PIONEER
COMP ANY
Santa Fe Had the First |ndepend-
ent Telephone System In the
United States.
READY FOR BUSINESS
Had Poles and Wires all up When the
Bell Fundamental Patent
Expired:

Santa Fe boasts of an excellent
telephone system.
The plant of the Santa Fe Electric
Telephone company is installed in a
modern exchange building of brick.
located Oh Sparks avenue, away from
the noise of the business center of the
Capital City. The capacity of the
switchboard is 200, and 148 hello in
strumen.ts from the business houses,
territorial offices hotels and residen-
ces are connected with it. Two-thirds
OF the phones in use are business
phones, and the balance residential.
The local company was. the first
company to operate in competition to
the Bell Telephone company On
May Is, 1894, at the time of the expi-
ration of the fundamental patent OF
the Bell Telephone company, Manager
Sparks had his poles and wires all up,
and was ready for business, as soon
as the instruments could be installed.
The telephone boxes used by the
company are the product of the West
ern Telephone Construction company
of Cleveland Ohio, and the first
phone, No. /, turned out by that COM
pany, was subsequently installed in
Santa Fe.
The headquarters of the telephone
exchange is four room building. On
entering one is ushered into the man.
ager's Office Directly in the rear is
the general supply room, and to the
right of the managers office the oper-
atDr's room with the switchboard,
with a sleeping room for the night op-
orator in the rear.
The first order placed by the COM
pany, at the time the system was in
stalled was for GU phones, and that
number has steadily increased, until
today 148 are in use in the city. Eight
moro phones were ordered and sub
scribed during the month of Septem-
ber, and will be installed as soon as
a consignment of dozen wall phones
and two desk instruments reach here.
The rates charged by the local COM
pany are within the reach of all, and
the subscribers are not bothered with
party line service, or two telephone
companies, which condition of affairs
prevail in other cities. Miss Lulu
North presides at the switchboard
during the day and George Marsh is
on the night trick He remains at the
switchboard until II o'clock, and then
retires, setting the alarm for emer-
gency calls during the night.
General Manager Sparks expects in
the near future to install central en-
ergy system, device Of his own, that
will not incur the expense of install
ing new switchboard. The central
energy system will do away with ring
ing off, as the hanging up of the re-
ceiver will signal Central that the
line is no longer in use.

SANTA FE'S
WATER RATES
Those in the Capital City Are
Much Less Than in Other
Towns Of Territory.
NTPROBLEM
The Rate Here Is the Same With From
rs to so Per Cent Less in
Number.

The existing rates of the Santa Fe
Water and Light company for water.
for hydrants, homes and irrigation
purposes are as low, and in some in
stances cheaper than those in the 9TH
er three principal cities of the Terri
tory-Albuquerque Ration and Las
Vegas. In discussing the proposition,
General Manager w. H. Friedman
said:
"The rate for fire hydrants in Santa
Fe is $50 per hydrant. While this is
the same rate that is had in Albuquer-
que, Ration and Las Vegas, those cities
of the Territory have from twenty-five
to fifty per cent more hydrants than
are in use in the Capital City For
instance, Albuquerque has 1O6; Ration
54 Las Vegas 65, while Santa Fe has
but 40. The more fire hydrants used,
naturally the cheaper they can be sup
Piled as 100 can be maintained just
as cheap as 49, therefore the fire hy-
drant rate is per cent cheaper
in Santa Fe than at Albuquerque, and
from 20 to 25 per cent cheaper than
at Ration or Las Vegas.
For irrigating lawns, gardens and
lots, the rate at Ration is 25 cents Iscr

VERDICT HAD
JURYPUZZLED
Much Difference Of Opinion in Rail-
way Appropriation
Case.
Land OWNER FINALLY GOT DAMAGES

The jury in the appropriation. case
of the Canton-New Philadelphia rail-
way company against William Allen,
to secure one and one-fourth acres OF
land for right-of-way, had q great
time reaching verdict Wednesday.
The Jury retired about 10 o'clock In
the forenoon and struggled until
nearly three. A short recess was taxi
en- while Juror Stires told the grand
jury what he knew about crimes COM
mitted In Paris township. About 3
O'Clock the Jury announced that they
had reached a conclusion and the
court and interested parties were
summoned to hear 1t. While the au-
dience gathered some Of the jurors
began to question the agreement that
had been reached, and everybody was
asked TO retire until an understanding
could be arrived at. The court room
was cleared and there was another
conference of half hour. when the
Jury come forth smiling and conf
dent. The verdict was ready and like
the laws of certain old rulers, could
not be changed.
The verdict was that the street rail-
way company was to pay Allen $1,l0O,
divided up for land, damage and
buildings. A value of $1S5 was placed
upon the buildings. The jury began
to scatter out, and the question was
raised as to whether or not Allen got
the buildings under the verdict. This
point was a little vague. Some of the
Jurors thought one way. and some an
other. 1t was eohtended that II the
company kept the buildings, 1t would
have to pay $1S5 additional. The
greater number of the Jurors, how
ever, did not see It that way. Some
had left the court house, and imme-
diately the court bailiff was sent out
to round them up. Some of the jur-
ors volunteered to aid In the work.
and after skirmish of 20 minutes the
gang was gotten together and the
members Of the jury finally agreed
that the total remuneration was to be
81, 100.
The agreement finally reached was
that the company was to pay $475 for
the land taken, $440 for the damage
to the residue of the tract and S1S5 for
the buildings, but IL Allen decided to
keen the buildings himself. then the
verdict was 20 be for 1915.
Attorney Welty represented the
company and Attorney Eggert appear
ed for Allen.

