 The Brooklyn Improvement committee meets tonight and there will undoubtedly be something doing. The subcommittee which has been holding conferences with the Busi- ness Mems association and the troll ley officials, will make it's reports, and the trolley situation will be thor oughly discussed The company has stated to the subcommittee that un- less something is done before the city takes an appeal it will be all of with the proposed line on Town Plot. They said that if it once goes to the court. whether they win or lose, they will give the Brooklyn and Town Plot people no consideration. In re- gard to the article which was printed in one of the dailies on Saturday giv- ing the interview between Hans Ras- mussen and A. w. Paige, both parties feel very much aggrieved. Although the talk over the phone did not take place until ? o'clock and Hans did not leave his house until after the papers were printed, still he saw his interview in the paper that night, and he nearly tainted. Some one had been listening and got the gist of the conversation. As Rasmussen's 'pnone is on party line he suspects that he knows who is the guilty party. The tapping of telephone wires is covered under the general statutes as follows: Section 1,240 in chapter S4 of the general statutes says: Every person who shall make connection by wire, or otherwise, with any telegraph or telephone wire not owned or leased by him. for the purpose of obtaining information or listening to the transmission of tele- graphic dispatches or telephone mes sage. shall be fined not more than $500" The editor of the daily was notified and he promised that an in- vestigation would be made. He said he was much against getting news in such an illegitimate manner. Hans says it is downright shame and as soon as he had complete proof he has the assurance of the telephone company that the wire tapper will be prosecuted.
