Systen lor City Going
Ahead Rapidly - Large
Force of Men Are at Work
The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
company havo arranged a very attrac
'ive telephone ex'rb't in ther windows
in the Kxchange building, near the
postoffico, whero they are showing the
urioim styles of new tolcpiinnc equip-
mcnt that Medford will bo furnished
fust tn workmen can inatall it. The
work is rapidly going ahead and will
be kept up until Medford has an good
a system as can be found in any other
city of the state.
Thre;! phones arn shown the office
wall phone, the office desk phono and
ihe residence phone. All of them are
ol the latest model and arn said to rep
resent the iighent attainment of the
phono ineuufacturer 's art. Thoy will
work upon a central energy nwitchbonrd
by which it will be possible to rail cen
tral by Bimply removing the receiver
from the hook. The old laboriouH
cranking of tho bell will be dono away
with. With this flvsti'm it is also much
easier to cut off on" connection and
get a second one, and assurea the patron
of the most rapid Hcrvice.
Tho different sized cables that are to
be employed in rewiring tho city are
shown. Over 34,000 feet of this cable
will ho used in Medford alono. Tho ca
bles carry 1f, 50t 100, lf0, 200 and 400
paira of wires. Tho larger cables are
of course for tho main linos in the down
town district and ns tho suburbs are
reached the cable will bu graduated
'own. Henco even tho residence dis
tricts of the city will enjoy the uso of
fables, thus diminishing to tho greatest
possible degree tho unsightly wires
strung every which way. Tho cables
ire also thoroughly coated, giving the
lines the best of protection against non
insulation, which is the greatest evil tho
company has to contend with in furnish
rig service for it is the poor insulation
. f wires that causes the weak response
on the part of the phones.
Over 20 workmen are at present en
gaged in reconstructing the system in
this city. Ono gang is busily engaged
in preparing the new poles for erection,
:ind another is ut work rewiring tho
different residences nnd business houses
of the city. When this is completed
and the new lines are all in place the
new switchboard, which is now upon
it way to Medford, will havo arrived
and have been installM. Then one
fine day Medford w-ll uwuke to find
she is blessed with a decent telephone
system.
The new switchboard will require sii
operators. These gir's will be ahlo with
the new equipment to give n much more
-atisfaetory service.
In Grants Pass the company is also
ut.-' king a number of improvements.
When the two cities are connected up
with the new system tho service will
be much more satisfactory between the
I wo points. .lark son ville is to be
equipped with u new switchboard and
service f rom this po:nt to the county
sent will bo greatly improved.
The company does not expect any
b t tip in th improviment of the sys
tem in this city. They are to continue
the work until it is completed, regard
lews of anything which might arise. They
havn promised Medfori eomplMe and
modern svstem and thy intend to fnl

Judge Anderson Made
Rulings
CHICAGO, March 10. Tho great
Standard Oil case, iu which a fine of
''!!, 2 Hi.oOO was imposed by Judge Lan
dis in tho first trial, was wiped out
today, and now belongs to history.
The government attorneys abandoned
lh'. ciikc this morning following a ruling
of Judge Anderson, ntating that It would
be impossible to obtain a conviction un
der the circumstances.
The Standard Oil company's attor
neys immediately following this an
nouncement moved for an acquittal. The
jury was brought in and instructed and
then returned a verdict of acquittal.
The government abandoned tho case
following a ruling of .fudge Anderson
dismissing all the counts referring to
ihipinetits from Chappellc, III. The gov
ernment attorney, WilkiiiHon, asked the
court if it was true that on the evi
dence so far presented it would be im
possible to convict defendants. The
court rqilied iu the M'firmuiivc to Wil
kinson, who said: "Then there Is no
use going on. The government rests."
The defense then motioned that a ver
dict of ncfjiiittal be brought. The court
explained that he dismissed the counts
because of a fatal variance bet wen
the indictment and the evidence. The
verdict of acquittal wipes out complete
ly the famous $20,000,0110 fine imposed
in the first trial by Judge Landis.
