SCHEDULE NOT MADE PUBLIC
Thi Revision Refers to the Schedule
cf Telephone Rate Between the Sev
eral Telephone Dietricti in New York
City to Go Into Effect
Sicknet in
New York, March 22. Official an
nouncement of a reduction of telephone
tolls in Manhattan, to take effect on
May 1, has been made by Union N.
BetheiU first vice president and general
manager of the New Tork Telephone
Company.
All direct line business subscribers
will be charged the new schedule of
rates regardless of the rates named In
the contract now existing between the
subscribers and the company.
This action was determined on at a
meeting of the board of directors of
the company who have not only re
duced the schedule of rates on limited
calls, but have revised other schedules
to go Into effect in the near future.
This revision refers to the schedule of
toll rates between the several tele
phone districts In New Tork city. The
whole subject has been recently the
cause of much agitation In the news
papers and before legislative commit
tees at Albany.
What reduction will be made In the
tolls between the various boroughs of
Greater New Tork Is as yet unknown,
but the schedules made public so far
show that rates for direct line busi
ness will be lowered on the basis of 20
per cent to small subscribers and about
10 per cent to larger subscribers. In
other words, a customer who now pays
75 a year for 800 outgoing messages
will obtain the same service for $60.
The subscriber who pays $228 now for
4500 calls will pay $204, a reduction of
about 10 per cent

MARRIAGE ILLEGAL.
Matrimonial Bond Tied by Man of
Wrong Faith.
Rome, March 22. Cardinal Gottl,
prefect of the propaganda has In
structed Cardinal Martinello to report
on the case presented by Princess Ros
plgllosi, formedly Marie Jennings Reed
of New Orleans, for annulment of her
first marriage with Colonai Fred H.
Parkhurst of Bangor, Me. This case
will soon be discussed before the con
gregation of the propaganda. It Is
generally believed by ecclesiastical au
thorities that an annulment will be
granted as even admitting that the
Parkhurst Reed marriage was cele
brated with a dispensation which con
sidered him a Protestant, the marriage
Is null and void. It being now estab
lished that Colonel Parkhurst never
was baptized.
