ADMIT BLOCKING
WESTERN UNION
CABLE LANDING
Secretaries Colby, Baker and
Daniels Say They Acted
Under Direct Orders of
President Wilson.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Admitting
interference with the landing on
American shores of the Western
Union cable from Barbados and
stating that they acted under di-
rect orders of President Wilson,
Secretaries Colby, Baker and Dam
ields filed today in the district su-
preme court their answers in the
suit brought by the telegraph COM
pany for an injunction restraining
them from preventing the landing
of the cable line.
The cabinet officers say an in
junction would inflict injury on the
government and people of the
United State and would hamper
President Wilson in the conduct of
negotiations with foreign countries
on the subject of cable commune
cations
Secretary Colby argues the right
of the president to deny a landing
privilege to any foreign-owned ca
BILE unless equal rights are given
by the foreign country for the
landing of American-owned cables.
Asserting that the Western Union
Telegraph company with which the
Western Union line would connect
at Barbados, has an inter -costai
cable monopoly in Brazil, Mr.. Col
by contends the landing of the
Western Union cable would further
the alleged monopoly and exclude
American companies from compe-
tition with the British company.

COPPER MINING
COMP ANY PASSES
UP A DIVIDEND
Anaconda Concern AnnounC-
es That No Action Will Be
Taken on Account of Met
at Market Conditions.
lRr The Associated Press

New York, Dec. 2S.-The Ana
conda Copper Mining company to-
day passed the dollar quarterly
dividend it has been paying since
May 20, 1919.
Directors of the company, after
their meeting. issued a statement
in which they said that on account
of prevailing conditions in the
metal market, no action will be
taken on dividends.
"a lack of demand for export,
low market prices and a reduced
output due to curtailed operations
resulting in increased cost of pro-
duction are factors which combined
have decreased the earning power
of the company during the year
Just closing" the statement added.
Since 1904, Anaconda, which was
leading subsidiary of the Anal
gamated Copper company, has paid
annual dividends ranging from rs
per cent down to per cent, the
high in 1907 and the low in 1915,
Last years rate was 8 per cent
and that of this year s per cent.
In common with copper shares,
Nlldtpliud has btVli WAN NNAi INC
the last few months, reflecting the
adverse conditions in the metal
producing and refining industries.
Anaconda declined three-fourths
of a point to 30% on announcement
of the passing of the dividend to-
day and then dropped a full point
in the next few sales,
Wall street expressed no sur
prise at the action of the Anaconda
directors, which evidently had
been discounted in the present
price of the stock.
The company's net profits for
1920 as estimated by the directors
were $2,591,S20, and its surplus
$60,479,4S7. These figures made
allowances for all claims, including
taxes, interest charges and depre-
citation of bond holdings. Divi-
dends paid during 1920 amounted
to $6,993,750.

STORY OF A DEVOTED
DOG OF LOCAL FAME
IN LITERARY DIGEST

The Literary Digest for Decem-
her rs contains under the title
"The Odyssey OF a Devoted DOG"
an article concerning a dog which
walked all the way from Albu-
querque back to Fort Scott. Kans.,
a distance of 956 milas. The dog
was brought here in November.
1919. by Roy M. Coe. but shortly
thereafter disappeared to return
to his idol, Miss May Hight. his
owners sister-in-law.
Albert Payson Terhune tells the
story of Bud. the collie. as follows:
bud travelled to Albuquerque In
a baggage car. Thus he had no
chance to study the route-if, in
deed, a dog could do such thing.
In November, 1919, soon after the
Goes arrival in New Mexico, Bud
vanished. For eight months moth
ing was heard of him.
Then in the middle of July, 1920,
as Goes sister-in-law sat at her
desk in the Fort Scott Gas COM
pany's office, in Kansas, Bud came
limping in through the open door
and sank down. worn out, at the
astounded womar1's feet.
The collie had come nome
home to the diety for whose sake
he had Travelled for the best part of
thousand miles. through un-
known country and through I'M
counted dangers.
Nobody knows how Bud found
his way all that weary distance,
over unfamiliar grounds. nor now
often in that eight months ne mad
been captured and tied up, some
where or other. and forced to bide
his time until he could escape and
continue his endless homeward
journey.
The fact remains that this collie
had travelled more than nine hun
bred miles, guided only by his mys-
FERROUS instinct and by his yearning |
to be back at the feet of the
human he worshiped. A human !
could have asked the way, could |
have stolen rides. could have
begged or worked for food and !!
railroad fare. The dog had only
his uncanny collie brain to guide |
him to his mistress. I had a long
letter from her. today, verifying |
this and telling me the story in
full. She says the dog was in q
condition when he
dragged himself into her office and
to her feet, and that ne stiffens up
and snarls in hatred now whenever
be hears the bowling of the wolves
N the Fort Scott zoo. some of his
,cars evidently being the marks of |

BISHOP PLEADS
FOR UNITING Of
ALL CHURCHES
(By The Associated Press,

Boston, Dec. 2S.-Bishop Will
liam Lawrence of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts
pleaded for church unity that
would include the Roman Catholic
and eastern churches, at an inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL church conference
here.
Bishop Lawrence's plea, based on
the Lambeth conference in Eng
land, which suggested the inter-
change of ordination through which
one church would recognize and
accept the minister of another in
administering the sacrament, start
ed considerable discussion.
II have felt" said Bishop Law
renee, that the reunion of church,
es can come by the quiet, subtle
influence of prayer that will melt
the differences. In the holy COM
munion there is the test of unity.
Let this have a vision of all Chris
tian people including the whole
world, including the Roman Cath
ole church and the Russian
church. If you are going to have
unity you cannot do anything that
will shut out that great body of
Christian people"
Bishop Lawrence was asked
whether the validity of other
churches services was recognized
by the Church of England. He re-
piled that much depended upon the
meaning of the word validity add
ing that in "the war clergymen
were out to minister to all"
He was also asked whether. ac-
cording to the Church Of England.
an ordination in that church gives
more grace and authority in the
Interpretation of the scriptures.
"That is an administrative fea-
ture," Bishop Lawrence replied.
.I do not believe ! had more au-
thority or power the day after or
dination than the day before"
Bishop William Hughes of the
Methodist Episcopal church. who
presided, declared that he would
not take another ordination for
a million dollars"
IT could have you" he said to
Bishop Lawrence, Eat any time to
take part in the service of my
church, but I would have to de-
cline to be ordained anew to take
part in yours"
In closing Bishop Lawrence adj
vised the conference to "go slow.
praying. thinking, talk
ing together"
