A FIVE-CENT RATE FOR ALL NEW YORK CITY. CHICAGO'S FIVE-CENT AREA IS AS LARGE AS NEW YORK’S TEN-CENT AREA. New York’s lowest rate for a direct line, measured service, is $48 per year for 600 outgoing messages. This is eight cents per message. The territory is limited to certain specitied zones, Chicago's lowest rate for direct line, measured service, is $40 per year for 800 outgoing messages. This is five cents per message. The territory is the city’s limits. No zones! New York City is the richest field for telephone operations in the world. The New York Telephone Company ts industriously cultivating this field and taxing New Yorkers the highest rates in order to-buy up competitors elsewhere and to give lower rates at competitivs points. A policy of monopoly and aggrandizement, as Louis Brandeis described | the policy of the New Haven Rallroad management, is carried on by the | York Telephone Company. The bills are being paid by the people of | w York City. The rates for telephone service they pay are not based | on cost of plant antl operation applied to service in this city alone, The| public is taxed all {r will stand in order that an enormous amount of money | may be accumulated by the company for a campaign of buying up all the | telephone property of seven Eastern States, New York City is the golden nest egg of the entire Bell telephone | system.

Justice Kelby's part of the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court of Kings County was jammed with politicians to- day when Thomas Owens, under indict- ment with State Senator Daniel J. Car- roll and others charged with conspiracy to evade the Blection law, took the stand as a State's witness, Senator Carroll, Luke O'Reilly, the lawyer; John Behan and Emil Marmoratein were the defendants against whom Owens's tea- timony was directed, It appears that after Owtena wae in- dicted with the other four he war ar- rested for shooting a boy. To get him- welf out of trouble on that charge he volunteered to turn Stat eviden againat Carroll, O'Reilly and the others, Owens said that on March %, 1912, when the primary election was held in the Fourteenth Aseembly District of Brooklyn, he was in Carroll's confidence. Carroll was determined to be leader of the district, and Owens says he laid his plans to steal the primary if he couldn't carry it otherwise. ~ SAYS LEADER PLANNED TO GET GANG OF “GORILLAS.” Owens, who has only one atm, swore BROWN RESIGNS | AS PRESIDENT OF CENTRAL LINES Alfred H.
