The apparent lull In the fight for the

When Robert Hannah married Nellie,
the pretty daughter Of James Burns. a
few years ago, all predicted a happy life
for Mr.. and Mrs. Hannah. That they
have not lived happily of late is indicated
by reports made at the Chaffee street
police station. Mrs Hannah called there
a few days ago and said her husband had
not only struck her but had Jumped upon
her after he had knocked her down. The
story was investigated by Capt. Marston
and he found sufficient evidence TO cause
a warrant sworn out for the arrest of
Hannah. Last evening Hannah called at
the station, not thinking he was wanted,
though he was aware that the trials and
tribuations of the Hannah family had
woe to Lieut. Tyler. who has no use for
a wife beater. After Hannah had related
how badly he had been abused by the
Burns family. and was about TO take his
departure, he was told that he would
see TO IL that none OF the Burns family
would annoy or ill-treat him for a few
hours at least. Then the door man was
handed the keys OF the cell room and
Hannah was locked up on q charge OF
non-support. The Hannahs and the Burns
families live under the one roof I'm the
rear OF 2lI valley street.
BOMBARDED THE OFFICERS.
Last Monday evening Sergt. Bennett
and Patrolman Finnegan were called into

TELEPHONE FACTS
NO. I
A HOME ENTERPRISE

The Providence Telephone Company in this
and following articles proposes to state briefly the
facts in regard 10 its capitalization, its plant and
equipment and the kind of service which it is Civ
ing. These facts will be given in justice both to the
company and to the public. The company believes
that, having the facts, its patrons and the public
generally will not be deceived by the many false
statements which have recently been put in crcula-
ton concerning the telephone service in this State
and the corporation by which it is supplied.
The Providence Telephone Company is home
company. 1t organized under the laws OF
Rhode Island in 1880 and it is and always has been
controlled by Rhode Island capital majority of
its stock being owned by people of this State state
ments to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The original capitalization of the Providence
Telephone Company $4,000 Since then
stock has been sold from time to time the proceeds
being used for extensions and improvements of the
plant in order to meet the demands of a rapidly
growing business. The present capitalization of
the company is 100000, and this has all been
paid for in cash
This large investment is all represented by
actual, valuable, visible property. There is not
drop Of water in the stock of the company and no
patent rights franchises represented in its
capitalization. The company pays dividends
this 100000 at the rate of eight per cent year
and this is all it has paid for more than ten years.
The money of Rhode Island people has been invest
ed dollar for dollar in telephone lines and equip
ment and the money thus used has yielded fair
return TO the investors
In other words, the Providence Telephone
Company is a home concern, conservatively cap
italized and earning fair return upon the money
which has been actually invested in its plant and
which has come mainly from Rhode Island people.

Coombs pitched one Of the strongest
games ever seen in this city. five times

The pitching OF Harris oqualed that of
Coombs for twenty three innings, but in
the last inning he weakened, after the
Athletics had scored. and was hit for two
three-baggers.
The fielding was necessarily excellent,
but the fielding OF Parent and Grimshaw

malned. no games could have been
played. When asked II he could rea
sonably impose fines under these circum-
stances, President Shepard said: do you
think IL makes for the well-being OF
league to have one of the teams give out
reports to the press that IL Is going
away to Idaho, when, according TO sched-
ule, IL should be in Salt Lake City 10
play? The place for the Tailors is here"
The fortunate storm-that Is for the
Tailors-does not in the least Increase
or lessen the offense OF the Tailors in the
eyes of President Shepard. While he
will say nothing at this time, IL is we'll
known that he Will force the issue and
impose the fine on tho Tailors- Prcsi-
dent Shepard declares the Bells are in
the league and that the Tailors helped
vote them In. Manager Margetts says
the Bells have not yet put UP their de-
posit and that they are not In the
league President Shepard says no de-
posit was called for, only a guarantee
Of the expenses of the visiting teams,
This is the situation that is TO be
thrashed out and may prove the finale
OF the league.
