Taking the two services" said August
q. Guthem, who conducted the examina-
ton OF witnesses tell us IL the leased
wire is not more expeditions and the
reason"
Yes and no." answered Mr.. Adams
mo leased wire could possibly be faster
than the public wire from the New York
stock Exchange to the Chicago Stock
Exchange, or the wire to New Orleans
or the wire TO London. The ordinary
public wire Is slower for n variety OF
reasons. Public business takes n rou-
tine course. while the broker with a leased
wire can get his business away when
he feels like H."
He said he would estimate the value
OF leased wire service to the lessee as
greater than the ordinary service to the
public user under present conditions. bui
he could not say that this value entered
into the computation of the rate to be
paid. He said that leased wire business
was not solicited by the Postal Telegraph
Company.
Supt. Charles Wilson. who has charge
OF the long distance service OF the
American Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, will be witness this morning
6ome of the complainants may be called
10 tell what they know OF misuse OF the
leased wire system. The hearings In this

Use Of Leased Lines Is
Hard to Detect.

But Offcrcr of idea Adds That

This Plan.

NJ. G. Rority. assistant to the vice

second ce-prcsidcnt of the Postal Tele-

Commissioner Henry clay Hall at a hear
Ing in the Custom House yesterday that
It was extremely difficult to detect abuses
OF the leased wire system such as are
complained of by the Grain Dealers AS
ISOLATION Of Chicago and others who have
asked Tor an investigation.
The complaint is that wires are leased
by the companies at a fiat rate for certain
specified purposes. but that the lessees
constantly violate the contract by per-
hitting other business to be done over
the wires business that is really public
business and which should be paid for as
such. Both MIR Rorlty and MIR. Adams
admitted that such violations of the con
tract are committed. but declared that IN
spite OF frequent efforts no way has been
found to prevent them.
MIR. Rority said that his company $
leased wires had been policed as well Ms
possible and that violators OF the rule
limiting the use of the wire 10 the bust
ness Of tho lessee had been rebukcd. bu,
that So far as he knew no leases had been
