STATEMENT OF MRS.
 WEBSTER

A number of inquiries have been made at the office of the Telephone Company within the past few days regarding the tapping of telephone wires by the Prohibition Officers.
 In explanation of this we feel it is due patrons to state that the Telephone Company has not given and will not give permission to the Pro- hibition Officers anyone else to tap other wise interfere with telephone wires.
 We wish to give every assistance to the off in enforcing all the laws including the pro- hibition law, but law authorizes to permit any of the officers interfere with the telephone service of our patrons.
 Considerable misunderstanding seems to have developed a result of recent case tried in the District Court and in explanation of this we wish to state that the wires which were interfered with in this in the apartments of the Prohibit ton Officers themselves; that is say, they did not interfere with the service of any other patrons Even this was without the sanction of the telephone company and it not authorized and such procedure will be authorized by the compahy. The Telephone Company is a public service corpora tion The wires and telephones and all appliances belong to the company and are rented to subscrib- CTS, and no subscriber has any right to interfere with the service, nor to change the service which the company furnishes, without permission of the company. This is made misdemeanor by Section ] of Chapter B of the Session Laws of Alaska of 1919.
