TELEPHONE FACTS
NO. 10
where the EARNINGS GO

The Providence Telephone Company, besides
being home enterprise controlled and managed
by Rhode Island people distributes annually in
earns. More than half the amount of its dividends
go to Rhode Island people. During the past year
the of all kinds paid in the state amounted TO
$3oI3ooI, of which amount $8,377.82 was in the
form of the state In the city OF Providence the
company paid on its real estate tax of S4.57545,
aid as a special tax for the of the streets it
paid $I4IS5.oo, total Of nearly $4,000 which it
turned into the city treasury.
The company each week pays out in salaries
and wages more than $1,000. With the increasing
number of employees the pay roll is continually be-
coming larger. In recent week it amounted 10
about $1,000 What the increase in the companys
business means in the way of providing livelihood
for people in the territory it is shown by the
fact that while i'll 1885 it had but SO employees it
now has about 80 on its pay roll. In addition to
these it has often provided employment for many
others on work done by independent contractors.
The growth Of the Providence Telephone Com
pany represents increased return to the state and
municipalities in the form of taxes and opportunity
for employment Of still larger number of people
Consequently, the matter is which does not
concern the stockholders alone, and it should be
remembered that while the amounts paid for taxes
and labor have increased, as the plant has been
steadily improved and extended, there has been for
~more than ten years change in the rate of dvi-
dends paid.

DYNAMITE CASE is DISMISSED
District Attorney Asks Court to Re-
lease Beard-lndian Child Beater
Gets Thirty Days
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Jan. 25.--Justice Klam-
roth disposed of three important cases
during the day. At the request of the
district attorneys office J. B. Beard,
the Mount Wilson hotel man, accused
of assault with a deadly weapon be-
cause he threw a stick of dynamite at
Deputy Sheriff Sam Wallis, was dis
missed. The district attorney thinks
that 1t is doubtful If a felony case
could have been sustained before a
jury while If the case were made one
of simple assault Beard would have a
chance to bring an exactly similar
balled Beard and was warned to stop
before the dynamite was thrown. JUS
tice Klamroth gave Beard fine dress
ing down and then let him go.
The second case disposed of was that
against Gus Verbeck, 10 years old and
already ont on parole on two previous
charges. Verbeck admitted having en-
bezzled money belonging to his en-
ployer. Ernest Roath, local fuel
dealer. He was sentenced to serve
thirty days in the county Jail.
Mary IOrosco, whose arrest on a
charge of beating a 4-year-old child
was chronicled in The Herald this
morning, was convicted of assault and
sentenced to serve thirty days, in the
county jail. The woman, who is an
Indian, took her sentence stolidly. In
spite of the cold weather she was bare
footed and presented a curious sight
as she waddled away to the county
jail after Constable w. c. Austin.
