SATTJIiDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1911. -: 4 J . - HOI PHONE MAY BE -MARK IK -SUIT Northwestern Long-Distance Foreclosure Case Alleged Scheme of Bell Firm. GRAB HERE THOUGHT AIM Onirics K. tiimner, of I.os Angeles', Will 111 Affidavit Today Al-r-ns Acqnlltion Would Give Pacific Company Monopoly. The rireliure suit Instituted by the Title Insurance ft Trust Company azalnst the "Northwestern Loin Dis tance Telephone Company, pending in the State Circuit Court, is alleged by Charles E. Sumner, of Los Anieles. In an affidavit be will file today, to be a step toward the eventual acquisition by the racitlc Telephone & Teleeraph Company of the I'ertland Home Tele phone Company. The further charge Is made by Mr. Sumner In his affidavit that the con summation of such a deal would give to the Bell company virtually a monop oly of the telephone business In the Pacific Northwest. Responsibility for the apparent em barrassment of the Northwestern Loo Instance Telephone Company Is charged by Mr. Sumner to William H. Allen. William Mead and Charlea C. Porter, of Loa Angeles, and P. t- Willis, of this city. Maalpalattoa la Chance. It la alleRed these men so manipu lated the, affair of the lonir distance company and auxiliary companies. In which they held controlling Interests, by diverting; the earnings of the for mer, that It was unable to meet its In terest payments, with the result that It violated a condition of the trust deed held by the Title Insurance A Trust Company, and tha foreclosure, auit fol lowed. The defendant company, the North western Lone Distance Telephone Com pany, owns the only lonar-distance line connecting; a Home telephone system between Corvallls, Or, and Belllntjham. Wash-. Including Salem, Portland. Ta coma and Seattle. It la charged by Mr. Sumner In hla atTldavlt that Allen and hla associates are forcing- the fore closure proceeding at this time In tha hope that the Pacific Telephone Tel eeraph Company will buy the Fortland Horn Telephone system, which, with the acquisition by the Bell people of the long-distance plant of the Home company, would be forced to operate purely as a local plant, without the ad vantage of long-distance ' connection. Bnalneea Alleged to ray. Mr. Sumner charpes that the Bell company Is willing and ready to con summate such a deal. It Is maintained by Mr. Sumner that the Home company la doing a profitable business, which is constantly growing, and that the Bell people have unsuccessfully endeavored to buy the Portland plant. He con tends that if the long-distance com pany falls Into the hands of the Hell company It wilTso cripple the business of the Portland concern that Its prop erty will be depreciated and It sooner or later would be compelled to sell out to ihe opposition. The purpose of Mr. Sumner's affida vit Is to soc.ire permission from the court to appear In the case and supply a drne In the foreclosure suit, which by r.-ason of the aliened conspiracy of Mead and his associates has thus far one by default. Mr. Sumner sets ii In his affidavit tint he Is the owner of 50 shares of the par value of ISIO.OOO of the capital tock of the defendant long-distance company, as well as IStfO of Its slock and In addition holds an unsalaried ItKlsment against the company for I50UU. Kwad Jaaaled. la C harge. In his affidavit. Mr. Sumner alleges that tie finances of the defendant tele phone company have been Juggled In urn a manniT as to make a large profit to the officers of the Title In surance ft Trust Company, and of an other auxiliary company owned by the same Interests and known as the Na tional Securities Company. The affidavit covers the financial history of the long-distance telephone company for about five years. It makes the allegation that for three vears the National Securities Company i.as been Indebted to the telephone lompaay in the amount of ls.9"S.T4. and that the National Securities Com pany has not paid this money because tne officers of the telephone company, who. it is alleged, are either the same persona who are officers of the Na tional Securities Company and the Title Insurance ft Trujt Company or are con trolled by them, would r.ot sue the Na tional Securities Company for money. According to the Sumner affidavit, the Home Telephone Company, of Port land. In 11 had a claim against the North.wetern Long-Distance Tele t.hone Company amounting to tis.sl 25 and commenced suit at Tacoma In the I'nlted States Court against the long distance company to recover this amount. In this case. W. D. Tyler was aDDOtnted receiver and he In turn brought salt against the National Se curities Company t collect the IsS.ooO due from It to the long-distance com pany. Dlrercare Liable la Charge. It la alleged that all of the Indebt edness In excess of IrS.U was I. legal and that Mead, Allen and Willis, as directors, were personally Il.it; for the psyment of this excess Indebted ness: that the California interests be hind the Securities Company. Including .Mead. A'.Vn and Willis, for the purpose of preventing the colle.-tlon of the rla'm against the Securities Company purchased tne claim of the Portland Home Telephone Company and then had the receiver dismissed, thereby stop ping the action against the Securities Company and preentlng the collection of lvO'i due from It Mr. Sumner charges further that the Portland Homo Telephone Company held as collateral sec-unty bonds of the long-distance company amounting to ' I lOi.too. which were also turned over to Allen and his associates with the claim, and. that In buying this claim thrv paid only $31,130. therehy securing a discount of :."