Id'nil Transportation.
The Houston and Texas Central is
making war on people who allow
f rionds to ride on their complimen-
tary transportation. The train agents
employed on passener trains to In-
spect transportation before it Is
taken up by the conductors are ex-
perls on handwriting and are also
selected for their good judgement in
spotting persons who are holding
passes or other forms of transpor-
tation belonging to others.
Since the agents have been in the
service an enormous amount of trans-
portation has been taken up and peo-
ple all over Tex s have been given
the opportunity to explain how it
happened. Most of them claim the
transportation was lost. ι
The train officials have not only
got the little fellows but have caught
several persons riding on complimen-
tary annuals which were issued to
state officials. The passes have all
been taken up and forwarded to
headquarters. Several rather un-
pleasant embarrassing scenes have
occurred on trains when well known
men were caught trying to get
through on somebody else's pass.
The system of lending transpor-
tation had grown to large propor-
tions but it is being checked at
least on the Central—JDenison Her-
ald.
Light I'lant Accident.
A large belt which runs the elec-
tric light machinery broke last night
about 11 o'clock. The break made
a loud report which was heard sever-
al blocks away. The loosened belting
j hit with such force against the tim-
ber» in the building that three or
four overhead joists were broken
and a section of the lower flooring
was torn up by the belt. The lights
were out for a while and the city
was in darkness. Connections were
made and the lights were turned
on again In about an hour.—Ennis
News.
Game Called Off.
Owing to the illness of Bob White
and other members of the Trinity
University baseball team the games
to have been played here Sunday
and Tuesday with the Texas Chrln-

THE TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Censes Burtin Issks Sf«W ifjort on
Telejfcones and Telcqnjhs.
A report on the telephone and
telegraph systems ami the municipal
electric (Ire alarm and polite patrol
systems of the I'nited States has just
been published by the Bureau of the
Census. The statistics were collected
and compiled under the supervision
of Mr \V. M Steuart chief statisti-
clan for manufactures and the text
was prepared by Mr. Thomas Coin-
inerford Martin of New York city
expert special agent.
This is the last of a series of re-
ports on the generation and utiliza-
tion of electric current for the trans-
mission of power messages and con-
versation. Former reports relate to
street and electric railways and cen-
tral electric light and power plants.
This report presents satisfies con-
cerning the physical equipment ser-
vice and financial operations of the
commercial and mutual telephone
and telegraph systems of the coun-
try. and the physical equipment of
independent rural telephone lines.
The statistics of the telephone and
telegraph industries of the United
States were first shown in the cen-
sus of ISsii. At that time telegraphy
had been growing steadily for nearly
forty years and telephony was in the
formative stages of development.
Since then however telephony has
progressed to such an extend that it
has surpassed telegraphy in physical
magnitude.
In 190Û the telephone systems
operated more than three-fourths of
tile wire mileage reported for both
telephones and telegraphs gave em-
ployment to seven-tenths of the wage
earners paid more than two-thirds
of the wages received more than
two-thirds of the total revenue and
paid more than two-thirds of the
total expenses.
i The telephone systems are divided
I into three classes as folows.
1. Commercial systems including
I all systems operated by individuals.
I firms or corporations primarily for
I revenue.
j Mutual systems including all
I systems operated through a mutual
(arrangement among persons deriving
benefit from the service primarily
I for ι be benefit of the owners reve-
nue being incidental to the operation
of the line.
: independent t'armei or rural
lines including all lines having no
• pillai exchange or central office.
In 1902 there were :!1Γ»7 com-
menial s.\steins. 994 mutual sxstem^
and 19s ·"» independent rural lines.
For flu· commercial systems the
mileage was 117Τ9.Γ»7 1. and the nuni-

the divisions of the state. There was
no rain in the eastern third of the
state and very little or none in the
southeastern southwestern and west-

was mostly inappreciable. In the
northwestern division the precipita-

heaviest but still below the normal
