MORGAN GETS PHONE LINES.
PURCHASES INDEPENDENT PLANTS
 IN WEST
Completes Merger of Six Lines. Repre- senting Outlay of es,000,O00
 -WiII Fight He'll Tele-
 phone Line

Toledo, O., Dec. 15.--Announcemen was made here today that J. P. Nor gan and Co.,. are the purchasers Of two of the independent telephone proper ties in which James S. Bradley. Jr.. of this city, recently secured control. De- tails of the deal and future operation are not known yet.
 Mir. Bradley admitted today that he has perfected a deal for the independ- ent plants of Columbus and Dayton. O. Announcement as to these companies and the new long distance company of Indianapolis. and the Toledo Home Tel ephone Company Is withheld for the present. but the unofficial information that they have been acquired also by Morgan and Company Is credited. Con- trol of the six companies is said to rep resent a cash outlay of sS.000,000. The deal is said to be the first investment or financial interest of Morgan and Co.,. in independent properties.
 The United States Company is the long distance service of the independ- ents in Ohio and Michigan. and the New Long Distance Company of those in Indiana. There probably will be no changes in management
 Except for the statement that these properties will be continued as "sepa- rate plants in competition with the Bell, but upon conservative lines. without disastrous price cutting" their future operation with relation to the Bell Com pany is left somewhat open, so far as official information goes. 1t seems, however. that the fight on the part of the principal Independents in this sec ton has been shifted to the Continental Telephone and Telegraph Company, which is being promoted by H. c. Sti- feI and Max Koehler. of St. Louis, and John A. Howard, of West Virginia.
 The Brailey-Brown interests make no denial of this and Mir. Bradley today gave out a statement. declaring that the Continental Company and it's pro moters and. not minority stockholders of the Independent properties in good faith. instituted the suits against the United States and Cuyahoga compa- nies. and inspired the sources from which came much of the information contained in recent newspaper pnblica- tions concerning his telegraph details.
 It Is unofficially stated that the To- ledo and Indianapolis properties re- gently acquired by Bradley probably will go to the same interests and that all of these companies will continue in competition with the Bell, but not at such a degree az to seriously affect rates.
 C. A. Seiders. local counsel for H. c. stifel. said tonight:
 "The official announcement does not say that the Bell interests are not the eventual purchasers. It Is not uncom- mon for such deals to be made through banks which hold the property until the organization to which the property IS to be turned over is perfected.

snifn Not AMected.

Cleveland. O., Dec. 15.-Harrison B. McGraw. attorney for the minority stockholders of the independent tele- phone systems said that the an- nouncement as to the purchase of in dependent stock by J. P. Morgan and Company will not affect the trend of suits in which he Is counsel.
 It was said by the Independents that George F. Baker of J. P. Morgan and Company. Is member of the American Telephone and Telegraph Board

on mis- pension before he was dropped.
The sum which awaits Early's call is
S1s946 and represents his pension from
June (, the date Of the last payment to

name was stricken from the rolls, at the

This voucher was mailed to him only a
little more than month ago az an ad-
dress in Virginia, furnished by Repre-

voucher was held at the Pension Office

The Pension Office VII decline to rec

either that Of the District or of other
health authorities. unless confirmed by
the Offices staff of physicians.
The only way for Early to regain the
payment OF his pension is to apply for
restoration to the pension roll on the
ground that he is a leper and have this
opinion confirmed by Pension Office
physicians. Since he Is trying 20 prove
that ne Is free from leprosy It is not
likely that Early viii try to regain his
