EXTORTION BY
PHONE TRUST.
Enormous Profits Wrung From the Public b
Monopoy-The Pay Stations Are Gold
Mine to the Company.
Mine to the Company.

Wednesdays New York Journal has
the following in regard to the New
York Telephone Company, which is the
same as the Bell Telephone Company:
Since the publication in the Journal
on Monday morning of facts concern
Ing the poor service and exorbitant
charges of the Ncto York Telephone Conn
pdny, this office has been deluged with
letters of appreciation.
In every one of the letters the de-
mand OF the Journal for scent tele-
phone calls and courteous, efficient SER
Vice has been enthusiastically Endorsed.
These letters are signed by business
men who have writhed under the
strangle hold of the telephone mono
poly for score of years, and they are
indicative of q sentiment that is bound
to crystalline ere long into n movement
to do away with the telephone mono
poly and secure for New York City a
telephone service that is at least re-
moved from a farce.
ENORMOUS PROFITS OF THE
MONOPOLY.
Some facts in relation to the enor-
nous profits of the New York Tele-
phone Company will doubtless be of in
terest to the victims of the monopoly
They are printed here for the first
when it is said they are astonishing.
THE ORIGINAL CAPITAL OF THE
NEW YORK TELEPHONE COM
PANY WAS S240, 900. OF WHICH $17O.-
600 REPRESENTED CASH ACTUAL
rLY PAID IN. BY THE REINVEST-
MENT OF SURPLUS EARNINGS,
AFTER PAYING 12 TO is PER CENT.
DIVIDENDS. THIS CAPITAL HAS
BEEN INCREASED TO $3S, Oo0. 900,
MAKING IT THE MOST POWERFUL
BRANCH OF THE AMERICAN
TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH
COMPANY OF THE TELEPHONE
TRUST.
Three years ago the New York Tele-
phone Company and it's associate. the
New York and New Jersey Telephone
Company. operating in Brooklyn, had n
combined capital of sl2,O0O.OOO which
has since then been increased or more
properly. "watered" up to the present
Capitalization of s3S.000.0 900. without the
payment of n single dollar of new capi-
tai.
Now comes few lines to show what
the profit OF the New York Telephone
Company is.
IS PER CENT. ON wATERED CAP
ITAL.
The manager of the monopoly has
testified before an investigating conf
mittee of the Senate that their tele-
phone service averaged Sli6.5O. 1t
would be to say that this man was
foolish were the assertion made that
this was not the least figure 1t was
possible for him to place upon the net
earnings of his company. Taking this
as basis, some figuring can he done

COMPUTE THAT THE ANNUAL.

"At the White Horse Tavern" Was
Well Received.

wei
There is not a great deal to "At the
White Horse Tavern" tho comedy which
was presented at Sweeney & Coombs'
theater last night, but the most OF that
is good. There are many points of merit
in the piece and these appear to be all
the more prominent when one considers
the fact that the comedy is an adaptation
from the German, where one expects 1T
tie that is not phlegmatic and heavy. The
story is a simple one. there is no at
