$l55,543,144 Income
Represents 8 Per Cent
Drop From 1888
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March Met in
come Of the American Telephone &
Telegraph Co. and subsidiaries
Dropped 8 per cent in 1888 to $685.
543,144. equal to 1882 share of
capital stock, the company's annual
report disclosed yesterday.
This compared with $l82 ,342,S 1866,
or s976 a share in 1887, which was
a high record for the worlds largest
public utility.
While the system fell short by
$12 ,638, 900 Of earning the SO annual
dividend. the report pointed out
that dividends we're slightly more
than fully earned for the two years
1887 and 1888 combined. In 1887 the
balance after dividends was $14,-
1852 900.
Higher Gross Reported.
Gross operating revenue was
81 ,052, ,658,0OO against $1,O51 ,379,343
in 1887. The slump in net operat-
ing income was due, the report
stated, principally to increased
wages and continued increase in
taxes" Another factor was the
sharp drop in net earnings Of the
virtually wholly owned Western
Electric Co., the manufacturing
subsidiary, from s19,514,0o9 in 1887,
to s5,734,000 in 1888.
The systems cash assets at the
end of 1888, including funds tenn
porarily invested in Government
obligations, totaled sl35,965 900
against $165,908,107 the previous
year. The company held Govern
| ment obligations with a market
value December 81, 1898, of S41,-
314,000.
The system experienced a net
gain of 100000 telephones so per
cent of the gain coming in the
last four months of the year-in
1888, compared with an $4,000 gain
the previous year. At the end of
1893 there were I5,76l 900 telephones
in service.
Storm Damage Cited.
In the annual report. Walter S.
Clifford, president, noted that the
devastation wrought by wind, rain
and floods in eight Northeastern
/ States in September put the Bell
system to the greatest test 1t has
ever been called upon to face, and
that it met the challenge The
storm damage in 1888 was the most
extensive the system ever expe-
rienced.
Bell system rate changes in 1888
resulted in net reduction of ap-
proximately s45O0,000 but Clifford
asserted that rising COSTS, notably
wages and taxes, are not only
largely arresting the downward
trend but may require some in
creases in rates in other places in
spite Of every effort to offset higher
expenses through developments in
the art, improvements in operating
methods and rigid economies"
The separate annual report for
the A. T. & T. alone, the top
company, shows it's net income
amounted to s152,428,O2S, against

By the Associated Press.
COLUSA, Calf, Aug. 2l.-Eight-
day-old Robert Reister today ap-
peared to be winning his fight for
life after an operation which placed
his intestinal tract inside his tiny
body.
His condition at birth rivaled that
of Maria Corazon, the famous "out-
side heart baby" of Manila. Roberts
heart was in its normal place, but his
entire intestinal tract was outside
his body, functioning through the
neck of the tiny membranous sac
that encased it.
DR.. Joseph T. Tillotson, superin-
tendent and chief surgeon of Colusa
Memorial Hospital, made small in
cision and replaced the organs in
their normal position shortly after
the baby was born, he disclosed to-
day.
With the incision healed, doctors
said today Robert had an excellent
chance for recovery. He remained
at the hospital with his mother, Mrs.
Doral Reister, IS, but doctors said
both would be able to go home in q
few days.

mia several days otter its birth.

StoticIess Radio Unit
Will Open in Spring

NEW YORK. Jan. II (F.-Based
on the method developed for the
ultra short waves by Maj. Edwin H.
Armstrong. noted radio engineer, a
transmitter described as the first
high-powered, staticless radio sta
ton in the world" is to be opened
next spring, he has announced.
The station, W2XMN, is assigned
TO 40 megacycles. or about meters,
and is located at Alpine, N. j.
Elimination of static, tube noises
and other interference is accom-
plished by use of frequency modu-
lation instead of amplitude modula-
ton. In frequency modulation the
wave frequency as broadcast is
changed with the fluctuation of the
voice and not with the intensity of
the radiation.
An antenna of new design is en-
ployed. 1t consists of a 4O0-foot
tower with three 150-foot crossarms.
The aerial itself is composed of a
series of copper plated steel bars
fastened to a boom between the
crossarms. This construction con-
centrates the emitted wave along
the earth's surface.
Maj. Armstrong. now professor of
electrical engineering at Columbia
University. has made many radio
constitutions. including the super
heterodyne receiver.

band and Mrs. Josephine Beall,

The first trial, in June of 1885, ended
in hung jury.

powerful new-type short-wave radio
transmitter, which will broadcast

being installed at Treasure Island
by the General Electric Co., for the
opening of the World Fair next

be used to reach the peoples of South

power to blanket short wave recep-
ton from the Rio Grande to the
Straits of Magellan, broadcasting in
English, Spanish and Portuguese,
and from the Caribbean Sea to the
Indian Ocean, sending in English,

The station will be equipped with
directional antennas, designed by
