The total dividends and interest
paid during the year 1912 amounted
to only 6-1 per cent. on the average
of its outstanding obligations, and to
less than ) per cent. on the average
value Of its assets.
The actual cash which has been
paid into the treasury of the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany on account OF the capital obi
cations now outstanding amounts
to S22,O00,O0O more than the par of
such outstanding obligations.
The Associated Companies collect
ed from the public and paid back in
taxes over 100000 during the
year 1912.
The steadily increasing necessities
OF the public not only for additional
but for new telephone service can
only be met by new construction, IN
volving capital outlay. To meet
these demands during the six and
one-half years from 1907 to June,
1913, inclusive, the increase in tele-
phone plant was as follows: Toll
line wire increased from 100000
miles to 2,242,OO0 miles; exchange
wire increased from 100000 miles
to 13,OOO,OOO; the number of ex-
change stations, increased from =

creased from $4,000 to 100000.
The number of independent COM

tenn is about $4,000. The number OF
employees in the Bell System, not
including the employees of connected
companies, on December 81, 1912,
was 14l 900.
During the same period the NUM-
Der OF shareholders OF the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company,

from 1900 to about $4,000. About
1900 shareholders hold less than

Il by resolution, the whole matter was
left in the hands of the commander.
This resolution is recorded in the min
utes of the convention 'to do as he
thought best with it now in posses
sion of the adjutant general.
"For two weeks after the reunion
the applicants came in slowly. In
this time 1 issued circular letter to
my comrades, saying they must send

EMULATEs MISS EMILY DIVISION.
Han Who Tries to Stop Ascot Race
May Forfeit Life.-Jockey Es-
capes With Life.

Ascot, England, June 19.-The race
for the Ascot gold cup, one of the most
coveted prizes of the English turf, was
marred today by an incident similar
to that which brought the Kings horse
down in the Derby, when Emily Wild
ing Division sought and found death
in the cause of the militant suffra-
gettes. In this case it was a man.
Harold Hewitt, who emulated Miss
Davison's feat.
According to the Ascot police, Hew-
lit was not connected with the suffra
gettes, but was of unsound mind and
of a type peculiarly liable to be car
ried away by the initiative impulse.
He suffered the same penalty for his
temerity as did Miss Davison-a frac-
ture at the base of the skull.
At late hour tonight Hewitt was
lying unconscious in a hospital after
undergoing an operation in the for
lorn hope that his life might be saved.
Royalty at the Race.
King George and Queen Mary, Ex-
King Manuel, of Portugal; the Crown
Prince and Crown Princess of Sweden,
the Duke of Connaught, Governor
General of Canada, and Princess Pa
tricia and number of lesser royalties
were watching the race from the royal
stand.
Coming down the straight, August
Belment's famous colt, Tracery, son
of Rock Sand, shot into the lead,
seemingly assured of an easy victory.
Suddenly a man jumped from the
rails waving red fag with one hand
and with the other pointing a revolver
at Jockey Whally, who had the mount
on Tracery.
"Pull up! Pull up or I'll shoot you!"
the man shouted.
Whally did his best to divert the
horses's course, but failed. Tracery,
striking the man full in the chest with
his shoulder, sent him flying several
yards. Whally shot clear out of the
saddle but rolled to safety under the
rails.
Meantime the other horses came
laundering on. one of them giving the
author of all the trouble, who lay
spra Wing, terrible kick on the head
in passing.
Save for some bruises, Whally was
uninjured, and when the King sent for
him he walked stiffly to the royal box
to receive congratulations On his es-
cape,
Hewitt is a cultured man, and is pos
sessed of Independent means. He had,
however, shown evidences of religious
mania. He had a diary, in which the
last entry was made rev hourS De-
fore his mad act. It read:
Religious Fanatic.
ooh, the WEAKNESS of these races!
If 1 fail in my intention, to stop the
gold cup, hope I shall not hurt any
of these jockeys. These races bring
out all that is worst in humanity"
In another entry he refers to his in
tention ito give my body as a protest
against society convention
The Ascot cup was won by the five
year-old Prince Palatine, owned by T.
Pitkington. The race was at two and
a half miles, with $500 sovereigns
added.
The assailant of Tracery was an eff
feminate-looking youth of about 20
years old. Officials of the militant suf-
fragett organization say they have no
knowledge of the man. Cards found in
the injured mans clothing bear the
name and address, Hewitt, Trinity
college, Cambridge" .4r %
