of intel ligence, The wire service has no other utility than that of inter changing communications, and if 1t is essential to such interchange it comes within the province of the govern ment.
 The burden of proof rests upon those opposed to Government owner ship, to show cause why, when au- thority and responsibility for the transuission of intelligence rests with the government, this particular and blost efficient agency of communities ton should be operated for private gain Only as on-eSSential, a luxury of communication the use of which might be limited to a few or abandoned without injury to the gen eral public interest, can this service properly be left to discretionary con- trol of private interests, to be extend ed or restricted by the incentive of personal profit and subject to rates which may be prohibitive to a, large proportion of the population of the country.

 WEEKLY LETTER

Led by specdalues, the stock market has displayed considerable strength, part of which is due to retiring of short contracts by the hear element, whose activities lately were carried to excess so that the general list became overSold and was made more reSpon- slve to buying than to selling orders. The trading fraternity is referring to the market as @ speciality trading af- fair, and we think this movement is likely to continue for the present. Natural accumulation of funds in New York has been added to by the ap- pearance of money seeking invest ment because of slackening among in- dustrial lines. However, preparation for the Victory Liberty Loan fota- tion in the spring is a factor of re- straint, and no broad upward move ment is anticipated at the present time.
 United States Steel common has been in fairly good demand since the announcement that the figure of 92 has been named by the corporation as the price at which employees may sub scribe for stock. Other steel issues have sympathized with this firmness, refecting considerable short covering. The large short interest outstanding in the copper list has been providing a good supporting factor in this group. A feeling is developing in the Street that the best of the copper shares have laregly discounted by their declines many adversities of re- adjustment. It should not be over looked that leading producing con- panies are in possession of substan- tial surpluses with which to tide over the period of unsettlement and small CT volume of business.
 l The public utility situation contin- ues unsettled. The uncertainties sur rounding the New York fractions since the receivership for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit have not been cleared away. In cities above 100000 popula- tion higher fares have been granted or are pending in 63 out of 67. Yet New York has hesitated to give it's great systems fair treatment. The Public Service Commission of Massa- chusetts has granted Q ten-cent cash fare for the city lines of the Bay State Railway, a system covering practically all of the eastern section of the state outside of Boston. Relief measures by state Legislation have been urged upon Albany, and it is hoped that a satisfactory adjustment will be effected.
 A large number of northern states are reporting a surplus of labor. More are expected to follow. This is looked upon as a natural tendency toward liquidation of labor, something that is certain to reduce excessive costs. Experts are expressing themselves as expecting high money rates for some time to come. Tested by price levels in leading markets. gold is declared to have lost half it's puchasing power since the beginning of the war. Agi- tation is beginning to lift the em- bargo on gold exports. Active stock market interests are giving special attention to food stocks, rubber is- sues, tobacco securities and oil shares. The companies represented are cred ,,tted with having adjusted themselves to new conditions.
 Outside of New York, as well as in this center, there is a movement

tent the development of the country is retarded and business enterprise embarrassed and restrained.
 The privilege to enjoy means of communication belongs to the entire public without discrimination, and 1t is to the interest, as well as being an obligation of the government, that the best possible means for the transmission of intelligence shall be maintained.
 The same reasons exist for Govern ment ownership and control of cleo trical communication as for that by letter post. Any argument against government-owned telegraph and telephone systems would apply as well to the letter-post service. II would be ss reasonable to entrust the mails to the expediencies of private conveyance at proft-earning rates of hostage, as to so treat the wire ser vice. The telegraph and telephone constitute public utility of unfVer- sal necessity to which the entire psb- lie are entitled on the most reason able terms possible, and to be effic- tent the systems must be connected throughout all their extensions, as is the postal service, and not be main tained as separate and independent units limited to areas of profitable operation. As a single system cover ing the entire country, the service must of necessity be monopoly. As such, monopoly of public utility performing a Government function, il should be operated for the public ser vice and convenience, not for private profit
