In tho fight which resulted in the
Public Service Commission ordering
the reduction from ten to five cent,

lie Of the Greater City"
Joseph Aspinall. Justice Of the gu

ITO charge an extra five cents Just
for tclcphoning across the river was
absurd. 1t was only five cents from
Newtown Creek to Sheepshsad Bay or
from the Battery to Harlem. 1t is
remarkable to me that when tho pub

for prosecuting this fight to a sue

Herbert T. kstoham, Surrogate OF
Kings County:
Il want all the telephones I can get
for as little as can pay. and 1t has
always seemed to me that the rates
charged were absurd. as Illustrated

AS business man of Manhattan.
resident Of Brooklyn and q user OF

Miner c. Keith, Vice President
United Fruit Company:
"The fight for lower telephone rates
which was made and won by Tho
Evening World is a laudable one. Tho
chanse undoubtedly will make the
telephone more popular than it has
been. and therefore II should work to
the advantage of telephone company
ana user alike. The Evening World
Is to be congratulated on the success
which has rewarded its efforts in be-
half Of the people,"
Max .. 0rifsnhsasn, Sheriff Of
New York County:
Il am with The Evening World all
the way through on this fight. It Is
a splendid piece Of business. Tele-
phone rates are lower I'm other cities
OF the United States than they are
In New York. Take Chicago, for in
stance. A man can have a call 10
any part OF the city and speak as
long as he desires for cents. In
Chicago You will find men who are
earning about SIS "a week with tele-
phones In their homes because of the
low rates. -|.
The same condition should prevail
IN New York. The telephone has
become an indispensable part of
American life. In waging this tele :

BRONX OFFICIALS
& REJOICE IN VICTORY
or EVENING WORLD

Edward Poiak, County Register
said; .
"I have always been in favor OF
public service corporations charging
lust enough to insure q fair profit on
their investment. They should not
charge the public for the franchise
which the same public grants them. IL
the railroads can carry us fourteen
miles for five cents, why cannot the
phone monopoly do the same thing
with our voices In a small city in
Canada. a town with 100000 inhab'-
tants, they furnish private phones a.
SO year for unlimited service In Il
radius of forty miles. Tho business
rates for unlimited service Is $40 pc.
year, and tho merchants their permit
the use Of their phones to the public
without charge. IL they can do that
there and make money, why cannot
We have much cheaper rates here with
our much larger population? The
Evening World has won a great VIC
tory and has my heartiest congratu-
lation2."
Francis Martin, Distric: Attorney.
said:
The new rates made possible
BY The Evening Worlds great VIC
tory will mean rs much ~ the Bronx
and the rest Of the city as the reduced
transit rates meant when they went
into effect. and the phone company,
like the railroad interests, will be
benefited rs much as tho public By

HOLDING THE BREATH.

Simple Heart Test Used In Administer
ing Anaesthetics.
DR.. w. A. Schtange describes in the
Roussky Vratch an easy test which he
has devised to determine whether pa
tent who has been told that he must
undergo surgical treatment Is in con-
dition to survive the administration of
an anaesthetic. If the patient is unable
to hold his breath for twenty seconds
the indications are that his heart Is
so weak that he could not be subjected
to the strain likely to be imposed by
the anaesthetic.
General anaesthesia is particularly
dangerous to persons suffering from
myocardial changes. condition which
does not permit of ready recognition.
For this reason the simple test sug-
gested by DR.. W. A. Schtange will be
welcome by the anaesthetist If extend
ed experience should verify the doctors
assertions.
The test Is based on the fact that a
healthy person can suspend breathing
from thirty to forty seconds. This. the
author states. depends not on the lung
capacity, but on the vigor of the heart
muscle. In persons with weak hearts
the time is shortened to twenty or
even ten seconds. The patient, seated
in chair, is told to take moderately
deep inspiration and with the mouth
closed to hold his breath as long as he
can. The shorter the time the patient
can suspend breathing the greater the
danger of an anaesthetic. the latter be
ing communicated If the time is less
than twenty seconds.-New York Medi-
cal Journal.
