LE;PHONE CO.
HEAD SOUNDS
WARNING NOTE
Declares Policy Against
Earning Large Profits
For Distribution.

DALLAS, Oct. 20 P-Sounding q
new note in American business,
Walter S. Clifford, president of the
company, told members of the Ma
tional Association of Railroad and
Utilities Commissioners convention
here today that it was against the
policy of his company to earn specu-
lative or large profits for distribution
as ''melons" or extra dividends.
The statement, it was believed,
would set at rest rumors in Wall
street that the American Telephone
and Telegraph company would cut
''melon" soon.
"The fact that the ownership OF
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company is so widespread and
diffused imposes an unusual obliga-
ton on the management to see that
the savings of these 100000 stock
holders are secure and remain So
Mr. Clifford said. "The management
also is under an obligation to see
to it that the service at all times
shall be adequate, dependable and
satisfactory to the user
obviously the only sound policy
that will meet these obligations is
to continue furnishing the best pos
sible telephone service at the lowest
cost consistent with financial safety.
It follows that there is not only no
incentive but it would be contrary
to sound policy for the management
to earn speculative or large profits
for distribution SIS melons or extra
dividends. On the other hand, pay
mentS to stockholders limited to rea-
sonable regular dividends with the
right to make further investments
on favorable terms are to the interest
both of the telephone users and the
stockholders.
Earnings must be sufficient to
insure the best possible telephone
service at all times and to assure
the continued financial integrity OF
the business. Earnings in excess of
these requirements must either be
spent for the enlargement and inn
provement of the service furnished,
or the rates charged for the service
must be reduced"
Lee Dennis, member of the Mon
tana board of railroads, offered a
resolution III the convention To-Day

ANTI EVOLUTION
Law OPPOSED BY
PRESBYTERLANS
Ministers at Tucson Synod
Against Restrictive
Legislation.

TUCSON, Oct. 20 R-The Arizona
Daily Star will say tomorrow that
Arizona Presbyterianism, as repre-
scented by its ministers here in con-
ference at the annual synod Of the
denomination, is overwhelmingly
against an anti-evolution law in
Arizona.
Following a movement launched
here for such a law, lead by Rev.
r. S. Beal, pastor of the First Baptist
church, Tucson, and supported by
three other local pastors, the MINIS
tiers gathered in the Presbyterian con-
ference were asked for a signed
opinion on the. need of an anti
evolution law, which according to
it's hackers, would prevent the teach
ing of the theory of evolution in the
University of Arizona and in the
public schools of the state.
The Presbyterian clergy voted IS
to three against such a law, with
all but three of the assembled min
listers voting. A poll of the Trinity
Fellowship group, composed of your
people of university age in the Pres.
byterian church, found unanimous
vote against such restrictive legisia-,
ton.
Some of the assembled clergymen
in voting on the question OF sdvocat
ing an anti evolution law, were not
satisfied with mere answer OF

day to remove himself from discussions
OF candidates for the republican noni-

ly, informing Senator Fess, republic
can, Ohio, that predictions that he
would be drafted to run for re-elec-
ton, despite his statement of August
2, that he did not choose to be can
didate, were distaSteful to him,
The Ohioan, who has been regarded
generally as one of the foremost Cool
idge advocates in the senate, was in
conference with the president for up
wards Of half an hour. There was no
White House version Of what tran
spifed in the privacy of the executives
office, but DR. Tess flushed ana OBJ
viously somewhat detected, spoke at
some length to newspaperrlen con-
corning his talk with the president.
He disclosed that Mr. Coolidge had
reprilnanded him for repeated fore
casts that he would, be drafted. He
said the president expressed the view
that such public statements might be
n1iSinterpreted by the country, and
asked him to- desist from making them.
IT regret that / am forced to adj
init" said Mr.. Fess that am not
now so positive that the president will
consent to be drafted. If he insists
on having lis own way, there will be
nothing doing"
Then, with emphasis, Senator Fess
added:
But he will not have his own way
still contend that the convention will
deadlock and Mr. Coolidge will be
drafted cannot sec how any man
could turn down such an appeal I'M
less it was because of poor health
and Mr. Coolidge is not in poor

Declaring that in spite of the scold-

the presidents statement that he did
not desire to have the country think
Senator FesS was talking for him would

a ruling that the court would very

Counsel for the government STATE
that Judge Finney cannot interpret

'Why sir, the law puts this gentle

eff he interprets the law incor-
rectly or without his jurisdiction, the
supreme court of the United States
may reverse him, but so long as
he remains within his jurisdiction
his Interpretation stands as the law

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20, R)-An
unexpected and dramatic appeal to
the court by Albert B. Fall to adj
NIT testimony vital" to his defense
and the development of bitterness
between counsel unequalled in all
the long history of the naval oil
lease cases marked the fourth day
of the criminal conspiracy trial to-
day against the former interior
secretary and Harry F. Sinclair.
Step by step, the defense had been
repulsed by the government in its
efforts to present it's case on cross
instead of direct examination of
, witnesses. Again and again it had
failed to get from E. G. Finney, first
assistant interior secretary, an in
depreciation of the Oil leasing policy
under Fall.
Suddenly the defendant arose in
his place among his counsel. There
was rustic of expectancy as jur-
ors, spectators and lawyers leaned
forward; then an almost deathlike
Stiffness Mr.. Fall began in a low
voice, almost hating at times, but
as he proceeded there stood in the
District of Columbia Supreme court
not the bent and i'll defendant in
criminal case, but the Fall of long
ago senate days, gesticulating and
! impassioned.
AS the company about him hung
upon his every word, scarcely know
ing what to expect during pro-
Hrc
Fall, who sat few feet away from
the spectators, was plainly nervous,
wringing her hands throughout the
few minutes her husband spoke.
May it please the court" Fall
began, st ask the right to have the
indulgence of the court for a min
ute and I think under the statute
I may have that right"
"Well, Mr.. Fall you are repres-
ented by very eminent and able
counsel, I would suggest" observed
Justice Siddons, although I do not
like to deny you an opportunity to
speak for yourself if you SO desire. :
I II have no desire to make a
speech to the jury" Fall said.
ooh, no, I would not suggest that
| for moment" the court interrupted.
! cor to testify" Fall continued.
IT had no thought OF that" re-
piled Justice Siddons.
"But I wish to bring to the atten-
ton of your honor" Fall continued
that there are lawyers and then
again there are mining lawyers, and
the gentleman who is on the stand
has qualified himself as an expert
here in every possible way in the
discharge of his duty. He knows
what all this controversy is about
and is fully conversant with the en-
tire situation.
Therefore, if given an opportunity
he would clear this matter up in two
minutes. I know that if I might be
allowed to ask Judge Finney a
question +. There are some
technical matters, that Judge Finney
does not understand from the ques-
tions propounded, or counsel do moi

easily be cleared up. Otherwise
