First National Bank Against Telephone Company Is Being Heard. CASE INVOLVES INTER COMMUNICATING SYSTEM Case Grew Out of Misunstand ing; Decision Not Rendered for Sometime. Holding a session here today, the Oregon State Railroad commission I. card testimony over the injunction suit filed against the Pacific Tele phone & Telegraph company by the First National Bank, involving tele phone service. The hearing is being held in the county court room at the court house. Members of the commission who are present are Chairman F. J. Miller, and Commissioners C. H. Aitcheson and T. i. Campbell. E. F. Husselle and L. D. Leady are acting as clerk and stenographer. Scores of witnesses are present. Many have teMifLd and many more ire to be called upon this afternoon. It is expected that the hearing will he completed some time arly this at trnooii. The session convened this morning shortly after 10 o'clock. The members of the railroad commis sion, at the completion of the case, will return to Salem. It could not be earned when the decision would be (;:-dercd but it was intimated that it would not be until the next two or three weeks. The case grew out of a misunder standing between the bank people and the telephone company over an inter :ominunicating telephone system em ployed in the bank. According to the injunction! suit on file, it is alleged that the telephone company threaten ed to disconnect their line from the bank, unless the intercommunicating system was disconnected therefrom. This the bank people, so thev assert. would not agree to do, and fearing that the company would carry out its threat, secured the temporary iiiiune lion. There appears to be two sides o the case. The company, it is said, claims that the connection of the in tercommunicating system to their line was in violation of the contract for phone service.
