THE PHONOGRAPH.

Edison took out his first patent
on this record of sound in 1877.
Not until eleven years later did the
instrument become of any value
In 1888 he invented a wax compos-
ition for the record and then the
instrument became something more
than curiosity. The 1877 type
of machine received the impress oil
the needle of the vibrating dia.
phragm upon sheet of tin fol-
wrapped about drum much larger
than the wax cylinder now in use
This material was so soft and the
action of the reproducing needle
was so course that 1t was neces
sary to make castings of tinfoi
record in some harder substance.

ED MALLEY
IS VICTIM OF A
Cruel JOKE
BERT MCINTOSH SLIPS ONE
OVER on THE BIG CHIEF
OF POLICE.

One Of the prettiest pieces OF act
ing occurred in this city last night
just after the adjournment OF the
Elks lodge. The chief actor in the
proceedings was Attorney G.. IA.
Mcintosh, with Chief Of Police Ed.
Malley and Sheriff J. J. Owens as
the star spectators.
About three weeks ago Malley
pulled off stunt in which McIn-
tosh was stung beautifully Ever
since the attorney has been await
ing chance for revenge. 1t came
last night and afforded amusement
for a large crowd that gathered to
watch the affair.
Mcintosh waited in. the yestibule
OF the State Bank building for over
an hour, for Malley to come down
from the lodge meeting. When
the officer appeared along about /
O'Clock, Mcintosh was apparently
in the last stages Of an elegant
souse. He was picked to the
teeth. His hat had been rumpled
and pulled down over his eyes
His feet were trying to go several
different ways at the same time and
he was talking to himself in a
language that phonograph
wouldn't touch. II was bat that
would make a sensation If pro.
duced on a moving picture film.
Owens and Malley Immediately
grabbed Mcintosh and started him
homeward. He refused to walk
and the two representatives OF the
law were forced to assume the role
of pack horses. When opposite the
TOnopah block, where Mcintosh has
his law office, 1t was decided that
the inebriate be taken there, for II
was long walk home.
II you have ever tried to carry
person who has an extra load
aboard upstairs. you can imagine
the trouble. 1t would be to walk
up two stairs and then slip back
three. All the time Mcintosh was
telling his troubles. Once he APP
peared to be getting sick and his
self-appointed guardians hurried
him to the edge of the sidewalk
that part of the load could be
dispensed with, The symptoms
proved to be false, and the return
journey to the top OF the stairs was
again resumed II took about tel
minutes to reach the landing AND
ten minutes later Mcintosh wa!
dragged into his office A ligh
was turned on and the two goot
Samaritans prepared to make a bee
in the corner for their charge.
For second the backs OF boil
gentlemen were turned and Nc
Intosh regained his feet Then Ii
sober and well measured voice h,
kindly thanked the two officers ant
informed Malley that the joke wa
on him. Malley didn't wait to hea
any more. Neither did Owens, an,
without good bye. the two lief
the office, only to be confronte
by the gang waiting without.
Now honors are even betwee
Malley and Mcintosh and the al
tempts at revenge that will be mad
by the big chief will be watche
with interest.
Not only did Malley and Owen
fall for the play. but the repre-
sentative Of the Bonanza, who hui
HE'D from this Office at the sound
of the scuffle, and helped in til
Santa Claus act. by assisting tn
officers to carry Mcintosh up stair
and scraned the skin off his shir
by coming in contact with unsee
chairs. was as surprised as the rel
at the outcome.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

While there was tendency at the
opening of the general stock market to-
day toward a recovery from the down.
ward course that has been In progress,
yet the dealing during the day was I'M
settled and uncertain. This condition
naturally ha. its influence upon the course
of trading at today's meeting of the
Washington Stock Exchange, and was
shown in the averseness to buying. At
the same time there was but little effort
made to sell, and for that reason the
quotations furnished differ but slightly
from those that were recorded yesterday.
The conclusion is drawn by market OBJ
servers from such a condition that the
local securities are strongly held, and
there is no need for the liquidation of
speculative holdings such as Is common
in the general market when the bear
element gets in control.
The bond list was passed over without
many transactions. \ couple of Wash
ington Railway fours sold at 81, which
for more, with the asking price only an
eighth OF a point In advance.
The common stock of the Washington
Railway Company. which sold yesterday
down to 40, was to be had today at 1913.
but there was no special pressure to
sell, while the demand for 1t was not at
all keen. The preferred stock could have
been dealt in on about the same level as
that of yesterday, but nothing was done.
Gas stock was offered at lower figures,
and at the same time the bid for it was
higher than at the close yesterday, but
nothing was done. Five of the per
cent bonds were sold, and at the low
price of 106, as compared with recent
figures.
The security that was the most largely
represented in the trading was the pre-
ferred stock of the Graphophone COM
pany, which sold on range Of from 33
to 1914. 100 shares in all in ten-share
lots being disposed of. This figure repre-
sents the highest level reached since the
dividend payment was suspended nearly a
year ago. There are not wanting those
who are inclined to believe that a re-
of the dividend is contemplated,
and some are sanguine enough to think
there is a possibility Of the resumption
taking place next month, and In this way
the company will observe the first ami
versary Of that occurrence.

