 Further than that his consideration oi the possibilities Of the service may moi

 and value of the telephone in the transaction Of business with more dis
 tant points.
 Tine more that one can get out Of q
 thing The more valuable il necessarily
 must be. Therefore, before placing any
 definite value on utility and weighing
 the benefits which may accrue from it, IL Is well 10 first find the bounds to l which its effectiveness is confined. l In the case of telephone service in the | United States this may be said to be almost iimi;less.
 Anyone who has studied the ques- ton at all knows how completely the state Of Connecticut has been equipped
 with telephone facilities. The service today is within the reach of anyone who cares to use Il. Twenty years ago the community in which there was 1 telephone service was the exception. Today II is the direct opposite that Is the rule, proven beyond the peradsen- ture Of doubt by the fact that there Is not town in the state into which telephone service has not been extend. ed
 This k true not only of Connecticut but to nearly the same extent of every state in the Union. If this condition dividual telephone user all these units must be joined by connecting links which will 10 all practical purposes, make one great national system cover ing the entire country and providing an almost instantaneous means of per sonal communication Already this ideal condition has largely become an accomplished fact through the medium Of the Long Distance wires which con meet the telephone system of this state with similar systems oiothef states and thus multiply the value of the service by making each individual user avail. able to every other.
 Il k this oppotthniiy--the chance 10 call up not only q friend ef business associate In tllis stale, not onls per son in New York with whom imme- diate communication k desired; but even those at the more distant points, any one of more than 5,000, ,o00 Bell telephone subscribers, that lies within the power of the man in Connecticut who uses the telephone service Of tine Southern New England Telephone Company. The extent of the service In the state, greatlas II is, k merely a drop in the bucket when compared to lhe millions of other telephones made aviIable by the hundreds of thousands of miles of long distance wires. Chicago k as near to n business man, from telephonie standpoint, as his home in the other part of the town: II Is as easy to get Portland, Me-, as Il Is to call up his nearest customer and so on.
 It k not alone the number of tele- phones iu our own state but also the countless others, far outside of Gonnee- tieut available through Inc agency Of the long distance wires, that constitute he service to every one who has a telephone on his wall or desk.

LAND CASES SETTLED BY
COMPROMISE AGREEMENT
Could Not Find Frauds as
RepOrted---T Timber to Go to Holders
and Territory Retains the GrOund---
Delegate Andrews Presents Bill to
Congress.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 5.-(Spc-
ciaD-W. II. Andrews. delegate to
Congress from New Mexico, yester-
day introduced bill providing for
the final settlement and satisfactory
compromise Of the land cases in New
Mexico, brought by special attorneys
for the government against the Am
erican Lumber company and others,
named in the charges of alleged ir-
regularities.
The bill provides that the land
shall revert TO the territory except the
timber which will remain the prop
erty of the present holders. Since
the timber is the chief asset OF the
land values, the parties interested Sc
cure practically the only privilege
desired.
Governor Curry accompanied by
members Of the companies and the
individuals interested, spent this af-
ternoon at the Department OF the In
terror with government officials and
attorneys going over the terms of the
compromise.
At the conclusion OF the confer
euce, the compromise was fully ap-
proved by the government officials
and the New Mexlcans Interested.
This compromise will without doubt

eud the Iand cases permanently.
These cases, based on alleged ir.
regularities, caused considerable Of a
stir at the ume they were investgat-
ed. The government attorneys found
after going fully into the facts. that
they had no grounds whatever for n
charge Of criminal fraud and il is
very doubtful II they could have sus-
tanned even charges of technical vio-
lation OF the law. However, as the
holders OF the land were desirous OF
securing the timber and We're willing
10 cede the territory the land with
out contest, the matter was quickly
compromised on that basis, both
sides to the controversy agreeing to
the compromise without delay.
Sensational newspaper reports indi-
Gated that grave frauds had been un-
earthed In New Mexico at the time the
suits were brought, but investigation
proved that such reports were exag-
gerations and without the least relia-
Bile foundation It Is conceded here
that this ends the so-called timber
land frauds I'm New Mexico, about
which so much fiction was written.
1t is understood that steps will al once
be taken by the government officials
90 dismiss the suits now pending.

New York. Feb. 1.-THE acquittal of
Harry Thaw on the ground of insan-
ity makes it possible for the Thaw
family TO do what it is reported they
have long desired to do-annul his
marriage with Evelyn Nesbit. The
statutes of New York provide that "A
marriage contract. where either of the
parties was of unsOund mind at the
time of the marriage ceremony, can
be declared null and void. For that
reason, any application made upon
the part of the Thaw family will have
to be submitted to the court, which
can act only as the law provides.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's friends told
her a long time ago, according to the
stories circulated in uptown cafes,
that in all probability the elder Mrs.
Thaw would pursue this course, and
if she should decide to do so, in view
of the verdict rendered in Thaw's
trial. the young Mrs. Thaw would be
left without a legal footing upon
which to interpose an objection.
1t seems, therefore, that should
Harry Thaw's mother, or any other
member of the Thaw family, see fit
TO begin such proceedings, the mar

The early morning rush could not

cars were delayed so far behind their
schedules that no attempt was made
to run on the regular time, but each
car made the best time possible. The
electric railroads were the worst suf-
ferers as the steam lines experienced
out little trouble. In several in
stances, however, trains in and out
of Chicago were delayed several hours
by slippery tracks.
The night was bitterly cold and the
sleet and rain caused intense suffer
ing among the poor. As many as
could be accommodated were given
lodging in the municipal buildings and

London, Feb. 5.-DOn Miguel de
Braganza. head of the direct house
of Braganza, which formerly reigned
over Portugal, the pretender TO the
throne, probably will come to the
front again because of the death or
King Carlos. The father Of Don MI
guel was the late King Miguel l.
Duke of Braganza, who seized the
throne from his niece. Queen Maria
II. daughter of Emperor Pedro | OF
Brazil. and was king Of Portugal from
1S2S to 1884, at which latter date
Queen Maria was restored to the
throne. There have been numerous
rumors of a rebellion with the OBJ
ject of placing Don Miguel on the
throne, but recently these were not
given serious consideration.
1t may be, however, that, with the
support OF England, which is guar
auteed by treaty, the government un-
der the lead of the new king may be
able to restore order and suppress
any attempted movement in favor OF
Don Miguel. 1t is regarded as highly
improbable that the republican move
meut can make much headway at
prssput.