..I.;.". It Is charced that all of this Indebtedness was a per sonal liability of the directors of the telephone company which could and should be collected from Allen and his associates. It Iz further alleged that In order to obtain the discharge of the receiver. Mead represented to the United States J.idi:e at Tacoma that the long-distance company was Wing a profitable busi ness nd would be able to meet all of l:s obligations. Including interest cou pons, and that la order to secure the discharge of the receiver. Mead of fered to surrender for cancellation cou pons held by him and hi associates amounting to JH.iwO. Mr. Sumner further rhargs that the company Is doing a profitable business and Is making more than money enough to pay all of Its fixed charges and Interest. He then charges that for the purpose of freezing out the small stockholders and bondholders, and also for the purpose of preventing the telephone company from collecting the money due it from the National Securities Company and of making large profits for himself and his as sociates. Mead, as the representative of the dominant interests, took prac licallv all of the money from the treas ury o' the long-distance company ana had it sent to California, "here he paid himself and associates full face value for the claims they had bought at a heavy discount. A section of the California statute Is Incorporated into the affidavit for of showing that Allen and his associates were personally llab.e for these debts, which they purchased at a discount, and then paid themselves In full from the money of the long distance company. Officials Are Blamed. It is also alleged In the affidavit that but for the diversion of the funds of the long-distance company to pay these claims, the defendant company could easily have paid its Interest coupons and would not have made de fault: that this default caused by the action of Allefi and the other directors diverting the telephone company's money is made the basis of the fore closure suit brought by the Title In surance ft Trust Company, of which Allen Is president. Sumner mJk.es the further charge that Allen and his company own a large per cent of the stock In the National Securities Company: that Allen la a di rector xt that company; that he Is per sonally liable for his pro rata share of the debts of that company, and that If the National Securities Company would pay the money It owes ttie long distance company, that amount alone would pay all Interest now due from the long-distance company, a well as all Interest that would accrue against that company in the next IS months. PHONEMERGERBLOCKED SAX FRANCISCO PREFERS CITY OWNERSHIP LATER. Farmer Would Grant No Favor to IVcll Concern Until Universal Connections Are Given. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec IS. (Spe cial.) The permit to allow a merger of the Home and Pacific Statea Tele phone companies ran on tha shoal of municipal ownership today, when the publl- utilities and telephone rate committee of the Board of Supervisors met Jointly to consider a recommenda tion of the combination. 4 Three supervisors said they were against recommending a permit and each declared that he was in favor of the acquisition of the Home Telephone Company by the city as a public utility at Its physical valuation. Four other supervisors refused to commit them selves. Several cltlxens appeared before the committee, urging that the merger be allowed, on the ground that the two systems are a financial burden and in convenience. Among these were promi nent men who pointed out the difficul ties attendant upon the dual system. The Snn Francisco labor council was rcpresun:.d by a committee. The speakers pointed out that. If the Pa cific were to acquire the Home fran chise it would be tantamount to an extension of the Pacific company's franchise for 15 years and Insisted that the present board was committed to the acquisition of all public utilities. They argued In favor of a competitive system. Representatives of several Independ ent farmers svstems also appeared be fore the board asking that no favors be granted the big Bell system until that company consented to give long distance connections to all independent companies In the state. The subject wa then laid on the table Indefinitely. Cadet Haxerst Befriended. WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.

I can't figure out and the longer one knows her the more difficult It Is to hitch the work and all It signifies onto the optimistic cheery Miss Samuels. Why, she hasn't even a bowing acquaintance with the blues. "Oh. of course. 1 get Impatient at the slowness of things sometimes, but taken by and largt I'm a pretty con tented sort of a person.

An orchestra, behind a bank of palms and flowers. discoursed soft music until 1'resident Vincent invited the guests to the "Jinks" room. The programme there was In the na ture of a salon. The spacious room was crowded and many persons were seated In the library, adjoining, as Vilmos Westony, the Wagnerian pianist at the Empress, played his first number.

Accompanied by their children, a doz en or more women each night gather at the change of shifts at the Albina shops and follow men employed, becoming as abusive as the men and threatening the strikebreakers, say the reports. Four women and a half dozen chil dren proved a serious hindrance to Deputy Sheriffs Stone and Cowan last night at Russell and Delay streets, while the two special officers were es corting nonunion workmen to their homes. Several of the women threat ened to attack the specials with stones and clubs and only quick action In get. ting the strikebreakera out of the way saved a general fight between the party of women and the deputies.
