GETS A RESTRAINING ORDER
Mr.. DanenhoWer Takes the Tele-
phone Dispute Into Court.
he Wants the Question Settled
Whether the Company's Rule As
to Exclusive Use Is Legal.

Mr.. William w. Danenhower, the
proprietor of the Fredonia Hotel, on
street, between Thirteenth and Four
teenth. and also the owner of a large
grain business, yesterday flied bill
in equity against the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company to en-
join it from removing the telephone
from his hotel.
Mr.. Danenhower recites that the
company is using the public highways
of the District and that from its fran
chise il has for years past derived a
large income. In return for this fran
chise he says 1t is bound to render fair
and reasonable service. He says that
until November, 1897, his hotel tele-
phone was used constantly. both by his
guests and himself, with no complaint
from the company. His guests regard
the use of the telephone as part of the
modern facilities of hotel, which they
are entitled to in a first-class hotel
On November /, 1897, the telephone
company notified him that his guests
must not be allowed the use of the
phone
Mr.. Danenhower also has a telephone
in his grain warehouse. He says that
the company refuses to allow him to
use his own hotel telephone 10 talk
grain business with his warehouse.
The company has a monopoly, he
says, and can enforce its regulations or
deprive customer of telephone faciIi-
ties.
IT is alleged that the true interpre-
tation of the contract made by Mr.
Danenhower and the company actually
permits his guests TO use the telephone
as freely and as often as they wish Il
is alleged that the rate he would be re-
quired 10 pay message if he agreed to
this system would be exorbitant and
only charged because the company has
a monopoly and its subscribers cannot
do without il.
Several letters were sent to Mr.. Da-
nenhower by President Bryan. of the
telephone company. beginning on No
vember /. each more peremptory than
the one before. each calling attention
to the fact that the rules of the COM
pany We're being violated. and stating
that the hotel telephone would be re-
moved to-day.
Mr.. Danenhower, asked that the COM
pany be restrained and that the gen.
eral subject of his rights be defined.
A restraining order was granted by
Judge Bradley yesterday afternoon,
and the hearing of the case set for
January Is.
The outcome of the case will be
awaited with interest by many sub

1t is very nearly useless to surmise

Dow, Jones G. Co. sag, on the other side:
The people who have been right on

that the advance in them is by no

manipulation. but on knowledge of
coming Developments, not in the shape
of combination or deal but in regard
to earnings and dividends. The Metro
politan people are perfectly willing to
tell stockholders about current business
and surprisingly large earnings on the
stock in view of the fact that three OF
the important lines are not in use and
that the Madison avenue line only runs
from Astor Place. Very much more

probability that there will be no dec.s-

the fact that prices are already high,

circumstances make up situation that
