sioner Walker in his report on two.
year investigation, which was sent
to the Senate and House Interstate
Commerce Committees yesterday fol
study before being approved by the
full F. C. C.
This is a public utility existing or
franchise from the Government
Senator Wagner said, "and it should
willingly submit to supervision of al
its business operations" He said
however, that members of Congress
probably would want to study the
recommendations thoroughly before
acting on legislation.
DissensiOn Indicated.
Dissension within the F. c. c. itsel1
over some of the more drastic propos.
ais was indicated by statements from
some of the commissioners.
Il am unable as yet to agree with
some of the recommendations" Com
missioner T. A. M. Craven said
Chairman Frank r. McNinch en-
phasized the report did not represent
final views of the full commission.
Walter S. Clifford, president of the
American Telephone & Telegraph Co.
which controls the Bell System, issued
statement branding as absurd
Commissioner Walkers contention that
telephone rates could be cut 25 per
cent by changing certain practices
and policies of the system to reduce
unnecessarily high costs" -
Mr.. Clifford charged the report pre-
sents much that is simply not true
and has been prepared with the same
unfairness that characterized the in
vestigation proceedings"
IHSdSfOh VI ASCS uldtNOn.
Mr. Walkers report charged that
centralized control of all Bell System
activities by the management of the
A. T. & T. in New York had enabled the
system to successfully evade State
regulation" making effective regula-
ton possible only through extension
of F. c. c. authority.
After urging the F. c. C. to correct
many of the telephone company poll
cies already coming under its juris-
diction. the proposed report called
for action by Congress to give the
commission additional powers to-:
l. Review, approve or disapprove all
Bell System policies and practices
promulgated by the central manage
ment group Of A. T. g. T.
2. Regulate the costs and prices OF
telephone apparatus and equipment.
3. Review, approve or disapprove all
intercompany contracts.

4. Regulate Bell System financing
including sale of future stock issues

SHARE LEAD IN
PRO GRID RACE

Byron Oxford" White, of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, is tied with
Gaynell Tinsley, of the Chicago
Cardinals, for individual honorS
as the National Professional Foot
ball League goes into its last week.
White regained the lead as the
loops best ground gamer. whicn
he held seven weeks ago, following
his teams losing battle with Wash
ington last Sunday. At one time
he was as low as seventh in ground
gaining. White now has 486 yards
to his credit against 454 for fluffy
Leemans, who led the league tor
the New York Giants in 1895.
Each has one game left to play.
TinSley caught Al passes this
season. tieing the record of Don
Hutson, Green Bay Packers, last
year. Tinsley caught a pass from
Doug Russell. whence he went for
a gain of SO yards to break the
Pat Coffee-t Tinsley pass and
run record of 95 yards.
The forward passing race be-
tween Ed Danowski and Sammy
Baugh was never closer, with the
Giant HEAVIER completing So passes
out of 1874 attempts. Baugh, Ace
Parker, of Brooklyn, and Jack
Robins, of Chicago Cardinals are
close, Parker having a completion
record of AZ per cent, Baugh so
per cent and Robbins SO per cent.

Business at the four major
Maryland tracks. Laurel, Pimlico,
Bowie and Havre de Grace, fell
off 10 per cent during the 1888
racing year, according to the tabu-
lations of the Maryland Racing
Commission, in Baltimore. Bowie,
because of the cancellation of four
days of racing was hit the
hardest.
Too. bad weather marked sew
eral of the States big racing days,
such as the PreakneSs at Pimlico,
the wagering declining heavily.
Because of the calling off of four
days of racing at Bowie. the State
loses $4,000 in taxes at the rate
of $500 per day for each day the
horses run.
In the wagering levy, of which
the State gets one per cent, a not
able shrinkage is reported, its take
being $292,225 this year as against
S335,770 last year. The States
grand total this year is $868, 225
as against $935.773 last year.

Edition Presents America's
Rich Heritage of Design

Few Americans-even those inter-
ested in Colonial antiques and family
eirlooms-realize to the full the
wealth Of our heritage of American
design. Every corner of the country
has contributed characteristic arts and
crafts whose forms and patterns have
made marked impress upon con-
temporary decoration. Some idea of
the extent OF our inheritance, and the
richness of our American artistic ira
dition, may be CLEANED from the July
"All-America" issue of House and
Garden, which presents picture story
of American design from our earliest
beginnings to the present day.
Interesting to both experts and ANA
teurs in Americana is the collection
Of lit typical examples of early craft
work-many Of them shown in their
original colors-which the editors of
House and Garden have selected from
the Index Of American Design, a
Works Progress Administration Federal

ingiy simple objects Of everyday life In
New England to the colorful Pennsyl-
vania Dutch pottery and the decorative
