Mr. Stlckney's address vas Illustrated -with moving picture views of the country through which he Transcontinental winds its way. : John M. Loots, as toastmaster, first tailed upon E. 0. Hill of this city, the nation's "ro3q king." Mr. Hill paid his tribute to the telephone and concluded with a broadside for those of Richmond's population who prefer to knock rather than boost. "Sometimes I think there are not onough of us keeping up with times," said Mr. Hill. "Sometimes I think we have too many kickers. Instead of finding fault, let us boost We need more sand, some of us, If we are to take advantage of our opportunities." These remarks made a big hit with the hustling, live-wire TwelveSix members. Praises Dr. Bell. Wilfred Jes6up was called upon tiezt by the toastmaster. He talked mostly of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, Inventor of the telephone, and now deeply Interested In advancing the science of aviation. "American business is today absolutely dependent upon the telephone, yet, the year I was born, the year of the Philadelphia Centennial exhibition t)T. Bell was exhibiting for the first ttmA his crude telephonic device, and those who saw it looked upon Bell as an Impractical crank. ; "How much this nation owes to its Inventors." Hutton Made History. ! Among those who followed with keen Interest Mr. Stlckney's "story of the telephone" was a man who had helped write nearly every chapter of this amazing Industrial Odessy, Noah Hutton, former manager of the Rich

mond Bell Telephone exchange and the dean of all Indiana telephone men a real pioneer of the business. He received an appreciative tribute from Toastmaster Lontz. ; Mr. Stickney told how thirty-nine years ago, Dr. Bell, standing in a Bos-

sistcnt, Thomas A. Watson, In a room 200 feet distant, over the first telephone line, it transmitted sound only ono way. The world moves a long way, ahead In the span of one man's life. On Monday afternoon. January 23, 1915, this same Alexander Graham Bell, sitting in the offices of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, at New York, talked to this same Thomas A. Watson in San Francisco, over a wire stretching 3,400 miles across the continent and part of a system that includes 9.000.000 telephones, connected by 21,000,000 miles of wire. Telephone Roll Called. After the moving picture exhibition the telephone demonstration began with the tailing of the roll of operators at New York, Pittsburg, Chicago. Omaha, Denver, Salt Lake City, Winncmucca, Nev., San Francisco and Loa Angeles. It was like calllug the roll of a company of soldiers. As Los Angeles reported, concluding Avith the usual California!! boost for his state: "And tho sun is shining here gloriously, as usual;" everything was ready for the "wire party" which cost th American Telephone and Telegraph company approximately $1,000 for two continent spanning circuits were used exclusively for one hour. , "This is Frank Wlggans talking," came over the wire. ' . Could it be possible, wondered the Richmond auditors, that this voice was speaking in Los Angeles; surely the speaker could not be further away than Indianapolis. "This is George Knollenberg talking, Frank." replied the dean of Richmond merchants. What Wlggans Said. , "Well. I'll be darned." exclaimed the wking" of Los Angeles. "Lot of young fellows-here tonight,

El vord's arrest resulted from an Investigation made by Prosecutor Reller regarding the case of Cabbie Coombs, of Hagerstown. who was fined for Intoxication Monday. Coombs told the prosecutor that he with John Anderson and Verdy Coombs ' bought the liquor from Elvord who had been hiding the whiskey in a stall in the Ledbetter livery stable. The three men Issued sworn statements, separately. Their statements were presented to Judge Fox this morning who immediately sentenced Elvord to ninety days In the county jail. "It's another frame up," said Elvord when brought before the Judge. "The men got their whiskey somewhere else and blamed it on me." Anderson and the Coombs brothers, however, told the prosecutor that each of them "threw in a quarter and bought the whiskey." Prosecutor Reller told the court that there was other evidence that could be brought in to prove that Elvord was "at his old trade." "I have given you all the chance that you ought to have," the judge informed Elvord. "This time it means a jail sentence."

