VAST DEVELOPMENT
OF PHONE COMPANY
American Telephone System
Connects With 100000
New Stations During
Past Year
tFrom the Boston News Bureau.l

One of the most important features
of American telephone development in
1908 was the large increase in the
nuQ1ber of independent companies with
which connections were established.
During 1907 the Bell companies es-
tablished toll and long distance con-
nections with no less than 100000 in
dependent telephone stations through
out the country. The number taken
over last year was practically as great.
AS a result of the 1907 and 1908 de-
velopment in this direction the Ameri-
can telephone system now embraces a
total of over 100000 stations, OF
which 100000 represent stations of
small independent companies not
owned outright but connected with
the Bell lines and therefore an integ-
raj part of the system from the stand
point of effective public service. Five
years ago there were considerably less
than 100000 of these independent sta
tions so connected.
The independent stations are nearly
all in rural districts, were installed by
local people and were operated along
provincial lines until the American
telephone company saw fit to widen the
scope of it's public usefulness and made
these companies an integral part of it's
own 100000 odd stations.
These connected stations represent
at least 5000 companies commonly
classed as independents" but which in
everything except local service arc
really part of the Bell system. Grad
ually these companies are putting in
Bell instruments and adopting a Bell
standard of construction.

TESTIMONY AGAINST
LIEUTENANT JONES
Witnesses Declare the Officer
Sent a Letter Signed by
AnOther's Name

The prosecution occupied the day
yesterday at the court martial of Lieu
tenant It. A. Jones, which has begun it's
second session at the Preside.
The main subject developed was the
attempt to prove that the letter sent
under the name of c. E. Crow to Cap
tain Bryant had been sent by the de-
fendant. Although the letter was type
written the signature was written. The
star witness of the day was Captain
E. G. Davis, who said In part:
Il am familiar with the handwriting
of the defendant and from careful OBJ
servations 1 believe it to be the hand
writing of Lieutenant JONES'
Captain r. Fl. Fenner also testified
that he believed the handwriting of the
signature to be that of the defendant.
The deposition of Lieutenant A H.
Bryant, now stationed at Fort Mon
roe, was read by Captain Murphy,
judge advocate of the court. In this
deposition Bryant stated that Jones had
tried to have him take a check on the
defunct California safe deposit and
trust company for S40.44 and in it's
place let him have a cow belonging to
the Thirty second company coast artil-
lery to keep until he could derive suff1-
cient money from the sale of milk to
get even on the S40.44 check. Bryant
refused to enter into the negotiations.
The other witnesses were Lieutenant
F. r. Thornton, Private Frank Miller,
Private Butcher, Private Capon and
Sergeant Harvey S. Hammond.
The case will be continued today at
10 o'clock, when the defense will bring
in its witnesses.
Colonel Frederick Marsh is president
of the court. Captain II. w. Newton is
counsel for Lieutenant Jones
