PHONE BATTLE BEGINS
MICKULECKY SUIT AGAINST WIS
CONSIN COMPANY IN COURT.
Case of Independents Versus the Bell
Interests Is Watched with Much
Interest in State.

RACINE. Wis, Jan. 3.-[Special i
The case of Joseph W. Mickulecky
against the Wisconsin Telephone COM
pany and others, was called before Judge
Hastings of Green Bay in circuit court
this afternoon.
This is the case wherein the Wiscon-
sin Telephone company undertook to buy
the stock of the Citizens Telephone cOnN~
pany and Mickulecky commenced an az
ton to restrain them from so doing.
After the case was presented to the
court, the Wisconsin Telephone COM
pany's attorneys stated they did not de-
sire to buy the stock of the company I'M
less they could get it all and as this was
dismissed and that Charles K. Carpenter,
treasurer of the Citizens Telephone com
pany be instructed to return the stock of
said company to the stockholders.
The attorneys for the Citizens Tele-
phone company agreed to this and so
the case was dismissed.
This suit is of great Importance to all
telephone companies in the state, es-
pecially to the independent telephone
companies, because this was the first
effort on the part of the Wisconsin COM
pany to absorb the important independ-
ent companies in this state.
1t is now said that additional stock
will be subscribed to the Citizens Tele-
phone company to put it on firm pay
ing basis.

CALL MONEY IS HIGH.
Eight Per Cent. Bid for Loans Before l
O'clock-Tightness Expected to
Last Two Weeks.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Call money
today touched the highest rate in more
than year On the stock exchange and
caused some unsettIement in the tone of
the securities market.
Opening loans were made at per
cent. By the noon hour the rate had add
vanced to 4 Before 1 o'clock S per
cent. was bid with small offerings. The
scarcity Of money was ascribed to year
end adjustments, which have tied up
large amounts of cash.
Some of the more important financial
institutions were not lenders in today's
markets, but out of town banks offered
moderate sums at the higher rates.
1t is the judgment Of conservative
bankers that money will not relax mate
rally II this market for at least fort
night. Last weeks bank statement,
which reported marked decrease in the
surplus Of the associated banks, is point
ed out as an ample reason for today
money furry.
After reacting from to ~ per cent.
call money went back to and then to
10 per cent. bid.
Following the close of the market,
some overnight loans were made at II
per cent. That price was eagerly bid
and the demand was greater than the
supply.

Unexpectedly True.

The clever young man was wander
ing up and down the platform Of the
railway station, intent on finding an
empty carriage in the express, which
was almost due to start, says a writer
in Tit-Bits. But in vain Assuming
an official air, he stalked up to the
last carriage, and cried in a stento-
rian voice:
"All change here! This carriage
isn't going!"
There were explanations lew but
deep from the occupants Of the crowd
ed compartment; but, nevertheless,
they hurried out of the carriage and
packed themselves away in other parts
of the train. The smile on the face
of the young man was childlike as he
settled himself comfortably.
"Ah,' he murmured, cts grand
thing for me that I was born cleverl
I wish they'd hurry up and start"
By and by the station-master put
his head in the window, and said:
81 suppose you are the smart young
man who told the people this carriage
wasn't going?"
YES" said the clever one, and he
smiled.
Well" said the station-master,
with grin, sit isn't. The porter
heard you telling the people, and so
he uncoupled it. He thought you were
a director!"
