ALLEGED IMMORAL Women = Arraigned in Court Charges Made by Police. Because of numerous complaints made against women of alleged immoral char- acter who roam the streets at night, the; police of the first precinct made several arrests last night. One of the women ar- rested gave her name as Lena Hawkins and her age as forty yeers. She was ar- rested about 1 o'clock by Policeman Judge. Lena lives on Capitol Hill, and when arraigned in the Police Court this norning ona charge of vagrancy she en- tered a denial, and referred Judge Kimball to a clerk in the sixth auditor's office and Officer Wilscn of the Humane Society. ‘The latter was sent for, and he told the ecurt that when the woman lived on his beat on Carroll street twelve years ago her reputation for chastity was not good. Five officers of the first precinct gave evidence against Lena, who was the best- d person in court. The woman char- acterized their testimony as a “pack of les," but did not seem much disturbed akout her case. It was stated that she is @ property owner, but this did not save her, for she was sentenced ty give real es- tate security in the sum of $200 for her gocd behavior or go down for ti 3.

Bilen Jones, colored, alias Mary Butler, Was arraigned before Commissioner Mills yesierday, charged with having forged cer- tain pension papers, upon which she drew a pension, and she was held for the action of the grand jury in the sum of $1,000 bond, which was furnished. It was alleged that Mary Butler was the widow of a soldier in the Union army, and up to October, 1506, she drew a pension on this account. ‘It was further charged that Elicn Jones has since then represented her- self to be Mary Butler, and has succeeded in securing the pension money. Judge Scott of the Police Court, it ts said, identi- fied the Jones woman ‘as a person for whom he had executed pension papers, and who at the time represented herself to be lary Butler. Constable Copp also posi- tively identified the woman as the one who had appeared before Judge Scott as Mary Butler. Ella Greene, one of the witnesses, testi- fied that she had always known the woman as Ellen Jones, and when the latter was put on the stand she stated that she had been employed in the family of the late Gen. Dunn, at 2% 1st street southeast, for ten years as a domestic. She said she knew nothing whatever of the pension papers re- ferred to. She stated that up to July last Mary Butler had lived at her house, but at that time she had left for the country, where she is now drawing her own pension. Messrs. ‘Thompson and Fraley repre- sented Ellen Jones, and Mr. Semmes of the district attorney's office appeared for the government. jen Jones, —-—__ ABOUT SIX DOLLARS A FOOT, What Was Paid for g Residence Site on i6th Street.

Mr. Hemphill, of counsel for the citizens who use the telephones, went on with his arguments. Before he began, however, Mr. Jere Wilson, counsel for the telephone com- Pany, called attention to the evidence sub- mitted yesterday by Mr. Birney, wherein an official of the Treasury Department had told of an alleged leak in departmental secrets over the long-distance telephone. Mr. Wilson demanded that the name of the official be given, and that he be called be- fore the committee to give his testimony. Mr. Hemphill, then proceeding, described the stock transactions of the Bell Telephone Company and the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, in the course of which he said that the Bell Telephone Company bad recelved $950,000 in stock, for which it aid not pay a cent. The only thing the Chesapeake and Potomac Company had re- ceived was the permission to pay rent for the use of telephone instruments. Mr. Bryan of the telephone company said this was hardly a fair statement. The company had received the business which kad been built up in the District, and which was a valuable consideration. More than that, the ccmpany supposed it pos- sessed franchise rights in the District. The company then was doing 40 per cent of the business it now transacts. Mr. Hemphill said the original company was capitalized’ af $100,000. Upon this it had built up a Lusiness of 40 per cent of the present volume. Why, then, should it have been necessary to take $750,000 to build up the 60 per cent. Mr. Bryan said the company was not willing to admit that the original capital- ization was $100,000. Profits of the Business. Mr. Hemphill, continuing, said the com- pany had been able to pay the Bell Tele- prone Company a large rental; to pay the irterest on the bends; to pay dividends on $2,650,000, and to spend a large amount of cney in constraction and maintenance. Mr. Hemphill contended that the business can be done in this city for a great deal less money than is now charged. He read extracts from the reports made to the Maryland legislature by the company and the report of a New York telephone inves- tigating committee. In the first case the profit to the telephone company was stated to be about $15 on each telephone, while the New York company made a profit of $60 to $80. The net profits of that company in six_years werd 474 per