Telephone Company Opens
 Local Selling Campaign

The sale of an issue of seven per cent cumulative preferred stock of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Com- pany, was started in this city today Manager S. M. Wimberly has just returned from where he attended a conference on the stock issue. Those attending the conference were Mana ger S. M. Wimberly, S A. Lane, Div ision General Manager, Curtis Stout District Manager, Ernest Sowell Sup ervisor of Stock Sales, and O. s. Will Hams, Advertising Manager.
 We feel" Manager Wimberly said today, that the company is making noteworthy advance in offering this stock through it's employees. When the issue was first mentioned in St. Louis, one brokers house offered to underwrite the entire amount. It is our desire at this time, however, to sell the issue solely through our own organization
 By doing this we not only get a large number of our own subscribers, and the public in general, interested in the ownership of our company This issue is Southwestern stock for the people of the Southwest and we of Ash down want to do everything in our power to put it over
 "The stock, par value $100,00, and bearing seven per cent interest year, is to be offered on two plans First, the full amount in cash and secord, a liberal partial payment plan. Under the first plan, the purchaser merely pays $100.00 in cash and his stock is delivered immediately. Incidentally one or more shares of this stock would make a most acceptable Christmas present.
 "The second plan is liberality itself. Under it, the purchaser pays so much per month until his $100.00 or more
 
 he buys one share, He pays $500 down and $500 the first of each month for IS months. All of the time he is paying installments on the stock, the money so paid in is drawing seven per cent interest At the end of the IS months, his stock is credited with the amount paid in, together with the sev- en per cent interest paid on the in stallments.
 Unto this installment plan, the company has injected an idea which is entirely new in such matters. If a purchaser found himself little hard pressed for money and found that he

 Both the United States and Japan, it is declared, required a commitment by Great Britain, as both the Philip pines and Formosa might be defense less against the British naval bases and Notifications at Hong Kong and Kowloon if positive assurance respect ing British intentions should not be given.

 age Modified.

Balfour and Baron Kato with proposed tonnage notifications which are awaiting approval of the British government This was learned tonight following a long conference of the leaders Cf the three big naval powers.
 According to the fhost reliable re- ports obtainable the agreement on notifications of the capital ship rbn- nages is as follows:
 Japan to retain the Mutsu, which mounts eight 16 inch guns and substi- ute that vessel for the dreadnought Setsu which carries twelve 12-inch guns, which would be scrapped,
 The United States to retain the su- per-dreadnoughts Colorado and Wash ingtOn, each mounting eight 16-inch guns and each displacing 32,6OO tons, in place of the dreadnoughts Delaware and North Dakota, each mounting ten 12-inch guns, and each displacing 2O,- GOO tons. both of which would be scrapped.
 England to retain two of the so- called new Hoods. each of which as originally planned would mount twelve 16-inch guns and dispIace 43,- 900 tons, making them more powerful than either the Colorado or Mitsu classes, but to retain them only with the understanding that they shall not exceed 32,60O tons; Great Britain to scrap two other ships of the King George class
 To Limit Great Britain.
 The negotiations which are delay ing formal announcement of the agree ment are said to concern Pacific for tifications based on insistence by the United States and Japan that Great Britain agree to limit her fortifica- tions and naval bases in the Pacific maintaining the status quo in respect of defensive and aggressive naval stations.
 Great Britain is reported to have made the original suggestion that the United States agree to limit Pacific pan to recede from her desire for Notifications as an inducement to Ja-

PACKERS WORKING.
 AWAITING RESULT
100000 Men Affected Are Work
 ing on Wage Decreases

] Chicago, March 14.-While await ! ing the outcome of mediation plans 1 and the result of strike vote. em- l ployes in the packing plants of Chi cago and other centers in the middle west had decided to go to work today under the reduced wage scale an l nounced by the five leading packers which goes into effect today. More than 100000 men are affected by the reductions of 15 and 12 1-2 per cent i. in the hourly rate and piece work rate respectively, with time and a half for overtime only after ten hours.
 At mass meetings held in half a dozen packing cities yesterday the workers were advised to remain at work until the strike vote was com pleted which it was said would be about Friday. Union leaders, suggest ed Friday, March IS, the date for tha proposed conference in Washing ton of representatives of employers aHd employees with James D. Davis, secretary of labor According to re- ports here Secretary Davis has as yet received but one official response from the packers to his mediation proposal. Wilson and Co. agreed to send two representatives.
 In a drastic shake up of the police department Captain Wesley H. West brook was on duty today in the stockyards police district because of his ability to cope with labor troubles, Chief of Police Fitzmorris said.
 Our cut in wages is small when compared to other firms" said a statement from Armour and Co. We have a list of 21 other firms reduc- ing wages where the decr,a ,ases ran from 14.25 to 33.34 per cent. The stockholders of Armour and Go. could not dodge the fact that we are losing money. That is why wages are re- duced.
 Any assertion that we are at tempting to establish a ten hour day
 is wrong. The guarantee of extra pay for overtime after 54 hours in any one week makes this impossible"
 Thousands of packing house em- ployes marched in the rain yesterday and later listened to leaders who urged them not to start a runaway strike.''
 Packing house employees in Fort Worth, Kansas City, and Sioux City, also decided at mass meetings yester- day to go to work today pending com pletion of the strike vote. Employees

ANTI-JEWISH FIGHT
 RACES IN VIENNA
Serious Disorders Threaten. But Police Finally Succeed In QueIIing
 Disturbances.

