TELEPHONE FACTS
NO. 18
HAS NOT PAID A Dividend

There are two telephone companies operating
in Philadelphia. One is the Keystone, an "inde-
pendent" concern which began business about five
years ago. In that time it has not paid dividend
Neither has it built up business of any size.
According to its September directory, it had 5000
subscribers. The Bell company had at about the
same time 67243 subscribers in the city Of Pha-
delphia
Only 5222 of the 1860 Keystone subscribers
used the Keystone telephones exclusively. In order
that this small number might have Keystone ser
vice, Io44S Philadelphia people subscribed for both
services-two to one. The burden of paying two
telephone bills, the annoyance of having two tee-
phones, where would answer, placed
10000 people in order that 5000 may only the
keystone system.
Only 75 Philadelphia doctors find that they can
get along with the keystone telephone alone. But
2,597 physicians find that the Bell telephone is all
that they require.
The Bell telephone company reaches more
than four times many Philadelphia people as the
Keystone and in proportion to facilities given the
Bell rates the lower and the Bell company is
growing three times as fast as the Keystone.
These facts concerning Philadelpha's
perence with telephone Competition" They give
the lie to much of the loose talk recently heard in
Providence about the success OF independent tec-
phone companies

Nlcaraguan and HonduraR Troops Bat

Msnagua, Nicaragua, March 81
Meagre details OF 8 bloody battle be-
tween Nicaraguau and Hondursn troops
in which between 700 and 800 casualties
resulted, reached here today from Nam.
asiquo, Honduras. where the engagement
Ia said to have been fought.
Managus, March 81 According to
the report received here, the Hondur n
army was the sggressor, having attacked
the Nicsraguan forces, which were
strongly entrenched at Namssiquo. The
battle 10 said to have opened with a Skin
mish just before dawn on March II, and
TO have lasted for three days. President
Zelays was 10 personal command Of the
Nicarsgusn troops, which we're said TO
have been the victors and to have sue
cessfully held their position. Owing 10
the strength Of the Nicaragusn defense,
repeated assaults ny the Honduran troops
we're easily repulsed and the attacking
party finally gave up the fight and with
drew. Vague figures as to the number
Of casualties have been received here and
little credence il placed In the most
persistent reports that the Hondursns
lost 500 desd and left 800 wounded on
the field and that the Nicaragusn Losses
were 800 killed and like number
wounded. An uncondrmed report re-
celved here from San Juan del Sur SAYS
that the HonduFan amy was reinforced
with a large body Of Salvadoran troops,
and that among those Hondurans taken
prisoners were General Martinez, who
was seriously wounded.
