De Mille’s Best | of the Tramont Trust C. | that he made false ARRAIGN MITCHELL ON 3 INDICTMENTS Enters Plea of Not Guilty Ioston, Feb, 1 Max Mitchell, president of the defunct Cosmopolitan Trust was arraigned yesterday on ret indictments, He was with larcenies aggregating fraudulent loans and con- versions, false reports and entries and with altering a promissory note, He pleaded not guilty and was admitted to bail in* the sum of $50,000, sup- plied by relatives, The indictments against Mitchell, returned by the Suffolk county grand jury are the first that have been made public in connection with the inquiry into the affairs of the five trust companies which went to the wall within a few months of each other in 1920, The grand juky 18 still in session and has had the books before it, Mitchell, formerly a charity worker in the foreign colony of Boston's north end, developed the Cosmopoli- tan Trust Co. into a banking institu- tion with foreign connections that had millions in deposits and gained con- trol of a considerable Interest in many New England corporations. In the first of the five indictments, he is charged in 56 counts with the multiple larcenies and in 51 counts each with violation of two statutes by fraudulent loans and conversions.

Is Question “Hello Girl" On Toll Line Will Ask On Long Distance Calls Henceforth. ‘When making a telephone call out of town henceforth, subscribers who hear the *Voice with the smile” ask, “What is your name, please?” are apt to think she is trying to flirt with them but she isn't. The toll operator is using a tele- phone phrase recently adopted here, but which has been in use in other cities throughout the country for some time. It has been proved that, by learning the name of the calling per- son, the toll operator is enabled to give more satisfactory service. * For instance, there may be more than one call for New York from the booths at an attended public pay sta- tion, or through the private branch exchange in a large factory or office building. When the toll operator can say, “On Mr. Brown's call to New York, we are ready,” the attended sta- tion operator or the P. B. X. operator knows which one of the several New York calls that have been placed by her, is ready. The element of doubt is removed and the wrong person is not summoned to the telephone. Furthermore, requiring the name of the calling person, may check the placing of the toll calls in factories and elsewhere, by persons not au. thorized to use the service in that way. The name of the calling per- son will be written on the toll ticket and, thereafter, it will be easy to de- termine who made éach telephone toll call that is charged against any subscriber.
