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.

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.

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."

PACKING TRADE
RECORDS BROKEN
FOR TENMONTHS
New High Marks in Exports
of Fresh Beef and Pork
Products Shown by
Cudahy's Report.
Chicago, Dec. IS. E. A. Cudahy,
president of the Cudahy Packing
company, in his annual statement to
the stockholders, made public today,
cites figures showing that the pack
ing industry broke all records in ten
months of the current year in the
exportation of fresh beef and pork
products. 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.
"The largest exportation of fresh
beef in anv vear prior to the war
was 352,000,000 pounds in the fiscal
year 1901," said Mr. Cudahy. "then
dwindling down year by year to only
6,000,000 pounds in the year im
mediately preceding the war while
the total for the 10 months ending
with October of the current year
was 417,000,000 pounds.
"Fork products also show a new
high record of quantities as well as
in values. The total quantity of
bacon exported in the 10 months
ending with Octpber, 1918, was 906.
000,000 pounds against a former high
record of 593,000,000 pounds in the
full fiscal year 1916. 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."

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.
