THE TELEPHONE TRUST.

The attorney general of the Unit
ca States has instituted suit to dis
solve the American Telephone &
Telegraph Company, the so. called
Bell Telephone Trust" which now
ows and operates the Western Union
Telegraph Company and has a mono
poly of the telegraph business almost
throughout the entire country and
charges its own prices, prices which
are excessive in most instances. The
government charges in its bill that
the joint corporation and its sub
salaries with absorbing independent
telephone companies to destroy
competition and create monopoly
in the States of Oregon, Washing
ton, Montana and Idaho, in viola
ton of the Sherman law. This is
the first effort on the part of the
Federal government to suppress the
telephone trust. 1t has had its own
way in the past. In North Carolina
it has been behaving itself for sew
eral years on account OF the law en-
acted through the influence of the
late Henry Brown, in which a stat
ute was enacted refusing to permit
it to give franks which the.Bell Com
pany had been using freely in towns
where it had competition to crush
out all opposition.
The encouragement asks the
court to compel the Bell companies
. to relinquish control of the hide
pendent Telephone Company Of
Seattle, the Home Telephone Com
pany of Puget Sound, the North
western Long Distance Telephone
Company, the Interstate, Consoli-
dated Telephone Company and the
Independent Long Distance Tele-
phone Company. If necessary to
accomplish this dlsst luton the court
is asked to appoint a receiver for the
properties.
Attorney General McReynold S
Well-knoWn view that the pro rata
distribution of the stocks of the
Standard Oil and Tobacco trusts did
not bring about a real dissolution of
these combinations are strongly re-
Elected in this suit in which he
specifically requests the court to re-
quire the telephone trust to dispose
of the stocks, bonds and physical
properties of the independents to
persons not connected with the Bell
Companies as stockholders or other
wise. Asks for the restoration as
far as practicable of competitive con-
ditions existing prior to the consol.
dations, and that the Bell Com.
panies, their officers and agents be
: enjolned from acquiring interest in
or control of the companies relin-
quished.

Squire Minor Performed Ceremony


Squire J, B. Minor was called up-
OH to use all his talent in marrying a
couple from High Point who were
deaf and dumb. When Squire
Minor asked them the usual ques-
tons they did not answer, although
they stood there to all intents and
purposes absolutely prepared for the
ceremony. Squire Minor told them
to join their hands, but they didn t
move. Finally he ascertained the
reason and joined their hands for
them. He tried signal language
they couldn't understand, as last
resort he wrote the questions out
which were duly signed in the pres
ence of witnesses. The couple
were Miss Edna l.. Knott and E. / i.

Tuesday night was the second of
the week ON which the mercury drop
ped we'll down below the freezing
point, and at o'clock Wednesday
morning the thermometer at Bither's
pharmacy indicated IS degrees above
zero. The effect of the fall in tenn
perature was noticeable on the Ken
nebec river, which showed more ice
than it has at any time this fall. Some
ice was noticed along the west shore,
but over on the east shore the water
in the cove below the old fort was
frozen, and a broad sheet of ice ex-
tended well out into the river, and
held it's own against the tide and cur
rent during the day. Down below the
State hospital wharf there was more
ice, and there was also much small
ice floating in the river during the
day. A report from Gardiner stated
that the river below the Gardiner and
Randolph bridge was closed by ice,
which at noon showed no indications
Of going out, but that the tug Ariel
was expected to come up and break it
up in order to keep a channel open,
as there was a barge discharging coal
at Hallowell, and the towage company
which operates that tug had a con-
tract to get the barge to Bath. One
or two more nights with the temper
ature below freezing would close the
river to navigation.

if the barge Pickering, which was tow
ed down river, Tuesday afternoon,
would be the last craft to leave Angus
ia, this season. The schooner Emma S.
Briggs is on the way from South Am
boy, y. j., with a cargo of coal for
the Augusta State hospital, but as the
craft was in collision, Monday, at Vine
yard Haven. and lost her jibboom it
is not believed that she has yet made
her way up around Cape Cod, unless
she was towed. and judging from pres
ent conditions in the river as regards
ice, it is thought that the chances of
the schooner's reaching Augusta are
slight.
