38 Millions to
Better Service,
Says Phone Co.
V* .*.
Wore Than Two-Thirds of
. Amount To Be Spent on
Expansion of System in
New York City District
Adequate Dividends Vital
Answers Service Board's
Criticism of Wages With
List of Five Increases
The New York Telephone Company
Issued a reply yesterday dissenting from
the report filed by the Public Service
Com mission with the Legislature in
which the commission stated that the
telephone service has broken down and
that there was no hope of immediate
improvement. Basing his action on the
report, Assemblyman Louis Cuvillier,
it was announced from Albany, intends
to introduce legislation to penalize the
eompany for failure in duty.
In its reply made through J. S. Mc
C?lloh, vice pres'dtr.t, the telephone
company asserts that it is doing all
in its power to bring the service oack
to normal. The corporation declares
that it is cooperating with the Public
Service Commission and that it must
spend JUK.OOO.OOO this year alone to
remedy the situation. The .company
clnin-.s also, in reply to the charge that
insufficiency of wages was responsible
for *l*e lack of operators, to have
granted increases in wages to operators
amounting to $5,000,000.
Company Tells of Year's Plans
The company's statement follows:
"We are fully cooperating with the
Public Service Commission in restoring
the telephone service in greater New
York to its former high standard. We
have faith-in the future of the tele?
phone business. In 1919 we expended
S19.000,000 for extensions and additions
to the telephone plant in New York.
To meet the unprecedented demand for
additional service with which the com~
puny is faced to-day, we must expend
$38,000,000 in 1920 in further expansion
of telephone plant. Of this $30,000,
')'i'l n list be expended in New York City
alone. ?
"T" induce investors to put their
money in the telephone business in
the past has required the maintenance
of ai adequate dividend and it is vital
to. continue such dividend in order to
obtaa the further large amount of
new* capital es?ential to meet the in
?reas rig needs of the public. The main?
taining of an adequate dividend is in
tjhe .r-terest of the public and of good
i?lei h< ne service.
New Capital Essential
"Unlike many other industries, unless
?there be a sufficient and continuing
bivestmenl of new capital, the service
ihus't inevitably be curtailed and its
quality seriously impaired. The work
dj tensions and additions is being
push? i as rapidly as possible.
" '. , o hi pay of telephone operators
.i. may i * said that operators in New
York City receive higher wages than
are ; id foi similar work in any other
plac? in the United States. We have
mi i five separate distinct increases
operators' -vage schedules since
Januury I, 1919, and, although this has
caused an increase -,n annual expenses
5,000,000 for operators' wages
alone, we have noi permitted that fact
:o stand in the way of our paying
pri p and adequate wages.
"Although our experience in obtain?
ing Sufficient force is no different
from that of every other employer to
ilay. ?? have been and still are making
subs! ntial gains in this respect.
"\V- fully realize that our first and
greatest obligation is to restore the
?- i *. e to a high standard of efficiency
and all other considerations and in?
terests liave been treated as secondary
to the restoration of the service."

