THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1918. GUT MADE IN LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONETOLL New Schedule Figured Upon Basic Charge of 6 M Mills a Mile, Effective January 12. " Washington, Dec. 15. Sweeping eductions in long distance and toll telephone rates by the adoption of a basic charge of 6J.4 mills a mile, airline mileage, and half the day rate for night service up to mid night and one-fourth the day rate after that hour, were announced to day by Postmaster General Burle son. They become effective next January 21. The new rates were recommended in the first report of the committee on rate standardization and Mr. I'.urleson's statement said their effect is to equalize the toll and long distance charges over the coun try. ', "A night service rate," said the statement, "which is one-half the day rate, is established between 8:30 and 12 p. m. Between midnight and 4:30 a. m.. the night rate is one fourth the day rate. These are great er reductions in night rates than have ever been made in any country, and doubtless will be extensively used, especially for social and fam ily purposes. A person might talk from San Francisco to New York for about $4 whereas the day rate a approximately $16. "Station to Station" Service. "A station to station service is , established &uch as now exists jn the remainder' of the world, that is, when the connection is established with a man's house or office, the op portunity to converse is provided and the station to station rate, which is the basic rate, applies and is pay able whether the particular persons desired responds or not. This rate up to 24 milei is at the rate of five cents for six miles and for greater distances five cents for each eight miles or about six and one-fourth ' mills a mile. The distance is' com puted by air line methods and not by pole line or public highways. The air line distances are common ly about 100 miles, when the others would run 150 miles. It is stated by the committee that more thati 60 verities of toll rates have existed in the United States up to the pres ent time. The effect of this uni form or basic rate in the station to station service is to reduce or not effect about 70 per cent of the rates through necessarily slightly raising shout 30 per cent in the process of standardization. Fraud Eliminated. "It requires about two and one half times as much work to estab lish connection with a particular person than the station-to-station service. Hitherto the rates have been the same for both kinds of services, nothing being paid, how ever great the service performed, on the failure of the telephone institu tion to secure tlie particular person. The particular person service has . also been used to defraud the gov ;rnment out of its toll revenues. De signing persons employ codes under which, although the desired tele phone is reached, the particular per son is said not to be there, but words of explanation given from his 'phone answer all the purposes of the call under the code arrange ment. "The particular person service is not discontinued, but the rate there ;or is so modified as to prevent these abuses and compensate the telephone service in part for the extra expense of labor and plant in volved, and a charge of 25 per cent of the station-to-station rate is made for such service, when the particular person is secured and a report of , 25 per cent of the station-to-station rate Is made when the house or of fice number is obtained and his whereabouts or refusal to talk is reported. "In many large sections of the country the smallest toll rate has not been less than 15 cents. Under the new scheme for short distances the rates are reduced to five cents and ten cents. For the cheapest form of service the person can talk rive minutes as compared with three minutes now, or, in some cases, only two minutes, or one minute. Free toll areas where the exchange rate was designed to cover the free serv ice or a low charge therefor are not affected by this order." Chilean Government Pleased With U. S. Mediation Offer Buenos Aires, Dec. 15. The American offer of mediation between Chile and Feru has caused satis faction in Chile, where, according to advices from that country, it is inter preted as assurances that the United States will not interfere unless in vited to do so by both Chile and Peru. Some of the daily papers of Buenos' Aires show chagrin, for, they say, the Argentine government misinterpreted the original nWe and went beyond the invitation offering mediation, and is now left alone to act.

