TWO TRAVELLERS CAME BACK
According to Army Captain, Mules Re-
a, turned From That Dim and
Undiscovered Shore.

The regimental morning report Is a
fearsome document. On 1t appear all
the changes In status Of men and ami
mails for each preceding "a hours. II
happened In an Ohio regiment once
that two mules fell Ill one night. The
veterinarian gave his verdict Of hope
less. and the captain Of the supply
company accordingly made the proper
entry on the morning report: Two
mules. from duty to dead"
But under the care Of the grixzled
cid stable sergeant the mules recov'
cred and next morning the captain
found them alive and kicking. Now,
entries made on the morning report
can never be erased. which made the
situation embarrassing for the cap
tain. However. he was a man of ne
source. and the next days report car.
ried the startling entry: Two mules.
from dead to duty"

TRY TO TRACE Use
OF PHONE REVENUES
Bell Official Admits Large Pay
ments to American Telephone
and Telegraph Co.
RATE RISE HEARING on
Bu q star Corrospordent

Harrisburg, May 12.-Counsel for
the complainants against the rate in
creases charged by the Bell Telephone
Co. into the relations between the Bell
and the American Telegraph and Tele-
phone Co. at the hearing today before
the Public Service Commission.
One of the contentious of the COM
plainants has been that Of the Telegraph
and Telephone Co. gets the largest
portion of the Bell company's revenues.
G. W. Hazard, chief accountant for
the Bell was on the witness stand
showing the upward trend Of the com
pany's payroll. He said the average
wages on April 1, this year, were 81
per cent higher than January l. 1919.
He declared the Bell company estimated
that it would require this year S11 .SS1.
900 for needed construction and of this
sum SO 800 900 is available from the
depreciation reserve.
G. X. Robinson. chief counsel for the
complainants. asked Hazard the total
amount of toll or long distance money
collected by the company last year
Hazard said It amounted to S6,O52.543,
90, of which $4, 800, ,225 was received
from service over the lines Of the Tele-
grph and Telephone Co. .,
In addition to this the witness said
the Bell paid to the Telegraph and
Telephone Co. 1,132, ,443 as license
revenues that included rentals and en- =
gineering advice. He could not state
the total revenue paid to the American n
Co. by the Bell on business that origi-
mated within the state, he said.
Robinson developed during the cross
examination that the Bell has invest :
companies in Virginia, West Virginia
and Delaware and that the revenue from
those sources last year amounted to
1858 ,306. He also drew out that 800.
600 was set aside each year for the
sinking fund when the company has a
surplus and which is made up other
wise when there was no surplus.

BRANDEIS IS ELIMINATED
British Mandate for Palestine Makes
Him Ineligible as High Commissioner

London, May 12.-(By A. PD-
Prior to the granting to Great Britain
of the mandate for Palestine, Louis Il.
Brandeis, associate justice of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States, and
the Right Hon. Herbert l.. Samuel. for
mer secretary of the state for home
affairs, were most favored for the post
of high commissioner, according to in :
formation received by the Associated
Press.
But Great Britain having been made
the mandatory power virtually elimi-
mated consideration of the American jur-
list and an official announcement of the
appointment of Mr.. Samuel is regarded
as assured within few days.
Mr.. Samuel recently returned from a
three months tour Of Palestine. Since
his return to England from Palestine
Mr.. Samuel has expressed the belief that
a large majority Of the Arabs are. not
unfavorably disposed toward Britons
and said the Jews deprecated the sug-
gestions that the recent troubles in Jeru-
salem were directed against the British.
A romantic sidelight to Mr.. Samuel S
prospective appointment as high com :
missioner to Palestine is the engagement
of his son Edwin to Hadassah Grazov =
sky, of Jaffa, whom he met while serv-
ing as a lieutenant in a British regi-
ment in Palestine.

No eulogy was delivered, Doctor
Grant explaining this was the wish of
the novelist.
"Simplicity marked his life, and he
wished to have simplicity mark his de =

clergyman.
Simplicity was religion with him.
He was brought up on the philosophy
of Swedenborg and in spite of the real
ism he was noted for, he had some OF
