It was known lo the friends of Judge
Fall in ibis city several weeks ago
thiit Hie place had been offered to
Judge Fall, bill Merlona doubts were
expressed by these friends us lo
wIn-1 her Judge Fallwould accept.
The vast business interests of Judge
Fall In FI Paso anil Mexico and as
general m tome,v for Ool. W, C.
Greene's Interests; In the Southwest It
whs thought hardly probable that he
could afford to accept the place.
Judge Fall has been ill since his
l enirn I l oin Santa Fc Saturday morn
ing. where lie attended the inaugura-
tion of Governor Curry and delivered
the address of welcome on the pari of
I lie people of New Mexico. An Inter-
view was sough 1 from him Iasi night,
but he was III and In bed and could not
he seen
Mrs Fall, however, when the re-
porter staled tils business, gave the
reporter lo understand that the mat-
ter was practically settled.
‘l came lo gel an expression front
Judge Fall on the report that he will
be the next attorney general of New
Hi vleo," said the reporter.
I don't Hi Ink there can he any
doubt of Ii.” said Mrs. Fall. ”1 be-
lieve thnl It Is practically settled.”
Further Umu this Mrs. Fall was
tillable lo say anything upon the sub-

seems to settle the mutter.

The report upon Ihe streets that
the Hell Telephone company had made
overtures to Ihe Automatic or Inde-
pendent Telephone company to buy
Hu- plant and franchise of the latter
company Is vigorously denied by E, V.
Howden, attorney for the Auiomutlc
T< lephone company, and by .1 H. Mor-
gan. manager of the company.
The Times got ith Information upon
Hu- subject from a gentleman who Is
In buslrn ss in HI Faso, and who called
at The Times office and asked If we
Imd any Information on the subject.
A reporter mentioned the report lo
,• veral olhi r ix-ople, and while sev-
iral of them had heard the report Its
definite source could not he traced
and nothing specifically authentic
could be learned.
Bell May Have Started Report.
Friends of the Automatic- Telephone
company declare that they believe Ihe
r< port was either start* d by the Hell
Telephone company in order to warn
their subscribers that it was useless
lo -quit the Hell company and order
Automatic phones, for that company
would he absorbed by the Bell and to
null the It,-ll would he useless. An-
other theory Is that the rumor started
over the fact that the Hell company
has given notice of raise In rales, not-
withstanding the fact thut the Auto-
niatlc has already established a lower
rate than the present rate of the Hell
company and for u better service. This
lac) was probably commented upon,
and Hie only explanation was that the
Hell company was about to absorb the
Independents.
Mr Bowden Denies.
It V Howden, iittornoy lor the inde-
pendent company, yesterday made the
following statement:
"I was certainly as much surprised
as any one could he when I heard
Hull rumors of n sale of our plant to
the Hell company were afloat, and
cannot conceive how such a report
could have goten out unless by the
design or Interested persons. I am a
member of the hoard of directors of
the Automatic company, the Southern
Independent Telephone company, and
am attorney for the company and Its
secretary mnl treasurer, and no action
or step or any moment concerning Its
affairs other than dally routine of
work Is or has been taken without
being called to my attention, whether
such action bo by the president or
other officer of the company, and I am
sure Hint nothing has been done eveu
looking Hi such n sale, and neliher our
company nor any of Its representa-
tives has lieen approached by any
representative of the Hell company
concerning the sale by our company
of cither Its stock, property, Iran-
cliises or rights, or any part thereof,
io the ill'll company, either directly
or Indirectly, proxlmately or remotely.
"About three years ago, when our
company was in Its severest financial
si rails and In the hands of a receiver,
I was approached by a representative
of the Hell company with a view on
the part of that company of buying
our company out. 1 answered very
promptly that we would not sell mid
would not consider any proposition
which they might make, and the uego-
Gallons, or efforts ut negotiations,
ended Immediately, and the subject
has never been again broached by anv
person representing either company
other than u statement made shortly
thereafter by Hu* general attorney for
ihe Hell company in Texas upon the
occasion of a friendly call at my office,
when he happened to he in Ihls city.
Ills home being In Dallas. He at that
time mentioned Incidentally in the
course of u conversation that his com-
pany had hud something of this kind
in mind, hut he found such purchase
impracticable, because It was iiosl-
tlvely prohibited by the anti-trust huv
of Texas, passed by the legislature In
18(13. Thut law Is still In force, and
by Its terms any merger or combina-
tion of the two companies or a sale
by either to the other would result in
the forfeiture of Ihe franchises of
both and the dissolution of both cor-
porations, and this results whether
tin one company gets control of the
other either directly or Indirectly, and
the law Is made so broad as not to
permit any subterfuge
*T have been approached by a groat
ninny people today who have criticised
our company for the contemplated
sale, they assuming that your article
was based on fuels, and for that rea-
son I wish you to state as clearly and
as positively us language can make-
it, that the Southern Independent
Telephone company lias never at any-
time contemplated any such sale and
would not for one moment consider
any proposition of purchase from the
Hell company, if made, but that our
company intends to continue in future,
as in the past, installing as rapidly as
possible its automatic phones, and
that all subscribers may rest assured
that when they subscribe for our
phone that (he company will continue
Independent ns heretofore, and that
they will not fall into the hands of
the Hell company. In this connection
1 may add that the Automatic Tele-
phone company, manufacturers of our
apparatus, will not sell Its apparatus
to the Hell company, und therefore
the Boll company would not be in |h)-
sHion to operate our plaut should thev
own 1L
"The demand for our phones has
become so great within the last few
days that we have employed all avail-
able help in the city of HI Paso, and
have wired elsewhere for additional
men In order that we may be able to
Install phones with promptness when
ordered, and we ex|iect lo be able
to do so."
Manager Morgan Denies.
J H. Morgan, manager of the Auto-
matic company , was Indignant over the
report, fearing that it would Inter-
rupt his business and the order for
phones from people in the city. He
said:
No Chance of Consolidation.
"There Is no possible chance for

