PEOPLE CO SYSTEM TO STAND Continued rom' Page One had a Period of tight monev brnnSi? tnls condltion was natural or te ut manipulation fact Is that the I the American Bell Telephone largely held by the New York 1 aU the facts were known the bonding scheme of the Bell company would make the hair fa se on the scalps of some of J1 ls true that the com Pp ytion of the independent companies a an Michigan has been threat ening to undermine the financial structure of the American Bell Tele pnone Co thus furnishing a good rea son why the bonds of the independ should not readily find a maket in Wall street The Erie system which is also la poring under a heavy bond proposition is being reorganized and the stock w'hen the plans are finally out will find that have about SX Aaelr original investment If9Uw(XX) in cold cash is not delivered to the Old Colony Trust company on or before January 10 1902 the Erie company will go up the spout The American Bell Telephone Co is shoul dering this responsibility Michigan Co Rates Went Up But in the scheme of reorganiza tion the Michigan Co which is an offspring of the Erie sys Is being left out The reason for this is perfectly plain and it also shows why the Michigan Telephone officials recently raised the rates in Detroit and Michigan have it on excellent authority that the subscribers of the Michigan Telephone Co during the last year were not enough to meet the operating and interest charges by $300 000 In other words they are shy that much on the business To meet this deficiency rates were raised In Detroit In the small towns rates for telephones were raised from $6 to a year It remains to be seen whether the Michigan Telephone subscribers will keep their At Albion they have been thrown out and in other places the independent companies are steadily gaining There has never been a time when the Michi gan Telephone rates were not lower than the independent charges The officials used this cut rate as a war measure but the deficit became so alarming that the war measure has been at least temporarily abandoned people of the small commun lVes especially have demonstrated that they have no use for the monop oly even at a lower rate At present the independent companies have prac tical control of the territory in Ohio and west and central Michigan and their power is constantly increasing thing which has cut the receipts of the monopoly is that for two years the Michigan Telephone company practically gave Grand Rapids a free service with solicitors on the ground Muskegon also prac tically had free phones a nominal charge of two cents being made when a subscriber desired to use his instru ment I said before it is vita that this system of independent companies have means of communicating with Detroit: hence the organization of the Telephone company Even if the Everett Moore plans for the company fail to go through some one else will take it up and fur nish the money It will prove to be a conservative paying investment However I believe that if the com mittee of Cleveland bankers succeed in obtaining an extension of time of eighteen months from creditors the plans for the completion of the De troit company will be carried out The Everett Moorepeople expected to have all their 'railroad bonding plans off their hands by last summer so as to be able to ahead with tQie tele phone end of

Interesting Sketches I of from STATED Michigan Papers I Queer reak Experiments are about to be made to ascertain if possible the cause for the divergence of the two plumb lines that were dropped down the new Tamarack shaft last fall It is not known of course whether or not anything definite will be learned but it is hoped that the result will be a satisfactory explanation of the two plumb bobs being slightly further apart down in the shaft than were the two wires at the surface when thev really should have shown a slight convergence because of the center of the earth being the point toward which all perpendiculars take a direct line The experiments will be under the supervision of President Mc Nair of the Michigan College of Mines who was present at the time the first attempt was made for the purpose of taking certain technical observations At the time he was very much inter csted in the result and was probably one Of the most surprised of the ex perts who were on the ground He has given the matter much thought since the result was verified and he hopes to reach some conclusion that wil satisfactorily explain the phenom enon "No 4 shaft North Tamarack which for some time has been used only to hoist the men will be used this time It is sufficiently deep for the lines to be dropped about as far as when the experiment was made in shafts 5 and 2 A full outfit lias been rigged

and there might have been something done that I am unaware Air Hays declined to commit him self further than to state that it would be investigated and there might be developments later and to remark with a twinkle in his eye that railroads are always ready to do Is though admitting there might be a difference of opinion as to what constituted right Mr Hays scouted the idea that the Grand Trunk is

