Each member nation is entuled to three officially accredited delegates, but they may send substi tutes and experts as well. Sweden has availed itaeslf of this privilege and one of Ita three substitute dele gates is a woman, Mrs. Anna Bugge- Wlcksell. widely known as an expert on International law. Much of the early work of the ses sion will be devoted to organization, the appointment of committees being one of the most troublesome Items. The likelihood is that some 12 or 15 committees will be formed, and that tho various ltcma on the agenda will be divided into related groups and distributed among those committees. Among the duties of the assembly will be the final and formal estab lishment of a number of permanent subordinate organizations like the court of International Justice, the health organization, the commission on communications and transit, and the Bpecial tribunal that is to deal with all disputes connected with In ternational communications. Incidenally certain questions will be considered concerning the rela tionship between the council and the assembly as well as between those bodies and the various technical or ganizations created by them. Other important subjects to come before the assembly will be action on the recommendations of the recent International financial conference al Brussels; formation of policy and methods for the employment of the leagues' weapon, the economic boy cott; and preparation for concerted action looking toward the suppres sion of all traffic In women and children. Other questions of equal Importance may be broached, as the assembly is absolutely master of Its own procedure and can vote leave to advance an entirely new proposition at 48 hours notice. Subjects to come before the as sembly at the Instance of Individual member-nations are several propos ing amendments to the covenant, some of which aim at Improving the position of the smaller nations with in the league, while one submitted by Holland deals with the covenant provision for suppression of the opium traffic in tho Far East. It is, of course, lmpsosible to fore tell how long the session will last, but Information received from re liable sources indicate three or four weeks. o . Holland Wants Some Protection TOKIO, Nov. 15 Holland will ask for a special conference to protect her Interests in the Yap cables, ac cording to a "statement issued here by the Netherlands Press Agency. The communique contends that owners of the cables and that Hol land has never given Germany the right to give any power in the Dutch interests. Court Gets Wrathy Bawls Out Witness John Hunter came very nearly getting fined for contempt of court this morning after Judge Hamilton had directed the jury to return a ver dict in favor of the defendants in tho suit brought by Mr. Hunter against H. Uhllg. Mr. Hunter was "bawled out" In rather plalnforward language by Judge Hamilton as the nliiltitlff nerslsted in making deroga tory remarks concerning the defend ant. It appears that in 1916 Mr. Uhllg who conducts an electrical business was a tenant of a building owned by Hunter, and in payment of his rent. tendered a check of rather large pro portions. The check was lost by Mr. f!unter. who procured a duplicate. Both gentlemen forgot the incident until a few month sago, when Mr. Hunter found the check he had mis laid in 1815, and Immediately de manded payment which was refused and at once placed the check In the hands of Attorney u. l,. g.aay ioi collection. Suit was Instituted, and this morning after considerable dif ficulty a Jury was secured. Mr. Hunter was placet! on the stand and under the skillful ques tioning of Attorney Eddy told of the transaction and denied having ever collected for the rent. I pon cross examination. Attorney Long present ed the duplicate check which had been found by Mr. tniig among some old papers, and forced Mr. Hunter to acknowledge nis signa ture. The Dlaintiff was then re- aulred to acknowledge the suit lost and a verdict for the defendant was directed. Uoon leaving the stand Mr. Hun ter attempted to make a statement to the Jury, but was prevented by the court. He persisted, however, and as he started for his seat Informed Che Jury that "If Mr. Uhllg was a gentleman, he would have presented that duplicate check and settled the affair out of court." "Mr. Hunter." shouted juuge Hamilton, leaning over his desk. "I have a notion to fine you severely fnr aneh statement. You have no right to speak in such language of Mr. Uhllg. This court has no cen sure" for him. but some of the state ments you have made wouia near criticism." n r. rt nf uMih riant 4Uta'o Huae!ri'Ie',Ued br the day in Rot.burf attending to MUI' "ran for- hualn.s. mattara. TELEPHONE