GREAT SUMS MADE
IN TELEPHONE IN
VESTNENTS
Wireless Telephone Com
pany Points Out What
Bell Stock Did for
the Public.

Among the most interested spectators
Of the exhibition given by the Collins
Wireless telephone at the recent cleo
tricaI and national business shows held
in New York were a number OF people
who had had an opportunity to pur-
chase Bell telephone stock at its in
ception at u surprisingly low figure
Had they invested even a small sum
they today would be independent The
remarkably large profits made by the
original purchasers of Bell telephone
stock is generally known Even after
Bell had demonstrated the efficiency
and practibiIity Of his instruments to
prominent men, they refused him aid
1t has often been stated in print
that Chas. NJ. Wells, 4 prominent New
York attorney and member OF the Bar
association was offered by a client a.
certificate of 80 shares of Bell stock in
lieu of a $500 prOmissory note which
had gone to protest. Mr.. Wells re-
fused the stock, and q compromise was
afterWaTd effected WHEREBY the pro-
tested note was paid off in small month
~ payments and the last payment had
not been effected when the stock had
advanced by leaps and bounds to over
$4,000 per share.
Statisticians have endeavored TO COM
pute the actual profits which were made
by the investment of a few hundred
dollars in the original company. On ac-
count OF the numerous stock bonuses
III subsidiary companies, stock dividends
and extra dividends it has been almost
impossible to compute the profits of
such an investment. 1t has been claimed
that 500 invested in the original COM
pany would now be worth in the neigh
bOrhood OF $4,000 to S100, 600. Wheth
er the investment of 500 would now be
worth $4,000, $4,000 or 100000 is of
little Importance. The fact remains
broug ht wealth and independence to
the few who had the courage OF their
convictions and il went down into his
tory as one of the record breaking
profitable investments of the decade.
The fact that the Continental Tele-
graph and Telephone Co. has contract
ed TO erect a wireless station on the
Guaranty Trust building, and render
service is indicative of its successful
operation. This is also said TO be backed
by the operation of 40 other stations
along the coast
The permanent office is located in the
same building where the officers are
demonstrating the commercial posi-
bilities of wireless for long distance
service, as well as for the isolated
mine or ranch which cannot now be 4
reached because of the heavy expense
of poles and Wires.
-he moral suggested by these people
is: Profit by the experience of 9TH
ers."

declined to make a statement saving
that attorney Charles Patterson had told
her TO send anyone to see her husband
for a statement. Between sobs she told
broken story of the incidents which
led up to the shooting and her version
of the cause.
Il never knew him to have a gun" she
said. IF I had known he was armed |
would have taken it away from him,
but never suspected such a thing. He
said nothing when the disposseSsfon
notice was given him but later took his
hat and said he was going out to see his
lawyer about dt. If 1 had known what
was going to happen 1 would have got
the money and paid up. I intended 10
pay Tuesday. as l had some things
could have got the money on. We had
been behind before and had paid up and
we would have done it this time IL they
had only given US a chance.
Wife Says Size Thinks Him Crazy.
nen tho notice was handed him. I
begun I" cTy but he told me not 10 do il
and he started to sing. saying Laugh
and the world laughs with you, weep and
you weep alone I had been in bed all
day, for l have not been well and the
doctor had ordered me to go TO the hos
pital for an operation. This and then
TO be ordered out of the house WAS what
was worrying him l believe he must
have been crazy, for he was not that
kind of q man and he never drank any-
thing in his life. He never had a single
word with Mr.. Kohlberg or anyone else
that ] know of and I don't think he
knew what he was doing when he shct.
I can't Imagine what lie meant when he
said he had TO do it after he was ar
rested. Mr. Patterson, the attorney. |
said I could go to see him this morning |
but he was not in jail and I could not |
see him. 1 do not know where they |
took him."
Mrs. Leech was almost prostrateI from /
grief over the affair and the efforts Of |
the women to quiet her were of no avail |

anyone and was good man.