(Continued From Fag One.) Sunday afternoon, while the wide spaces and the parks gave a touch of Washington. Doubtless the president felt at home. But all the members of the American mis sion doubtless felt the deeper sig nificance of the day. Henry White, former American ambassador here and now a member of the American peace mission, who has known I aris through long resi dence here, said that seldom had king, emperor or foreign diginitary tver received such welcome as that extended to President Wilson. The special significance felt by the mem bers of the American mission was that the French people seemed to be wholly in sympathy with the president's purpose. When President and Mrs. Wilson returned from the Elysee palace Sat urday they found in the drawing room of the Murat residence many beautiful boquets which had been left there by all classes of the French people. Touched by Reception. During the late afternoon Presi dent Wilson received a number of officials. Among those who register ed were: Premier Venizelos of Greece, the ministers of Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Venezuela, Sweden, and China, Marquis Lafay ette and members of the French gov ernment. In the evening the president con ferred with Secretary Lansing. He declared that he had been greatly touched by the cordial reception given to him by the people of Paris, which he would never forget. House Guarded Carefully. The Murat house is carefully guarded by U. S. secret service agents and hundreds of gendarmes. All the streets approaching it are guarded by cavalry, some wearing the war battered and soiled horizon blue uniforms and shrapnel helmets, in which they chased the Germans. The red and white pennants at the edges of their lances are waving everywhere for blocks around. During the entire afternoon thous ands of men and women stood in the streets leading to the president's Paris home, awaiting an opportunity to catch a glimpse of Mr. Wilson, but thev were dissapointed for he remained indoors. Late this after noon Thomas Nelson Page, Ameri can ambassador to Italy, called and paid his respects. President Wilson also received a large delegation of French socialists who welcomed him to Paris on behalf of the work ers. Col. Edward M. House and Gen. Tasker H. Bliss arrived later and conferred with the president at some length. Crowds Linger Late. Shortly after 4 o'clock Mr. Wilson finished receiving callers and retired to his apartment where he rested. It was explained that he wa3 slightly fatigued by the trip from Brest. The crowds remained standing about the neighborhood until well after dark. A large American flag was raised on a tajl pole over the main en trance. The crowd at least two blocks away cheered themselves hoarse, first shouting "Wilson, Wil son, Wilson," and then cheering for the United States. There were many impromptu parades in which French, American, British and Belgian sol diers and crowds of civilians, both men and women, marched through the streets of Paris in the direction of the Murat house, singing and waving flags. Arriving where French guards barred the way, the marchers Cheered for a moment and then marched off again. Parisians who were unable to see the president satisfied themselves by kissing and embracing all Amer ican uniformed men. One girl man aged in some way to get past the guards. She threw her arms around the neck of a husky American ser geant on duty at the gate and kissed him vigorously, while the crowds outside cheered. Wilson Would Have Seas , Guarded by Whole World London, Dec. 15. President Wil son, interviewed by the correspond ent at Brest of the Press associa tion, in replying to a question as to whether he wished to make any statement reeardine his policy at the peace conference, said he could say nothing at the present time, tit added that any pronouncement must be carefully considered. "Although the president does not wish to make a definite personal statement," the correspondent says, "it is understood that he will fight, if necessary for his 14 points. His altitude on the question of the free dom of the seas is that the seas ought to be guarded by the whole world rather than by any particular group of nations." Congress Pays Tribute to Late Senator Tillman Washington, Dec. 15. Tributes to the memory of the late Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South Caro lina was naid todav at soecial ses sions of the senate and house. Dem ocratic, and republican leaders alike joined in eulogizing the senator, who '.or a score of years was an active figure in congress. In the senate, addresses were de livered by Senators Smith and Pol lack of South Carolina, Lodge of Massachusetts, Swanson of Virginia. Nelson of Minnesota and-Lewis of Illinois, and in the house of Rep resentatives Walsh of Massachusetts and Padgett of Tennessee and all the members of the South Carolina dele gation. JJeut. Lyle Hubbard of Omaha Dies in New York Lieut. Lyle Hubbard, son of the late Congressman Albert Hubbard of Sioux City, died of pneumonia Saturday night at the home of his mother in New York. The funeral will be in Sioux City Tuesday." Lieutenant Hubbard was con nected with the legal department of the Northwestern railroad in Omaha until he entered the air service of the army in February, 1918. He was married to Miss Louise Goodrich of this city and sailed for England about September 1. Lieutenant Hubbard arrived in New York on the Lapland Decem ber 4 and was sick at the home ol bis mother until bis death U, S. NAVY MEN FIGHT AT TAMPICO (Continued From rage One.) proached his ship a shot was fired, and a Mexican guard there, seeing him coming, placed him under de tention. It was also asserted that others started to beat him with the butts of their rifles. The sailor fought back the best he could, and as he drew near the ship, he called to his men for assistance. They needed no second invitation, one passenger said, and all who were in sight or hearing joined in the fray. Seeing reinforcements coming some of the Mexicans opened fire. No one was hit on the ship. The naval guard then secured arms and as the firing con tinued, they returned the shots with the result that two Mexicans fell. With the show of arms the Mexicans fled, leaving the gunner's mate free to return to his ship with his men. Sound of the firing attracted a considerable crowd, but no further demonstration was made. 1 hreats were heard, however, and during the 24 hours that the Monterey was de tained pending the investigation of the incident, every precaution was taken to guard against a surprise at tack. The two gunboats were sufficient ly close so that they could have ren dered assistance to the Monterey had it been required. In addition to hand arms, the Monterey carries a gun, mounted on her deck, placed there during the war as a protec tion against submarines. On arrival of the Monterey hare today, the gunner's mate and his men went to the navy yard to make an official report of the matter. Offi cers of the ship were also ques tioned by naval authorities. Left to Diplomacy. Washington, Dec. 15. The clash between the armed guard of the Ward liner Monterey and Mexican soldiers at Tampico has been left to diplomatic settlement and is now the subject of negotiations between the American and Mexican govern ments. This announcement was made by the State department. The departments's announcement said the 'Mexicans started the dis turbances" by attacking and injur ing the commander of the Monte rey's armed guard, who had gone ashore. "The Department of State," said the announcement, "is investigating a clash that occured between Mexi can soldiers and a member of the armed guard of the American steam er Monterey, which occuerd at "1 ampico on November 28. The Mexicans started the disturbance. "Department of State advices are to the effect that the affair occured early in the morning that the Amer ican in charge of the guard, who had gone ashore, was attacked by the Mexican soldiers and that he was in jured by the Mexicans. One of the Mexican soldiers was killed and an other injured, during the distur bance. "The Tampico authorities sought to have the armed guard aboard the ship surrendered to them. The A'hole subject, however, was left to diplomatic settlement, and is being taken up between the State depart ment and the Mexican government through the American embassy at Mexico City."

