New Telephone Companies viii Not
Consolidate The Reasons

All the negotiations, between Messrs,
Waterbury and Jones tending to the
consolidation Of the two new telephone
companies which have applied to the
Salt Lake City Council for franchises
are at an end. For several weeks over
lures have been made for the purpose
Of effecting a consolidation Of interests
which would have enabled new tele-
phone company to obtain better fran
chlse than Is now possible with three
cornered war on The committee OF
the City Council Is said TO have recon-
mended the parties representing the
Mutual and the Utah Home companies
to get together and come 10 some agree
ment whereby only one company would
be In the field
As consequence OF this Messrs.
Waterbury and Jones went over the
situation together and when seen today
the gentlemen expressed their views on
what was done.
II made overtures to Mr. Jones as
representative Of the Mutual company
said Mr. A. l.. Waterbury, TO erect a
consolidation Of the two companies, as
| know what a fight will cost and thal
a very favorable franchise cannot be
secured II several interests are trying
for II. Mr. Jones accepted my terms
went TO Chicago at my expense TO see
Mr.. Hammer and telegraphed me
that everything was agreeable
and that my terms were accepted. MT
Jones returned 20 Salt Lake and con
armed his telegram. Contracts were
drawn No, but before they were signed
Hammer telegraphed Jones not TO a.
ANYTHING until he came here. tn
terms agreed upon were gone back or
"a Hammer. Jones said that II
would ix up his expenses to Omaha
he thought he could fix It, J did that
and nothing came Of 1t except an offer
nom Hammer that II would pay him
$4,000 he would leave the city and
franchise to me. This | refused, and
think that they, neither Jones nor
Hammer, acted in good faith, Ham
mrr became acquainted with our plans
Ia give Salt Lake an independent tele-
rhone system I'm Chicago before
same out here. and got Jones to try to
obtain q franchise, thinking that he
could sell It to us later and clear o
few thousand dollars. The fight Is now
IN. and our offices will be opened Mon
day. and solicitors put into the field
me people udthlhs NV own NNNi oiNF'
miles of telephone systems, and | can
give the people Of Salt Lake an alb.
solute guarantee OF our good faith and
proofs OF our past success and repu
tation. Neither Jones nor Hammer
was ever connected with a telephone
company before, and know nothing OF
the business"
Elmer Il. Jones and Mr. Hammer OF
the Utah Home Telephone company
were seen. They denied Mr.. Water
burys statements In this mornings
papers, and blame him for lack OF
good faith in the recent proceedings.
Mr.. Jones raid. I'VE shall petition the
City Council for a franchise and will
make the most favorable terms. We
will have the wires In the paved dis
trict placed underground; this will in
volye an expenditure of an additional

The Supreme court today reversed
the Judgment of the district court in
convictlng Dr. Cornelius Snowden Of
adultery. DR.. Snowden will there
fore have q new trial He was found
guilty by a jury last spring and was
sentenced by Judge Norrell to three
years imprisonment in the State
prison.

IN Richtleid
The opinion Of the Supreme court Is
written by District Judge Hart, acting
for Justice Miner, justices Bartch and
Baskin concurrlng, The court does
not pass on the guilt or innocence OF
the defendant, but rules that
there was error In the admission OF tes-
tlmony, which precluded an impartial
trial. The error refers chiefly to the
acts introduced In the testimony by the
State which were committed by the
defendant on other dates than those
mentioned In the information.
At his former trial. Snowden was
defended by Attorney Lessenger OF
ogden.
Judge Hall this morning made a
setting OF 20 equity cases, ranging from