he absorbed by the Hell company.
There Is a spirit of antagonism
against the old company which ex-
t< nds even to the employes. To such
art extent does this antagonism ex-
tend that not an employe of the Auto-
mat le company would accept a posi-
tion with the Bell company

The hooks of the Automatic com-
pany are always open for inspection,
and state and city officers can at all
times inspect them and tell just who

Would Himself Fight Consolidation.
I am a small stockholder myself,
and if any consolidation were to be
effected, tf no one else took up the
fight against. It, I would myself he
among the first to go into the courts
and light against the absorption of the
Independent company by the Hell
trust.
Proposition Was Once Made by Bell.
"As a matter of fact, when we were
In bad shape and things looked blue
for the Independent company here, a
proposition was made by the Hell Tele-
phone company to buy the Independ-
ents out ut a handsome figure, and
the proposition was turned down cold.
Automatic Telephone on Paying Basil.
"Today the Independent Telephone
company Is on a paying basis, aud
we expect to control the telephone
situation in El Paso within ten months
tr not sooner. Under our franchise
the maximum charge which We can
ever make in El Paso Is 44.50, while
the Bell company can charge a maxi-
mum of |6.50. We can make plenty
of money at our present rate, which
Is way below the Bell rate- And we
can and. do give better service and
it is because of this that we are going
to have the telephone business of El
Paso before another year.
No Reason to Consolidate.
"There Is no reason why we should
consolidate. We are at present re-
ceiving orders for about thirty tele-
phones a day, which arc being rapidly
installed. We have been busy today
installing phones in the Union depot.
This is the first time we have been
admitted to ihe depot, and It only
shows the demand for our phone has
won this victory for us."

The laws passed by the special ses-
sion of the legislature and not carry-
ing the emergency clause became ef-
fective Saturday. But few of the
drastic laws became effective the
majority of them being tax measures
carrying out the taxation scheme of
the governor and supplementing the
laws already passed or measures
which became effective on the signa-j
lure of the governor.
Of the laws which went into effect
(he one which will be felt the most
is probably the charter fee bill,
doubling the fee for filing charters
of corporations. The bill also has a
cause which requires all stale, dis-
trict and county officers to take out
a commission, for which a fee of $1
is charged. No officer can legally
draw warrants and no county treas-
urer can cash warrants to any person
whose commission has not been paid
for.
The list of laws which became ef-
fective Saturday Is as follows:
Giving persons who have causes in
the district and county courts twenty
days after the adjournment of the
term at which the cause was tried
to tile a statement of facts and bills !
of exception.
Giving contest cases, arising under
the local option laws, right of way
over other cases In the appellate
courts.
The uniform text hook board law.
The Terrell anti trust law, making
ll a felony for agents of trusts to
handle trust made articles in Texas.
The full rendition bill, requiring that
all property he rendered at Its actual
cash value.
Requiring telegraph and telephone
companies to make connection with
other companies in the transmission
of messages.
Creating a tax board to calculate the
state rate of taxation.
Fixing the fees to he received by
district and county attorneys.
Relating to judgments rendered by
the supreme court.
The gross receipts lax bill.
The amended land law, changing the
conditions under which state and
school lands may be sold and reserv-
ing the right of sale of guayule and
