"One thing is certain" said Mr..
Brown, "lhat when our company has
eventually made all necessary i'm
provements for the benefit of the
public, we will make one change for
the benefit of our employees aud our
treasury. We will adopt the system
OF other countries, and the nickel
will be in the slot before the bell
rings. Then there will be less idle
talk over the wires. The instru-
ments will be better preserved and
people won't ask twenty times a day
What time is it, CentraiP 1t will
then be cheaper for them to buy a
clock of their own. We may lose
300 or 400 subscribers by adopting
the San Francisco rule but we will
be the gamers in the end"

to witness the amount of "Cash"

amounts swelling the "returns" OF
the bank for tax purposes, and then
withdrawn this morning by the mis-

1t appears to us that the old, old
trick Of promoting new company
with paper capital is on foot again
for the purpose Of effeoting a "com-
promise" with the present corpora
tion and then to sell out to it for a
handsome figure. That kind of
business has worked here before,
but we doubt that proposition of
starting new telephone company
aud competing successfully with the
one in operation will "scare" the
stockholders OF the Mutual Tele-
phone Company into making any
financial compromise with the
spectators who at present are
manipulating the wires connecting
them with our esteemed contem-
poraries.

tude without first ascertaining the

Mr.. Godfrey Brown, the managing
director of the Mutual Telephone
Company was seen this morning by
a representative Of The INDEPENDENT
and was pleased to furnish all pos
sible Information in regard TO the
bad" service, the "buzzing" and the
strikes of operators. Mr.. Brown
was connected with the Bell
Telephone Company here until
it amalgamated with the Mutual
and has remained since then as
managing director. He has studied
the systems in vogue in other coun-
tries and knows what he is talking
about.

vides in any way against

The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-01-03

In regard to the "strike" OF oper-
ators and linemen as reported in the
Advertiser Mr.. Brown stated that
the men we're paid off as usual
last week and after having received
their money declined to return to
work without their wages being
raised. The company could not see
any reason to increase the wages
and the men quit. Mr.. Brown told
the reporter that the company is
paying $50 a month wages to the
chief operator and from $50 to $40
a month to the other employees, In
San Francisco a chief operator re-
ceives S27 month and the other
operators $17. He did not think
that the men who have left the ser.
vice ought to kick. There have
been many complaints against the
operators, but the company has
treated them very we'll. One oper-
ator had been dismissed a short
while ago for using most abusive
language across the wires to Chi
nese subscriber. Another OF the
striking" employees had come to
the Office and asked for loan to
defray the expenses Of the burial OF
his mother The superintendent
advanced him $50 with the under
standing that the amount should be
returned at the rate OF SIS week to
be deducted from his wages. The
man was thankful and accepted the
money, and then he "struck." The
men who have left will not find en-
ployment with the company again
"The services OF other operators
have been secured, and we will go
on as usual. The old Bell Tele-
phone boys did not desert u.s." said
Mr., Brown.

Messrs. Percy Chaplin, j. H.
Roubieu and Frank Kouns, of the
Natchitoches boys returned from
New Orleans Tuesday night, where
they had gone with Co. tx" to
enlist in Uncle Sans army. There
was strong talk of their having to
stay in camp till October, the
camping was poor, the camp equip
age none at all, and the boys told
Col. Stevens they would come
home and wait until he got ready
for active service, when they would
return at their own expense. If
they had waited until they enlist
ed in the regular army, coming
home would not have been so easy,
and it is probable that these boys
will find their places all filled when
they return, and that this is the
end Of their military career.

The national guardsmen of Lou.
isiana are protesting against the
manner in which they are being
treated by Gov. Murphy J. Eos.
ter, 1t seems that the governor
desires to use the line officers po-
sitions to promote his individual
political career rather than to pro-
mote the good of the army. He
has absolutely refused to give the
officers of the State national guard
and show whatever in the appoint
ments that he is making. It seems
that all those whom the governor
is to give positions as line officers
are politicians.
There is deep regret among the
national guardsmen that they as
sisted in counting Murphy j. Fos-
ter into office when he was not re-
ally elected. Now that they need
him he has gone completely back
on them. They remember Natchi-
toches and st. John and gnash their
teeth. Daily Item.

DIED. {:

At 6 o'clock a. m. Sunday, May
1st, 1898, j. FRED HUBLEY; aged
% years, l month and Is days.
Deceased was eldest son and
main support of a widowed moth
er, Mrs. Josephine Hubley, and
a large family of younger brothers
and sisters. He was a favorite in
his large circle of relatives, and
had many other friends who join
in deploring his untimely end.
Like his father, he was q printer
by trade, having been engaged in
the Office Of the Natchitoches En-
terprise for more than two Years
past, and having worked on this
paper prior to that, also for this
editor on the Comrade at VIM
field, in 1899.
He was a faithful, Industrious
employe, and q quiet, peaceable
young man, liked by all who knew
him, and we daresay the author Of
the foul deed which ended his USE
ful life would acknowledge his
worth and amiability, and the
Nervousness Of the wrong which
he can never make right.
May the great Giver of all good,
comfort the bereayed family in
this dark hour of their affliction.

| One of the most unfortunate OF
the many sad occurrences happen
ing in that community was the
killing Of j. Fred Hubley near
Spanish Lake, on last Saturday
night and Sunday morning. A
little scuffle and a slight cash or
two from Billy Axley at a groce-
ry, was settled peaceably as men
drinking can do with so much
ease, and the two young men went
to their respective homes for the
night, travelling part of the way
together. Shortly afterward and
about midnight, Axley returned to
where Hubley had stopped and
called for a coat loaned Hubley,
which he carried to the gate where
he was stabbed by Axley as he
took the coat, from the effects of
which he died in about 6 hours,
A surgeon near by might have
saved his life, but the nearest we're
