Mitchell.--Mayor Hitchcock is in re-
ceipt from communication which
states that the Dakota Central Tele-
phone company has applied to the
state board Of railroad commissioners
to fix a telephone rate to be applica-
BILE in this city after the expiration Of
the present franchise on May II. The
law gives the commissioners the pow
er to fix rates in case of controversy
which cannot be settled, but the fact
that the franchise will have expired In
this city and that the company, II
granted new rates by the commission
ers, will be operating without fran
chise, makes it doubtful, so lawyers
here state, If the board would have
Jurisdiction in this case. It Is gener-
ally conceded that the new rate which
the board will name, will be higher
than the one now in force. It has been
intimated that the majority Of the peo-
pie Of the city will take out their
phones if the rates are raised and will
thus support the stand taken by the
city council. At any rate, all the
phones in all the city offices and build
ings will be removed on May II, in
GLIDING all fire alarm phones and q
new and Independent electric fire
alarm system will be installed.

Woman in Admission Tells of
Alleged Frauds Committed
by Her Husband

Admission, August 1.--(SpeeiaL)-A story
of alleged fraud in which she claims she
was an unwilling participant under com
pulsion by her husband, w. C. Sites, alias
Max c. Elliott. was related by Mrs Sites
alias Blaine Miller, nee Elaine Elizabeth
Barton, in this city Friday morning. She
Is registered at present at the American
hotel, claiming that she came here to ped
die smoothing irons for B. S. Silverstein
and to escape publicity at Gadsien, where
her husband will be tried before the fed
eral court on d charge of using the mails
to defraud and getting money under false
pretenses.
Mrs. Sites was reared in Boston and in
early life she was attracted by the glare
of the footlights, she says, and studied
under Sites. After she had won recogni-
tion on the stage. she says, her husband
began to write letters to managers, put
advertisements in theatrical magazines
and resort to other measures to get her
positions. Whenever he would get a fa-
vorable reply, she alleges, he would call
for expense money, transportation ad-
vanoes. etc, and when this was received
he would pocket the money, change his
address and advertise under another
name.
Very often, Mrs. Sites alleges. her hus-
band would force her to reply to the
letters he would receive, and on one oc-
casion when she refused to comply with
his demand she alleges, he threw a type
writer at her. She says they were mar
ried at Fort Payne. in this state but
that she will hereafter try to earn her
own livelihood

BY HOLLAND.

New York, August 1.-(Special Pre-
sumably Howard Elliott. who, on Septem-
Der /, is to become president of the New
Haven Railroad company and who, later
in the year will be named chairman of
the board of directors, will carry out the
plans for the electrification of the main
line of the New Haven road from New
York to New Haven and If he does the
company will be operating exclusively
by electricity their passenger trains be-
tween New Haven and New York. dis
tance of rs miles, within another year.
Whatever may be done with certain al
lied interests which President Mellen
brought into the New Haven system, the
various trolley lines of New England for
instance, the equipment of the main line
of the New Haven road with electricity
will become one of the traditional fea-
lures of the Mellen administration He
was the first railway president In the
United States to dare to experiment be-
yond the commands of the statutes with
electricity as the motive power for large
passenger service and upon a main line.
The New Haven Railroad company was
compelled by law to comply with the COM
mand of the state statutes passed in 1903,
which compelled all railroads entering
New York city to abandon the use of
steam locomotives withing five years and
sible to operate trains running into or 60
ing out of New York by electric energy
AS the New Haven railroad by perpet-
ual contract with the Harlem uses 10 miles
of the Harlem tracks reaching from the
northern boundaries of New York city to
the Grand Central terminal, 1t was COM
PEELED so to equip its cars as to make 1t
possible to operate its passenger trains by
electricity that whole distance of ten
miles.
The law compelled 1t do no more than
this. The New Haven was not required
TO make any other expenditure than that
entailed by the equipment of the cars so
that they could be electrically propelled
The electric plant itself was to be installed
by the Vanderbilt people. since they
Haven cars passed to and from New York
city for distance of 10 miles.
Mellen's First Proposition
1t was almost exactly a coincidence in
point of time when Mr.. Mellen took the
when the New York statute was passed
which compelled the use of electricity
within the boundaries of New York city.
The work of Installing an electrical plant
and of providing the necessary equipment
motor cars and the like entailed the work
ing out of an absolutely original scientific
proposition. When the state legislature
adopted this statute the inventors had not
even remotely approached the problem Of
providing motor cars and electrical equip
ment adequate for such service as is done
upon the main lines of the great railroad
systems.
First of ALL there were two scientific
methods to consider. One had as its basic
