May pa-lee is pov-er-tay—garind-ing, ab-ject pov- er-tay.’ His chin descended heavily upon his jchest and there remained while Sing Fat recounted the tale of the theft. After purloining the kimono and dis- covering he was detected, Mr. Stanley endeavored to sprint himself out of his e predicament, but Sing Fat's ever ready whistle shrilled an alarm that brought almost the entire Chinatown squad to the pursuit. *'Tis the te-rewth—the hu-meel-i-a- ting te-rewth—he tells,” Mr. Stanley muttered in his chest. Then he jerked his head backward with an abruptness that billowed his hair, and, looking Judge Mogan squarely above the eye- brows, spoke as follows: “For ssev-en months—sev-en long months—I have been un-a-ble to ob- tain an en-gage-ment. My pro-fes-sion, sir, i8 ov-er-crowd-ed with cheap pee- ple. Tal-ent is no long-er in day-mand.

My dis-miss-al by you—" T'll sentence you to-morrow for petty larceny.” Mr. Stanley strutted back to the cage. ¢ e e Thadeo Schulz’'s thumb was wrenched so severely by John Doe Evers that its owner’s ability as a professional violin- ist is seriously impaired, and a war- rant for Mr. Evers’ arrest on the charge of battery was issued by Judge Mogan, with Mr. Schulz as the complainant. The- thumb wrenching occurred while the two men were attending a meet- ing of the Musicians’ Union in that organization’s hall on Post street, and behind the assault lay a story of :.1- leged misplaced confidence on one side and alleged ingratitude on the other. afr. Schulz was fiddling with the St. Nicholas orchestra when Maestro Ysaye came to town and started to enlist adept catgut scrapers as accompanists at his concerts. Among the first en- gagcd was Mr. Schulz, but he could not uccompany Ysaye and make music at the St. Nicholas simultaneously, so he hired Mr. Evers, himself a violinist of ability, to serve as his substitute at tice hotel. It might be irrelevant to say anything here about the oft-told gxtny downfall of the Ysaye accom- p#iment—how the great artist's nerves weére so shocked by the discord that he dispensed. with instrumantal aids entirely and thus brought into the local world of music a discussion that waxed fierce and has not yet en- tirely. waned. . Suffice it for this nar- rative to State that not _only was Mr. Schulz among those rebuked by the mightiest fiddler of them all, but that when he-yent to reclajm hisjob at the Si.

Chad- bourne, 1120 Taylor- street, and stolen Therefrom some valuable silver plate. The robbery was committed on June 12, and Detectives Wren and Reynolds obtained evidence sufficient to justify them in ar- resting Mr. Chadbourne and booking him for burglary. ¥ . . Patrolman Larkin had been inforfied that certain gentlemen of color made it a practice to stand at the intersection of Bush and Dupont streets and address offensive language to passing women, so when he went there .and saw Joseph Young, a well-clad negro, standing at the corner he arrested him. In the court of Judge Mogan, however, Mr. Young proved that he was a stranger in the city and disclaimed ' acquaintance with any local law-breakers of his race. He pre- sented a card showing that he is a_dealer in race horses, with stables on Avenue A, New York City, and explained that he is here as a tourist. So he was dis- missed. 5 5 = After compelling his wfte to cast aside the interlocutory decree of divorce which she had obtained, Enrico Cano forced her and their three minor children to support him in idleness, their reward being brutal treatment.

