It is Inconspicuous, unobtrusive, though
one of the sights of the town.
It has an Episcopal halo, but the odor of

It limits the beer collar to five-eighths

It was projected and Is managed by a
newspaper man, who Is an experienced
press agent.
It affords an abundance of Saleable news
for spare writers.
These are not all the "blessings" vouch

most favorable auspices. It is located in
a three-story red brick building on the
southeast corner of Mulberry and Bleeker
streets, on the edge' of the Bowery. "8ub

Inside, pasted on the walls, are several

Another Is: "Good soda, water and good
beer are equally harmless If taken tem

Anotheri "We serve the purest beer and

one would suppose. Instead it is passed

the wall. The clerk gives his order by
sticking his head through this slot and
yelling to the barkeeper, "draw one," or
"draw two," as the case may be. It "Is

The soda department Is separated from
the bar by a partition and a large sign
'This Way to the Water Wagon." Just
across the fount la the cigar stand and
back of it the manager's office, a little
corner hidden by a screen. The walls are
covered with burlap. The floors are bare.
A Rnah Hoar.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Pub
lic ledger, who visited the Tavern during
the noon hour, found a Bonesteel rush in
action. About 150 men were in the bar
room standing before the bar or sitting at
little tables with glasses of beer or whisky
before them. Many were in their shirt
sleeves, Just as they came from work.
There are twenty or more drinking tables.
In on corner is a long table littered
with newspapers and a few magazines.
This Is the .only suggestion of a "working
man's club" In the place. The manage
ment buys the papers at a cost of perhaps
10 cents a day. Men were reading while
they nipped their beer. Near the reading
table. ls the free lunch stand. A crowd
Stood before It pushing each other aside
to get at the plates of steaming soup. Sev
eral paintings adorn the walla - Cartoons
and sketches are arranged over the south
ern wall. Borne of the men walked about
With glasses of beer in their hands admir
ing the artlatlo display.
Over by the bar two men were talking
about Bishop Potter as they ordered drink
after drink. One, a German, was saying:
'Dot bishop Is all right. He has snot
peer put In here, all right, yea He 1 like
h Jamtnles ever m the o country. He
tnks his lltti utein and likes to see odder
fellows do the same, yes."
A rotter Cocktail.
A man walked Into a saloon this morn
ing with a thirst that might well defy a
Niagara of the nunshop's output.
"Gimme a Potter cocktail," he said. In
a voice that seemed strained through shav
ings and sawdust.
"Coma again," responded the barkeeper.
"Can fix you up on a Hannah Ellas, a
Subway or even a Tin Hoof, but the Potter
one Is new to me,"
"Wet!, get busy." ordered the thirsty one.
"No dinky little glass, but a Iran: one, with
a good-staod piece of Ice In it. No chopped
ice, mind. Now' then, a good hooker of
gin. That wfQ about do. Stromas to the
Juice of a lemon and duett add any of the

Fill her up with carbonic, and there yoa
are?"
The "water wagon" was not neitrty so
crowded as the bar. There are only stx
stools at the counter. In the runs shop
there are thirty-five comfortable chairs.
Men with a big- glass of beer In one hand
and a sandwich in the other stood around
waiting for a chance to sit duwnv while
room naar the soda fountain went begging.
One thln-faned boy served the soda custo
mers, and he was not overworked.
Women and girls and children who sat at
the marble bar of the fountain looked
through the wide-open doors into the tav
ern and saw the men drinking there. At
one time during the busy noon hour there
were stx girl a at the fountain, and three
of them ordered beer. The others were
content wtih ice oream sodas.

