Evolution of the Telephone.

From Vests Docket.
The state public utilities commission of
Illinois, on the complaint of q telephone
company, made an order prohibiting a
telegraph company from operating u pub
lie telephone system until it obtained a
certificate Of convenience and necessity
from the commission to engage in such
business. The supreme court of Illinois in
State Public Utilities Commission eX rel
Chicago Telephone Co. VS.. Postal Tele-
graph-Cable Co.. 100 Northeastern Re-
porter, 795. held that such certificate was
unnecessary. as the telegraph business
included the transmission of telephone
messages. Judge Dunn, who wrote the
opinion, in speaking Of the different de-
vices used to nyey messages from q dis
lance. said:
THE telegraph is an apparatus or device
for transmitting messages to a distance.
The name indicates that the messages are
written, but. in fact, the early telegraph
did not write at q distance-messages
were not graphically expressed. One of
the earliest applications of the term was
to the ~semaphore. which is defined as a
signal telegraph. An indicator telegraph.
in which signals are given by q pointer
or indicator moving in different directions.
Is another form Of telegraph. The Morse
system was not written, but consisted Of
q series Of dots Ind dashes in certain
order, which had a conventional meaning.
Afterwards the dots and dashes were
omitted. and the operator received the
message from the sound Of the sounder.
Type printing and chemical printing tele-
graphs were invented by which the hand
writing OF a person at one enc Of the line
iis r-eproduced ii tho other end, and tho
lines OF a drawing may be reproduced In
the same way.
Another device was invented by which
the impulse of sound could be transmitted
from one end Of . line to the other, and
thus q message could be transmitted by
the voice of the sender. This was the tele-
phone, which il an instrument for carry
ing sound to q great distance. The tele-
phone and the telegraph transmit the
same message in the xa1nA way by the
same means: that is.a by sound through
tho Agency,Of . current OF electricity over
8 wire. circuit. The sounds OF tho tele-
graph Instrument are the metallic taps
Of The spunder. which have . conventional
meaning: those OF the. telephone are the
words OF the speaker. reproduced ct tbs
other end Of the line. Whichever Anetl.od
OF communications IS employed by tho per-
son, association. or corporation furnishing

Some High Pr,ee Causes.

FTOM the washington Star
High officials of the government see the
following fundamental factors at the bot
tom of present prices:
Q) The tendency to speculation which
always follows a war.
Cd The fact that domestic stocks Were
low when the armistice was signed and
were not replenished by the producers
because of the fear of low prices.
3D. The exaggerated demand Of Europe
for supplies, which, while urgent and pec-
essary, will probably not be nearly as
heavy as anticipated and advertised.
a. The abandonment of conservation by
the American people in a body after the
armfstice which resulted In competitive
buying throughout the entire country.

ton BIZ prcfiteers.

TAX DECISION
IS EXPLAINED
Question of Public and Utilities
Says SIOGum

TRENTON, Nov. 19.-Acknowledg-
ing receipt of a letter from the New
Jersey Bankers Association, enclosing
a copy Of a resolution adopted by that
organizations executive committee,
concerning recent attacks upon the
Public Utility Board for granting a
increases. President ]. w. Slocum, of
the Board, in a reply made public
today declared that body cannot con-
slider either the public utility interests
or those who pay the charges alone,
but that both sides must be taken in
to consideration in such matters.
The bankers resolution, which was
forwarded to the Board by secretary
William j. Field, Of the association,
referred to the mount of securities
OF public utility corporations held by
the State banks and the far reaching
disastrous effect of failure to give
proper consideration to those Securi-
ties in the matter of fixing rates.
1t will be recalled that at a Legis-
lative hearing within the past sever
al years, President Thomas N. Nc
failure of his company would mean f.
nancial panic among the banks OF
New Jersey because the corporations
securities were held by men of the
financial institutions in the State. At
ter reciting hat the Manufacturers
Council is now taking a vote on the
question of asking Governor Runyon
to remove the Board for granting in
creased rates for electric power and
the attitude of the bankers.

