INDEPENDENT TELEPHONE
SITUATION BADLY MUDDLED

great competitor of the Western Union
Clarence Mackay, head of the Postal,
denied that his company was in the deal
in any way. and declared that the Post
al would remain Independent and that
it would fight as hard ever for bust
ness in completion with the Western
Union.
1t was learned that the Bell company
planned to work the telephone business
and the telegraph business in such close
connection as to make them practically
one.
The Continental Telephone and Tele-
raph company is planned to be a great
transcontinental independent telephone
line in competition with the Bell and in
competition also with other independent
lines. H. c. Stifel. of ST. Louis, who
was interested for a time in the In
diana Independent companies with
Bradley. is the head of the Continental,
day have an independent system that
will be a real competitor of the Bell
long distance lines.
1t is pointed out now that since the
Bell company and the Western Union
have been bound so closely together
through the recent purchase of the
telegraph company it is but natural
to expect that the Postal Telegraph
company, under the guidance Of -Clar-
ence Mackay, will decide that 1t also
must have telephone connections. and
that this will result in the Postal buy
ing up the independents. Mackay has
declared that the Postal will not be a
party to the scheme for merger OF all
telegraph and telephone companies into
one great monopoly in the hands of the
Bell interests. and it seems reasonable
to suppose that he will go any length
and spend any amount of money to
maintain his Independent position. The
Postal is regarded as one of the richest
corporations in the country, and one
with almost unlimited resources. so
that 1T would be in a position to carry
out such a deal If 1T decided to do so.
The story has come from New York
in the last day or two that Mackap has
disposed of all Of his holdings of stock
in the American Telegraph and Tele-
phone company. 1t was known that
the Mackay companies were among the
heaviest holders of Bell telephone
stock, although their holdings were not
sufficient to give them control of the
corporation. Mackay said, according to
the story from New York. that he did
not care to longer be connected with
company which controlled the Western
Union, the competitor of his telegraph
company. This is taken by many per-
sons to mean that he is unloading his
stock to not only get out of this en-
barrassing position, but also to clear
things up SO he can take over the in
dependent telephone companies and put
himself basis with the Bell COM
peny
president of the Morgan Independent
companies in Indiana, made an en-
phatic denial of the stories of the te1e-
phone deals. He says there is no truth
whatever in any of them.
In view of all OF these conflicting
stories one may expect to hear most
anything, but there seems to be be-
lief that there is something doing and
that it will come out before long.

NOWAK
GIVES UP
HIS JOB
Especial to THE TINES }


East Chicago, Ind, Feb. 21.-Rudolph
f. Nowak, for three years agent for
the Bartholomew e. Roesing Brewery
company. has rendered his resignation,
to take effect March 1. On that date
he will assume the position of whole
sale distributor for the Berghof Brew
ing company of Fort Wayne, Ind, and
his territory will comprise, East Chica-
go. Indiana Harbor. Whiting Hammond
L. III. Cooke of the Fort Wayne
brewery was here for three or four
days during the latter part of last
week. and the final arrangements were
completed by which Mr. Nowak takes
charge of his company. The Berghof
people have only recently entered the
field in northern Lake county, but in
tend to make a vigorous and persistent
tight for. at least, their share of the
business and to that end selected Mr..
Nowak to act as their representative
on account not only of his popularity
and wide acquaintances. but for his
well-known responsiveness in business
affairs. Mr.. Nowak's success in his
present position attracted the atten-
ton of the Fort Wayne people and thew
decided to secure him at any cost. Mr..
Nowak resides in Hammond but he lis
as well known in the other cities in
his territory as in his home town, and
his legion of friends wish him all sue
cess in his new position.

LAZAR DOES
SPEAR ACT

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Feb. 21.-John
Lazar, an employee of the Inland steel
mills. stirred up Indiana Harbor yes
terday when, in fit of mental aberra-
ton, he escaped ran out OF his room
in Mike Cohens boarding house and
defied anybody 20 lay a hand on him.
The crazy man was dressed only in his
underwear and carried four-foot
iron rod shaply pointed and threat
ened to spear the first man approach
ing him. He was finally overpowered
by railroad men at the Michigan Cen
trail yard office and from there he was
taken in an engine to Michigan. From
here he was taken in an ambulance to
the police station. He was still in the
station today.

TIMES BUREAU,
AT THE STATE CAPITOL.

=
Indianapolis. Ind, Feb. 21-It APP
pears as though the independent tele-
phone situation in Indiana is about to
become as badly muddled as ever, be-
cause of the numerous reports and ru-
mors that have been circulated in the
past few days in regard to alleged new
deals involving the ownership of the In
dtana.independent telephone companies
Two principal stories have been sent
out by telegraph during the last two or
three days One, which seems to have
originated in Cleveland. said that a deal
was on by which the firm of j. p. Nor
gan and company, of New York, would
sell their independent telephone inter
ests in Indiana and Ohio to the Cont
mental Telephone and Telegraph com
pany, which, in turn. would sell the
properties to the Postal Telegraph COM
pany.
The other story, which came out In
the papers, was from New York and
said that J. P. Morgan and company had
sold the telephone properties to the
Postal telegraph company direct. The
Continental company was not men
toned in connection with the deal.
It is safe to expect that other stories
in the next few days since they have
gotten such good start already. II
would not be at all surprising to those
who have watched the progress of the
telephone manipulation in the central
states during the last few monthsto see
some such a deal take place, for there
are few persons who are willing to
believe that j. P Morgan would buy
sup a lot of telephone properties and
operate them merely as an investment
1t Is the general belief that the Morgan
firm bought the properties for specula-
tive purposes.
The Indiana properties involved in
the recent deal and which passed into
the hands of the Morgan house are the
Indianapolis Telephone company, the
local company, and the New Long Dis
lance Telephone company, which either
owns of controls practically all of the
independent long distance lines in the
state, and which. through it's connec-
tions and investments. practically con-
trolssthe entire independent telephones
situated in the state. When it was an
nounced last December that James S.
Bradley, of Toledo, who controlled these
companies, had sold his control to a
New York banking firm. 1t was general
ly supposed that the real purchaser was
the Bell telephone company. which is
the American Telegraph and Telephone
company. This was denied, however
A few days later member of the Nor
gan firm became a member of the board
of directors of the Bell company, and
still another few days and the an
nouncement was made that the real
purchaser OF the Independent companies
was the Morgan firm. This was pointed
out as proof that the Bell company was
obtaining monopoly on the telephone
business throughout the country. About
this time another announcement was
made that the Bell company had bought
control of the Western Union Telegraph
company, and that the great wire mer-
ger would probably include also the
Postal Telegraph company, the only
