AGAIN AsK FOR GuY POLE.
Street Commissioner VIII Consider
Wire COmpany's Request This
Time.


The Delaware and Atlantic Tele-
graph and Telephone Company, which
was refused a permit to erect a guy
pole at Pennsylvania avenue and
Union streets, at the meeting of the
directors of the Street and Sewer De-
psrtment last week, made q second
application to the Board this morning
for the desired permission.
II was explained that the B. and Q.
Railroad Company, in making i'm
provements TO its property. were
about to cut down the trees upon
which the telephone company had
guyed their cables. There was a
right angle to be turned. and some
support for wires was an absolute
necessity. The company did not in
tend to put up a regular guy stub,
which is a short pole slanting at an
angle Of so to 80 degrees, and with
an anchor back of It. They would
erect a long pole imbedded in con-
crete, with two cross arms, and not
differing in appearance from ordinary
poles. In the course of time It would
also be used for ordinary wires.
As II was not clear In the applica-
tion that an ordinary guy stub
against which the Board had decided
adversely, was not meant, the Board
referred the matter to Street. Com
missioner Pierson for adjustment
Ninety-five per cent Of the plant
said the company, is underground.

BIG TRUST OF
MAGAZINES
Official Denial Of the Morgan
Firm Regarded With
Amusement
FINANCIERS SEE CHANCE
OF EARNING BIG PROFITS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
NEW YORK, Feb. 7.--Oficial de-
malls from Morgan g. Company that
the firm was trying to get strange
hold" on the muck raking" maga-
zines were received with amusement
by Wall Street today. The reason Is
that the denial admitted the chief al
legation in the matter, namely that
Thomas W Lamont the newest part
ner IN the big international banking
concern, was financially interested in
the Crowell Company which has just
bought the American Magazine. No
one could be found IN Wall Street who
doubted that Morgan g. Company are
interested in magazines and the denial
was regarded as the usual diplomatic
one.
But Morgan and his partners are
not TO have a monopoly Of the periodi-
cal literature fleld
Thomas f. Ryan is TO be a potent
factor, II the rumors In the fnanclal
wrold are 10 be given credence. II
developed today that II was not alone
for the purpose Of muzzling the maya
zines that the big fnanciers were in
the market to buy. Instead they have
discovered that by applying trust
methods to the magazine and book
world fully as enormous profits are to
be extracted as have come from oil
sugar or tobacco. This win precipi-
tate q fight between the financial in
terests who want control and will ma
terially benefit those publishers who
are willing 10 sell.
Plan For Big Profits.
The plan is a simple one. With
| the big magazines controlled by .
single group Of interests the club plar
of selling will be developed Maga.
zines will be grouped as follows: A
woman's magazine, current arairI
magazine and fiction publication. IC
this group will be added a set of books
and the canvassers will offer the en-
tire lot on the usual plan OF a dollal
down and a dollar a month. The can
vassers' commission will be ftteei
per cent. so that he can earn, for th'
same exertion he would have 20 pu
forth in selling a dollar and hal
magazine. Ave times the amount h
would get from the magazine alone
This, of course, would give the com
bination concerns the monopoly OF tn
best canvassers.
The big distributing companie
which put the magazines on the mar
ket are also TO be the objective OF IN
fnanciers, II Is said. The ideal cir
culation OF a successful magazine
fifty per cent. stand sales and MT
per cent. by subscription. Therefor

The opening scene, i'll which the king
