NEW COMPANY IS IN THE
BIG TELEPHONE MERGER
Purpose Is to Bring Independent
Organizations Throughout the
Country Together.

The movement which has been launched
at the meeting of the Independent Tele-
phone Association in Chicago looking to
the merging Of all the telephone companies
affiliated with the association has attracted
general interest among the telephone COM
panies of the country. 1t is not believed,
however, that the merger pertains to the
formation of one large company, but SIM
ply seeks to bring the companies affiliated
with the Independent Telephone Associa-
ton into closer relationship with each other
for the perfecting of their long distance
telephone service.
The New Telephone Company is the only
company of Indianapolis that is affiliated
with the association. Simon p. Sheerin,
manager of the company, said yesterday
that he did not know the facts Of the plan,
but that as he understood Ii the association
wants to bring the companies closer to-
gether in order to better their systems.
Such a movement" said Mr.. Sheerin, II
do not think aims at the transfer of any
property or the bringing into play of any
money, but has in view rather a community
of interests in order to obtain better serv-
ice. Although the corporation would en-
brace millions of dollars worth of prop
erty as a whole, think the respective COM
panies will operate separately, as they are
doing at the present time" i

ROME, Dec. 1o.-One OF the strangest
Of crimes had most dramatic solution

RUSSIA is NOT TRYING
TO INT|MIDATE KOREA
Denial of the Report that Squad
ron of Ships Has Arrived at
Chemulpo.
NO REPLY YET TO JAPAN

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 1O.-The dis
patch from Toxic yesterday announcing
that Russian squadron of eight ships had
arrived off Chemulpo Korea, to support
Russia's opposition 10 the proposed opening
OF Yongampho, on the Yalu river, to the
commerce of the world, and that Russia
threatened to land 1900 men and march on
Seoul should Korea disregard their warning.
is utterly discredited here. The Foreign Of
flee has no confirmation of the report. and
is inclined to class it with other sensational
rumors from the far East, which later have
proved to be baseess. In the first place IL
is denied that NJ. Pauloff, the Russian min
lister at Seoul has served a warning OH
Korea. According to the latest Informal
ton received here he asked whether and on
what condition Yongampho would be
opened and Korea returned an evasive re-
ply. Then it is not likely that Admiral
Alexieff. the Russian viceroy of the far
East, Notwithstanding the great powers
with which he is clothed, would take such
serious step without consultation with the
st. Petersburg authorities. The report is
equally 6iscredited in diplomatic circles,
where il is pointed out that such a move
at this stage by infiaming Japanese senti-
ment, might force what both powers are
anxious to avoid.
No word has yet been received from
Baron De Rosen, the Russian minister to
Japan. or Admiral Alexieff. who are ex-
changing views on the notifications, but 1t
Is expected that this will not require more
than a few days When the formal reply is
sent 10 Japan 1t may be that Baron De
Rosen and Admiral Alexieff will decide not
to sumbit matters informally to the Japan
csc negotiators.
The tone Of the papers here continues pa
cific, the Novoe Vremya saying that In spite
settlement will be reached which will not
hurt the Japanese pride"
