WASHINGTON. Dec. JO.—The
Government will <.osely scrutinize
the plans adopted by the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
for Its surrender of >30,000,000 worth
the stock as was done in the dlsao-
Company. Anj attempt to distribute
the stocks ns 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 Mi Reynolds will
insist on complete fulfillment of the
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 he
pressed by the Attorney General as
the basis for the separation of thf
telephone trust from the W. stern
Union. Under this the holders of tel
ephone .«v.tock would be permitted to
subscribe for Western Union stocs
only after surrendering their tele
phone securities.
Advocates of Government owner
ship of telephone and telegraph lines
declared to-day that th** surrender of
the telephone trust without forcing
the Government to go into the courts
was only due to the fact that it “had
seen the handwriting on the wall.”
They asserted that their promise >f
dissolution had been forced by the
recommendations of Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson in his report calling for
government control
They said, however, that the nr.im
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 >. .1. Lewis, of
Maryland, said to-day 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 on or the tel
egraph lines was asserted bv attaches
of the Department of Justice to he
the greatest moral victory ever won.
They declare! the mrrender of (he
trust would prove that the Adminis
tration was not opposed to “big busi
ness," but would aid it in every pos
•lble wa> to the 1>* n« rtl of both the
public and th business itself
The President's Letter.
President Wilson wrote a letter to

dissolution plan. It \\t\> one 'f

Bill in House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—.Right
the heels of the American Telephone
and Tejegraph 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 w*re lines was
made in tin* House to-day
A resolution directing the Postof-
flee 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 Representatvie Lewis,
Maryland. This 1s the forerunner of
the bill to be offered by Chairman
Moon, of the Poatofllc* Committee,
providing for Government ownership
and operation of telephones and tele-
gra phs.
The resolution sets forth that the
conveyance of communications is a
postal function and has been Nested
by the Constitution in the Govern
ment of the United Slates with the
object of providing the people with
the cheapest and most extensive serv
ice feasible. It declares that pos f al
rntes on letters In the TTnit* 1 State"
are among the lowest in the world,
while tiie rates for messages by w’fe
through private agencies are among
the hlghrs*.
It asserts (hat the di.tv of the Gov
ernment and the common practice of
nations to be "the postal izat Ion of
telegraph end telephone services.”
The resolution prescribes that thv
hill to he reported from the Houae
committee shall provide' for the ap
propriation directly by statute of Lie

When Mrs. S. W. Herring, of No.

it would be .mpv.-iible for her to cap- I

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 sensitive 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. As 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, II* 1 — and I.”
The Feminine Instinct.
And Miss Keller, patting and touch
ing with swift, deft lingers 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 down
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 Mon turnery. Ala.—agreed with
her, and said she’d make it up later
in the afternoon, when she could do
some visiting with her daughter.
So tho 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.
