TELEGRAPHING so WORDS
AT THE COST OF 10
New Night Letter Telegram Inaugur-
ated by Western Union.

Business men and the public gen.
new night letter telegram, inaugurated
by the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany- One may now file for night
transmission a message OF so words
or less at the daytime rate for 10
words. The message is delivered
early the following morning. The
public Is indebted for this innovation
to the American Telephone & Tele-
graph company which, late in 1909,
acquired very substantial interest
in the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany. 1t is not generally known that
a telephone conversation can be car
ried on over the same wire over which
a telegram is being coincidently dis
patched, without the slightest inter
ference one with the other. A study
of the possibilities of cooperative use
of the equipment of both companies
is now in progress, and it Is antici-
pated that this will lead to other in
novations quite as conducive to the
public welfare as to the economical
advantage of the companies them
selves. One of the most interesting
financial documents of the year is the
annual report of the American Tele-
phone C Telegraph company for the
year ended Dec. 81, 1909. 1t shows
net earnings of the company for the
year amounting to s30,190,7 65. For %
years past, the dividends have never
been less than ~ per cent annually.
while for the past four years they
have been 8 per cent. The report
shows a marked reduction in the
amount of convertible bonds outstand-
ing-s1O1, S61 900 of the $3.50, 0o0,0 600
sold has been handed in for CONVEX
sion, leaving outstanding Dec. 81, 1909,
only $4S, 139, 600. Up to March 80,
this had been further reduced by near
ly s4,000,000. One of the astonishing
facts presented is the statement that
the entire outstanding capital OF the
American Telephone & Telegraph
company represents actual cash paid
in by its shareholders in excess of the