the pollslied surface of the bar were
shoved schooners of beer, highbaDa, cock
tails. Cases of gin and rlrkeys. anything
and everything to supply the varied de
mand for "boose."
Nearly all the other saloonkeepers In Jibe
neighborhood drupved tn to look the place
over and find out what kind of whisky "the
now Joint" la selling for M cents a drink.
Many were I ruin the Bowery, and some
are worried over aefeetlons in the ranks
of their regular customers, due, they fear,
to the superior attractiveness) of the
"Bishop's place," as it la known In the
neighborhood.
The "high hsts" of beer In the new place
make the biggest schooners In the Bowery
grog shops look small. "We will," says the
promoter of the enterpriBe, "try to give our
patrons more for their money than they
can get at any other saloon In town. If," this
Intoreftlng statement goes on, "a man has
got to drink a gallon of beer, we give him
beer that Is pure and that will not hurt
him any more than so much soda water
perhaps not so much.'' Food Is to be served
with drinks "as much' as possible, so as
to diminish the bad effects of Intoxicating
liquors."
So I.I ml t to the Jag.
A New Tork paper sent an experienced
member of the staff to. the tavern to de
termine how much of the pure stuff was
necessary for a Jag. It happened that the
reporter had served a ten years' appren
ticeship In the court of Bacchus and It took
eighteen drinks to pat him away. He had
no difficulty In getting them, .he reports,
and he backed out of the place loaded to
the scuppers. According to the more or
less coherent report of his exploit which
appeared in the paper he started out on
rye. Afyr three shots of this he veered
over to bourbon and then made a gentle
carom to Scotch. From this point he ran
the whole alcolhollo gamut At no time,
he claims, did the bar clerk remonstrate
with him or refuse to sell him a drink. It
was only when he tried to "rough house"
the place that he was put out. Here Is a
paragraph from the newspaper report:
"On my tenth drink I became unduly pro
fane and staggered helplessly against the
bar. I spilled the contents of my "chaser"
glass on the bar, and It was refilled. I
'called loudly upon my friends to uphold
me and chlded them In Bowery expletives
for drinking "soft stuff.' My eleventh drink
was given to me when simulating the last
stages of Intoxication. I filled my whlnky
glass to the top, then, with a tremulous
hand, renoured it into the whisky bottle.
Never was there a word of admonition
spoken to me."
When BiRhop Potter dedicated the new
saloon he probably did not think It would
become one of the sights of New Tork.
Now the "seelng-New Tork" coaches stop
In front of the place, and the man with the
megaphone shouts -out in his perfunctory
way: "To the right Is the celebrated Sub
way Tavern, dedicated by Bishop Potter.
We will pause here for five minutes and
passengers may descend for refreshments."
Manager and Promoter.
Joe Johnson, manager of the tavern, Is
one of New Tork's characters. Ho wns
formerly a reporter on the World, and a
good one. He belonged to the robust school
of Journalism of which James Creelman and
Doo Cohn are the two best surviving ex
amples. He quit the World to enter the
game of reform politics, and in the new
field he was a great 'success. Mayor Ixiw
thought so much of him that he gave the
ex-reporter a 5,000 berth. He was one of
the conspicuous figures In the last munici
pal campaign. He organized the , Acorn
club and did great service for Low, but It
proved ineffective. - He was fired when Mc
Clellan came in. After a year's eclipse he
emerged again with the reform salooti Idea
and enlisted the support of some of the
best people In New Tork, among them, a
before remarked, BfShop Potter. Johnson
Is said by those who know him best to be
on the level in the new scheme. Money
with him Is a second a close second consideration.

said the teacher.

