Surcharge of 10 Per Cent to
Continue Under Injunc-
tion Against Rates i'll
L. S. Court.
Judges in Agreement

Northwestern Bell Telephone com
pany subscribers must continue 20
pay 10 per cent surcharge for sew.
eral months.
An injunction granted by federal
judges yesterday halts at least for the
time being the new rate schedule pro.
posed by the Nebraska State Railway
commission, which would have re-
moved the surcharee December /.
Hence until a final rate revision is
made. the surcharge must be payed
by phone subscribers.
Phone Company Victory.
The decision made by unanimous
vote of Federal Judges Munger, Lewis
and Woodrough, was regarded as a
victory by counsel for the Northwest
ern Bell Telephone company. which
applied for the INJUNCTION. The new
rates. fixed by the railway commits.
sion, would have cut the company's s
revenue about 100000 by the remov.
al of the surcharge, it was contended.
Judge Munger. who read the de-
cision, refused however, to permit
the telephone company to fix new
rates of it's own. lie held that the
showing made at the hearing yester-
day indicated that it was very doubt
full II the company could cut oper
ating expenses enough to make what
1t claimed to be necessary revenue.
A special master will probably be
appointed by Judge Munger to make
final disposition of the rate case, and
counsel indicated that it probably
would require some five or six months
to complete the hearing.
Bond of $3.50, 600.
In the meantime the 10 per cent
surcharge on exchange rates will be
continued. The company put up $780,
600 as bond that it would refund
money collected above what the COM
missions rate schedule permits should
the final decision be against the COM
pany.
The state railway commissions $
proposed rate schedule increased the
company's revenue about $150,000 an
nually on toll rates. 100000 on p. y.

other adjustments which would add
about $4,000, according to Corpora
tion Counsel Lambert. who represent
ed the city in the hearing.
Toll Rates Hold.
The judges decided that the in.
junction should not apply to these
new toll rates or new private ex-
change rates. fixed by the commits.
sion. This. according to Mr.. Lam.
bert makes the telephone rates high.
er than ever in the past.
During the hearing counsel for the
telephone company declared a grave
emergency exists for the company
and that the proposed rate schedule
OF the commission would be con-
fiscatory.

no ill effect from his experience.
While under advice not to exert
himself physically for day or two
the chief justice has been working
with his secretaries in his library the

Days Session at
Lausanne Breaks
Up in Squabble
Turkish Delegate Blames For
mer Premier Nenizelos for
Recent Greek Military
Disaster.

Lausanne. Dec. 21.-(By A. PA
stirring alteration occurred at a
meeting of the subcommission on mi
norities today between tho former
Greek premier. Venizelos. and the
Turkish delegate. Ria Nur Bey. The
dispute arose over the question of
responsibility for Greek deportations
in Asia Minor, and was so violent
that it became necessary to adjourn
tho session.
According to spok esmen of the
Turkish delegation. Ria Nur Bey de-
clared that the Greek army was not
so much responsible for the recent
military disaster as was Venizelos
himself. because it was Nenizelos who
had inaugurated the idea of mill
tary invasion of Anatolia.
! Ria affirmed that in his opinion
the Greek ministers who were recent
ly executed at Athens were in all prob
ability entirely innocent of deceiving
the Greek people. because the real
father of the Asia Minor campaign
was Nenizelos.
Warming Disregarded.
The Italian chairman OF the sub
committee. Signor Montagna, had
previously warned both the Turkish
and Greek delegates that references
to massacres and cruelties must hence
forth be avoided, but the Turks al
legged, Venizelos today refused TO obey
this injunction. He declared bitter
indictment against the Turkish army
and went so far, the Turkish dele
gates asserted, that the chairman was
obliged repeatedly to call him to or
der.
After insistent attempts at this.
RIA Nur Bey eventually got the floor
and defended Turkey. and then made
personal attack on the former
Greek premier.
Another indication that feeling is
running high between the Turks and
the Greeks was found in a commu

Aiming to Give Realism.

ELAINE HAMMERSTEIN'S new
L screen story, Reckless Youth
which opens Washington engage
ment today at the Palace, furnishes
rather remarkable instance of the
lengths to which the producers OF
motion pictures will go in ine effort
to place their productiess on a high
plane of realism. .
AS a mere incident Of the story OF
Reckless Youth" there is mentioned
the collision of an ocean-going yacht
and a transa tlantic liner. The col
lision does not actually take place,
but is jumbled dream of the heroine
while presumably unconscious. from
the shock of motor accident. In the
written script of the photoplay the
collision is dismissed with only. few
words of description. On the stage
it would be enacted by indirection:
but in the picture it becomes a viva
and exciting scene, calling for the
outlay of thousands of dollars ana
almost infinite ingenuity and effort.
The girls dream of the collision Is
shown as realistically as II one were
on a third vessel within hundred
yards OF the occurrence. An actual
liner and a luxurious ocean-golng
yacht were specially chartered FOR
the collision and repaired afterward
to make a scene that occupies not
more than sixty seconds to snow on
the SCREEN. This Is the story by
Cosmo Hamilton that was picturlzed
by Ralph 1nce
