Company Demands Deposit Before Is-'
staling Piones Is Law Unto Itself
and Aanunea to Be Public Boss
Bather Than Servant.
The opening wedge of what promises
to be a thorough investigation into the
business methods of the Pacific States
Telephone & Telegraph Company by
the railroad commit ion will be entered
at 1:30 p. m. next Friday, when a hear
ing has been set by the commission up
on three features of the company's
methods of dealing with the public
"advance payments," "termination of
contracts, and 'ehort tern contracts."
These are among the tnaay most im
portant business methods of the tele
phone company which have been
brought to the attention ef the commis
sion in the past, upon complaint of pa
trons of the system, and they will be
followed by hearings upon other phases
of tne company 's dealings witn the puD
lie, such as telephone rental rates, long
distance tolls, etc. Advance payments
and short term contracts, two of the
snbjects for Friday's hearing, involve
the right of the company to require ad
vance payments from certain classes of
its patrons for telephone rental and for
its right to, require a deposit of a cer
tain sum as a condition precedent to the
installation of a phone in a private of
fice or resident.
The "termination of contract" sub
ject brings in the right of the company
to charge fee ($5 usually) for discon
necting a phone from a private office or
residence when the instrument has not
been in service for one year from the
date of signing the contract. This cus
tom on the part of the company has
been the cause of much complaint be
fore the cnmmissioa, and, since there
has been uo court decision to cite as a
precedent or determine the rights of
the company in the premises to make
such a churgo for disconnecting a
phone, the order of the commission in
passing upon this issue will tie an event
of no little importance from the view
point of both the subscriber aud the
corporation. It is expected that these
licniiugs will extend over a period of
several days.
A man may be resneeted for the en
emies he makes, but be is never envied.

United Press Correspondent
Tells of Trip to Przemysl
(The following story from the only
American newspaper corrcspoudcr.t
with the Austrian army at the front
was received by tho United Press by
mail. It was stamped: "Vom Krjcgs
prosswptartier gencsmight " literally
"From the war press bureau, approved."-
By rVflUa G. Shepherd,
Przemysl, Austrian Oalicia. October
27. (By mail to Kew York.) When
I begun my long, eventful journey to
tho tcwa, Przrrays! waa the very point
of tho line between the Russian and
Austrian armies, but ltst night, labor
ing in our antompbile through the mud,
we found a grim Austrian Uhlan wait-
ling for ns in the rain on a bill top with
te news tnat tne Austrian army had
pushed the Russians buck 30 miles.
"It was a tlacgliter," said the Uh
lan. "The Bussians had eaten nothing
for six daya. Their officers ordered
them to go into battle, but the hungry
men said: 'Give us food and we will
fight.' Tho officers said: 'We wiU
give you lead food.' Aad they turned
the machine guns on their own soldiers
to drive them into battle. That was
very bad for the Kussiaa soldiers, nieht
wnhr? Behind them their own guns
would kill them. Before them the A us
triun guns would kill them. And be
sides, they were dying cf hunger."
(Paragraph cut out by the censor.)
The I.hlan smiled triumphantly and
darted Ms horse off down hill through
the mud. Thus the Austriaa noint has
slipped out of my present reach by ,KI
miles, but I am promised that tomor
row 1 shall be taken to tho very point
where the enemy's lines are so near
that constant rifle fire is going on.
. The big fact that stands out at pres
ent is that the Austrian government
wirott the rnited States to know what
is going on in Austria. Vienna was
unrepresented for weeks in the world 's
news. Austria had been blamed for
sending a note to Servia that brought
on the war and Austria's side of the

over toward the Atlantic ocean frow
kcrc, there is a long, zigiag buttle line
dipping down into Franco towards
Paris. But all that gigantic movement
of which only a month ago I was a
participating witness, seems a world
wide distance away. Here is another
battle line, aot ill a garden land like
France, hot through mountains and
wild country, owr SCO miles long, with
,009,000 mea engaged.
It was in Berlin that I received my
marching orders for Austria. Would
I be welcome! was the first question
in my mind. I went to the Austrian
consulate in Berlin and said that I
wanted to go to the Austriaa front.
"We shall be delighted to have an
American newspaper man tell the troth
about Austria,-' said the consul.
He found a small clear space oa my
vise-covered pssport, wrote "Uood for
journeying in Austria" on it and re
fused to charge me the usual fee for
the service.
"Here's a box you can. drop some
money in for the Red Cross," he suid,
"but I won't charge an American
newspaper man money for entering
Austria just new. Vc want you
there."
Next I went to Vienna. For several
days it looked as if I would have ti
walk from Berlin to the city whero
"The Merry Widow" wus written.
There were;no trains. "Wait a few
days and you will get a train," tho
Austrian consul told me. "The Ger
mans are moving h'00,000 men into
Franc just now uud they are using the
cars." Bo I hung wov.nd Berlin wnit-
in.
In Paris such a delay would have
been intolerable. While I was in the
French capital every placo of amuse
ment was closed and most of tho res
taurants and my hotel were empty cav
erns. My only amusement after sup
per was to go to a little nickclinthc-
sbit purler where I could hear phono
graph music. I suppose the crowd of
newspnper fellows still in Paris are
still spending their evening-! in that
way and watching nights for Zeppe
lins. But Berlin wss different. I went to
too theatres. I attended one of the
famous Sundnv noon concerts of the

when due. This business is firmly established with ample
financial backing. Present business is good and future
