WAIVERS ASKED UPON
 JIM VAUGHN AND QUINN
New York Americans Plan to Get Rid of Pitchers Who
 Have Been Useless

President Frank Farrell, of the New York American League club, has de- cided to clean house, and as prelim- mary step yesterday afternoon asked waivers on Pitchers Jim Vaughn and Jack Quinn. Vaughn is the giant southpaw from Texas who for two years has disappointed Hal Chase's prediction that he would become the marvel of the age. Quinn was one of the best pitchers on the Yankee team last year. He won eighteen and lost twelve games, dropping six in a row at the tail end of the season be- cause of wretched support. Both Quinn and Vaughn fell down badly this season after early Spring prom ise of sensational nature.
 It is very unlikely that either Vaughn or Quinn will be allowed to get out of the American League even should New York desire to dispense waivers a1ave been asked signifies lit tle. For the past several years Frank Chance each season has asked waivers on Ed Reulbach only to spur this i'm different fellow to his very best en- deavors. Perhaps the Yankees have a trade in sight and the waiver re- quest is only a ''feeaer'' to the other clubs in the league. Vaughn is the only veteran southpaw with the club. and the Hill Men for several seasons have been very shy on port side tal eTlt

 Sound Pirates Sentenced.
 The three Sound pirates who arriv- ed in New Haven harbor the day be- fore Labor Day, in a stolen launch, chock full of goods stolen from boats along the New England coast, were sentenced to States prison Tuesday by Judge Gager at New Haven. They were charged with two counts, the theft of the motor-boat and theft of articles from other boats. Charles Creator, whose home is in Sound Beach, and Fred Willett, were sen fenced to from two to four years for the theft of the boat and one year on the second count. The third man Charles Russell, who joined the others at Providence was sentenced to from one to two years in States Prison on the second count as he pleaded guilty to the theft of the boat. The men will begin their sentence as soon as they serve jail sentences of 60 days each.

Destroyed by Fire.


 Prompt work Wednesday morning, saved the lives of thirty-five horses, and resulted in the removal of large number of vehicles, harnesses etc., from the livery stable of A. Solmans, of South Norwalk. which was later practically destroyed by fire.
 Injured by Boys Franks.
 As the result of some boyish pranks, Ethel Boles, the seven year old daugh- ter of ME. William Boles of Greenwich, was badly injured Wednesday evening. Several youngsters had long piece of wire, and were about to throw it up over the trolley wire, when the girl came down Mill street. The wire caught her around the neck, and she was thrown violently to the ground, several volts passing through her body. It was found that the girls neck and face were badly burned and she was considerably bruised about the body. It was the boys intention to throw the wire up over the trolley wire and then get people to take hold of it and re- ceive an electric shock.

A provisional modification of an arrangement which has existed for many years has been reached between the Western Union Telegraph Com pany, The Anglo-American Cable Company and the Direct U. s. Cable Company, under which the cable sys- tems of these companies now worked exclusively in business connection with each other, but operated and maintained separately, will be oper- ated eip direct physical connection with each other and with the Western Union land system.
 Two objects are to be attained by this arrangement:
 Eirsf, more efficient and scononni- cal operation.
 Second, fhe introduction of new forms of seruics to the aduanfage of fke public.
 The Trans-AfLanfic Gable Situation and Competition
 The transatlantic cable situation is as follows IN
 The Mackay group of seven ca blcs, including the German cables, owned by or worked in physical con- nection with the telegraph lines of that company form one system.
 The French cables comprise an in- dependent system, using both the Western Union and the Mackay land lines for their United States connee- tion. A
 h competition with these is the Westefn Union group of cables, eight In e, owned by three separate com panies, two of which are British companies owning five of the eight cables.
 TiDo only of fhe British osOned cables terminate in the United States and aR of ther1 dfe entiFsly sdepen- denf on fhe Wesfern Union for their connection sUifh any telegraph system. or for their reaching any centre of busine1s, and are noU lOorked exclu- siDeiy, 90 far ar business is concerned, upifh Jhe kYeseeyzs 7Ekxiou.s
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-09-15

There is no cable monopoly pos- sible. The three systems-the Western Union, the French and the Mackay-win continue to exist.
 The Mackay Companies is a hold ing organization with no physical property, but exercising through stock ownership, lease or contract, opexat- ing control of various companies owning land lines and cables which make up the Mackay System. Through this control all the various properties are operated as one system to great be given by these same companies if operated separately.
 The French cables form another system.
 The Western Union System, under the proposed arrangement for one operating control over the present segregated units, will be enabled to make two distinct advances in the transatlantic cable business:
 BETTER SERVICE. This will be insured by more efficient and econom- ical working resulting from single direction over the operations of both cables and land lines.
 2-PUBLIC ADVANTAGES The greater part of the cable capacity has been and is now unutilized. It will continue to lie dormant and unutilized under existing conditions and tradi- tions. The Western Union purposes to make these wasted facilities useful to the public by means of new kinds of cable service.
 In addition, the Western Union in- tends to nationa1ize its land lines by opening them to all transatlantic cable companies.

Efficient Seruice Requires
 Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements it is essential not only that there be at all times sufficient cable facilities, under one control, but that they should be operated interchangeably with each other and in close physical connec- ton with land hnes as one system. Ample spare facilities are necessary to provide against the very frequent cable interruptions.
 Neither thsWestern Union nor any one of the companies of the Western Union group has, independently of the others, facilities enough to handle the business which at times any one company might be called upon to take care of, because of some particular rush of business, or because of some cable interruption. Nor could any one Company furnish all the direct circuits necessary for efficient service, all though the combined facilities of these Companies are ample if they could be used supplementary to each other and interchangeably.
 As it is, each company operates it's own cables through separate and dis tinct. offices and under separate and distinct management. All llinterchange of business is by actual transfer of the business from one company to the other, with the consequent delay and interruption of a service in which seconds are valuable.
