Enactment cf legislation designed to prevent the desertion of the crews of foreign ship in this country and the entry into the country of persons as stow aways will be asked of congress by the house immigration committee. In making this ' statement today. Representative Johnson of Washing ton, chairman of the committee, said the number of desertions was large. Ohree members of the house im migration committee will go to Ellis Island toorrow to study the stowa way and desertion problem at New York. the valuations. For the telephone company Mr. Tou declared that on the actual mon 3v invested in the State on property alone its earnings last year were only 5.3 per cert. It was contended that more revenue must be received cr the company would face bankruptcy srd this, he said, could only be pre vented by increasing its rates. If the increase asked for is granted the net income on an investment of near iy four millions would be only 3.2 per cent, attorneys for the plaintiff argued. Attorneys for the company were defeated in an effort to submit their testimony yesterday and then allow a cross examination by the cities protesting against the increases in January, the commission ruling with Mr. Cansler that the testimony and examination should be heard simul taneously. Mr. Cansler contended that the petitioner would be given a distinct advantage if it were allow ed to present its sids of the contro versy 60 days in advance of the de fendants v ho are protesting against the increase. It 'was intimated yesterday that a hard fight will be made when the hearing is held by the cities over one point that has not been giver, publicity at this time. That is over the ouestion of the amount revenue the Southern Bell company gets from the A. T. and T. Company or long distance calls which are deliver ed in this State but which originate; with the larger corporation. It ;s contended that the Southern Bell receives only 15 per cent of long dis tance calls originating on its own lines and nothing cn ones received snd delivered from the A. T. and T Co. Over this feature of the contro versy it is .predicted that the cities hope to prevent the increase in rates since it is nointed- out that the revenue of the Southern Bell com pany would be much larger but for the fact that the larger corporation owns and controls it.

Those who have seen goats domi ciled in the crowded alley of Europe, .-tabled 'comfortably. in anything from a dry goods box to the spare bedroom, know that the goat is hardy and long suffering and two quarts of goat's milk a day give health and vigor to many a poor family. Though dwellers in flat buildings might encounter difficulties in rais ing goat. others who have no facil ities to finance and operate a cow might easily undertake goat culture. The goat is ncntubercular and safe and the milks excels as food. Cream is emulsified and does not rise to the top. The expense of keeping a goat is trifling. In soe circustances the benefits are large. COTTON New York. Nov. 24.
