EXPERT
EXPLAINS THEORY
OF PHONE TROUBLE

In connection with the accident
which happened last week in the
telephone office at GunnisJn which
resulted in the death BY electric
shock Of one Of the operators and
the burning Of the fingers Of anoth-
er young lady no. an operator, the
question arises as to how the foreign
electric current entered the bui d.
ing. Investigation shows that the
primary electric wire Of the electric
light had been in arcing con act
with the secondary at two places,
one on the transformer pole at the
back Of the telephone office, which
feeds that building, and the other at
a transformer pole close TO the Ma
sonic han In both cases the in
sulatiun of these wires shows marks
Of burning and puncture At the
same time It is known that some
balins wire had gotten in contact
with the secondary circuit which
feeds the telephone office and that
this was hanging down on the tin
roof Of a shed. which resulted in
several large burned holes in the
metal roof and side These con-