MAGAZINE MEN PROTEST
DECLARE POST OFFICE FIGURES
ARE WRONG.
Publishers Appear Before House
Committee Asking Postal Rates
Be Not Increased.

The Association of American Magazine
Publishers charged today at the hearing
on the proposed increase in the second
class mail rates before the House COM
mittee on post Offices and post roads
that there was an error of $50, OO0, 900 in
the Post Office Departments figures
with reference to the deficit due to the
carriage Of second-class matter This is
only one of the mistakes charged against
the departments figures which have been
offered as the basis for raising the rate
for carrying magazines and periodicals
through the mails. Twenty five leading
magazine publishers were present at to-
days hearing as representatives Of the
Periodical Publishers Association.
Several publishers testified verbally be-
fore the committee. but the reply which
attracted principal attention was q
pamphlet which was circulated during
the hearing entitled "The Answer of the
Magazines"
According to this pamphlet there Is not
seventeen million-dollar deficit in the
postal service, as the department says,
but actually surplus of more than ten

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, January 26.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance Of
las points on better cables than due and
larger English spot sales. Trade interests
and houses with Liberpool connections
were buyers, but local professionals took
the short side after the opening. There
was also some sea -tering liquidation, and
prices soon eased off to a net loss Of

market during the middle of the morning
was fairly steady.

was continued demand from trade in
terests at the decline, but prices by mid
lowest, with business quiet.

BIG COMBINES Join
Unite With Other Corporations
Against Payne Tax.
FOUR SUITS FILED TODAY
Constitutionality of New Tariff At
tackled in Court.
OUR SUITS FILED TODAY

With the fight over the constitutionality
Of the corporation tax provision of the
Payne tariff act inaugurated last week,
four more suits involving the same point
were enrolled on the docket of the Su-
preme Court of the United States today
within half an hour. Unlike the original
suit, in which the little twenty-thousand-
dollar corporation, the Stone Tracy Com
pany of Windsor. VT, is the center. all
the suits today involve big corporations
with millions of capital.
origin of the Suits.
Two suits were brought from the circuit
court Of the United States for the federal
district of New York. In one of these
Wycoff Vanderhoef, stakeholder, asked
that the Coney Island and B. ooklyn Rail-
road Company and its directors be re-
strained from the payment of the cor
poration tax on the ground that 1T Is I'M
constitutional. In the other Francis L.
Hine b. ought suit for similar relief
against the Home Life Insurance Com
pany.
Two suits were docketed from the
United States circuit court for the north
ern district Of Illinois. They were the
causes of Fred w. Smith against the
Northern Trust Company and Of Will
liam H. Miner aga INST the Corn Exchange
National Bank of Chicago.
Brought by Stakeholder.
In all four causes a stakeholder
brought the suit to prevent the respect
i've corporations from complying with
the provision attacked as unconstftu
tional. demurrer was filed and sus-
tanned and the suit ordered dismissed in
the circuit court. The New York suit
was decided by the court only yester-
day, the Chicago cases the day before.
The constitutional objections urged in
each case follow in general way those
laid down in the Stone Tracy case from
Vermont.
The attorney in the four suits filed
have the cases heard with the Yer
mont case, in which a motion has al
ready been made by the complainant
and the government to advance for
hearing at an early day.
No Hope of Early Decision.
All hope of the parties directly inter-
ested of procuring a decision from the
Supreme Court of the United States in
regard to the constitutionality of the COR
poration tax provisions of the Payne
tariff act before March !, the date by
which corporations must have made
their income returns, has been aban-
doned. There Is hope that the question
may be determined before the close OF the
period for the payment of the tax, June
20.
Next Friday arguments in all cases
before the court will be suspended unt,.
February u, when the court will meet
again after a three-week recess. If the
court follows it's custom, it will not an
nounce it's decision on the motions to adj
vance the Vermont case. in which the
constitutionality of the provisions is in
volved, until next Monday, when the re-
cess begins.
Advocates Of congressional legislation to
postpone the date of the provisions be-
coming effective urge that similar action
was taken in regard to the time when the
income tax law became operative.