RATE Application For Higher Rates Filed With the Public Service Commission. PARTY LINES PAY MORE New Kates (iradiutte Increase From ItO ler Cent on HunUiohh Phone to tm 2-.1 Per Cent on Four Party llt'Midence I.lnen. New 15.00 5.00 3.25 2.75 2.50 An application for Increased tele phone rates, varying from 30 per cent to 66 2-3 pr cent, locally, has been made by the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company to the public service commission. Business phones under the desired schedule will be increased about 30 per cent, and four party lines will be increased 66 2-3 per cent, throwing the burden of support on to the resident patrons. A change in classification is de sired, a new liBtlng for the various exchanges throughout the state being asked. At the present time Koseburg is placed in the third group, other cities in this class being Ashland, Bend, Corvallis, Cottage Grove. Grants Pass, Heppner, Klamath Falls, Milton, Milwaukee, Oak Grove, Oregon City. Prineville and Tilla mook. The application In setting out the desired change in classification divides class two and creates several new groups. In this classification, Roseburg, Klamath FallB, Oregon City and The Dalles are placed in group four. The application requests newrates as follows: Old Business phone $3.50 Two-party business ... 3.00 One-party residence ... 2.00 Two-party renidence .. 1.75 Four-party residence .. 1.50 Rates for wall phones, only zx cents extra being charged for desk phone. "The fair value of applicant 's properties," says the application filed by C. B- Hickman, division commer cial superintendent, "devoted to a general and comprehensive telephone sen-ice in the state of Oregon, Is in excess of $21,500,000; that appli cant's annual net revenue from oper ations In the state of Oregon is less than nothing; that to be requested to continue to operate under these conditions is a confiscation of appli cant's property, and applicant de clares that It Is both unwilling and unable to maintain service and make extensions to its plant under the ex-, fstlng conditions. j "Many of the extraordinary eco nomic cbanR'S. particularly in the matter of wages for labor, vastly in creasing applicant's costs of opera tion and construction, experienced by applicant in common with business everywhere as a remit or a worm war. which changes the public ser vice commission has heretofore dealt with as temporary and transi' iu, are in applicant's opt-ration permanent, and must now be recognized as per manent factors in determining juft. reasonable and sufficient rates." Because of the orders of the pub lic service commission. Oregon peo ple are securing the same compre h'Mislvf telephone service as Is ren- dered hy the company In California and Washington at lower rates than those charged in the neighboring states. In spite of every handicap, the company declares, lit the flrst nine months of 1920 it has actually in stalled 24,205 telephones. This is about 85 per cent more than the average for the first nine months of any of the preceding five years and constitutes the best record ever mude In Oregon in the mutter of keeping pace with demand. The company still has 2000 orders for telephone iustallations now held back for lack of plant. The company has reached a point, declares the - applicant. beyond which It cannot go In meeting per sistent demand, unless lis properties are put on a paying basis in Oregon, enabling it to sustain its credit and secure Oregon's necessities In money and material for its extraordinary growth. Telephone rates have been the sub ject of discussion for more than a year. For a time the company oper ated under the rate schedule of the postmaster-general, but the state public service commission stepped in and cut this rate and ordered the telephone company to make a refund to subscribers, which amounted to approximately $132,000. An Investi gation of the commission in 1919 caused that body to declare that the telephone company had not, during the period its rates had been subject to the jurisdiction of the commis sion, received such a return as courts and commissions have generally deemed adequate. The telephone company makes Its showing for increased rates on the strength of being handicapped . for funds to maintain the present ser vice; on the disparity of rates be tween those now existing in Oregon and In neighboring states served by the company; by the costs which jumped during the war and remained high, and the lack of Interest yield. It asks for the public service com mission to grant an early hearing and prompt Investigation of the Is sues Involved. Geo. A. Lovejoy Has a Word or Two to Say In Support of Sanitarium.

