Postal Win Join.

Columbus, Ohio Nov 16.--The an neuncement today that the American Telephone and Telegraph Company the controlling force in the Bell Tele- phone Company, has obtained control of the Western Union Telegraph Com pany makes it certain to the minds of the local independent telephone men that it is the Postal Telegraph Con- pany for which James S. Bradley pur- chased the United States Telephone Company, the Cuyahoga Telephone Company and the New Long Distance Company of Indiana.
 As the American Telegraph and Tel ephone Company has announced that large holding company is to be form ed to merge the telegraph and tele- phone companies, it is believed here that in a short time similar an- nouncement will be made by the Pos tai officials
 The purchase pf the independent long distance companies gives the Postal the ground of miles of new lease in Ohio and Indiana and makes it a formidable competitor of the Bell in the telephone line as in the tele- graph field.

Toledo Ohio, Nov. 16.-It has been generally understood ahe American compsny had secured control of the Western Union, while the Postal in- terests are the largest individual stock holders in the American.
 James s. Bradley IT,, would not con- init himself as to whether the Postal company is his financial packer in his recent purchase of the independ- ent telephone companies.
 T have all along said that neither the American Telephone and Tele- graph Company. the Bell, nor any of it's affiliated companies are concerned in the purchase of this stock he said but when you ask me anything out side of that, decline to commit my self"
 MT. Bradley said that details of his deals may be made known officially later.
 It IS known that some of Brailev's former close associates in the control of these companies have disposed of their stock retainings sufficient to qualify themselves as directors or vot. ing trustees The independent com. panies concerned are the United state Gong distance) Company, the cnyalloga Of Cleveland, the Toledo

 Gould Sale Responsible.


 Gould Sale Responsible.
 New York, Nov. 16.-It was by the sale of the Gould stock in the West ern Union that the merger with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, as announced in Boston dispatch, was accomplished today. The Western Union was one of the properties pf the late Jay Gould, which has been in the Gould family for years.
 George Gould, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of the Western Union, said tonight:
 ''It is a fact we have sold a large part of our holdings in the Western Union to the telephone company believe this will inre to the benefit of both the public and the Western Union stocllholders, as the business of both companies can be handled so that they form a complement to one another thus giving the fullest ex- tent, prompt and satisfactory service to patrons"
 While the report has been current that the Mackey Companies, control ling the Postal Telegraph Company win ultimately be included in the plan of rganization, no confirmation of this could be obtained in New York
 Officers of the Postal were emphatic in their statements that the company would remain on an independent basis.

FEAR THERE WILL BE VIOLENT DEMONSTRATIONS WHEN Bo-
 DIES ARE BROUGHT UP.
Chief Horan Says That if the Lid Is Lifted of the Mine That 1t Will Cause the Entire Loss of
 the Mine.

Cherry, H., Nov. 16.-Tioops have been called for to prevent any unto- ward demonstration at the St. Paul Coal Mine, when the bodies of the 300
 men, entombed by last Saturdays disaster are brought to the surface.
 Sheriff Skoglund of Bureau county. with authority from States Attorney Ecl;hart, telegraphed to Springfield. H., late today asking Governor De neen to send several companies cf state militia.
 So far there has been no violence displayed as result of the disaster and States Attorney Eckhart hopes by the presence of a small guard to |prevent any III advised move on the part of the miners, whose feelings have been wrought up by the loss of their comrades.
 We want the troops at once; that's all there Is about 1t. We will take no chances declared the states attpr- ney.
 When the bodies will be brought to the surface is doubtful None of the officials believe any of the 300 en- tombed men are alive. Fire in the mine todfy was even more intense than 1t was when tho men were entrapped three days ago. i, and no efforts could he made to en- ter It.
 Fire Chief FIsTan of Chicago arrived with assistance and a supply of hose and chemical fire extinguishers. The seal over the mouth of the shaft was perforated and 1t was intended to force water and chemicals down through pipes. A thermometer plung cd into the sand scattered on the top of the seals showed temperature of 1l0 degrees, indicating that the heat in the interior of the mine must have been intense.
 Chief Horan inspected the condl- tions and shook his head.
 Its no use" he said.
 ITO Tiff the lid today would mean the whole mine would blaze up and there would be no possibility of TO- covering even the bodies. The coal deposits would take fire. the timber supports would crumtle in and it is terrible to picture what would hap pen. Perhaps another shaft would have to be dug to recover the remains of the men.
 George $. Rice of Pithsburg. chief of the field work of the United States Geological Survey also was positive that the re-entering of the mino would have to be postponed.
 Stories of distress continue to pour in.