car stopped bn Monroe avenue there was a rush of people who were anxious to get homeland no sooner did one board the car than he seemed Impelled by some invisible power toward that portion of the car nearest his destina tion Every seat in that section was speedily occupied while others pushed and crowded in a frantic endeavor to get as near as possible to the diminu tive stove in one corner from which emanated a flickering light feeble but yet suggestive of the warmth which possibly was being generated and which furnished anything but an un pleasant prospect when compared with the chill night air and the customary frigidity of the cars on the line When the seats in the vicinity of the stove were all taken and the available standing room occupied those who failed to get near the stbve were obliged to content themselves with seats from which point they gazed enviously at the more for tunate oner who were huddled about the stove inwardly congratulating themselves on having caught a warm car The truth of the matter was how ever that the stove was not genera ting a particle of heat although those nearest to it failed to realize the fact for some time inally a sudden lurch of the car threw a big six footer against the stove and he sprang away from it as though in fear of being burned The next instant a peculiar expression his face and he eyed the heater suspiciously for a mo ment

attended the Buffalo exposition was that of David Greenstine ex Circult Court commissioner The natty young De troiter was in Buffalo a day or two before the Pan Am quit business and having an hour or so before his train left he went to the fair 5 where he strolled into one of the side shows Jharf his new $60 overcoat on his arm and looked like something ripe and ready to be picked A 'smil ing woman came up and said: just in time for the second show Walk into the And with two other men the unsus pecting Detroiter walked into the spid nario "Now going to tell your for said the woman She began by telling the family secrets of the other two men who declared that everything she said was true Then she told Greenstine what a great and successful financier he would be wind ing up with the declaration that her assessment would be $2 apiece The other two men who were evidently confederates reached down and pro duced the bills but hesitated do I look like a he asked "No matter what you look like you must pay said the woman Dave tried to bfush past into the main auditorium but one of the men intervened saying: lady has earned her money and you ought to pay Dave reached down Into his pocket fished out £5 cents in change and gave it to the woman she professing her self satisfied Then Greenstine found a big ser geant of police and told him his story of The policeman went back to the show with the Detroit man and wanted to know how long that sort of game had been going on The man selling tickets was very anxious to avoid trouble and wanted to know how much Greenstine had been mulcted "Two dollars and a saidi Greenstine promptly and the ticket seller reached down into the cash drawer and produced the money Greenstine hunted up a couple of male friends told them what he had done and proceeded to buy liquid refresh ments with the $2 50 Then he went back and told the ticket seller how he had worked him and invited him out to have a drink Naturally the tick et seller was

by the time the canal bill is disposed of there be one or more appropriation bills ready for con sideration by the house None of the appropriation bills has yet been passed on by the appropriations committee but both the urgent deficiency and the pension bills are in a forward state and the' expectation is that they will be considered the committee dur ing the current week The present in is to give first attention to the deficiency The estimates for that bill aggregate $12000000 and it is not believed that these figures be scaled down materially The senate has no programme for the week and very little business on its as the reorganization of the senate committees did not take place until just before the holidavs There ard however a few bridge bills reported and Senator bill for the acquisition of right of way for the Nicaragua canal is among the measures in position to reach atten tion It ls not probable however that the right of way bill will receive consideration at this time the dis position being rather to await the action of the house upon the general subject and then have the senate predicate its action on the house bill If this course should be decided on the discussion of the canal question in the senate will be postponed for a few weeks The committee on the Philippines will take up the Philip pine tariff question very soon but as yet there is no indication as to how much time the matter may consume In committee Hence there is no probability that the senate itself will he able to reach that question for some time Senator rye is engaged on his report on the shipping bill but is not yet able to fix the time for its completion The announcement of Senator Se death probably will be made to morrow in which event there will be an immediate adjournment for the day An adjournment from Thursday until the following Monday is con templated REIGHT CARS BLOCKED PERE MARQUETTE 7 DETROITERS SPENT PART SUNDAY KICKING THEIR HEELS Brighton Mich
