APPLAUSE FOR A PRAYER RUG.
SMALL AND'ANCIENT 1T WAS, BUT
1T BRINGS So, 200.

Mumford Collection OF Oriental Textiles
Sold for o. ,OOO-The Top Price,
So 800, Paid for Persian Carpct-Timld
Women Bidders Amuse the Crowd.
. When the little SOO-year-old prayer rug
with a red centre was put on the screen
yesterday at the last sale of the Mumford
collection Of Oriental textiles at the Fifth
Avenue Art Galleries applause like that
given a famous painting at an art sale
came from the big crowd OF experts, COL
lectors and dealers that filled the main
gallery and spilled out into the smaller
rooms beyond and there was a murmur OF
disappointment when this prize piece OF
the sale was captured by a Chicago firm
for. 50 200. Very recently, Mr.. Mumfcrd
said after the sale, an offer Of many thou
sands of dollars more had been made for it.
The sales for the day ran up to s52 1928 so,
which makes q total for the three days OF
SIP 1852. rs. Charles j. Smith paid 5 $500,
the highest price OF the sale, for a Persian
silk carpet IA feet 10 inches by IL feet 1
inch, in which the balance and regularity
Of the pattern-the ulti mate test with
students of old Persian d~esign-are very
perfect. The whole textile had the silver
tone of a Co rot landscape, and in this
differs from most of the rugs sold, which
run as a rule, to what the painter folk call
golden tone"
An anonymous buyer from out of town
paid SO eco for the largest fabric sold, a
khorassan carpet 30 by 20 feet, a Durber
fabric of northern India, which revealed
a splendid display Of massed blues and reds,
with floral designs and higher lights in the
border. A rure Persian silk curtain went
to William Bond for s1,40o, and a peculiar
Turkoman band, 40 feet long. by only 1901
wide, with a striking design IN browns
on a white ground, was bought by E. Perkins
for slS6.

LAY EXPL0SI oNS TO GASOLINE
Not Much Doubt That the Stun Gets From
Garages Into the Sewers.

Inspectors from the Bureau OF Com
bustibles nave beer making an investi-
CATION Of the sewer explosions on the West
Side. 1t was said yesterday that the cause
OF the explosions was undoubtedly gaso-
lene which escaped from garages.
One Of the inspectors y~estsrday entered
q garage on Broadway ca Tfty-si xth
street while the storage tank was being
filed with gasolene. The hydraulic system
was used in the work Of storing the tank,
and the water was discharged into the
sewer.
The inspector went into a closet where
there was a sewer vent. There was a strong
odor Of gasolene coming from the sewer,
and the inspector was Of the opinion that
the stuff got into the sewer through the
water used in the hydraulic system,
He suggested to the manager OF the
garage that the method Of filing the tank
be changed so that none Of the stuff shall
get into the sewer.
The Municipal Explosives Commission
will likely take some action ct it's next
meeting to rogul2.S he storage of gasolene.

The Telephone Monopoly.

| If every opposition to a trust seemed
helpless. it was against the telephone
monopoly. The decision of the United
States supreme court, sustaining the
Bell patents. was handed down al
Washington, i'll October. 1887. in &C
tons brought by the Bell company
for infringement against half dozen
companies operating under the patents
of Daniel Drawbaugh and others, Is re
viewed in Success magazine by Pau
LatZke. This judgment of the court
left the American Bell company with {
strangle hold on the telephone bus
| mess. With the trusts in other indus
tries it was. after all, purely Il matter
of money and methods. They had nc
| legal control of the business they dom
| mated. Any man who owned or leased
an oil well might go into the oil bus
mess if he so minded. The Standard
could cripple his markets. through un
| lawful combination with the railroads
or undersell him with the consumer
| but before the law, the smallest oil
producer of the country was on a per
feet plane OF equality with the oil
trust. He could not be stopped by in
junction from producing or refining oil
So it has been with the other indus
tries. But behind the telephone trust
stood the whole power of the United
State supreme court, and therefore, the
whole power of the nation. Under the
decision which gave the Bell people
the right to do as they pleased with
the telephone. no man or company of
IL INT
as outlaws. The whole force of the
government was at the beck and call
of the telephone company at the
slightest Semblance of competition 1t
was almost as supreme a matter to
make and use telephones without the
sanction of the trust. as it was to make
and use money without the sanction of
the government
The decision that made this condi-
ton possible was a most tragic thing.
II meant hundreds of millions of dol
lars to a small group of men in Boston.
and ruin to hundreds who had embark
ed in the telephone business under one
or the other of the interfering patents.
But. of far graver importance even
than this, it meant the sitting and
monopoly of a public utility that, I'M
der free competition, would have saved
thousands of millions TO the people OF
the United States.
Had the verdict of the court been
anything like unanimous thinking men
might reconcile themselves to the in
calculable damage done; but it was
only by the slightest fitting of the
scales of justice that the prize fell into
the lap of Bell and his associates and
the yoke was fastened to the necks of
the American people. The court stood
four to three. Justices Waite, Miller.
Matthews and Blatchford found for
Bell: Justices Bradley. Field. and HaT-
Ian held that Bells patent should be
declared void on the evidence.
