Benton county, who constituted about 80 per cent, of a rural com munity, whose telephene service was out rageous, to organize for them a co operative telephqne company. The terri tory proposed to be served by the new company was about six miles wide and about ten miles Ion? and comprised the best portion of that county and its wealthiest residents.

I obtained publlo franchises from the boards of commissioners of Benton, and Warren counties; induced the tow, board of Bos well to join the new company In petitioning the public service commission for a declaration of public convenience and necessity, and the case was set for hearing In the early part of September. 1914. Murphy Attended Hearing. Edwards went -lo Bos-well and presided at the hearing. Com- mtaloner Murphy also went to Boswell with Commissioner Edwards, and carried on a whispered conversation with the, representatives of the old telephone com- i pany.

who happened to be the ruling force 4n Benton county's democracy. The hearing was held on either the 11th or 13th of September. 1314. The evidence was overwhelming as to the bad condi tton of the telephone plant Of the old company, and as to the urgent necessity ror tne organisation or the new co-oper ative company. I was granted three weeks in which to file a brief for the petitioners.

The opposing counsel were men to nave tnree weeks In which to file an answer brief. I actually filed my brief on September 25, 1914. or two weeks after' the hearing; the opposing counsel filed a brief in about four weeks after my brief was filed, or six weeks after the bearing, I then requested the commission to grant me one week's time to file a reply brief, and my request was granted. The reply brief was filed during the last tew cays or October. Entered Decision Early.

'The public service commission decided the case in writing, adversely to the new company, on September 19, 1914. before the first brief was filed. I have a certified copy of their decision, bearing date September 19, 1914. I faced the entire public service commission with my evidence, and in the presence of the president and secretary of the new telephone company, and they could not, and did not. utter one word of extenuation of their conduct.

I have iin my possession the certified copy of this opinion, bearing the date of its rendition: copies of briefs filed, showing dates of filing, and the entire correspondence which I had with the DUblic service commission, regarding this mat ter, in which they were extending the time for filing briefs, and in which they even wrote ln the latter part of Oc tober ror an additional copy or my petition, when they had rendered their opinion six or seven weeks before. The opinion was not written up in the order books of the commission the early part of November, but I not only have a certified copy of the opinion, but I went to Indianapolis on receipt of it. and Secretary Reilly showed to me and to the president of the new corporation, the original opinion which was dictated. I blieve, by Commissioner Edwards, i Willing to Publish Evidence. I deem It a public duty to place all of these documents and all of this corre spondence before you, if you desire to see them.

I do not wish to surrender the possession of these documents and correspondence, aa they would deprive me of evidence which is very important. If you wish to send a properly ac credited representative to Lafnyette. I shall place all of this matter before him. Or If vou wish to publish over my signature any or all of this letter, you are at perfect liberty so to do. Meanwhile let me you upon the very important service you hav rendered the public In exposlrg the working methods of the public service m-misslon of Indiana, Respectfully yours.

VI I 1 I 1 tpeer, miss neien wiuits, Margaret cor- I uui pus GERMANY OVERTAXES HUMAN CREDULITY 'IN THE SUSSEX NOTE INew York Evening Post The story presented by Herr von Jagow concerning the Sussex Is, on its (face, entitled to little more than contemptuous rejection. Let us fprget, for a moment, that it is put forward, with all 'official punctiliousness and solemnity by the' foreign minister of a great nation, and consider it primarily simply on its merits.

For weeks the impression has been spread about, with at least the tacit and probably with the explicit consent of the German government, that -the attack on the Sussex could not have been made by a torpedo from a German The German government ha been perfectly aware of all this, and has allowed the impression to go abroad that her denial of guilt would consist either in the assertion that no German submarine was ln the vicinity at the time or In an ex-p planation of the act which would in some way be exculpatory. What she actually says is something surprisingly different from either of these. A German submarine, says Herr vion Jagow, was not ortly in the neighborhood, but actually at that exact moment of time did fire a torpedo at a ship, which struck it in exactly the same part in which the Sussex was hit. and with exactly the same effect. 'The ship, however, was not the Sussex, but a different ship, concerning which the submarine commander "reached the defi nite conclusion that it was a war vessel and.

Indeed, a minelayer of the recently built English Arabic class." We have said that this alleged exploit or tne submarine occurred, according to von japow statement, at the very mo ment or time when the Sussex was blown up. The statement places the occurrence at p. middle Eu ropean time the official reports con cerning the Sussex had fixed it at 2:50, eastern European time, which is 3:50. middle European tlme. A deviation of one or two minutes in the clocks would be sufficient to account for this slight discrepancy, since 2:51 or 3:54 would probably reported as 2:50 or The probability of two ievents so exactly similar, occurring at almost the same identical spot at practically the same Instant, is extremely small.