Vienna, March fl (By Associate ed PresS) ).-Anti-Jewish disorders which broke out here last evening threat ened for a time to develop into a seri- ous situation but the police late in the evening succeeded in scattering crowds on the streets and in prevent ing possible loss of life. Shops owned by Jews were damaged by stones thrown by riotous crowds and in a few cases Jews were beaten.
 The disorder began at the congress of the Austrian Anti-Semitic associa- tion which was addressed by speakers who urged radical measures \ They advocated pogroms and the organiza- tion of Christians in Austria.
 While these things were going on large crowds assembled in the Rath- ahuse square where similar addresses were given, speakers declaring that the Jews constituted a menace be- cause of prof1igate living. Two Jew iSh students were found in crowd and were beaten and driven away.
 At dusk the meeting broke up and a great crowd swept through the streets singing German songs and shouting Away with the Jews"
 The crowd moved steadily toward a Jewish quarter of the city but large torcel of police had been summoned to bridges across the canal over which the crowds must move. The rioters were turned back but there was more or less rowdyism and street fighting before the police succeeded in dis persing the mob. =

HOW TO SET, COLORS.


 Before making up gingham house i dresses and childrens school frocks the color should be set and the ma terial shrunk. Setting the color will take care of the shrinking, too, so that one process really does all the work.
 Two ounces of alum dissolved in g tub of water is used to set light blue, pink, green, lavender, red and purple. Let the fabric stand in the water for half or three-quarters of an hour.
 A strong solution of salt water may be used to set dark blue, gray and yellow.
 Black cotton should be put into boiling hot suds and allowed to stand till the water is cool.
 Menu for Tomorrow.
 Breakfast-Oranges. waffles. sirup, coffee.
 Luncheon-Potato and cheese soup, brown bread and butter, pickles, gin- ger bread. tea.
 Dinner-Sauerkraut and weiners with dumplings. mashed potatoes, cherry pie. coffee.
 My Own Recipes.
 If the sauerkraut is cooked in the oven there will be little odor. This is an excellent dish to serve for many reasons. It's cheap, it's nourishing and it's appetizing to those who like it and stimulates a jaded appetite.

MANDATORY RIGHTS.

The state department has done
well to notify the League Of Ma
tions that the United States in
sists upon equal rights for itself
n the mandatory areas taken from
the defeated powers by the victors
in the world war. Had America
not been in the war, there would
have been no territory for distri-
button among the allies. The
least Europe can do in return is
to agree not to bar American cit
liens from the land acquired by
American help.
Apart from the simple justice Of
the state departments claim, the
allies will be doing themselves q
good turn by letting Americas in.

velopine any Of the newly acquir-
ed colonies will benefit the man

atng power in the territory which
it administers. American partici-
patton in the process of exploita-
ton will stimulate production, and
this in turn will encourage trade
not only with the United States,
but also with the mother country.
The mandatory nations may de-
clare they are providing the mon
ey for developing the new ter
ritories and therefore they are en-
titled to monopolistic rights. But,
once Americans enter the pioneer
areas, American money will fol
low. The more Americans are al
lowed in, the more the demand on
Europe's depleted capital will be
relieved.
The United States denies to no
European citizens the right Of in
vesting in the development Of this
country and reaping the raward
that comes from judicious invest
ments. A good part Of the pio-
neer funds used in America came
from abroad. The early American
railways, for instance, were fl
nanced largely by Europeans.
To reverse the process is all
that America now asks Of Europe
in the mandatory areas. That is
to say, America wants only the
right to invest American money
in pioneer development, without
exemption from the risks inheri-
ent in all such explorations

arl the railroad commission is or
dered by the circuit court to send
up the entire record of the case.
The court will then review the re-
cord as it stands with the same
text and the same pleadings. The
supersedeas refers to the suspen-
sion or stay Of proceedings.
Attorney General Robertson
holds that the order of the rail-
road commission is based upon an
erroneous conception of the law
in the case and therefore the order
is illegal. He declares the order
is Vague and indefinite and not
proper. The attorney general fur
ther holds that since the Cumber-
land Telephone and Telegraph
Company asks only for an increase
in exchange rates it should have
shown to the railroad commission
the expense of the exchange ope-
rations as distinguished from the
toll operations, in order that the
commission might know which was
too high or too low. The Cumber-
land officials declared they could
not do this, Mr.. Robertson said.
The original application of the
Cumberland for an increase in
rates was filed last Sentemher
and was first heard in November.
The attorney generals arguments
were submitted in January. Briefs
were filed on March End and the
case decided on that date.
