BELL IN CONTROL
OF TELEPHONE CO.?
Chesapeake and Potomac
Plant Said to Have
Been Merged.

Although official confirmation OF the
report has not yet reached the officials
Of the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company in Washington, Il is
generally believed a deal was made yes
terday whereby the company named
took over the Maryland Telephone Com
pany, thus obtaining control for the Bell
people OF all interests in the State OF
Maryland.
BY this transaction a complete circuit
OF telephone interests IN this section Is
completed, the Chesapeake and Potomac
having already consolidated with the
Bell Telephone Company OF Philadelphia
and the Pennsylvania Telephone Com
pany. All Of these are licensees Of the
parent Bell company operating in New
Jersey, Pennsylvania. Delaware. Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia, and the
District of Columbia.
The Maryland Telephone Company
confined its principal operations 10 the
city OF Baltimore. The companies now
involved operate over 10000 telephones
and are not competitors. operating no
parallel line.
The object Of the consolidation Is said
70 be TO finance larger improvements
and to secure greater efficiency and
economy in future operations. The au-
UIOTZed capital OF the amalgamated
companies is $4,000. OF which IL is un-
derstOOd there may still be issued some
$50. 900, 600 IN stock.
Il IS expected a consolidation Of all
the companies named. which has prac-
tcally been settled upon, will be ratified
al an early meeting of the stockholders.

by the Coastwise Transportation Com
pany. The Lawson was recently con-
verted into a tank ship and was making
regular trips between Philadelphia and

crude OIL The crew Of twenty men was
commanded by CAPT. George W. Dow.
Of MelrOse. Mass
The name OF the sole survivor, accord
Ing 10 local advices. is George Allen. a

The Lawson was launched at the Fore
River Ship Yards at Quincy. Mss. July

Turned Into Oil Barge
At Newport News Yards;
Has Six Huge Tanks

In the summer OF 1906 the Thomas
w. Lawson was transformed al the
Newport News ship yards from a mag
nihcent seven-nasted steamer into an
Oil-caTTying barge No change was
made IN her rigging. masts or sails. and
5le looked the same externally after
repairs as she did before These re-
pairs consisted Of the alteration OF the
interior works OF the vessel and the
construction OF a powerful cable-clutch-
Ing apparatus 70 be used in the towing
Of the great vessel in the oil trade.
The interior alterations consisted OF
the construction Of a series Of great
steel tanks I'm the hold OF the vessel for
tie reception OF OIL The CAPACITY Of
these tanks was $500 600 gallons OF oil IN
the aggregate. There were six of these
tlnks-each one as large as six or
seven story building.
The captains quarters on the Law. son
were as sUmptuOus as any Of the state
rooms on an Atlantic greyhound. There
was a series OF rooms. including receD-
ton hall, sleeping room with a great
hardwood post bed built right into the
middle OF the room, a dining room, bath
TOOm-iu fact, all Of the aCCOmmOda-
tons Of a modern hotel These rooms
were splendidly upholstered and fur
nished extensively in every respect On
account of the length Of the ship, 376
feet all parts OF the vessel were con-
uected with telephones.
The vessel was transformed as an oil
barge for use in the trade Of the Stand
ard Oil Company along the Atlantic
coast and to foreign countries. 1t was
thought that the oil could be more eco
nomically handled in large bulk in a
vessel like the Lawson, which had ex-
traOrdinary sail power. This sail power
was expected to assist the towing OF the
vessel along the coast, and the sails
could be used as the only propulsive
power in trips across the ocean
The problem in transforming the YES
gel was 10 so install and subdivide the
tanks that the oil would not roll from
side to side in the ship and thereby
make her unsteady.