If there were no other Indication of the Germans" guilt that that furnished by their own statement, this alone would furnish a strong presumption of it. To break the force of that presumption, we are given nothing more substantial than a sketch of the attacked ship made byr tne submarine commander we are not Informed when. On the other side, we have had all. along specific statements of a number of w-ltnesses who saw the wake of the torpedo, and the fragments of the torpedo itself; and now we have. In addition, the certainty that a German torpedo did.

at that very time and at that very place, perform precisely such an act, with precisely such consequences, as those witnesses described. And of the disaster to the warship alleged to hav been blown up by the submarine, there had never been In all these weeks tip to today, the faintest trace or suspicion either from German sources or any other, i Really, the story would be too ridiculous for serious consideration If it were not 'the official outgiving of a great government. Had this been "the first instance "ln which the question of the character of SENATE AMENDS ARMY; BILL AFFECTING GUARD ADOPTS MEASURE PLACING SOL DIER IN SERVICE OF U. S. WADSWORTH FOR MORE MEN WASHINGTON'.

April 15. Further to strengthen federalization of the national guard, the senate 33 to 23, amended the army reorganization bill to require guardsmen to take an oath to obey the orders of the President, as well as the Governor of their state. The amendment was presented by Senator Wadsworth, who said it originated in the national guard Itself. "The chief purpose of the amendment 1s to place the national guard soldiers primarily in the service of the United States, and, secondarily. In the service of the state," Senator Wadsworth said.

To Increase Coast Senator Sutherland, Republican, urged adoption of his amendment Increasing the coast artillery corps -immediately to maximum strength. "Our coast defenses have cost $41,000,000 and are among the best in the world." said he. "But we now have enough men to man only one-fourth of the guns. My amendment would give us enough men to man one-half. I think more men.

should be trained In the use of. the guns and hence I would not leave it to the President to make the Increase, but would have congress do it now." Nitrate Amendment Accepted. The big contest In the senate over the proposal to establish (a government ni trate plant for" the manufacture of ex plosives and fertilizers was ended yes terday by the adoption, 43 to 22, of an amendment incorporating provision for such plant into the army reorganization bill. Final action will rest with a confer ence between the senate and house. A imilar nrooosal was defeated in the house in consideration or its army increase dui.

The amendment was that offered by Senator Smith, of South Carolina, providing for a hydro-electric nitrate plant at a cost of S15.0ij0.OOO, the expense of which would be met by a bond issue. It was adopted over the vigorous opposition of the senate military committee, wnion was based on the ground that the army bill was not the place ror sucn legislation. Attacks Federal Pay Feature. Senator Borah, Republican, attacking federal pay for the national; guard, aroused the senate today with a charge that the J8.ono.000 a year now appropriated by the government for the national guard was "shamefully wasted" and some of it "embenled." "That's a pretty serious charge, said Senator Pomerene, Democrat, interrupting. "Well.

I make It without any qualification." Senator Borah replied, and he read from war department reports to show that most of- the fund had been utilized by ofllcers of the national guard for theinselve9 and that enlisted men practically had no benefit of It. "If senators her will examine the record of these appropriations," Senator Borah continued, "they will hesitate about appropriating $50,000,000 for the national guard as it is now proposed to do. The way the officers of the national guard have been utilizing the federal fund to themselves, to the exclusion of niiatMt men. is nerfeetlv shameful and can not be defended except for political exigency. Not Preparing for War.

"In this" bill, you are not preparing for var. You are not giving tne peopio wnai they are expecting to pay for. We are filling this bill up from to end with ourelv political appropriations and you couldn't proceed a step under the guise of national preparedness." Senstors- Pomerene and Reed stanchly defended the national guard, declaring that if there had been Irregularities there were remedies at law. "There may be a thief in the national guard, but so there have been in the reg ular armv, ana senators rrom tnis ooay have been sent to jail." declared Senator Reed. "But I am not willing to har hon orable men maligned without sufficient provocation.

I am not wining to stand bv while this military committee, acting with Jhe best motives, but advised by regular army officers who are interested ln seeing the national guard destroyed. gets the senate to pass a bill that would absolutely destroy the only army la this country created out of civilians." Lodge Defends Army. Senator Lodge defended the, regular army and declared.lt was time to stop casting aspersions on it. "Th regular army has fought and won all our battles and is fighting for us In Mexico today." he said. "And I am sick and tired of hearing it attacked." On a vote.

Senator Sutherland's amend ment was defeated. Senator Cummin Shocked. I Senator Cummins, Republican, said lie German official statements relating' to submarine operations had arisen, the fact that the story is presented with all the precision and solemnity of an important diplomatic communication would weigh heavily against any adverse conclusion, however 'strong the inherent probabilities. Unfortunately, the record of the German government in this regard to sayi nothing of its amazing performances in connection with the Brussels documents and other facts. relating to Belgium's neutrality is In.

the highest degree discreditable. In the Lusltania case, it put forward statement after statement that was roved to be utterly untrue, some of them ased on the false affidavits of obscure perjurers. In the Arabic case, it began by assuming an attitude of defiant support of what the submarine commander had stated, a position from which ljk was compelled to retire. In this Instance, over and -above the statement of facts as to the attack, itself, we have again the familiar assertion used in th Lusltania case and there proved to be without foundation that "the particularly violent explosion warrants the certain conclusion, that great amount of munitions were on board the vessel attacked. Indeed, on has only to read the curious remarks of so strong a newspaper as the Frankfurter Zeltung which declares that even If the torpedo that destroyed.

the Sussex can be shown beyond the shadow of a doubt to have borne German factory marks, this would prove nothing to get an idea of the state of trfind upon which the German authorities rely for their support at home. If not for their standing and character abroad. There is one point which may seem puzzling to many.
