The state health officials said to-day
that. considering the possibilities Of the

age did not make such tremendous
quantity. They said that with popula-

Witness Tells of Effort by Amer

All Independents.

Chicago, Nov 9O-An attempt by the
American Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany TO absorb independents with an APP
praised value Of $500 10000 was made a
year and half ago. according to b. G..
Hubben. president of the Federal Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company Of Buffalo.
who testified here to-day for the govern
ment in its prosecution Of the American
Company on charges of violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
Mr.. HubbeI asserted that Theodore y.
Vail. president of the Western Union
Telegraph Company and 4 director OF the
American Company. and H. 2. Davidson
member of J. p. Morgan & Co, tried
10 engineer the huge deal.
Mr.. Hubben SAID that Mr.. Vail appeared
at a meeting of owners OF thirty OF the
larger independent telephone companies
in Chicago about eighteen months ago
and suggested that there might be a dlVi-
sion of territory by the American and
independent companies. The plan was in
tended 10 stop profit cutting competition,
the witness said:
1T happened that l was one Of the
independent telephon. people at this
meeting" said Mr.. Hubbell. "Mr Vail
talked quite a while and pointed out the
advantages Of division Of the nation
into various territories and the assign
ment Of either the American Company or
a group of the independent companies TO
exclusive control of one or another OF
those territories.
THE upshot Of his talk was the APP
pointment of a committee Of seven, OF
which l was one. to confer further with
Mr.. Vail, and also with Mr. Dawson, in
New York. on possible method OF adopt
ing such a scheme.
Such a conference was held in New
York, and arrangements were made 10
appraise the value of the twenty thou
sand independent companies involved, and
also to divide them into classes. The APP
praisal was necessary 10 make way for a
readjustment of the stock holdings Of the
independents. which would go out of bust
ness if the plans matured."
The testimony brought out that the APP
praised value Of the twenty thousand
companies was $fptVO'tp's anu 'iA0' 49,
American companys holdings were esti-
mated Il 500. 100000.
Pending the furtherance OF such plans
the independents and the American com

tee of seven, agreed to truce" Mr.. Hub
bell continued. THE principal provision
OF this truce was that the American COM
