New York, Nov. 16.-The an
nouncement made today from Boston
that the American Telephone & Tel
egraph company had obtained "the
control of n substantial minority in
terest in the shares of the Western
Union Telegraph company" is believ.
ed by Wall street to presage one of
the biggest financial deals that has
been arranged in many years.
Although the official statement
says only n substantial minority in
terest has been acquired It is believed
that sufficient voting rights. in other
Western Union stock has been se-
cured TO give the American Telephone
~ Telegraph company active control
OF the Western Union.
In financial circles Il is believed
that the announcement Is the first
step toward merging the telephone
and telegraph companies into corr
poration with n capitalization OF ST.
coo, ,000,0 900.
AS the American Telephone & Tel
egraph company already controls all
the Bell Telephone company, the
merger would make the greatest
company In the
world.
The American Telephone company
is capitalized at $300,000,000 In
stocks and $22S, 100000 in bonds.
II is said that William II. Baker.
former vice president and general
manager of the Postal. will be the
new general manager of the Western
Union. while other important changes
are expected 10 follow the closing of
the deal.
Officials of the Postal declare their
will remain on an independ-
ent basis. Western Union stock fell
three points on the exchange as soon
as the telephone company's official
statement was made.
1t Is reported that in addition TO
the stock held by the Goulds, the tel.
ephone company has taken over the
Russell Sage and the stock of other
allied interests and that n working
majority is now held by the telephone
In taking over the Western union,
IL Is said the American Telephone &
company does not guaran-
tee any dividend on the Western
Union stock to stockholders. How
ever in view of the contemplated
reduction of expenses in the West
ern Union. the merger. II is believed,
will benefit both companies, as they
will work in harmony and each will
be able TO take advantage of the val
ua BILE franchise of the other.

SAFEGUARDING THE LIVES OF
OPERATIVES.

Another fearful mine disaster seems
to admolish lawmakers and officials
that there is something wrong with
the law or with It's enforcement. One
would think that all large mines
should be constructed with more than
one exit so that il fire started on
one side the men could escape on the
other. Where there is only one en-
trance and an explosion and fire oc-
ours there Is no chance for the men.
But a system OF mining one would
think could be devised whereby the
men coIld escape unless there were
two or three simultaneous explosions
at certain places--something not like
TO occur in a hundred years. The
laws certainly must need revision or
their enforcement needs looking after
Where five hundred men are needed
there certainly should be required an
expenditure of money making their
lives well safe-guarded.

Carefully Explains His
Every Move.
Former Secretary Tired of
Waiting.
Decided to Walt no Longer For an
Invitation 10 Give His Side of the
Affair and just Wrote Anyway
President Is Placed In n Rather
Awkward Position.
ny Unlted Press wire.


Washington, Nov. 17-lt Is persis-
tently talked here that when Secre-
tray Ballinger said in his recent state
ment II did what Mr.. Garfield would
have done.' he drew fire from his
predecessor in Office. 1t is known that
former Secretary James r. Garfield
has written a long letter to President
Taft IN which he has carefully ex-
planned how he conducted the in
terror department, especially with re-
ference to the land Office and the
Indian bureau.
...c writing of this letter ut this
time win put the president In a
more or less awkward position IL the
claims of the Pinchot partisans shall
turn out to be well founded.
According to these claims the presi-
dent was not given full information
by Ballinger, especially with reference
TO the Alaska coal frauds and Ballin-
gers connection with the claims as
attorney.
Upon the Ballinger statement of the
facts President Taft wrote his letter
sustaining Baliinger and giving him a
clean bill OF official healh.
1t is understood that before this
action was taken former Secretary
Garfield offered to put the president
IN possession of his (Garfield's) ver-
sion of the Alaskan nases If Mr..
Taft should desire it. The matter went
no further at that time.
Now it is known through the med
ium of White House gossip that Gar
field. having waited in vain for n re-
quest to send in his statement, has
sent 1t in anyhow
Thus any further action that the
Pinchot Ballinger. row cannot be ex-
planned by a claim on the part of the
friends of the president that he had
not been mlly informed as to both
sides OF the case.
What the contents OF the state
ment sent the president by Garfield
are does not appear at this time,
but in case Garfield is called as q
witness IN congressional investiga-
tion this winter, the date of the letter
and data q contains will be interest
ing. All of which goes to show it
1t pointed out, that under cover OF
charges tf plots and conspiracies
there is hcing fought out away down
beneath the somewhat troubled sur
face OF Official Washington a silent,
bitter struggle between the pro- -Roose-
veltians and the hackers, political and
otherwise, of Ballinger.

Recently there appeared simultan
eously ID two of the leading mag
asines treaties on Mrs. Eusapia Palla
dino. an Italian spiritist medium. This
woman Is fifty-three years old bu
looks not TO be more than forty-foul
She is generally believed to be the
most powerful medium as yet brought
10 public notice anywhere in ciyiit,
zation. Mr.. Hereward Carrington. q
man OF conceded ability and a not.
ed investigator, went to Italy and
held n seance with Mrs. Palladino and
recently indu'ed her to make a trip
10 New York where she is now. He
said this woman in her seance
caused table to be lifted into the
air without touching it and brought
10 pass various other physical phe-
nonena which was unexplained by
anything known to natural laws. 1t
seemed that this woman had inyisi-
BILE hands and arms for she moved
tables and played on stringed in
struments and did other things when
her hands and feet were firmly Sc
suced. She partly won over to spirit
ism the celebrated scientific special
Isl, DR.. Cesare Lombroso, recently de-
ceased. DR.. Darlington in his recent
dissertation regarding her stated that
when performing her feats of med.
iumistic power this woman lost
seventeen pounds within few Sec
onds or minutes. Also he recorded
that she was great cheat and
would avoid the real performance
when she could make a subterfuge
answer. The idea conveyed was tnat
ner sealces were conducted with
great stress and intense mental ex-
ertion and that they were such a
tax on ner ST. myth that she would
avoid them whenever possible. This

she arrived at New York she met
some newspaper men but informed
them that she could not operate in
crowd in the daylight in a small
room. All she could secceed in
erecting there would be tipping OF
some tables and chairs.
A newspaper writer characterizes
her as follows:
Apparently she would be a good
mother and good housekeeper. she
is extremely active She has shrewd
native intelligence but no scholastic
training. In that respect, 1t is said,
she is typical OF mediums for spirits.
In height she is rather under the
middle standard, In fa,e and figure
she resembles Nine. Januaschek, Her
hands are small and we'll moulded.
They are in constant use when she
talks and she displays great degree
OF pantomimic ability.

the paper making industry.

somewhat scarce, although there Is
