Why 1t Costs so Much
To Talk so Little

Boston, April I3.-Most Americans
now and then become possesToTs for
three or four minutes at time of a
hundred thousand dollars worth OF
property. That is because nearly
everybody occasionally telephones TO
some place a thousand miles away
from home. Some Americans express
wonder at times why they have to
pay certain charges for the privilege
of projecting the voice half way across
the continent
Just why engineers have established
the present rates in return for which
the telephone subscriber holds exclu-
siyeIy, for a brief interval of time,
property varying in value from few
hundred to more than 100000, ac-
cording to the length of line over
which conversation takes place, is one
of the most significant Of the exposi-
tions in the annual report of Presi-
dent Theodore N Vail Of the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany. Why the rates for long dis
lance talking cannot, by the exercise
of any degree of ingenuity. be made
much lower than they row are is the
gist of President Wallis analysis of
charges.
Look, with the help of the telephone
traffic expert, at a typical service
chart showing the variation of~the in
and out toll calls in the city which,
relatively to its population, makes the
largest use of the long distance facili-
ties of any American community.
Thai, of course, means Washington,

The Great Destroyer

Prisoner at the bar, have you any
thing to say why sentence OF death
should not be passed upon your"
A solemn hush fell over the crowded
courtroom, and every person waited in
almost GREATNESS expectation for an
answer to the judges question.
Win the prisoner answer? Is there
nothing that will make him show some
sign of emotion? VIII he maintain
the cold, Indifferent attitude he has
shown through the trial even to the
place of execution? Such were the
questions that passed through the
minds of those who had followed the
case from day today
The judge still waited in dignifed
silence. Not a whisper was heard
anywhere. and the situation had be-
como painfully oppressive, when the
prisoner was seen to move. His
head was raised, his hands were
clenched, and the blood had rushed
into his pale, careworn face, his teeth
were firmly set, and into his haggard
eyes there came a flash of light Sud
denly he rose to his feet, and in a
low. firm but distinct voice, said:

This startling statement created a
tremendous sensation The Judge

In amazement, while the spectators
could hardly suppress their intense eN
element The prisoner paused few
seconds. and then continued in the

He was a drummer of the more

made acquaintance in the parlor car.
THAT reminds me of one of the

other. Over the whole system the
average time interval consumed in
completing each communication is
seven and half minutes. When one
considers the long interval which is
required in exceptional cases, as
where combinations of circuits have
to be built up, with complicated and
delicate auxiliary apparatus involved,
this interval must seem to the lay
man to be extraordinarily short. The
average iss of course, brought down
by the quickness with which well
trained operators effect direct service

 Francis J. Heney in Randolph's office

 Heney's revenue during the time that he imported peons is placed al $50 ,00G. though this Is not offieiaI. The only parties from which the exact figures can be obtained are the Heneys or the Southern Pacific ofh- ciais. who have the books at their dis
 posal
 Those wao have heard of the expose lof Heneys contract all realize that lit has been made known for the pur-
 pose of discrediting him in the eyes of those who are supporting him in the graft prosecution. Otherwise the pub l lieity would probably end Heney's usefulness as far as prosecuting San
 Francisco grafters is concerned AS yet there is no intimation that any criminal prosecution will follow the discovery that Heney secured. la
 herers in Mexico and had them brought here to work for the Southern Pacific. Tie contract labor law is
 rather strict, but it has not yet been shown that either of the Heneys viO- lated this law.
 On account of Heney's being so well known in Arizona the startling discovery that while ne was prescott

 Mexico has caused 8 decided stir among those who know him.

Al Houncensent vas made last week by Chief Engineer KalIright that the preliminary surveys for the San Diego X Arizona railroad route on the Amer ican side of the international bounda- ry line were expected 10 be completed by Saturday and that then everything would be ready to make an estimate of the construction of the road by that route.
 The proposed route running partly through Mexico has been thoroughly surveyed. the permanent lines estab- lisaed and an estimate made on the cost of the road by that route.
 We are rushing work on the pre- liminary survey so that we can make these estimates and comparisons with the object i'll view of deciding de6- niteIy which route will he the most desirable to use in the construction of the road, ' said Chief Engineer Kallright In the event that the American route should be the one tha5 is definitely decided upon.
