Mr.. Thompson is mayor OF Chicago.

To A. w. Stanmeyer, president of

man replied.
Mr. Bangs assured the commission
the engineers and accountants of the
telephone company were at the dis
posal of the commission and would
go after any information asked The
hearing was postponed to Dec. Is to
enable the telephone company to pre-
pare certain records the regulating
body wishes.
Attorney Jacob H. Ringer, who rep
resented the city in litigation before
the former commission, entered an
appearance for the city in the tele-
phone rate case, and at the start di-
rected a fierce attack on the state
ment made by Mr.. Bangs at the open
ing of the hearing. Mr.. Bangs had
said in substance:
I'VE are today offering an appraisal
as of July 81, 1921. 1t does not in
clude overhead. 1t can be completed,
we think, by the end of the year.
Our financial statements up to
August first are on file with the com
mission. They show that our operat-
ing expenses in Chicago have not de-
creased during 1921 but have, as a
matter of fact, actually increased.
This is true as to total expenses and
as to the average cost. If the com
mission wishes to check over our
books they are at your disposal"
Il am amazed Attorney Ringer
said, repeating many things he used
TO say to the former commission. Il
was in the telephone hearing before
the former commission thirteen
months. One of the things we con
tended for day after day was an ap-
praisal of the telephone company S
property. We could get only a book
keepers statement. We were told it
would take a year to prepare and
would cost $1,000,000.
I'VE ask that this commission in

this company. By the proper use OF
red ink they can make a showing

Washington, Nov. 23.-Opinions have

gates with such unprecedented direct
ness that with the conference only ten
days old some of the experienced diplO-

most with precision, what will and

sweeping naval reduction proposal at

Again there was a demand that

Mr.. Penrose then said he had no de-

at hand. In thc same way, the readi-
ness of all the nations TO commit
themselves to general principles relat-
ing to the Far East. and the outspolen
objection of Japan 10 discussing de-
tails of that situation, seem to have
quickened a conviction that adoption
of a set of principles like the four
agreed upon yesterday will be the out
come of the Far Eastern end of the
negotiations.
In addition. the whole question OF
land armament appears to have been
pretty well settled by the frank pre-
sentation of the case of France deliv-
cred in yesterdays plenary session by
Premier BRAND. The French states
man made it at once apparent
that definite readjustmentS of land
forces will be impossible in the view
of France because of existing cOndi-
