RIVAL CANDIDATES FOR
TENNESSEE SUFFRAGE
Dy The Associated Press1

COLUMBUS, OHIO, July 23.--Gov-
ernor Cox, Democratic Presidential
nominee, told a delegation from the
National Woman's party that he al
ready had two or three men" work
ing among the members OF the Ten
nessee legislature to secure the SO
votes needed for ratification of the
federal woman suffrage amendment.
The suffrage delegation asked the
Governor to send personal repre-
sentative to Tennessee and were sur
prised and gratified to hear that the
candidate had beaten them to it."
as they said.
The Governor saw the suffrage
workers in a round OF conferences
prior to his departure for Dayton to
begin work on his speech of accep-
tance He was accompanied by Mrs.

AT LARGE
9 MONTHS, CAPTURED

After remaining at large for more
than nine months, having escaped
from road gang" of prisoners of
the Maryland penitentiary in Septem-
ber of last year, Harry j. Arnold, "a
years old, convicted before the Cir
cult Court for Anne Arundel county,
of the larceny of an automobile, again
is in the hands of the law. He was
re-arrested yesterday in Baltimore
where he had been employed as a
truck driver for the. last seven
months.
Il made no attempt to get away
from the police" Arnold said" Every
body in the neighborhood knew | was
home, and | rode around town on a
truck all day. / escaped last Septem-
ber because no one was watching, and
all had to do was walk away. NO,
| hadn't been put on my honor.
He says that for several weeks he
expected to be caught, but after he
went to work he thought the police
had forgotten about him.
Arnold. along with several other
men, was convicted before the local
Court in May, 1918

TO PLACE ANNAPOLIS
WELL TO FRONT IN
FEDERALEED GUARD

Will Annapolis again take her
place in military matters of the State
by reorganizing Company M as a
part of the famous First Maryland
Infantry?
The foregoing question is OF es-
pecial interest locally at the present
time and the prospects that an aftir-
native answer can soon be made
thereto are very encouraging.
On Monday night leading citizens
will meet to discuss ways and means
TO put the local company across with
the required quota of 100 men. Capt.
HAIRY L. Hagan, and his recruiting
party is here and will direct the work
of the reorganization. Captain Hagan
is the State recruiting officer for
Maryland, and cooperating with
Capt. Daniel J. Murphy, who is to
command the new unit, these gen.
tlemen are confident that not many
days will pass before announcement
that Company M is an assured fact.
Mondays meeting was originally
planned for tonight.
1t requires a minimum of SO Off
GERS and men to constitute COM
pany in the new Federalized National
Guard but just the fact that 50 men
is all that is needed, will not stop
the recruiting. 1t is the desire of
Captain Murphy and Lieutenant
Holley, second in command. not only
to have Company M reorganized,
but TO form if possible the largest
in the State, inasmuch as all
OF the towns throughout Maryland
have now the lead on Annapolis, hav-
ing completed the formation of COM
panies by securing the minimum num-
ber required.

LAST OF STUDENTS

Last of the students of st. Johns

special course which they have been
pursuing under the tutelage of DR.. w.
F. Clayton, of the Department of
Chemistry. and will leave Annapolis
in a few days to await the opening of
the fall term, when they will probably
enter the Medical College of Virginia,
at Richmond
Both of the students have taken the
summer course in a special effort to
reach the medical college require
ments, which are at present very high.
Cadet Morales has obtained credit for
the necessary units in one year of col
lege work, and special courses follow
ed during the summer. On the high
efficiency of the work which they have
done, both have been awarded GER
tificates for the completion of all uni
versity entrance requirements in

PAYING LEAST FOR
BEST SERVICE
President Berry, of c. & p. Tele-
phone Company Lays
Down The Law
AT PUBLIC HEARING

Laying down the law in no uncer-
tain terms yesterday at the telephone
rate hearing before the Public Service
Commission, President A. e. Berry, OF
the Chesapeake and Potomac Com
pany, told many OF the representa-
tives OF the country districts that they
were getting the most expensive kind
of service and paying the least for it,.
Mr. Berry's statement came at the end
of a long series of discussions by
various interests in the case:
II don't want il understood" he
said. that we come before this COM
mission asking for rates based on
haphazard foundation of guess work.
Our rates and our proposals have
stood the test of time and they are the
result OF long study and experience.
The ultimate test OF the telephone is
the way communities use the service.
The proper way to charge for tele-
phone service is in accordance with
its use; but measured service is un-
popular. The message rate is the
ideal solution of the problem, but peo-
pie would never stand to have the fiat
rate taken from them"
He said the next best thing after
message rates is to classify the tele-
phone exchanges of State as to the
number of subscribers and to impose
rates graded by classes. President
Berry further explained that in small
exchanges there is a point beneath
which rates could not be reduced. AS
an example he cited Oxford. with 81
subscribers, where the monthly rate
Is So, but the expense of maintenance
is 800 per telephone.
There are many places where it
costs enormously to furnish service
and we could not possibly charge
these people in accordance with the
cost; nor could we reduce the price of
service any lower than we have done,
because that only means some other
part OF the state would be paying the
cost. We would like to discontinue
Oxford and Ocean City and some other
exchanges that cost more money than
we receive, but the people there
would not stand it; and besides, those
communities have a right to grow.
