THE TRANSC SENTIMENTAL
& TELEPHONE A SUCCESS :

I -
| So universal is the telephone that
four persons out of five, perhaps,
would assert that one can telephone
anywhere in the country is he has
the money to pay the bill, but until
the other day that was not true.
For the first time transcontinental,
and consequently universal, tele-
phone conversation became reality
several weeks ago, when Alexander
Graham Bell, sitting in the office of
President Vail of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company in
New York, talked to Thomas A.
Watson in San Francisco.
In a little workshop in Boston,
June 2, 1875, twas Alexander Ora
ham Bell who spoke and Thomas A.
Watson who heard the firts message
ever sent by telephone. Come here
Watson, want you," were the first
words ever conveyed over a wire.
That wire was only sixty feet in
length. The line used the other day
is 3,400 miles long. -. .z- 81.
A bit of sentiment that entered in
to the celebration of the opening of
the transcontinental line was that
the sixty feet of wire used in the
first talk in Boston was spliced into
the line, thirty feet of it at New
York and thirty feet at San Fran
cisco. -
Ever since the telephone was dis
| covered, America, the land of its
birth, has kept the lead, using more
telephones than all the rest of the
world. More than twenty-one mil
lion miles of wire in this country now
unite nine million telephones in TO-
900 cities, towns and villages. All
the rest of the world has less than
five million telephones. -
In 1876 the longest telephone line
in the world was from Boston to
Cambridge, two miles; in 1884 it was
OACChuou " NcW 4OIh, 200 lilies.
Chicago and New York were connec-
ted in 1895, and in 1911 New York
could say "Hello'' to Denver.
In the forty years since the tele-
phone was invented nearly a hun
dred types of transmitters, and nu-
merous repeating instruments and
other devices have been used, and
discarded for something better, but
it is asserted that no single discov-
cry has been responsible for this Ia
test and greatest achievement in the
telephone are. It was accomplished
by gradual improvements in all
equipment, by which mile by mile
the distance of possible telephone
communication was extended, each
year a little further, until the dream
of transcontinental communication
has been realized
In the two circuits of the trans
continental line there are approx
mately six million pounds of copper
wire, or about two hundred carloads.
This wire is stretched on 100000
poles, which, if they were loaded on
railroad cars, would make twenty
trains of thirty cars EACH
The route of the transcontinental
telephone line is from New York to
Pittsburgh, thence to Chicago, Da-
venport, Des Moines and Omaha.

PAUL FULLER TO INQUIRE

President to Make Another Effort to

President Wilson has determined to

missioner to investigate conditions In
the island republic Paul Fuller of New
York. who executed confidential mis-

mission headed by former Gov. Frank

Gov. Forts commission remained In
Haiti but a short time and made a
report to Secretary Bryan, the contents
Of which never were made public. 1t

the commission and of Arthur Bailly-

Haiti, were widely at variance. AS a
result Mr.. Bailly- Blanchard was sum-
