She says that she Is feeling well and that the "foreigner') seems at home.' This also la the belief of Dr. Henry W.

Dr. Frauenthal, finding that necro sis had developed to such an extent as to require an immediate operation, decided to perform it, and as soon as he was able to get a healthy tibia in the manner described this was done, lie wondered at the time whether or not the grafted bone would be main tained or be absorbed gradually by a !?rowth of new bone. "In either case," he said, "I believe that the patient's leg will be restored to complete usefulness, and I think that she will not be lame. In fact, after the wound has healed and the new bone has established Itself, there will be nothing In her walk to show the effects of the unusual operation. 1 expect fhe will be able to walk with in a month."

Oets Severe Kleotrlc Slioek. J. K. Bryant, ot Washington, an employe of the Western Union Tele graph company narrowly escaped electrocution while at work on a cable near the passenger station. In some manner' he came In contact with highly charged wire and received 2300 volts of electricity. While 2300 volts is usually sufficient to produce death rryant's chief injury was to his hand which were badly burned. At the time he came in contact with the wire, he was seated on- a swinging scaffold suspended from the cable and fell ? nek against the supports, which kept him from tumbling to the ground. He was assisted from his perilous position ty several fellow workmen. Recovers Valuable Broorh. Mrs. B. B.

Gov- rnors of twenty-five states of the mion voted yesterday afternoon to in He In protest to the United States Supreme court against what they con- ider an Invasion of state rights by ederal courts. The decisions of Judge Sanborn In he Minnesota rate case is the par- lcular "Invasion" to which the gover nors object. By their action they es- abllsh a precedent in American poli tics. Judson Harmon, governor of Ohio, nd formes attorney general of the Tnlted States, will head a committee f protest His colleagues will be lerbert S. Hadley, governor of Mls- j)uri, and Governor Aid rich, of Nc- raska. The motion to appoint such committee to voice the views of the .inference was made by Governor :mmett O'Nell, of Alabama, which iaced the membership at Ave. Ac- Ion was declared unanimous, al lough Governor Wm, W. Kitchin, of Arth Carolina, the twenty-sixth dole- ite who alone opposed it, did so, he ild, solely because it would make a parture from precedent Governor Harmon supplied the or- ,lnal suggestion for the plan, qccord ig to Governor O'Neal. In the sharp bate which followed the measures itroduced. Governor Harmon took no .irt Minor Federal Courts Scored. Introduction of the motion was en- i'ely unexpected by the majority of le dclegutes. Governor Aldrich's nging denunciation of what he term l the invasion of the functions and ':hts of the states by the minor fed al courts, discussed during the fore- oon session, provoked enthusiamle oplause and was followed in the af- rnoon by an address by Governor rands K. McGovern, of Minnesota. the Sitmo topic. With the subjoct csh In mind tho governors debated e question for . an hour or more, urlng his speech Governor Aldrich ferred In terms of condemnation to le decisions of Judge Sanborn of the 'nlted States circuit court in the Min esota rate case. He explained that ic point of discussion was that the 'ates Intra state rate law was un- institutlnnal because It could not be tiforced without Interfering in Its deration with the authority of the iterstnte commerce commission. This. 3 thought, waa clearly an Invasion of ates rights. Governor O'Neal's Motion. 'This Is a measure of vital Import ice to the states," declared Governor .'Neal, "and as such It should be ealt with by the states through their hlef executives. The states ought to ?t in unison and voice the indigna on of the entire people of the coun y before the United States supreme ourt I think thai we ought to ap point a committee to represent us be- re the court." "Why don't you put hat in the form f a motion ?" asked Governor James lawley, of Idaho. "I move, Mr. Chairman," was the H'ly of the Alabama governor, "that his conference appoint a committee f five governors to take such action a may be necessary, before the Tnlted States aupreme eourt to see hat the right of the states are prop sly protected." Opposition was encountered from everal delegates on the ground that ie expenses of the committee should tot legally be paid pro rata by the tates, and Governor Stubbs, of Kan s, moved the appointment of a com nlttee of three, who could employ heir own states attorney to draft uch papers as might ba necetaary. Tnder hia motion the committee was appointed by this conference to rep resent the governors' conference In his case and to file briefs with the ru pre tne court as a protest against rustics Sanborn's decision. Oovernor Hadley, of Missouri, suff rested that . Governor - Harmon,, of hlo, be appointed chairman of tho ommlttce, .Governor Stubbs embod ed the suggestion in his motion and ncluded Governors Hadley and Aid?

Governor Gilchrist of Florida, who it first opposed, later supported the intendment as substituted, but urged hat the "gentlemen sleep on tho luestlon over night" and called atten lon to tha fact that the hour for ad iourament had arrived. Ills voice was Irowned by pries for tbe motion and when quiet waa . restored Governor Jhufrotii, of Colorado, urged that the ictlon of the conference be made un animous. . , . . . , . .

