BURDEN
 UTILITIES DOCKET
Total of Sixteen, Majority By Railroad Companies, Are
 Set for Hearing

Montgomery, February 5.-(SpeciaL)- Hearing on the petition of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company against the Frisco Railroad company for cer- tain 'coking in transit rates in the min eral district of Alabama will form per- haps the most important proceeding be- fore the Alabama public service com opens Monday morning.
 Rates sought by the Sloss company would be, in effect, a rate on coal shipped to coke ovens and reconsigned from such ovens to consumers, all in intrastate ship ments. and would apply to other com panies engaged in the same business as the Sloss-Sheffield company, if decided In it's favor.
 The commissions docket carries Is pe- titions, a majority of them being pro- ceedings brought by railroad companies and the American Railway Express com pany to discontinue railroad and express offices. Two important cases originally docketed for this sitting of the commis- sion have been postponed, among them the proposed extension by the Alabama Great Southern, Louisville and Nashville, Mobile and Ohio railroads and the Tus- caloosa Railway and Utilities company of their switching limits from Tusca- loosa to the Alabama insane hospital. and for the revision of certain alleged ex- orbitant rates on iron ore, coal and coke transorted within the state.
 The Tuscaloosa insane hospital case de- yeloped through the levying of certain local rates on commodities consigned to the hospital from the Tuscaloosa depots to points of destination. which, it is held adds considerably to the cost of the com modities in question. The hearing is con- tirued by reason of the fact that attor- neys for both sides of the issue are en- gagged before the interstate commerce commission at Washington, while the raw materials rate case is continued by reason of the fact that attorneys are not readv to Suhtnit their arguments.

 TELEPHONE INCREASE

Troy, February 5.-(Special. )-Troy is going to make a fight against the pro- posed raise in the telephone rates for the city. The papers have been turned over to Judge T. L. Boron, who is city attorney, to institute suit against the Fell Telephone company to prevent the raise.
 Mayor Folmar states that the matter will be taken up with the Alabama public service commission and that the city is prepared to fight the matter through the supreme court if necessary. During the war an agreement was made between the city and company that no fight would be made on a raise then, but that afterwards the regular rates should prevail, and it is against this raise that the complaint is made, as it is not held to be legal.

The Film Mutual Benefit Bureau, at
4 West Fortieth street, New York, asks
permission from you and your friends to
allow reliable motion picture companies
the privilege Of filming your property.
The fee paid by the motion picture
companies for this permission Is divided
between two philanthropies. the Mater

lean Committee for Devastated France.
The fee paid from $50 to $500 varies
according to the value OF locations and
the time occupied in taking the pictures.
Any one lending property is protected
from all possible damage by a contract
drawn by Messrs. Perkins and Train"
One OF the first finished products OF
the bureau will be seen in the new ball
room of the Plaza Hotel on the night OF

iaries there Will be a first showing OF
the filmed version OF "Peter Ibbetson."

the filming OF the play, the executive
committee found that It had In Mr.. and

tire and Devastated France.

N THEN a group OF practical
w women decided few months
ago to brigade society into the
big business OF making motion pic
lures as a phase of philanthropic
propaganda their enthusiasm was un-
limited. but they did not dare hope for
much. Their aim was to persuade
owners Of fine city houses and extern
sive country places TO capitalize their
homes for the benefit of the unfor-
tunate and, having accomplished that,
!. TO convince the producers OF motion
pictures that they could save money
by utilizing such settings for their
scenarios.
Those women, with Mrs Gordon
Knox Bell at their head, have sue
ceeded in both their aims and have
established the Film Mutual Benefit
Bureau at 4 West Fortieth street as
o paying enterprise, from which the
American Committee for Devastated
France and the Maternity Centre AS
sociation Of New York are receiving
substantial incomes. The charm of
the outcome of the project lies in the
fact that, unlike the average char
table effort, 1t is business PROPOSE
ton that promises TO become a perma-
nent booking bureau in the motion
picture world.
Average Fee Ii 500.
