Telephone Trust Agreement
Doesn't Surprise Business;
Starts a Boom in Stocks

NEW YORK, December a0.-Informa-
ton from Washington that the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company had
agreed to give up its interests in the West
ern Union and to effect reorganization
to conform with the recommendations OF
the federal authorities, was no surprise
to financial men, although unexpected at
this time.
Financial men said today that the sep
aration of the company into its parts
would not be a great difficulty because
of their distinct organization. The diff
Guilty would be, however, in devising an
equitable plan for distribution of the Sc

run from two TO three times as high as
in other countries. The local telephone
rates are twice high and the long dis
lance rates are from four to eight times
as nigh. while our postal rates are among
the lowest in the world. The action of
the Bell company will not reduce a single
telephone or telegraph rate in the I'm ted
states. and so the public necessities for
legislative action to postalize these
methods of communication, as they have
been in nearly all other countries are
not affected in the least
The whole subject will be thrashed out

COULDN'T IGNORE BOYS PLEA.
Couple in Divorce Proceedings Give
Son Christmas Treat.

NEW YORK. December 20.-The mere
fact that they were principals in an
action for separation didn't hinder Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Levene from going on
Christmas shopping trip yesterday with
their six-year-old boy Sydney. MRS
Levene is suing her husband, an auto
mobile salesman, in the supreme court
for a separation on charges that he was
cruel to her.
When recess was called Mrs Levene
left the courtroom with the boy. He
found his father in the hall and grasping
his arm childishly remarked: Lots OF
boys are going to see Santa Claus this
year. but l guest ] won't.
The parents looked at each other and
after a moment of silence took the boy
from the building. They found toy
shop and bought Sydney train of cars
and a big red bell. besides lots of other
things dear to his heart
Then they went back to court and the
trial was resumed.

we have always believed them to be in
strict conformity to law, and for that
reason we are now adjusting them to the
law as understood and interpreted by
the Attorney General.
I'VE are confident that under the pro-
posed changes neither the Bell system
nor the Western Union will suffer and
that both will continue to give the same
and increasing efficient service to the
public.

after thorough consideration, be found to
be within the law.
IN relinquishing the Western Union,
while we do SO with great regret, we
have the satisfaction of knowing that it
is in better ply steal and financial con-
dition than it was when we took 1t over.
and that the shareholders soon will be
benefited in some measure by what has
been done.
I'VE can only speak in the highest
terms of the consideration with which we
were treated by the Attorney General
throughout the whole negotiations.