including Timothy Nicholson," continued Mr. Knollenberg. 'Tell him his son. John, is sitting on rr.y left," replied Wlggans. "And say, George, in fifteen years you will be able to deliver an order of drygoods to me, here in Los Angeles, in twenty hours, by aerial express." "I believe you. Prank," replied Mr. Knollenberg. "Is Charley Price there?" Wlggans asked. "Yea." Wants Dish of Cream. "Tell him to send me a dish of ice cream. I'm hungry for it," said Wig. gans enthusiastically, and both audiences laughed. Leroy Browne then spoke briefly to Wlggans and Timothy Nicholson had the opportunity of talking with his son. The crowd laughed sympathetically at the conversation between John McCarthy and his son, Robert. They had not seen each other for many months and it was evident that the emotions of each put them at a loss for something to say. Finally McCarthy, senior, managed to inform his son that "four hundred people are listening to you, boy." "Well, goodbye, father." came the voice of McCarthy, junior.

To Henry Gennett came Los Angeles' greetings to Richmond from Schuman Jones. "The sun is shining brightly here," said Jones, which all Californians say when they can think of nothing else. Gennett Praises Wayne. "The moonlit vales and hills of old Wayne are very beautiful tonight," retorted Mr. Gennett. As the Los Angeles expatriates pressed their receivers closely to their ears the clear tenor voice of O. C. Krone singing "Indiana," came to them. The next number on the program was the rendition, in San Francisco, of the phonographic record. "Littlo Grey Home in the West," sung by Alma Cluck. Following this selection the managing editor of the Los Angeles Times was "hooked up" with Dwight Young, managing editor of The Item. After fraternal greetings the Los Angeles Journalist inquired: "Who is The Item supporting for president." The banqueters awaited the reply with rapt interest. What The Item's political leanings are, has for several

years, been the subject of street-corner j

debate. After a short pause, Young replied: "We will support Roosevelt." The unenlightened audience laughed. Chinese Exchange Greetings. Greetings were next exchanged between the managing editor of the Los Angeles Examiner and Luther Feeger, managing editor of The Palladium. The two editors exchanged greetings and then Harry Lon Bon and Cheun Shuey were called to the telephone. For some time there was an exchange of Chinese vocabularies, mixed in with a few English words, and the auditors enjoyed the discussion immensely. Mayor Sebastian of Los Angeles, next spoke, and was replied to by Mr. Stickeny. "Los Angeles extends its greetings to Richmond." said Seoastaln. "Bring your club out here some time and we will show you fellows that we know how to treat you right." Drags Politics on Wire. "Hurrah for Hughes and Fairbanks," shouted Frank Clark of Richmond, addressing his brother, O. P. Clark. "I think they'll be elected," was the rfply. P. J. Freeman also exchanged greetings with Clark. Roy Compton, speaking with his brother Lawrence, urged him to come to the coast, "where real people live." "Richmond looks good to me," the youngster replied. Compton elso spoke to Ed Crawford. The wife of Mayor Sebastian then spoke to Mrs. Krueger. Well wishes

were exchanged and both women con-,

Mrs. Krueger. j Both Women Awed. j "I know how you feel," replied Mrs. j Sebastian. ; The demonstration concluded with ; the sounding of the pacific surf at Cliff House as moving pictures showed the view, and with a "good night" roll call of the, operators from coast to coast Following the demonstration car

toons of well known Richmond men were thrown upon the screen and Wilfred Jessup humorously related their careers. Nearly one hundred women guests filled the gymnasium balcony during the demonstration and each was provided with a telephone receiver. The music was an attractive feature of the evening. There were selections by a quartette, comprising Mrs. F. W. Krueger, Mrs. Ray Longnecker, O. C. Krone and B. C. Barteh with Mrs. Fred Miller as accompanist.'

"While the cost of maintenance for type C lamps, a cost the city assumes entirely, is more than that of the luminous arc lamps, the board agreed to the decision of the committee in favor of the former lamps because the cost of installing them Is about $4,000 less than the cost of the other lamps. The board by 60 doing keeps its agreement with tho property owners to make the installation cost, which tho property owners assume, as ' low as possible," Mr. Bavis said. ' "This installation cost will be, approximately, 91.57 H a front foot. The installation C06t to . North Ninth street property holders was approximately 91-60.
