TELEPHONE COMPETITION.
Michigan Company Sells Out to the
Bell.

The Hon. Clarence Hale yesterday re-
ceivcd the following telegram:
Detroit, January 1.-THE Detroit Tel
ephone company which was the star
competing telephone company was sold
out yesterday to the Michigan Telephone
company which is the licensee of the
Bell Telephone company. The Detroit
company has been competing against the
old company for over four years. Presi-
dent Flower of the Detroit company in
commenting on the sale says:
After tour years of struggle stock
holders in the Detroit Telephone compa-
ny seem to have been willing to sell. We
have never made any money; we have
never declared but one dividend and that
SO small that would not want to say
anything about it, Consolidation has
got to be the result in every case where
there are competing companies. People
do not want to be bothered with two tel
ephones."
The Detroit Journal says:
However beautiful it may be in theo-
~ competition in the telephone business
10 not satisfactory either to the stock
holders of rival companies or their pat
rcns. Whatever is gained by decrease In
rentals Is more than compensated for by
the inconvenience of two systems and the
necessity of patronizing both ex-
changes"
The Detroit company has always been
considered as the most successful COM
peting telephone company in this coun-
try.

THEY had NARROW ESCAPES.

Two women were driving up Pearl
street yesterday afternoon shortly before
8 O'Clock and in turning into Congress
street the sleigh runners caught In the
car tracks and threw the occupants Of the
sleigh out. The horse became frightened
and took to the sidewalk on the northerly
side OF Congress street In front OF the
Second Parish church. The side walk was
crowded With women and children at the
time and there was some lively scatter
ing. Some Of thu women took refuge In
the nsarly stores and one Of them came
within an ace Of being knocked down BY
the frightened horse. Near the corner OF
Myrtle street the horse took to the street
again and then made dash across tho
sidewalk In front Of CITY Hall where
several other peopls had narrow escapes.
The animal attempted to climb up the
side OF the City building, but gave the
attempt up and laid down with his body
over the curbing about the edge Of the
sidewalk, Here william Matthias jumped
on his neck and held him while the
sleigh was unhitohed and taken awny.

The Japanese laborers have final
ly entered proceedings in our court
to recover the money which is un-
doubtedly due to them from the
immigration Companies. The
money demanded is the sum held
back from their wages to provide
necessary funds with which to pay
their return passage to japan. 1t
was according to their contracts
and so far legitimate. Now the
contracts are cancelled and the men
are not compelled to leave the Ha-
waian territory. The deposit is the
result OF their labor and as free men
they demand the moneys which were
held back of their wages while they
were contract laborers. To a lay
man there seems only one conclusion
to be arrived at and that is that the
companies must refund the money
to the laborers.