SEVEN DIE
IN A WRECK
Collision Near Pittsburg Has Disast-
rous ResuIts--fiVe are
Injured.
FLAMES TORTURED The Dying.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. S.-As result
of a collision between passenger
train and the rear end Of a freight
train on the .Monongahela division of
the Pennsylvania railroad last night
at Cochrane station, just above De-
quesne, seven men are dead. one Is
dying and five others injured.
The dead are:
C. e. Stroud. baggage master, Eliza
beth accommodation. Homewcod.
C. M. Boehner, brakeman OF accom-
modation, Pittsburg.
John Stewart, passenger. resides
unknown.
Two unknown foreigners. killed
outright.
Two unknown foreigners died on
the way to the hospital.
The injured are: T. ID. Cook. con-
ductor accommodation, will probably
die before morning; Sam Sullanofsky,
shoulder blade fractured; Peter Kim
oski, burned; John Smith. seriously
injured; Mike Chonick. slightly injur-
ed: Mike Gentill, slightly injured.
The passenger train in the wreck
was the West Elizabeth accommoda-
tion WHICH left Pittsburg at 1920 p.
m. 1t was on time and had clear
track. according to the signals dis
played At the siding at Cochrane 1t
ran into the rear of an extra freight
which had taken the switch but failed
TO clear the main line. The officials
Of the road attribute the disaster to
the failure of Patrick Quinn. the rear
brakeman of the freight, to see that
his train had cleared. Up to IL
O'Clock Quinn has not been found.
When the passenger train came
along the caboose of the freight train
overlapped the main track enough to
catch the tender of the passenger en-
gine, which was forced back upon the
combination baggage and smoking car
with terrible force. The thiiteen
passengers were jammed against the
rear end of the rear car into almost
a solid mass. Three of the victims
were apparently killed outright. Two
of the other four were literarlly roast
ed to death and the two who died on
the way to the hospital were so bau-
ly burned that recognition is impossi-
BILE
Almost Immediately after the i'm
pact, fire from the stove in the smok-
er communicated to the wreckage
and the imprisoned victims were tor
turcd beyond description. All Of the
victims were badly burned Conductor
Cook was found unconscious under
tho charred body of Baggagemaster
Stroud. He Is so badly hurt that he
can hardly live the night through.
Strange to say not a truck except
the tender left the track, the passen-
gers In the coaches being thus pro-
tected from harm. No one outside OF
the smoker was injured, and the
tracks were cleared within a short
while, after the accident.

TOWN DIVIDED BY
SMAL LPOX CONTROVERSY
Doctors Disagreement Is the
Cause of a Fued Among Am
sterd a m Citizrns.

There Is a smallpox scare and con-
troversy at Amsterdam, little town
along the Lake Erie, Alliance &
Wheeling railroad, just In the edge of
Jefferson county The town has been
given new lease Of life by the ex-
tension of the railway and the open
ing up Of extensive coal mines.
A case was discovered that looked
like smallpox. One of the old doctors
said 1t was not that disease, a younger
doctor insisted that 1t was a genuine
case of smallpox. The town divided
on the controversy and a regular feud
was stirred up, which resulted in sew
eral personal encounters. The state
board of health finally sent doctor
to the scene, and still some of the
townspeople would not accept his
statement that the case was one of
smallpox. 1t Is stated, however, that
those who deny the existence of the
disease keep away from the vicinity
of the quarantined house where the
patient lies.

.PENNSYL LvANlA PLANS
FOR SIX-TRACK LINE.

Philadelphia, Jan. 8.-Plans great
er by far than any of the kind ever
before conceived have been approved
by President Cassatt for the develop
ment and extension Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. With his chief ad-
visers he is preparing fully the de-
mands upon its transportation facili-
ties and to prepare against the prob
able future requirements.
The financial scheme to empower
the management to raise upward OF
$500 100000 new capital. as needed. Is
necessary preliminary step to the
carrying out of the plans President
Cassatt has in mind. Among the
greatest undertakings proposed is the
six-tracking of the line between Phil
adelphia and New York. This alone
will cost $10.000.000. The main line
will also probably be six-tracked as
far as Lancaster
In making the plans President Cas-
satt has known and appreciated what
the Pennsylvania railroad must do to
hold It's own. He knows that II the
Pennsylvania railroad could haul to
market the bituminous coal as fast as
1t could be mined the present fuel
famine would not exist and soft coal
would be selling at not over 1925 a
ton. Further, he realizes that IL the
Pennsylvania railroad does not meet
he demands upon 1t for transportation,
another railroad is certain to be- huilt
to claim its share of business

here from Dresden say it is reported
there that the crown princess Of Sax
ony, who last month eloped with M.
Giron, the French tutor, TO her chill
dren, has begun to show signs of re-

M. Giron, it is said, fearing he will

hope she will enter a convent, but
this Is not at all likely.
Sensational developments are ex-

She swears she will kill 1t, rather
than allow it to go where she was
so unhappy. She will swear with Gil

They are demoralizing," said one
of the speakers of the South-side club
at last nights meeting, ''and well
ordered home. mindful of its moral
