100 GIRLS WORKING
TO SET SEAL RECORD
WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.—'The
Government will closely scrutinize
the plans adopted by the American
Telephone and Teh graph Company
for its surrender of $30,000,000 worth
the stock as was done In the dlsao-
Companjr. Any attempt to distribute
the stocks as was done in the disso
lution of the Standard Oil Company
and the American Tobacco Company
will be vigorously opposed by the
department of Justice
attorney General Me Reyn olds "111
Insist on complete fulfillment of th«-
pledge of the telephone trust to aban
don Its control over the Western Un
ion. When the other trusts were
■'dissolved'' their stock was distributed
proportionately among the stockhold
ers. leaving the control in the hands
of the same Individuals. Thus the
decision of the Supreme Court was
rendered practically abortive
Plan To Be Pressed.
The dissolution plan drawn for the,
separation of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific Railroads will lie
pressed by the Attorney General as
the basis for the separation of the
telephone trust from the Western
i’nlon. Under this the holders of tel
ephone stock would be permitted to
subscribe for Western Union stoea
only after surrendering their tele
phone securities.
Advocates of Government owner
ship of telephone and telegraph lines
declared to-day that the .surrender of
the telephone trust without forcing
the Government to go into the courts
vs as only due to the fact that ii "had
seen the handwriting on the wall."
They asserted that their promise of
dissolution had been forced by the
recommendations of Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson in his report calling for
government control.
They said, however, that the action
of the trust would result in there be
ing no legislation at the present ses
sion relating to government owner
ship.
Ownership Fight to Go On.
Representative I >. J. Lewis, of
Maryland, said to-dav that the volun
tary dissolution would have no effect
on his fight for government owner
ship of Interstate telephone facilities.
The pledge of the telephone com
pany to abandon control over the tel
egraph lines was asserted by attaches
of the Department of Justice to be
the greatest moral victory ever won
They declared the surrender of the
trust would prove that the Adminis
tration was not opposed to “big busi
ness,'' but would aid it in every pos
sible way to the benefit of both the
public and the business itself.
The President's Letter.
President Wilson wrote a letter to
the Attorney General approving the
dissolution plan. It was one
the most interesting documents made
public in connection with the settle
ment. It reads:
My Dear Mr. Attorney General:
Thank you for leting me see
the letter from the American Tel
ephone a...l Telegraph Company.
It 1 s very gratifying that .he com
pany should thus volunteer to
adjust its business to the con
ditions of competition.
I gain the impression more and
more from week to week that the
business men of the country are
sincerely desirous of conforming
with the law, and It is very grat
ifying. indeed, to have occasion,
as in this instance, to deal with
them in complete frankness and
to be able to show them that all
we desire is an opi*>rtunity to
co-operate with them. So long as
we are dealt with in this spirit we
can help to build up the business
of the country upon sound and
permanent lines.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
To Inquire Into Rate.
The investigation begun by the In
terstate Com men e Commission into
the rules and practices of the Amer
ican Telephone and Telegraph Cor
poration and other telephone compa
nies doing an interstate business will
not he dropped by the commission In
view of the agreement, Special Rx-
aminer Gans, of the commission,
stated to-day.
Up to date however, the commis
sion has been able only to inquire
into the telephone situation through
out the country, the telegraph side of
the matter not having been investi
gated
“Before the Attorney General agrees
t orates to he charged by both tele
phone and telegraph companies for j
interstate traffic.” said Gans, “the ■
commission no doubt will he asked !
what It considers a reasonable rate I
charge."
With this end in view Mr. Gans I
will begin an investigation of rate!
charges between certain interstate
points, which will be used as a basis
for rates fixed upon mileage of wire. ,
It is certain that the commission will
adopt a schedule fixed on “zone"
'charges, as was done with the express
companies and in the parcel post
system.
U. S. Ownership
Bill in House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. Right in
the heels of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company’s voluntary
offer to divorce itself from control of
the Western Union a direct move in
the proposed plan for the Government
to own and operate the wire lines was
made In the House to-day
A resolution directing the Postof
fice Committee of the House to con
sider and report a bill "for the pur
pose of vesting In the United States
a monopoly of the function of com
munication for hire by electricity,
with certain exceptions." was intro
duced by Represent!!tvie Lewis, (f
Maryland. This is the forerunner of
the liill to be offered by Chairman
Moon, of the PostofTIce Committee,
providing for Government ownership
and operation of telephones and tele
graphs.
The resolution sets forth that the
conveyance of communications Is a
postal function and has been vested j
by the Constitution in the Govern
ment of the United States with the
object of providing the people with
the cheapest and most extensive serv
ice feasible. It declares that postal
rates on letters in the United States
are among / lie lowest In the world,
while the rates for messages by w'.re
through private agencies are among
the highest.
It asserts that the duty of the Gov
ernment and the common practice of
nations to be "the postalization of
telegraph and telephone services." j
The resolution prescribes that the
bill to he reported from the House
committee shall provide for the ap
propriation directly by statute of the
telephones, except farmers’ lines on
January 1, 1915. They are to be taken
in charge by the Postmaster General,
the properties to be appraised hv the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Four per cent per annum upon the’r
value from January 1, 1915, is to he
paid quarterly to the owners until
payment of the award of valuation.
Payment ot fhe final award is to '>e
made from the Federal Treasury,
which shall issue 3 per cent bonds to
the necessary amount.
The licensing of existing telegraph
and radio companies to continue their
business and of railway telegraph for
railway purposes is provided for. The
Postmaster General Is to licens.*
States, counties, cities, corporations
and individuals to make extensions .*f
telephone lines subject to the right
of acquisition by the PoMofflce De
partment. The merit system Is to be
applied to all employees.

