Hot Springs. Va. Nov. 22.--More nu- merous. with more diversion as to pur- pose. were the callers received by Judge William H. Taft today. than on any day since he took up his resi- dence here in the cosy bungalow among the chestnut trees.
 Secretary of War Wright discussed the Philippine tariff and arIpy matters connected with the Philippines. Gem 4eral Demetro Castillo. Judge Diaz Alum and pr. Arturo Foutz, all of Havana. Cuba. extended congratula- tons to the President-elect, and urged upon him a visit to Cuba when the change of administration takes place next January.
 No decision to visit Cuba has been reached by MT. Taft
 penito Legatida, member of the Philippine commission. Pablo Ocampa, i, delegate to Congress from the islands. and Fernando Calderon. of Manila. call- ed to talk over Philippine matters.
 Representative Lowering of Massa- chusetts, called to urge the exertion of the Taft influence that the tarife hearings be continued throughout the coming short session of Congress. Di- rector Barrett, of the Bureau of Amer ican Republics, who was a dinner guest at the Taft cottage. said the Central and South American Republics were much interested in what was to be the attitude of Judge Taft regarding the Roosevelt Root policies of developing closer friendly and commercial rela- tions with that part of the world
 ''I shall go back to Washington with assurances from the President-elect,' ,' said Mir. Barrett that he not only approves of what has been done by the last administration in this respect. but shall make the continuance of this work one of the features of his own administration.
 Representative Crumpacker of In- diana, discussed general legislat ton with Mir. Taft. and particularly the forthcoming tarlff revision. ''I am," he said. most heartily in favor of a genuinely thorough and honest revis- ion of the tariff. I find Judge Taft to be very much in earnest on this ques- tion. He believes there are many schedules in the present tariff law which should be lowered. and l agree with him on that. It is my opinion that the men who are charged with the responsibility of this work are re- alizing this situation more and more as the present inquiry progresses
 MT. Taft will be invited to attend the trans Mississippi Commerce Con- gress at Denver next autumn. It Is tho desire of the Congress to have MT. Taft visit the West as President and 1t will urge him to extend his visit to Denver at the time of this Congress to a tour of the Pacific Coast and Western States generally.

GRANTS INJUNCTION
AGAINST THE BELL LONG DISTANCE
 SYSTEM.
The United States Telephone cOmpany Alleges That Bell Company Co Violating Sherman Anti
 Trust Law.


 Cleveland, Nov. 22.---United States Judge Taylor yesterday granted an Injunction against the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Company (Bell long g-distanee system) and the Central Union Telephone Company (Beli Com panying operating in Ohio Indiana and Illinois). restraining them from Interfering with the business of the independent companies operating in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and adJoin- ing States.
 The injunction was asked for in suit by the United States Telephone Company, which Is the Independent Long Distance Company operating in Ohio and adjoining States.
 It Is charged the Bell, as shown by. their official reports. is buying h. dependent exchanges. or selling Bell exchanges, where there are competing companies and in some cases absorbing independent companies by merger and consolida tion, or division of territory. so as to eliminate competition and es- tablish a complete Bell control in vio- lation of the sherman antitrust law, and of the laws of Ohio. Indiana, Iilt- nois and other States. in which the com panies operate. The bill says that the original value placed upon the Bell patents in 1878 was s400 900, and year later increased to S6b0,000. 4 year. later than that. the value of the same property. as represented by the capital stock, was increased from $S5O,O00 to S6.500.000. or nearly $500 for si, according to the bill.
 In 1900, the capital stock had been increased to $25.00O. 900. and in April of that year. the present American Telephone and Telegraph Company took over the Bell patents from the old company, and issued two shares of it's stock for each share of the old stock.
 The capital has since been increased to $250,000,000. The bill charges that they devoted those enormous proflts to paying exorbitant dividends. and in acquiring control of competitive proper ties in order to suppress competition. times the original cost of the stock in stock certificates and paying at times IS per cent year in dividends.
 It Is shown that they own con- .trol in many local telephone companies and companies manufacturing tele- phone apparatus.
 It Is charged that when competition began, the Bell Companies adopted the policy of starting competing exchanges and then at ruinous rates. in many instances giving free service; bringing suits on patent claims; threatening in- dependent companies with financial ruin. and. of destruction of their plants. It is said that. in some instances. the Independent companies were driven out of business and their equipment burned in public wide publicity being given as a warning to other investors who might dare to invade the fields of the Bell monopoly.

 Panic immediately followed the col- lision. and it was due to the prompt action of Captain Davidson of the Dewey that a catastrophe was averted. for the passengers on the fishing steamer began piling over the guard rail of that vessel and leaped for the deck of the Admiral Dewey. Had he backed his steamer away, many would have fallen into the water Car tain Davidson kept the steamer mf

 Thus the two steamers moved slow ly toward the east bank of the lower bay, while wild scene was taking place on the decks. It was believed that the Mount Desert would sink, and the passengers fought frantfcally to get to the deck of the Admiral Dewey A number of persons were slightly in- jured in the stampede Men and wo- men crowded over the guard rails onto the Admiral Dewey so rapidly that they trampIed upon each other.
 
 In the space of fifteen minutes. fully $50 passengers of the Mount Desert sprang to the deck of the Admiral Dewey. By this time the Admiral Dewey had pushed the Mount Desert close to the eastbank. The Admiral Dewey drew more water than the other vessel. and Captain Davidson discov- cred that the keel of his vessel was striking bottom. Nearly all the pas sengers of the Mount Desert had been transferred and the panic had subslded, so Captain Davidson signalled 10 have the engines stopped, and a few min utes later the boats drifted apart
 Later the Mount Desert steamed to south Brooklyn, where she doclxed to permit the rest of her passengers to ao ashore. Meantime the Admiral Dewey had been taken up the river to her pier, where her own and the passengers from the Mount Desert were landed