The Cudahy company's gross sales for the fiscal year end ing November 2, 1918, . were $286. 660,791.48, as against $184,811,423.34 for the preceding year.

Hams and shoulders in the same 10 months were 478,000,000 pounds against 287,000,000 pounds in the full fiscal year 1916. "In 19l3 our company paid to the farmers of the United States some $75,000,(XXT for the animals pur chased. This year and for a vol ume and weight approximately 33 1-3 per cent greater, we have paid more than $180,000,000. In 1913 we paid to our employes some $7,000,000 for wages and salaries. This year we have paid them in excess of $1 5,500,- 000. Our net profits as compared to 1913 are in about the same ratio to our turnover as in that year." After setting aside a reserve of $2,785,412 for federal income and ex cess profits taxes, the net profits of the Cudahy Packing company for the fiscal year ending November 2 iisi wcic fjm,nfl, m jh pre ceding fiscal year when there was no federal tax reserve, the net profits of the company were $4,430,529.

Hardships Inflicted on Soldiers' Dependents By Refund Demands Washington, Dec. 15. The prac tice of war risk insurance bureau in calling upon soldiers' dependants for refunds where investigation showed that improper allowance has been made was criticized by Representa tive Treadway of Massachusetts, re publican, at a committee hearing on an amendment proposed by him to correct it. Soon after the war start ed the bureau, Mr. Treadway said, made many allowances which it found later were not fully justified. In such cases dependants were asked to re turn the money and when this was not done the amount was taken from the soldier's pay. I his has worked a great hard ship upon thousands of families," Mr. Treadway said. "When they re ceived the money they understood they were entitled to it and did not hesitate about spending it. N'ow when the government asks it hack, they are not able to pay it. 1 re ceived a letter today from a mother whose son is in a hospital in France She has been ordered to refund the money the bureau has paid her. The only way she could do it, she said, would be by going to work, and this she is physically unable to do." Simmons Asks Senate to Give Clear Course to War Revenue Bill Washington. Dec. 15.

Chiropodists to Introduce Law Regulating Profession The Nebraska Association of Chi ropodists have prepared a bill which they will introduce in the legislature to license chiropodists and insure the public of competent practition ers. No law is now provided in Ne braska to regulate the qualifications of men in this practice. Chiropodists say the war has been the greatest thing in history to show Americans the importance of per fect feet. The rigid examination de manded by army officers they state, deprived thousands from serving the colors for arch trouble alone. Following the return of soldiert from army camp, and abroad they expect that more attention will be paid by Americans to the proper care of the feet. For this reason they will introduce the bill to pre vent uneducated practitioners from preying on the public.
