The decision was a complete exoner.
alton Of tho members OF all prison
boards from 1908 to 1891. and their
actions.
Coniey was favored on all causes of
action brought by the state except
1.-THE fourteenth. on which the state Is

eighth and ninth. part OF the general
arrangements entered into by the
state prison boards and Conley. and
were dismissed.
In the decision against the two
claims no Judgment was given against
the state because the district court

against the state without it's consent,
but the allowance of the claims viii
more than offset the $65.12 allowed

OVER "a BILLION TRACKS
FOR TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS

There are 34,617, O21,192 telephone
speaking tracks, or line combinations, in
the communications system operated by
The Southern New England Telephone
Company. That is quite 4 sizeable lot
of tracks, with the necessary switches,
to keep always in order for the great
volume of conversation that is represents
ed in 1885, 600 telephone calls every day.
The number of talking tracks, so call
ed for convenience and because that is
what they really are is arrived at sim
ply enough, AS the company stated in
its recent annual report there are 1885,
057 telephones in the company's system.
Everybody who has a telephone knows
that each of these 186,O57 subscribers
stations may be used to call 186,056 9TH
ers making, as stated, the tremendous
total of 34,617 ,O21.192 different line COM
hinatdons that any subscriber may talk
over.
People wonder at the efficiency of the
railroads in successfully routing cars
over the network of tracks in a large
railroad yard without collisions. They
marvel at this sort Of thing because they
can see the tracks and in that way they
get an idea Of the difficulty Of the rail-
roads problem. But If DIT is a task to
keep things moving without interruption
on few hundred railroad switching
switching tracks, what must the task be
to keep several million talking tracks

SPRING HATS AND APPAREL
AS SEEN AT THE OPENINGS

Thursday was enough like an uncerr
tain April day to stimulate interest in
the spring fashions. as demonstrated
during the formal openings of the vari-
Gus stores. Crowds were out early on
inspection tours and prompt sales of
millinery and garments proved highly
satisfactory to the merchants.
Fine quality, style and distinction,
combined with prices exceedingly reas-
enable, had a tendency to make the
opening day success. Smart coats
wraps and dresses were never more fas-
cinating, and whether for social, bust
ness, or sport wear, the racks are found
well stocked with models representing
the latest word in style.
While French fashion arbiters lean
strongly toward blue as the hue of pref
erence this year, there are garments in
many other tints and blen3ings, so that
every taste can be met. AS to mater
ials, tweeds, kasha, poiret twill, piquette