INDIANAPOLIS EIIONE SYSTEM
Second Company Has Bad to Beorganiw
U Keep Going.
PROSPECTS AfiE GOOD FOR HIGHER RATES
Competition Has rrodaced He Change
la t'haraes Exacted of lib.
scrlbers y the Older Ke
tabllsbed Company.
INDIANAPOLIS, July K. (Special Cor
respondence of The Bee.) Competition has
given Indianapolis some very cheap tele
phones, but, as In th case in all" cities
where two exchanges are in existence,
hundreds of cltlaens have the additional
expense of a second telephone forced upon
them. Furthermore, an advance in the
rates of the "Independent" company is
more than probable it is really necessary
to enable the "Independent" te make both
ends meet The two companies operating
at Indianapolis are the Central Union Telephone-company,
which uses the Bell in
struments, and the Indianapolis Telephone
company, organized about two months ago
to take over the property of the New Tele
phone company, which began operatlona in
1899. The contract between the city of
Indianapolis and the New Telephone com
pany provided that the company should
not Issue more than tiOO.OOO of stock, and a
desire to Increase the stock to $1,200,000 gave
birth to the Indianapolis Telephone com
pany. The second telephone company entered
the field a little more than four years
ago, . offering business 'phones at $40 a
year and residence 'phones at $24. At that
time the Central Union company charged
$72 for direct wire business service. $12 for
two-party line business servloe and $48 for
direct line residence service. ' About r,600
citizens signed contracts to patronize the
new cbmpany, being induced to do so by
the extremely low rates offered and a de
sire in many quarters to give the old com
pany a touch of competition. It was the
opinion of many telephone users that the
advent of the second company would force
the Central Union to cut its rates ma
terially, but this condition has not been
realized. The Central Union, It is. true,
has reduced Its rate of $48 for a direct line
residence service to $36 and has Introduced
party line residence service at $24 and $18,
and a four-party line business serv
ice at $30, but these changes, the
officers of the company assert would
have beep made even if there
had been no competition. The old com
pany charges the same for direct line and
two-party line business service as it did
before Its competitor came into existence.
Both companies give prompt and effi
cient service locally, but the Central Union
has an immense Advantage over its com
petitor in the toll line business, for it
reaches about 2,800 cities and towns in
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois on its own lines,
and connects with the American Telephone
and Telegraph company for about 100,000 ad
ditional points in thirty-four states. The
Indianapolis Telephone company has only
about 1,200 out-of-town connections.
Bnrdem of Two Telephones. ,
In the city of Indianapolis and 1U suburbs
the new and old companies have about the
same number of subscribers. The Indian
apolis company, In a statement published
In April of this year, claimed to have 8,697
buslnena and 4,000 residence subscribers,
while the Central Union directory shows
about 4,200 business and about 3,800 resi
dence 'phones In use. five years ago, be
fore competition, the Central Union had
loss than 2,000 subscribers in Indianapolis,
so that in this case competition seems to
have been "the life of the trade," for the
business of . the company . has quadrupled.
About 2.S00 business and professional men
of Indianapolis find it necessary to keep
both 'phones, and as the business rate of
the old. company has not been reduced, the
additional expense put upon these telephone
users amounts to Just what the 2,800 new
'phones cost them $40 each, or $112,000 a
year In the aggregate,
That the Indianapolis Telephone com
pany, In order to avoid bankruptcy, must
advance ttsrates or get new Income else
where can be shown by a brief review of
its earnings and expensea Telephone com
panies In Indiana are assessed by the Stella
Board of Tax CommlsHioners, to which they
are required to report their earnings and
expenses under oath. For the last fiscal
year, that of 1902-3, the Indianapolis Tele
phone company, then known ea the New
Telephone sompany, reported , gross
earnings of $173,621.66 and op-atlng
expenses of $130,426.22, leaving $42,
T71.M for Interest on bends, divi
dends on stock, improvements and 'exten
sions and sinking fund. As the Indianap
olis Telephone company guarantees the
principal and Interest on the bonds-and (
per cent dividends pn the stock of the New
Telephone oompany, here are fixed charge
of $40,000 for Interest and $24,000 for divi
dends, as the New Telephone company has
tX)0Q of 5 per cent bonds and $400,000 of
stock. Bo, without allowing a sinking- fund
to provide for the payment of the principal
of the bonds, the Indianapolis Telephone
company has undertaken to pay $62,000 a
year interest on the capitalisation of ita
predecessor, while the gross earnings of
the business for the laart fiscal year were
only $44771 in excess of the operating ex
penses. With a deficit here of about $20,000
a year, how does the Indianapolis Tele
phone company expect to pay dividends on
the $900,000 of additional stock recently pro
vided for?
"Don't you find that your expense per
'phone Increases as your exchange grows
larger?" was asked of Secretary It B. Sale
of the Indianapolis Telephone company.
"Tee," replied the secretary.
"Considering that fact, your company
will have to advance ltajrates very soon?"
