NEW RATES ON FEEDER
CATTLE AND SHEEP

The Southern Pacific Railroad Co
has announced new rates on feeder
cattle and sheep from Los Angeles
to points in California which, ac-
'cording to General Manager J. A.
McNaughton, of the Los Angeles
Union Stock Yards, amounts to re-
duction of Is per cent of the rates
charged for fat stock.
"The Southern Pacific Company
said Mr.. McNaughton, had already
announced the application of its re-
consignment rule on stock shipped
into the Los Angeles market where
Los Angeles is an intermediate point.
In other words, the through rate ap-
plies with an added charge of $40
a car to cover handling at the Los
Angeles terminal. Where it is an
haul to bring the ship
ment to the Los Angeles market then
the local rate to final destination
and in this case the terminal charge
would not be added"
"The reconsignment privilege
opens the Los Angeles market tn the
feeder cattle and sheep of Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas and to the
feed lots not only in the San Joaquin
valley but all other parts of the state
where Los Angeles is en- route.

MILLIONAIRE PREFERS HIS
 COOK TO HIS OWN FAMILY
Michigan Man Also Flies to Her De- fense When She Is Threatened
 With Being Deported.

Muskegon, Mich, Jan. S.-Eugene Meurer. millionaire paper manufac- turer, was planning today to fight threatened deportation proceedings which would deprive him again of his cook, Miss Margaret Wasserman, AZ years old.
 Miss Wasserman, whose culinary talents, Meurer declared, are essen- tial to his health, was arrested here last night on instructions of immi- grafton authorities who allege she entered the United States last year in violation of the federal statutes. She was taken to the county jail and released on bond of $1,000 furnished by Meurer. She then returned to the Meurer home.
 The presence of Miss Wasserman in. the Meurer home was the contro- versy between Meurer and his fam fly eliminating finally in a divorce. In property settlement at the time Meurer gave his wife s50,000 and announced he had awarded Miss Wasserman s40,0 as a reward for her services.
 Miss Wasserman's arrest last night is said to have been based on an affidavit made in New York Decem- Der by Mrs. Walter Voith, a daugh- ter of Meurer, in which she alleged Miss Wasserman's position in the was not strictly that of a cook; that she was German citizen and that she had made statements derogatory to the United States.

FAULT FOUND WITH
 TELEPHONE SERVICE
Chamber of Commerce in Receipt of Numerous
 Complaints

1 Complaints of unsatisfactory serv' lice by the Southern New England Telephone company were referred to the directors of the Chamber Of Com merce at the weekly luncheon today These complaints are some wnich have been coming in to the Champer of Commerce rooms from time 10 time. Prior to this time little atten- ton has been paid to the reports, the Chamber of Commerce officials feel ing that they were being made by chronic kickers, but they have been coming so frequently of late that 1t has been felt recently that something should be done.
 Among the charges that are made is the one accusing the operators of being impudent, delay in getting cails through, frequent mistakes In gettlng the right numbers, snapping on ny cperators before the person calling has time to finish what he or she has started to say, reports of people not having telephones in their home when their numbers have been chang ed, etc.
 Most of the trouble according to
 
 the complaint. is based on the lacK ol an up to date book. Instead or state book issued every few months New Britain gets but one small book with nearby cities in it twice year. This makes for inconvenience in call ing toll calls unless the person call ing knows the number of the other phone.
 One of the complaints states that if a person calling wants to put in second call at once, he or she very often is unable to get the operator for time.
 Another complaint which the Cham Der of Commerce reports having re- ceived frequently of late is that a will call a number, and Will hear the operator ring somewhere
