NOTE AND COMMENT

The result of Mr.. Fairbanks visit
to Korea indicates that the Japanese
know all about cocktails with cherry
trimmings.
The irrepressible Mr.. Bryan is the
most unsel6sh man alive. If he can
not be president he is perfectly willing
to give advice to anybody who is.
Ambassador O'Brien confirms the
impression made by the Hearst papers
that there is no prospect of war
between the United States and Japan.
Gypsy Rigo has joined the musi-
clans union. Ladies who do not re-
ceive immediate answers to their let
tiers will understand that now he can
work only eight hours day.
With the help of Superior Judge
Mogan and representatives of Mr..
Calhoun's evening paper and streetcar
company one Gus Johnson has man
aged TO keep out of the penitentiary,
although he is confessed pickpocket.
1t is hard to land some of these
higher ups in Jail.

M0RGAN'S MAN DENIES
HE HAS PHONE TRUST

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-"The suggestion
that there is any telephone trust or COM
bination In contemplation as a result of
our requirement OF telephone properties
in the middle west is absurd" says H.
p. Dawson. OF j. p. Morgan & Co.. in a
statement published here today.
"Our firm purchased these properties
for the simple reason that they could be
acquired at a reasonable price and were
therefore considered a good investment.
while it is true that Mr.. Morgan's re-
lations with the American Telephone
and Telegraph company are harmonious
there is no foundation for the suggestion
that Mr.. Morgan is cooperating with
that or any other corporation in the
formation Of a telephone trust.
"a telephone trust is impossible under
existing circumstances The public would
never permit of the formation of a trust
which would restrict so important a COM
modify as telephone service"