"W are not saying anything about ad
vancing rates Just now. We will come to
that later on."
It was apparent from the secretary's
manner that the necessity for an advance
In rates had impressed the officers of the
oompany with Its Importance.
Comparison of Two Plants.
The Central Union Telephone company's
lines sxtend over three states, and as the
Indianapolis Telephone company's business
la all Within the borders of Indiana, th
return made by the former company to the
State Board of Tax Commislsoners Is of
no significance for comparative purposes.
The gross earnings of the Central Union,
however, are sufllclentry In exoess of the
operating expenses to more than cover In
terest on the capitalisation, which is not
the case with the Indianapolis company
with the extremely low rates. The Central
Union company's gross earnings for the
last fiscal year amounted to $3,004,10$, and
the operating expenses, including taxes, to
$2,069,046, leaving a balance of $91K,0C7 for
Interest on capitalisation, royalties and
officers aalarkex. The capitalisation of the
Central Union comprises $3,E7.1(N of stock
and K0U0.0U0 of bonds. The interest on the
bonds at t per oent would amount to $300.-
a year and per cent dividends on the
Stock to tllt.rt, making a total of
and learta $X4.Ka for royaiti and offl
rs ssJarlea Ttia GMutnd Uiitoa kiua
SllTT tulles of wire, aa' against X.7 tnOes
for the Indianapolis company. The Oetitral
Union property Indiana is ssiimau. J at
$3.Li, wUls th Indianapolis Telephone
company Is assessed at $SX3.a2. These fig
ures Indicate the superiority of the one sys
tem over the other.
Aa ladlanaiMitis baiiker, whuee naua Is
t not published for the meson that he has
dealings with both telephone , companies,
said:
"When the new telephone company, with
Its proml. ot $40 and $24 telephones,
was projected a few years ago, pub
lic sentiment was ' practically all In
favor of It A very large number of our
people, , not being familiar with the ex
pense of operating a telephone business,
had an Idea that the rates of the old oom
pany were simply exorbitant and that the
new concern coald furnish the service at
greatly reduced urates and make money.
Some people even had the Idea that the
new company would drive the old one out
of business here, but of course this was a
wild fancy. Since we have had the com
petition the old company hna Increased Its
local business four-fold, and as Its foil
line connections are simply Indispensable
to our business men, tkere isn't th slight
est chance for its being driven out of the
field. As a matter of fact, the old com
pany fa making money for its owners,
while the new concern's rates are so low
that It cannot support Its capitalization.
The new telephone company, now known
as the . Indianapolis Telephone company,
appears to me to be a bond and stock job
bing enterprise. In which the promoters
will reap the harvest at the outset and
leave the ultimate stockholders to hold the
sack. I can see no future for the Indian
apolis Telephone company, unless it suo
ceeds in selling out to the Central Union,
and this is Improbable, because jthe old
company has no use for parallel conduits
and pole lines."
What Business Mew iay.
Other Indianapolis telephone men speak
of .the 'double telephone service as follows:
Lilly A Stallnaker (retail hardware)! "One
telephone company la enough. If there
were rfve companies here we would have
to have five 'phones In our store, and If
you can point out any saving or advantage
In such "an arrangement you at entitled
to a medal. The service Is not better than
It was before competition, and the ex
pense is greater." s
George A. Gay " (New Tork department
store): "Competition makes more telephone
users, and In that way It is beneficial to
us. However, we would much prefer to
have all telephone users In one exchange,
for that would be less expensive and less
annoying."
Secretary tloover of the Commercial club:
"There is no particular advantage in having
the telephones, but they make more ex
pense and tax our patience."
M. J. Stewart (retail grocer) t "I have stx
stores and use the Central Union In
all of them and the new telephone in two.
Of course it would be less expensive to
anyone In the grocery business to have only
one telephone company In operation. I am
simply forced to pay for two more tele
phones than I had any use for wlen there
was but the one exchange here."
W. II. Messenger (retail furniture): "I
think competition has resulted In an im
provement of th service. I use only the
Central Union in my place of business and-.
I pav the same for it as I did before the
other company started."
Frank H. Carter (retail druggls)t: "There
ought to be but one telephone and the peo
ple who use It ought to be made to pay for
It That Is the reason I like the nlckel-in-the-Blot
arrangement the Central Union has
for drug stores and other places where peo
ple run to when they want to use a 'phono.
I am forced to have the new. 'phone here
also and I have to. pay for that myself.
Two 'phones are a nuisance."
' Mooney-Mueller company (wholesale drug
gists): "We do not consider competition In
the telephone business a good thing, for it
simply requires us to use two 'phones where
one ought to do the business. The double
deal makes expense and trouble for us."
Schnull. & Co. (wholesale grocers)) "W
are pleased with the local service of the
new company, but it is very weak in 'toll
line connections and we cannot dispense
with the old company's service."
Orchard : Wilhelm (Sarpet (So.
