BELL DOESN'T NEED IT.
Telephone Company Says It Can Get
Along Without Franchise.

A franchise with the privilege of
charging as much for their telephone
service as they want is the wish of the
Bell Telephone company. The com
pany is before the council with the re-
quest for an extension of their fran
chise expiring in April, 1908.
AS slight concession the company
finally agreed at a meeting Of the
judiciary committee of the council
last evening to give the city twenty
free telephones, the same as the Inde-
pendent Telephone company's fran
chise provides for.
This is the only concession which
the company offers. at the same time
asking that the old franchise as first
granted be extended in toto.
The Independent cOmpany's fran
chise which was recently extended for
a period Of twenty years and which
was first passed in 1901 contains sew
eral admirable provisions. It pro-
vides that the maximum charge for
telephones shall not exeed $36 a year
for commercial phones and $50 a year
for residence phones. It also says:
And the city of Topeka especially re-
serves the right upon reasonable
notice being given to direct at the cost
of B. F. Pankey, his successors and
assigns, to change the construction of
said lines to carry out the provisions OF
this section at the cost of said B. T.
Pankey, his successors and assigns. II
also states: THAT the lines Of poles
and wires erected or maintained by the
said B. f Pankey, his successors and
assigns, shall be so placed as to least
/ interfere with the use by the public
I corporations or individuals Of the
streets and alleys in the city of To-
| peka."
1t also provides: Nothing in this
| ordinance shall be construed so as to
/ prevent the city from ordering all
wires placed underground at any time
the city council shall deem the same
for the best interests of the city. II
/ case any wires are placed underground
! the same shall be done under the di-
rection and supervision of the city en-
gineer of said city, and at such place
or places and in such manner as may
be directed by the mayor and council

Bert Sutherland. Jointist, Pleads
Guilty in Police Court.

A jointist entered a plea of guilty in
police court this morning, and was
fined 500 and 80 days in jail. This
victim, Bert Sutherland, who was
caught a few weeks ago dealing re-
freshments at the Fritz Durein place
on Fourth street, jumped his bond
shortly after being arrested, and has
been at large until last night, when he
bench warrant. AS he was caught
with the goods, and had no money to
fight the case. Sutherland entered a
plea of guilty. and having no money
will work 100 days on the city rock
pile.
Sutherland is the first man to make
an unconditional plea of guilty to the
liquor selling charge in police court
for many years. Three years ago, a
green countryman named Curry who
was employed as bartender in a joint
at ia West Norris street, North To
peka, pleaded guilty because he knew
he was guilty. After he had been seen
by lawyers he pleaded ignorance and
was allowed to change his plea.
About the same time Spencer An
thony, a harmless old negro who was
caught selling wildcat whisky from a
jug. was found guilty, and having no
money to pay lawyers, served out his
sentence
A negro joint in the bottoms dis
trict was raided by a squad of police
last night, and VIII Gray and Arnie
Mitchell were arrested as keepers.
One key of ''nonunion'' beer was cap
tured.

Third street and a fee of ten cents is
exacted before one may view the inter-
Tor Of the enclosure and watch the
freaks and features as they are exhibit
ed before the tents as the spoilers extol
the wonders to be seen on the inside.
The interior Of the enclosure is made
as light as day by the thousands Of
electric lights which are burning
brightly everywhere, and one does not
have to enter to hear the deafening
medly Of sounds which drift out over
the walls and into the night air. A half
dozen bands are playing at different
places, animals are roaring, engines are
putting, spoilers are believing out the
features of their attractions and the
crowd is yelling and adding its portion

the old Bell franchise which the Bell
Telephone company wants adopted
without a change. AS threat they
have tried to intimfdate members of the
city council by saying they can do
business without a franchise. S. J.
Bear, representing the company, told
the members of the judiciary committee
last evening that the company was in
out a franchise If it so desired. The
claim is set up by them that former
act Of the legislature; since repealed,
and under which they were organized
gave them a blanket right in the cities
of the first, second and third class to
use the alleys and streets. They claim
that the fact they were organized IN
der this act still gives them the right
and privileges of this act though it has
been repealed.
The Bell company agrees to put its
wires underground but this is the limit
to which they have come 50 far for pro-
posed changes in the old franchise.
Il understand that the larger the
service a telephone company has the
more it costs to operate said Coun-
Gilman Green of the committee. q
would be willing to adopt some sliding
schedule of charges based on the num-
Der of phones in use if it could be
proved to me that the schedule was
proper and just. think that the city
has a right to be protected by maxi
mum rate clause. What is there to pre-
vent a consolidation of the two tele-
phone companies and then a boosting
up of the telephone rates up to the
prices that they ask in Kansas City
where it Is IS and 50 a month. The
Bell company might in time buy out
the Independent company, there is no
telling, and the city would be power
less to hold the company down on its
rates"
The franchise was referred back to
the council by the committee without
any recommendation.