King Against Au-| tomatic Telephone System | EQUIPMENT TOO COSTLY Braunhart Says City Might Duplicate Plant of Home Company in Los Angeles| The Supervisors’ joint committee on Public Utllities and Finance yesterday re- sumed consideration of the application of the Home Telephone Company for a grant of franchise to establish an inde- pendent automatic telephone system in this city. M. A. King, whose application for an independent telephone franchise was turned down by the Board of Supervisors some four years ago, read a long type- written statement, in which he argued that beneflts would result by having two telephone systems, but advised against the automatic kind. King urged the committee to act fa- vorably on the application that a tele- phone franchise be sold. but to substitute a form of ordinance providing for the grant which he submitted. The state- ment says in part: For years the efforts to enthuse the public on automatic telephones have proved unavall- ng. Not a large city to-day Is using it, with the single exception of Chicago. In most cases after five years of use automatic vXchange equipment ‘|s replaced with the manual. It Is costly to install, expensive to maintain, too delicate in its mechanism for ccpstant ‘reliable service and too Intricate for the understanding of the average telephone user. Columbus, Ohio, is the largest city using the automatic apparatus and the general menager of the automatic company of Chicago i @ director and stockholder of the Columbus plant. SAYS STOCK 1§ WATERED. The Home Telephone Company of Los An- geles is at present dominated and controlled by a group of financlers and bankers whose sole purpose is to make the watered stock of that organization pay dividends resardless of its earning capacity or of its service. They also control the long-distance company and the subsidiary organigations. To increase the opportunities of the immensely profitable long- distance company they find It necessary to have San Francisco and P A franchise in San Francisco would give them an- other oppartunity of unloading on the con- flding public several milllons of watered stock. The watered stock of the Los Angeles com- pany has been boosted on the market by the prompt payment of dividends untll the public is eager to pay and are paylng $64 per share. The rates established by the Home Company at the start were below the cost of a 10, telephone service. Three-year contracts were taken. They now claim 19,000 phones in ser- vice. The three-year contracts have expired. The rates have not been increased, though the cost of the service to-day must be twice what they are charging. Still they pay divi- dends promptly. I am told that some of their issue of $2.50C,000 stock is still unsold. The tonds of the Home Telephone Company were first offered to the benks of Los Angeles t 90, with a bonus of an equal amount of stock, and afterward at 95, as the first issue was oversubscribed. This explains the pre- porderance of testimonials read by Mr. Kahn, attorney for the company, being from bankers. I¢ certainly was a good thing. Two lengthy testimonials are from Bank President Patter- son, who s or was the president or director of the Home Telephone Company. King said that Chairman Braunhart had rceived a large number of letters to the effect that the independent tele- phone companies had proved failures, both financially and in service, but had received his information from the Sun- set Company. WRITES TO MAYOR. “That is nct so,” said Braunhart. “While I have received some information from that source, 1 have also written to the Mayors of many Eastern cities rela- tive to independent telephone companies and have received some replies. Braunhart sald he had prepared a list of questions which he desired answered. He began by asking King If he was ac- quainted with the installation of the Home Telephone system in Los Angeles, and King replied in the affirmative. King said he had been granted a telephone franchise in Los Angeles himself, for which he had paid $3080 under the Broughton act. King said he had re- ceived $5000 for his labors in getting the franchise for a dormant company, which he afterward transferred to the Home Telephone Company. Braunhart sald that it was desired to ascertain how cheaply a duplicate system of the one in Los Angeles could be in- stalled here, with a view to ultlmately having the municipality build such a sys- tem. King said the bonds of the Los An- geles system pald 6 per cent interest, which caused Braunhart to remark that the city could borrow money at 3% per cent. King said he did not know of any one’ receiving a bonus for promoting the Los Angeles scheme, and admitted that he knew nothing about telephone construc- tion, being simply a promoter himself. King said the ordinance submitted by the Home Telephone Company ting the automatic franchise was ins fent, as it is simply-a rehash of the State law. ¥. W. Wachter, superintendent of the Home Telephone Company, declared that King knew nothing about the financial affairs ¢f the company in Los,Angeles, and was not competent to talk thereon. Braunhart said there were numerous ap- plications for tlephone franchises, includ- Ing one from the Stromberg Company. The comnyttee deferred further consider- ation of “the matter until Thursday, July 20. ————— CITY’S COMMERCIAL BANKS ENJOY GREAT PROSPERITY State Commission Reports Substantial Gains in Resources and Deposits During Last Four Months.