Proposed PJlodification of Existing Arrangement A provisional modification of an . arrangement which has existed for many years has been reached between the Western Union Telegraph Com pany, The Anglo-American Cable Company and the Direct U.S. Cable Company, under which the cable sys tems of these companies now worked exclusively in business connection with each other, but operated and maintained separately, will be oper ated in direct physical connection with each other and with the Western Union land system. Two objects are to be attained by this arrangement: Fint, mora efficient and economi cal operation. Second, the introduction of new forme of service to the advantage of the public. The Trans-Atlantic Cable Situation and Competition The trans-Atlantic cable situation is as follows: The Mackay group of seven ca bles, including the German cables, owned by or worked in physical con nection with the telegraph lines or that company form one system. The French cables compriso an in dependent system, using both the Western Union and the Mackay land lines for their United $tatea connec tion. In competition with these is the Western Union group of ca'. lea, eight in all, owned by three separate com panies, two of which are British companies owning five of the eisht cables. Two only of the Britith owned cablet terminate in the United Statet and all of them are entirely depen dent on the Wcttern Union for their connection with arty tclrgrafh tyttetv, or for their reaching any cer.tte ot baeineee, and are now worked excln eively, eofarae baeineee ie concerned, with the Weetern Union. Efficiency Increased, Waste Prevented The proposed arrangement between the Western Union, the Anglo-American and the Direct U. S. companies will bring the eight cables of the three companies under one operating con trol. The consequent increase in effectiveness and economy will place ths Western Union In a position to offer certain advantages in cable service not now enjoyed oy tne puouc. The other way open to enable tha Western Union to make ouch im provements and introduce such new services as it proposes to do, would ba to lay new cables. This would seem . to bs the height of foLy. Duplication of tbe existing tran.i Atlantic cable facilities at a cost o.'' many millions, whir.- thrre are more than ample facilities for all business, would put an unnecessary financial burden upon an already fully burdened business and would probably postpone the reduction of rates or introduction of new services. Limited Business Hours ind Idle Facilities As at present carried on, ths trans Atlantic cable business is practically all flash service, '. i. instantaneous. Owing to the difference in time, there are only a few business hours of the day common to both sides and during these hours at least 75 of the cable business is doneThis is demon strated by the accompanying chart. In the' Interests of international business nothing should be done to Interfere in any way with tha so-called flash or instantaneous service, and tha lines should ba kept clear to ac aoaimodatc such messages during tbs few business hours common to both aountrias) but to continue to confine the cables to this class of service, as kt present, will utilise only about as$ of tha existing capacity of millions of property and nlacss on .that limited servica all the capital, maintenance and operating charges. .

Efficient Service Require Sufficient Facilities To meet these requirements it la essential not only that there be at all times sufficient cable facilities, under one control, but that tbey should ba operated interchangeably with each other and in close physical connec tion with land lines as one system. Ample spare facilities are necessary to provide against the very frequent csble interruptions. , ' ' i Neither the Western Union nor any one of rhc companies of the Western Union group has, independently of tho others, facilities enough to handle the business which at times any ona company might be called upon to taka care of, because of some particular rush of business, or because of some cable interruption. Nor could any ona company lurnisn an tne oireci circuit necessary for efficient service, al though the combined facilities of these companies are smple if they could be used supplementary to each other and interchangeably.' . , 4 As it is, each company operates Ita own cables through separate and dis tinct offices and under separate and distinct management. All interchange of business is by sctual transfer of the business from one company to the other, with the consequent delay and interruption of a service in which seconds are valuable. Daily and Week-end i ' ; Cable Letters So toon as the proposed arrange- ment gscs info effect, tha Western Unin purposes, with tha consent of . the British Post Office Department, , lo introduce at least two newfeaturew or services in addition to the proposed deferred rate the DA1L Y CABLE LETTER f and the 1 ', WEEK-END CABLE LETTER at a very low rate for cable servica only. This will enuiie the public to save the six to sipht day t consumed a the trans-Atlantic portage of mailt. Monopoly of Cable Business Impossible There is no cable monopoly poa sible. The three systems tha Western Union, the French and the Mackay will continue to exist. ;.' The Mackay Companies la a hold . ing organiaation with no physical -property, but exercising through stock ownership, lease or contract, operat ing control of various companies owning land lines and cables which make up the Mackay System. Through this control all th various properties are operated as ona system to great advantage in service over what could be given by these same companies if operk.ed separately. - . ; The French cables form another system. The Western Union System, under the proposed arrangement for one operating control over tbe present segregated units, will be enabled to make two distinct advances in tha trans-Atlantic cable business: . iBEtTERSERVICE. This will be insured by more efficient and econom ical working resulting from single direction over the operations of both cables and land lines. t-PUBUC ADVANTAGES. Tha greater part of ths cable capacity haa been and is now unutilised. It will continue to lie dormant aod unutilised under existing conditions and tradi tion . Thn Western Union nurooseS to make these wasted facilities useful to the public by means of new kinds of cable service. . .