Determined efforts to break all rec
ords in the sales of Red Cross Christ
mas Seals are ueing made Saturday
by the workers of the Atlanta Anti-
Tnbereulosis Association, which is in
charge of the local campaign. The
Children of the Confederacy, under
the. supervision of Miss Mary Griffith,
president, is in charge of the selling
campaign Saturday, and more than
100 young girls are enlisted for the
day's work.
Miss Griffith, besides having her
aides stationed at the regular selling
stations, has also placed a number of
solicitors on the busiest downtown
corners and along Peachtree and
Whitehall streets. It is hoped that
the indicator which is registering the
sales will have reached the 800,000
mark by Saturday night.
According to a statement made by
one of the workers of the anti-tuber
culosis association. Atlanta is not
making the showing she should in the
sale of the seals.
"Many towns throughout the Stale
are leading us in per capita sales,”
she said, "and unless better records
are made from now on Atlanta will
be beaten. Many people have not yet
purchased seals, and it is those that
we expect to go after from now %o the
close of the campaign.’’
The Woman's Club, under the di
rection of Mrs. A. P. Coles, was in
charge of the work Friday. Exact
figures are not yet available, but a
good record was made.

No Danger in Floor
Of W. D, Luckie Lodge
The report that scores of persons
had been endangered Wednesday i
night by the loosening of supports at
the W. D. Luckie Masonic Lodge in
West End was erroneous, there hav
ing been no public gathering at this
lodge in several weeks and no meet
ing being held there at the time men
tioned.
The incident of the sagging floor
was at a lodge gathering in another
portion of the city. It has been
learned that the danger at this place
was not great, as the storeroom in
which the gathering was held rested
upon the ground and not over a cel
lar, as at first reported.
Noted Southern Woman Says
Their Cause Justifies Their
Methods.

burned brightly. The door of Miss
Keller's room was open wide, and the
lights burned in there, too.
At first the women spoke with low,
constrained voices.
Suddenly Mrs. McCarthy spoke
i aloud.
"I was afraid of disturbing her,"
she explained, and then there was a
little embarrassed pause. Nobody
felt exactly like laughing, and yet—
"And 1 just caught myself won
dering if the lights wouldn’t bother
her," said Miss Rutherford.
Then they all remembered. But
they didn't talk so very loud, even
then, though knowing that Miss Kel
ler's slumber was well protected by
the "ivory walls" of a vast silence
and a solitude not one of them could
know.
And then something happened—
something that no one in that room
will forget.
Her Mother Arrives.
There was a rap at. the door, and
Mrs. Mary rose and greeted Helen’s
mother. It was a demonstrative
greeting on both sides; the women
were like mother and daughter, them
selves; Mrs. Macy called her “moth
er" But the introductions were brief,
so far as the rest of the party was
concerned. For Mrs. Keller, at a
motion of Mrs. Macy’s hand, was on
er way into the next. room.
Maybe it was not just conven
tion, and maybe it was not a situ
ation for strict conventionality; any
way—
“Won't you all come in,” Mrs. Macy
suggested.
What supremely^sensltive instinct,
what Intuition stirred Helen Keller as
her mother entered the room, no one
outside the “ivory walls” can ever
know.
This much is certain. A a the moth
er approached the bed of her sleep
ing daughter. Helen Keller sat up
and held out her arms.
And then—but that doesn’t belong
in print, you know.
“Oh. it hasn’t been so very long
since I saw her,” Mrs. Keller said a
little later. "I spent the summer with
her at her home. We don’t believe in
long separations, and I.”
The Feminine Instinct.
And Miss Keller, patting and touch
ing with swift, deft fingers her moth
er’s coat and waist and skirt—satis
fying the feminine instinct to learn
how she was dressed, it seemed—
smiled a wonderful little smile, and
then, as her mother wished, lay dow r n
again and closed her eyes.
The party returned to the other
room.
“My little girl needs all the rest
she can get,” Mrs. Macy said. “She’ll
go to sleep again, right away, and be
ready for to-night.”
Goes Back to Sleep.
And Mrs. Keller—Mrs. Kate Adams
Keller, who had come all the way
from Montgomery, Ala.—agreed with
her, and said she’d make it up later
in the afternoon, when she could do
some visiting with her d auR, hter.
So the party conversed and laughed
and planned for the lecture, and the
lights burned brightly, and the door
was open into Helen Keller’s room—
and Helen Keller went back to sleep
again. .
Mrs. Maov said their trunks had not
been delivered and she did not ex
pect them until Sunday, which day
she and Miss Keller expected to spend
in Atlanta.
