TELEPHONE
DEALS.
Whitney=Elkins Syndicate
is After the Local COM
panies.

The Whitney -Elkins telephone
syndicate is after the charters of
the Delaware and Atlantic Tele-
graph and Telephone Company and
the Delaware Telephone Company.
This was. the information given out
by several stockholders OF the Della
ware Company this morning. Rep
rescntativcs of the big syndicate
have been in this city and it is said
that the only matter now between
the stockholders and the syndicate
is the price to be paid for the fran
chiscs.
The Delaware Company will be
perhaps the first to sell out. The
deal will be made here, but that
which will place the old company
into new hands will be engineered
in Philadelphia, the principal Of
flee of the company. 1t is said that
the Delaware Company asks
$1,000. 600 for It's charter.
As soon as the big syndicate alb.
serbs the Delaware Company, the
first move the syndicate will make
will be to absorb the Diamond
State Telephone Company, now do
ing business throughout the State.
This is to be followed by the secur-
ing Of control OF a number of other i.
independent exchanges in various
cities and connecting the different
cities by long distance service.
Representatives OF the Delaware
company this morning refused to
say anything about the deal, but
intimated that change in the own.
crship of the concern would be made
shortly.

DESIRES A
CONFERENCE.
Attorney for White & Co.,
Wants to See Whining
ton Law Concerning
Bond Issues.

There has as yet, been no move
ment on the part oil White g. Com
pany, to settle the trouble growing
out of their refusal to take the
s24, 200 in Wilmington bonds recent
ly purchased by them, but it is
probable that the matter will be
settled some time next month.
When City Solicitor Conrad in
formed the New York Company that
City Council had instructed him to
enter suit ag ainst them for non-per.
lformanec of contract. a correspon-
denee starfed between the Cons.
,pangslawver, and Mr.. Conrad. By
ithiseSrtespondcnee tho New york
Comp - succeeded in staying the
legal Booeedi1g which was abdul
to be Bgfitnred against them. bft
not until this morning was it known
what the nature of the correspon-
dence was. According to the state
ment of one interested in city finan-
ces and particularly interested in
the White trouble, 1t was learned
that White g. Company desire to
have conference with City Solici-
tor Conrad before he brings the
suit. AT this conference the New
York attorney will ask that he be
more fully advised of the law limit
ing the debt of the city of Whining
ton. The company contend that
they refused to take the bonds be.
cause they believed the city was
acting illeg ally in issuing them.
But City Solicitor Conrad. the f.
nance committee of Council and the
Sinking Fund Commissioners are
satisfied that they can prove to the
New York bankers that the bonds
are legal and if they then refuse to
carry out their part of the contract
the suit will be instituted.
The conference will probably be
el next week.
