CHARGES.TO HELLO
Decision of Judge TuIey at Chi
cago Is Against the Phone
Corporation.
PRICES ARE NOT TO BE INCREASED
After Once Being Fixed by City Ordi-
nance, Regardless of the
Improvements,

Chicago, Jan. S.-Judge Tuley hand
ed down his decision yesterday morn
ing in the case brought by the Illinois
Manufacturing association against the
Chicago Telephone company, holding
that the latter had no right to charge
more than $125 Il year for its phone
service. The contention of the COM
pany that it was entitled to charge
more on account of Its improved serv-
ice was brushed aside. Neither the
city nor. subscribers are held to be es-
topped by reason of acquiescence or
the signing of contracts, from recover
ing the amounts overpaid. 1t is held
that the company used force in secur-
ing the higher rate and the subscribers
were not free agents.
Temporary Injunction Ordered.
The decision holds that a telephone
company is in the same position as a
street car corporation, and that when
Il rate for fares or telephone service
is fixed by law it cannot be altered.
The claim of the company that the or
dinance was in the nature Of con-
tract is met by decisions of the SUI
preme court of this state holding that
such an exercise of municipal power
is an act of sovereignty. The court
ordered n temporary injunction TO be
prepared and entered it today. An ap-
peal will be taken to the supreme
court. which viii stay the effect of the
decision.
Defines the Word "TelephOne."
One of the most interesting points
brought out is the definition of the
word telephone" The court holds
that the service cannot be divided into
separate items and charges made for
each. He holds with the courts of In
diana. that the telephone constitutes
Il general term. having reference to
the art of telephony as an institution,
but more particularly to the apparatus
as an entirety. ordinarily used in the
transmission. as we'll as in the recep-
ton Of messages" and that the prop
er meaning of the word is an original
apparatus. an institution and not a
single instrument.