"The Ktblcal Physician Would IH credit an TinMhlcaP Pretender Who Amkujiic4 to Combat IHmimnc," Kays Writer. PORTLAND, Or., NoV. 13. (Kdl tor News-Review). You were good) enough recently to print a letter of i explanation sent you, the object of : which was lo set forth to your read- ers the Winchester hospital proposl- 1 Hon as I understood it. and knew it to be. Hence. I will again presume to briefly submit ft statement which I tnfst you will be disposed to give due publicity, tending to re-siale my position und enter direct deniul to certain statements and misrepresen tations made by those now In your city who. purely from a prejudiced standpoint, would prevent if possible the realization of a constructive move which, by no stretch of imagi nation could be counted other than a community asset. At the outset, I wish to emphati cally assert that Just two things are responsible for tho direct opposition against the erection of the hospital building at Winchester. The first of these is purely a question of ethics. The ethical physician would discredit an "unethical" pretender who as sumes to combat disease In other than the manner prescribed by the accepted ethics of the profession. The second motive for this opposi tion on the pnrt of I)r. Ksther Polil Lovejoy Is a combination of the first, coupled with a sincere but mistaken conviction on her part that the loca tion of the hospital building and premises on the Winchester townslte. which I recently purchased, will, on account of its proximity to the Dnm bletou ranch, in which property she is huereflied. greatly depreclule the value of same. In the first place, I do not believe thai tho value of properties will be afTect"d, except favorably, because of ( lie e ahHshtnenl of this Improve ment at Winchester, and in this be Itef many with whom I have con versed seem to concur. Dr. Lovejoy was willing enough to sell all or part of her holdings, notwithstanding tho purposes for which it was to be used, as evidenced by telegrams sent me from New York in answer to my tele graphic offers submitted to her. As late as a few weeks ago. she pro posed to offer no objection lo the erection of the hospital, provided we purcbastd the Taylor ptace about a mile up the river. If a cash payment and mortgage were promptly forth coming from the Winchester Hospi tal company. On account of delay in getting ready to solicit financial support, the company was not able to promptly comply, though It pro posed to do so later. So far as my personal interest In tho project Is concerned. I see no promise of even compensating profit, considering the time expeiub (j and reHnHlhility assumed, nor is the piv I have made these statements The End of a Perfect Day L N K C - f f. Jy x ?l WHAT i y'y 3- (CttftWl ' - - - property which I have sold to the company disposed of at as good a figure as it would bring me were 1 to place it directly on the market as acreago at this time. Plans have been so formulated that the Institu tion would be self-sustaining and pay eight per cent Interest on the money Invested in the preferred stock, and to the holders of this slock whose money is used in tho erection of the building, such return is due. The holders of the common stock can hope to make no profit un less the above will have been accom plished, and if we are so fortunate as to make the common stock valuable. then such an Institution cannot but reflect credit on the community and be, indeed, an asset to the stale. I have before stated, and again most emphatically say, that the institu tion, as proposed, will be conducted along modern and scientific lines, un der the superintendency of accept able physicians of standing in the medical world. These are available to us, and will be acquired when nnd as needed. Kvery precaution has been planned and will be taken lo thoroughly protect the wuter of the North rmpqua river from pollution In any way, shape, manner or form, and all sewage originating on the grounds will be scientifically treated and then carried to a point that will empty far below the site, of the dam nnd intake of Itoseburg's water sup In ierson to almost every member of the rtnte hoard of health, rneh of whom when and as Interviewed ex pressed bis belief that these sn re guards were possible and that so fnr as each was concerned, expressed no desire lo hinder the development of our plans. The lady seeertnry of the Oregon State Anti-Tuberculosis association is presumably, because of her position, interested In the fight being waged fi Haiti st the white plague and tells of the need for hospitals and. in th next brealh, undertakes to support the opposition which would defeat the means for more effectively fight ing the disease. The paid attorney of the ethfc:il health association at tacks my motives and. Indirectly, my character as a business man. This is the first time in the history of my business experience throughout sev eral states, nfter personal business relations with several thousunds of Individuals, that any such question was ever raised or an attempt made to raise it. I mil perfectly willing lo let 1 host who know me best speak for mo as to mv motives In this con mc t Ion. and only wish to add (hat I "taiid willing to mnke personal sac rifices and every possible personul effort in connection with the success ful carrying thru of the Winchester hospital project, to the end, not that I might profit therefrom, but that such an institution be developed a: will accomplish great good along tin lines intended and remain a monu meiit to those who are willing to fact opposition and suffer criticism to bring about I hose desired ends. As I see it, the question Is up for decision as to whether the larger In terests of tho community and indeed those extending far beyond, are to b served, or shall personal selfishness and age-old prejudice prevail.
