ORDER OF JUDGE BAKER
STEP IN THE TELEPHONE WAR NOW
ON AT EVANSVILLE.
Cumberland Telephone and TeIegr aph
Company Demands Protection
Other Cases in the Courts.

A temporary restraining order was issued
by Judge John II. Baker in Federal Court
yesterday enjoining the city of Evansville
from in any way interfering with the rights
and privileges of the Cumberland Telephone
and Telegraph Company The hearing in
the case will be at Evansville on the first
Monday in April, 1903. The Cumberland
Telephone and Telegraph Company. is a
Kentucky corporation. 1t owns and con-
trolls S25 telephone exchanges in seven diff
ferent States and claims to have an ar
rangement with other companies for max
ing connections. which service could not be
duplicated short of a fabulous sum.
The Evansville Telephone Exchange, or
ganized in 1852 for the purpose of conduct
ing telephone business in Evansville, and
which was granted a perpetual franchise,
Ii is alleged, on Dec. 2S, 1882, was pur-
chased by The Cumberland Company for
1915. 900. The Legislature in 1886 enacted a
law regulating telephone rates so they
would not exceed s. a month, and the city
of Evansville notified the company that It
must furnish telephone service to GUS
toners at those rates or the franchise
would be declared void. In 1887, it is
claimed, an ordinance was passed by the
Evansville City Council making the fran
chise of the Cumberland Company in
Evansville valid for only fifteen years, but
the company claims the ordinance of 1882
granting a perpetual franchise is still valid.
In August of 1902 the Evansville CITY
Council passed an ordinance repeating the
right of the telephone company TO the
streets. etc. snd notified the company that
il must relinquish its rights on Dec. IL, 1902.
The temporary injunction will prevent the
city from repeating the company's rights
until the case can be finally settled.
The city of Evansville has raised nearly
$125OOO of a 10000 fund that is to be used
in the establishment of municipal tele-
phone plant.

Cannot Recover DAMAGES.

Damages cannot be recovered for the
death of William A. Francis, a freight
brakeman on the Monon, who was killed
by being knocked from his train by the
wagon bridge over the Monon Railway
track at Putnamville. The court held that
since nineteen men had been killed by the
bridge Francis assumed the risk and the
company is not liable in case he failed to
lie down until his train had passed I'M
der. The attorneys for the appellant COM
planned that the bridge had killed an aver
age of one man year since il was built
but that the railroad company has refused
to build a new bridge because it found it
cheaper to defeat suits for damages than
to build a new bridge.