cent. The Lon- don, England, coyipany, with an average rate of $02 per Subscriber, acknowledged that they made 55. per cent net profit. Mr. Bryan dbubt¢d the correctness of the report. It way iowa of Simon Stern to the Ainsworth {nvestigation, and was a piece of special pléading, he said, through- out. Mr. Hemphill said the London company confessed to & gross revenue of $3,600,000. Vhile 55 per cent upon this would not be $2,250,000, the athount of profit the com- pany was alleged’'to have clearéd, there might be conditichs of the business which would account for! the discrepancy. Referring tothe report of the local com- pany, @fr. Hemphili said that two-thirds of all the wires gf the company, according to President Bryan's. statement, had. been Placed underground, at a cost of $186,0U0, and the whole, system could be placed un- derground for' an’ additional half of that amount. t Mr. Bryan said that while the argument sounded fair enough, it was not. Overhead lines were added to only as needed and became revenue producers, whereas it is necessary to anticipate business in Jaying conduits, and not more than 50 per c-nt of the underground wires are in use. Expert Evidence to Be Obtained. Mr. Hemphill said he had been informed by Mr. Hill, an electrical expert, that an underground system for 2,800 subscribers could be constructed for $463,000. Mr. Wilson protested against this kind of evidence. He demanded that Mr. Hill should be required to testify before the conmatetce and be subject to cross-examina- tion. The committee decided to allow Mr. Hemphill to proceed, but suggested that he should ask Mr. Hill to come in person and submit his evidence. Mr. Hemphill sald he would ask Mr. Hill to appear before the committee. Summing up his remarks, Mr. Hemphill said it had been shown that this company was charging rates in excess of those pre- vailing in other cities and was making large profits. Therefore it was prayed that Congress would regulate the rates, and if this company would not submit to reduc- tion, then to authorize another company to come here and do business upon reasonable rates. President Bryan addressed the commit- tee briefly. He said there was a competing telephone company in Baltimore, but it was at a standstill, in the hands of receivers. On the other hand, the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company was steadily growing and had not reduced its rates. Mr. Pitney’s Suggestion. Mr. Bryan told of the law In Maryland, which limited the charges to $78 for tele- phenes in Baltimore. The company had answered that law by taking out the metallic-circuit instruments of subscribers and relegating them to the use of grounded circuits, The latter were unsatisfactory to subscribers, and the succeeding legislature authorized the making of contracts at higher rates. “Then you may meet the action of Con- gress in the same way,” said Mr. Pitney. “You may respond to the reduction in rates here by taking out the metallic circuit in- struments and putting in the grounded- circuit instruments.” Mr. Bryan said he had not had time to consider this thought. “However,” he added, “you could hardly expect to buy Frenen loaf sugar at the price of black Manila, nor feel aggrieved at the man who refused to sell it.” Mr. Bryan explained that the grounded circuit instruments were unsatisfactory, by reason of the ere from troiley lines and electric lig! wires. It would pay the company to take out metallic circuit instruments and put in the other kind, if the rate were"#ediced. The Coniemplated Profits. In resporre to _a@ question, Mr. Byran said he contemplated making a profit of the company. -Phe- conservative railroads of the ccuntry were operated on that idea. Mr. Pitney suggested that the power of such a corporation to earn depended upon the exercise of @ public franchise. It would be in the power of watered stock to earn dividends, but only through the taxes paid by the people to the corporation. He did not think it was right for the people to be taxed to pay dividends on watered stock. “Your stock is watered some?’ Chairiarn: Grout."> + “““It is water-d some,” replied Mr. Bryan. | “Three-four.as?” suggested Mr. Pitney. “Oh, no,” protésted Mr. Bryan. In re- sponse to a question, Mr. Bryan said the company paid the Bell Telephone Com- pany a royalty of about $5 per-annum for each instrument. The price has been stead- fly falling. It was formerly $12. “Have your rates to the public fallen?’ asked Mr. ineys au: ryan said that, on the contrary, they had risen. That was due, he said, to the growing demand ‘for a better telephone service. Mr, Bryan denied the insinuation hereto- torelmade that the Bell Telephone Com- pany, in addition to owning a majority of the stock of the Chesapeake and Potomac Company, compelled the local telephone company to buy supplies from the Western Electric Company. Purchases were made, but, because some supplies could be bought cheaper than ‘from other sources. z Mr. Bry rring to the use of asked 35 per cent off 4% the gross receipts of - ‘The Sheperdess, by Julia Delmotte of Paris. | Palais Royal. aS -itors. cabulary.