PatroIman Explains Ferry
Incident to Chief Of Police

Patrolman Alfred Christopherson
In q statement to Chief of Police
Patrick j. Burke this morning at
police headquarters denied that he
went over on the ferryboat Totem
Vile Monday afternoon after the ac-
cident at the ferry when 1t was said
hat an automobile had run over a
man, injuring him.. Patrolman Chris
.topherson said that he did not each
the ferry until the machine had gone
on the boat after the accident and
when he went on the boat he saw a
boy whose bicycle had been broken
by the runaway car and that the
owner Of the car told him he would
pay for the damages to the wheel.
The boy, he said, refused to make
any complaint and there was no
police action and he made no report
on those grounds. Christopherson
said hat he did not know of the man
being injured. A bridegman at the
ferry said yesterday morning that he
saw the patrolman go on the boat but
did not see him leave and after that
he went off duty. 1t has since been
learned that a man representing him
self to be q government inspector
was the one who held the boat up on
the Tottenville side and called a pa
trolman there and not the patrolman
from this city.

Die UP BODY IN
POISONING CASE
Father Of New BTuHSWlCkGr
Asks for Probe
sNH Corresronaens.

By SEuD Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK. Nov. 49,
Some time in April 4 young man in
New Brunswick by the name ot
diagnosis of the attending physician
beng tina. he had died of acute IN
digestion. Since his burial In the
Elmwood cemetery his father has
intimated hat he may have died from
poisoning. Application was made by
the father to Prosecutor Stricken for
an order to have the body exhumed
in order that the organs might be
analysed for traces of poison. Fur
Their investigation of the case, IL
found true, is likely. Prosecutor
Stricken acceded to the fathers re-
quest and gave orders to have the
body taken Up. This was done last
Saturday in the presence of County
Physician DR.. Suydam, DR.. Smith,
Coroner Harding, Undertaken Quack-
enbush and Chief of County Detec-
tives Richard A. Peltier and Detec-
tive William Fitzpatrick.
The body, which was contained In
a metallic casket, was taken to a
vault in the cemetery where the
heart, kidneys, liver and stomach
were removed by the doctors after
which they were turned over to Chief
Peltier and put in a glass vase. Chief
Peltier then took these parts to
Squibbs laboratory and they are now
being analysed for traces Of poison
ing. The report from Squibbs is ex-
pected to be In the prosecutors office
some time next week.
One Of the reasons thought to have
caused, the father to ask for the ex-
huming of the body was the fact that
honey was left in the estate of the
deceased and 1t is rumored that foul
play might have caused the death.

PLEASESC CROWD
Miss Alice Williams Charms All
at Teachers Event

A rare treat was given to more than
2,200 people besides many school
children of this city at the high school
auditorium yesterday afternoon and
last night, when Miss Alice Williams.
the southern raconteur, presented a
unique program under the auspices of
the Teachers Association. With sto-
ries and songs of the Old South,
many of them original n many of
them sung and told. Miss Williams
by her WI Georgia nanny" many
phases of the life of the old south,
We're brought forward. and the love
of the old time negroes 70 white
folks" in whose fam lies they had
been reared, was apparent through
out the program.
Miss Williams is a young woman
of an old Georgia family, which still
retains some of the old colVred SER
wants of the bygone days OF romance
and throughout the evening there was
the atmosphere of the Old South, the
charm which has been handed down
in stories and "reminiscences of the
old colored octogenarians and cen
tenarian faithfuls to Miss Williams.
The original Georgia Postum
Hunt" at which former President
Taft had been a guest. tool excep-
~tionally we'll with the audience, be-
sides many of her other original rem
ditiOnS. The Teachers ASSOCIATION
considers itself very fortunate to have
procured Miss Williams for yester-
days entertainment, and the audi
ence made manifest its appreciation
of having Miss Williams here.
A very interesting feature of the
program was the part which the
school children of this city took. Most
Of the schools were represented and
children from the primary grades up
to the high school sang appropriate
songs If the south. Their singing
showed plainly the time which was
spent in drilling them and In more
than one case very difficult selections
were rendered exceptionally well by
some Of the very small children. The
grammar school drill and Kentucky
Babe" sung by very small children OF
No. Z school took exceptionally well.
During the intermission Joseph f:
Walker, principal of No. l school n
president of the new county teachers
organization, gave a short talk to the
parents who were present and pre-
sented the program of the new or
SANITATION for the betterment or
schools and teachers throughout TINS
state. He also mentioned the lack Nof
interest which many parents nave
shown in the school work of their
children and old the crisis which is
bound to come and which is very
evident already because of the lack
of good teachers who cannot n
teaching a remunerative profession
