Cleveland, Nov. the United States circuit court Judge Tayler granted an injunction against the American Telephone and Telegraph company and the Central "Union Telephone company, the former being the Bell long distance system and the latter the Bell company operating in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, restraining them from interfering with the business of the independent companies operating in those and adjoining states. The injunction was granted upon the application of Clarence Brown, general counsel, and James S. Brailey.

president, of the United States Telephone company, which is the independent long distance telephone company operating in Ohio and attaining states, in a suit brought by that company. It is charged the Bell is pursuing the policy of buying independent exchanges or selling Bell exchanges where there are competing companies. in some instances absorbing independent companies by merger or consolidation, or division of territory so as to eliminate competition and establish a complete Bell control. This is said to be in violation not only of the Sherman antitrust law, but also of the laws cl Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and other states in which the companies operate.

This policy is said to be shown by the official reports of the officers and directors of the Bell company to their stockholders. A complete history of the Bell organization 1S7S to the present, including their financial transactions and issue of stock, is given. It appears from the bill that the original value placed upon the Bell patents in 1S7S was S400.UOO. In 1S79 this was increased to $630,000. A year later the value of the same property, as represented by the capital stock, was increased to $0.500.000, or nearly SOO for In 1900 the capital stock had been increased to $25,000,000.

and in April of that year the present American Telephone and Telegraph company took over the Bell patents from the old company and issued two shares of its stock for each share of the old stock: or In other words, gave 550.000,000 of it-? s'ock for the of the stock of the old company. The capital has since been increased to $250.000.000. The bill also charges that instead of using their enormous profits to develop business, they used them in paying exorbitant dividends and in acquiring Control of competitive properties in order to suppress, competition. They arc charged with issuing many times the original cost of the stock In stock dividends, and paying at times 18 per cent a year in dividends.

Granted Patent On a Concrete-Iron Phone Pole Samuel Tyson, of near Zanesvillv, has puzzled out a new idea to solve he problem which is every year becoming a more and more perplexing one. It is a pole which can be used for 'carrying all kinds of wires and cables such as would be required in elephone and telegraph service.

The base is of concrete and is buried in he. ground the depth depending upon the height of the polo and the weight it has to carry. In the concrete base or foundation is fitted a iiibn'ar iron shaft so built as to require no guying regardless of the angle the poir is subjected to as i a comer This scientific feature of the was responsible in a large measure for Mr. Tyson securing a a upon it so easily. The pole is said to be very much cheaper to construct a (lie ordinary i pole and as soon as proper finances can be had to back the proposition and put it.

Why Saloons Take Signs Down in Hurry There is one provision of the search and seizure law which is or special importance just now. The law says that a sign advertising beer or whiskey in front of a place of business is prima facie evidence that loxioaiing liquor is sold there.

The proprietor is liable to arrest and might as well plead guilt so plain is the. language of the law. That is why the saloon keepers have been so busy today tearing down, the beer, and whiskey signs.
