Additions and Betterments
Planned as Demand for
Phone Service Grows.


NEW YORK. January s.-The
American Telephone and Telegraph
Co. announced last night that
headed by ]. P. Morgan & Co.
S125,000,000 issue of 35-year per
cent gold debenture bonds. Proceeds
from the sale will be used by the
company to make loans to it's as
ISOLATED companies or to acquire
their securities, thus making funds
| available to the Bell Telephone
System for additions and better
ments.
Public Offering of the bonds was
arranged to start today at a price of
95 and interest to yield slightly more
than $50 per cent. Associated with
Morgan & Co. in the offering will be
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Kidder, Peabody
& Co., the First National Bank of
New York, the National City Co., the
Guaranty Co, the Bankers Trust Co,
Harris Forbes & Co. and Lee Higgin-
son & Co, comprising the banking
group which has handled American
Telephone financing in the past.
Sale of the debentures will swell
the funded debts of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Co. to
slightly less than S400,0 100000. While
the company entered the class Of
billion dollar corporations several
years ago. the new financing will in
crease it's combined stock and bond
issues to $1,000, 100000, one of the
largest totals on record and almost
as great as that Of the United States
Steel Corporation.
The increased demand for tele-
phone service prompted the company
to do new financing at this time,
officials said. Indications are that
the growth of the telephone business
in 1925, for which these funds will
make provision, they added, will be
as large if not larger than any pre-
vious year in the history Of the
system.

URGES ACTION SOON
ON INSURANCE CODE
BIanton Points Out Neces.
sity for Laws Passage
at Present Session.

Representative Blanton of Texas,
during the session of the House Dis
trict committee yesterday, pointed out
the neces sity of favorable action at
the present session on the insurance
code for the District of Columbia
Up to the present time Mr.. Blanton
has opposed consideration of this bill
because of certain Objectionable fea-
lures. These objections have now
been practically eliminated and the
Representative from Texas urged
prompt consideration by the District
of Columbia committee.
elimination of 20 Years Work.
The insurance code is the culimina-
tion of 20 years labor and is a COM
pilation by experts in the various
branches. supervised for the protec-
ton of the peoples interests by for
mer Insurance Commissioners Hotch-
kiss of New York, Donaldson of Penn
sylvania, Hobbs of Massachusetts and
DR.. s. s. Huebner of the University
of Pennsylvania the last named hav-
ing drafted the marine law enacted
by the last Congress.
The passage of this legislation, it is
declared, will give to the District of
Columbia the most up-to-date law in
the United States, and is standard
legislation, avoiding the mistakes
made in other States.
1t will have the effect of increasing
the District revenues by reaching
premiums that now escape taxation,
it is declared, and will prevent the
organization and entrance of wildcat
companies and prevent citizens from
being preyed upon. 1t will tend to
stop the dishonest and incompetent
agents from wrongly advising and
robbing citizens here and will permit
local companies to expand and do
business in other States which they
are now handicapped in doing by the
obsoleteness of present laws. Lii
cenSed local agents will be protected
in the practice of their profession,
instead of having their business pi-
rated by outside interests not licensed
and who pay no taxes, and will give
the superintendent of insurance of
the District power to regulate the
practice of the business so as to pro
tect those who insure, instead of be-
ing without proper authority, as he is
at the present time.

WELFARE BILL HIT
AT Joint HEARING
Opposed by Chaplin Brown
and Former Judge-UpheId
by Expert.

Attacking the proposed public well
fare bill on the ground that the Ma
tional Training School was not a
District but a national institution
and that it should not be included in
the proposed consolidation, Chaplin
Brown. a member of the board OF
trustees of the institution, was the
first witness to be heard by the Joint
District committee of the House and
Senate, which began hearings on the
bill today.
were: William Hudson of the Russell
Sage Foundation, William H r. De
Lacey, a former judge in the Juvenile
Court of the District, and John Joy
Edison, president of the Board OF
Charities.
Mr.. Brown, stating that he was
speaking against the plan to consoli-
date the board of the Girls Training
School into the proposed welfare
board, gave complete history of the
school from its inception on June 9,
1888, to the present time. He said
that the school was and is an inte-
grail part of the Department of Justice,
and that the President appointed the
board on recommendation of the At
torney General. The original act. he
pointed out, provides that the school
should be under Federal and not Dis
trict supervision.
Scores City Heads.
The Commissioners of the District
Mr.. Brown asserted, were always try
ing to reach out and add to their
power, and he said that the attempt
to put this board under a proposed
welfare board was an instance of this
tendency. In 1904, he said, the mat
~ crif of
Attorney General at that time de-
cided that it should remain under
Federal supervision, rebuking the
Commissioner and asking that the
school be not interfered with.
Mr.. Hudson contradicted Mr.. Brown
who had said that large number OF
those in the institution had been sent
from United States courts throughout
the country.
of the work of the commission, which
was appointed to investigate and
draft the present welfare bill. He
stated that public hearings were held
to which 1900 residents of Washing
ton were invited. The committee at
it's investigation of the situation in
Washington found two things, he
said; that the. National Training
School for Girls was almost entirely
local ana local IN us source OF reVe-
nue., while the Training School for
Boys was composed practically SO per
cent from outside of the District.
in all frankness, let me say, how
ever, that girls can best be sent to
the training school from other parts
of the country, but that it has not been
the practice to utilize the school in this
way. If am correctly informe ed
there is now only one girl there from
outside the District of Columbia" said
Mr.. Hudson.
Says Congress Differentiated.
Mr.. Hudson pointed out that the
boys school was not included in the
proposed consolidation of welfare
boards for the reason that Congress
appropriated directly for that school
and that it. Naa regaGded a. O. nas-