Prohibition Proves Case !
Against John Barleycorn
Benefits of Bone-Dry Law Reflected After One
Month by Increased Prosperity in New York
Tenement Districts and Gain in Theater Receipts
A casual investigation of the effects l
of one month of bone-dry prohibition
in New York City seems to build up an
overwhelming and puncture-proof case
in favor of the Eighteenth Amend?
ment.
Exhibit A might be the famous alco?
holic ward at Bellevuc Hospital. It
has been abolished.
"One year ago," said Dr. M. S. Greg?
ory yesterday, "we seldom had less
than two hundred alcoholic patients
here at one time. Frequently we had
four hundred. Now we have none."
And even among the earnest drinkers
who were engaged in establishing a
long-distance, non-stop, catch-as-catch
can record at the horizontal bar when
the Eighteenth Amendment interfered
one can find "ex-tanks" who, while be?
moaning the loss of certain bibulous
liberties, will admit that there are
some virtues to the non-skid life they
have been leading since January 16.
Some Irreconcilables
The Tribune's investigation, con?
ducted with severe neutrality, de?
veloped 'enough arguments in favor of
prohibition to wreck the white paper
market were they printed in detail and
with all their far-reaching ramifica?
tions.
The only persons a Tribune reporter
could find who could see no good what?
ever in a ono-hal fof 1 per cent ex?
istence were those whose pocketbooks
had been torpedoed and wilted by
John Barleycorn's banishment. These
are the irreconcilables who don't hesi?
tate to lay every woe, great or small,
at the door of the Eighteenth Amend?
ment. Most of them are saloon keep?
ers or ex-bartenders.
But even among these are excep
! tions. Hercules Fitzaimmons is worth
a paragraph here. He is a bartender
of parts ana experience. He has pi
! loted the foaming South Street schoon
I era and mixed the delicately perfumed
; clover club. He admits that if all the
I bars he has affectionately tended m his
: career were placed end on end they
[ would reach from the Five Points to
Scapa Flow. Hercules, known to thou?
sands of New Yorkers, is putting in
his spare time now selling cigars.
"I wouldn't bring the booze back if I
could," he said yesterday." John put
! many a good man away in his time and
I had a lot of others on the skids when
. the amendment hit him and knocked
; him for a goal.
1 "Of course, it's the living destruc
ti n of our personal liberty and all
tUat sort of thing, but somehow or
other there seems to be mere happi?
ness in the world to-day than there
ever was before. I never saw the like
of it. 1 guess maybe some of them per?
sonal liberties was not so good for
us."
Kent Collecting Easy
A blind man can go out and find the
happiness Hercules Fitzsimmons speaks
of. One has only to walk through any
of the city's tenement house districts
to become convinced. Prohibition's
strongest argument can be heard from
the lips of the rent collector in these
'? districts, and from the women of
j many children whose business it is to
meet him when he comes around with
i hi?, hand out.
Morris Abrams, agent and collector
I of rents for vurious tenement proper
I ties in Rivington, Cherry and other
; East Side streets, has air enlightening
story to tell.
"Prohibition fias completely revolu?
tionized my business," said Mr.
Abrams. "Rent collecting in the ter?
ritory I cover used to be the toughest
job in New York. It was a continual
bnttle, and you oitheT had to have a
heart of stone or go out of business.
Life used to be one dispossess not ice
after another, and I tfuess some of our
evictions left, the tenants in pretty
tough circumstances, with their furni
; lure on the* sidewalk and no place
to go.
"I don't think it is an exaggeration
to say that 95 per cent of these evic?
tions could be traced to drink. Primar
I ily they were because there wasn't
enough money in the house to nay the
: rent. The money wasn't there because
: the old man didn't have a job. and he
didn't have a job because he could not
take his mind off the corner ginnrill.
"I began to notice the change in the
situation a month after war-time pro?
hibition became etrv-rtTve, although the
i town at that time was far from dry.
| My clients began to be a little easier
| financially, and as a consequence my
! work became pleasanter. Folks who
! used to pay their rent in four install
[ ments began to deliver it in two and
?there was loss necessity for resorting
to the dispossess notice.
"By last December an eviction be
i came a rare event and last Christinas
j was the most prosperous one 1 evei
?saw on the Fast Side. One month ot
I air-tight Federal prohibition has re
| moved all the old difficulties from my
business.
Easy Job These Days
"Collecting rents in the average Riv
? ington Street tenement is as easy to-day
as it would bo in an elevator apart! :
houso on Riverside Drive. 1 know,
also, that this is not peculiar to my
business. It holds good with trades?
men and merchants throughout my dis?
trict. 1 asked a grocer the other day
| if he didn't find that people were pay?
ing thoir bills more regularly. 'Bills?'
? he replied. 'I don't have any bills any
I more. People are paying cash these
? days for everything they get.' "
| Asked what effect prohibition had
had on the business of the Bowery
i Savings Bank, Henry A. Schenck, pres
| ident, pointed to the fact that in the
| first twelve-days of war-time prohibi
I tion the deposits made with the bank
I increased more than $1,000,000 as com?
pared with the corresponding period of
? the previous year.
A well known New York real estate
; operator said that his business had
I hoomed wonderfully in the last month.
He was inclined to attribute it to the
fact that prohibition has given people
an opportunity to invest money in
j property anrf has set them to thinking
j about the future.
He said he figured that $1,000,000
j a day was spent for liquor in New
! York and that one reason for the real
j estate boom was that this money was
j being spent with merchants and was
. making it necessary for them to open
j new stores or enlarge their premises.
That much of the money that used
? to flow over the bars is now being
; diverted to the theaters and movie
i houses is testified to by the fact that
| practically every amusement place in
j the city has witnessed a great increase
in the volume of business since Jan
; uary 16.
"People are going to the theater |
more than they ever did before," said !
Loe Shubert. "This is not only true I
; of New York, but it holds good through- |
! out the country. Our theaters in the
| West have all reported increased busi
, ness in the last month. Our patrons
1 are getting to the theater earlier and
seem to have abandoned the old habit
of going out between the acts."
Hugo Riesenfold, managing director
; of the Rivoli and the Rialto, two of
i New York's largest movie houses, de?
clared that the atendanoe at these the?
aters had increased from 25 to 40 per
cent since September and had taken a
derided jump .since January 16.
"While our attendance figures for j
19.19-1920 have at times reached 100]
', per cent, above those for a correspond
ing period in 1918," said Mr. Riesen- j
] feld. "they are now '?b per cent ahead
of those for this time last year, and I
1 this is very significant when you con- j
sider the awful weather we have been j
having."
While Police Commissioner Enright !
! refused to.give his opinion as to the!
effec s of Federal prohibition t?r\d dc
; elared that statistics dealing with ar?
rests since January 16 were not avail
i able, it is authoritatively stated that
i prohibition bas brought with it a very
decided decrease in crime.
The influence of prohibition has been !
fell even in the Marriage License Bu-I
reau in the Municipal Building. Chief!
; Clerk Edward W. Hart reported that |
: the number of licenses issued this I
year is greater by 1,000 than for a
corresponding perioi* in 1919.
"Do 1 think it's on account of pro?
hibition?" said Mr. Hart. "Well, you
: can take your choice between prohi
I bition and Leap Year."

Judge to Resign
Prohibition counted another
victim yesterday. He was George
A. Littlejohn, police magistrate
at Mine?la, who resigned his office
because there has been nothing
for him to do since the red liquor
stopped flowing. The only mis?
creants before Judge Littlejohn
in weeks were some boys charged ?
with snowballing the school jani- I
tor. I
"There is no reason why 1
should spcrd my time hanging j
around a co, rVroom hreathing to- |
bacco smoke," he explained. "I
wait for business, but none comes.
I put in good hours for which I
receive no pay. Everybody is be?
having himself. I shall go back
to the practise of law."

lapsible bicycle. He is at the Hamilton :
Theater this week and wTTl be at the |

Clara Kimball Young in "The For- !
bidden Woman" is announced as the '
feature picture offering at the Capitol
Theater next week. There has been !
considerable rivalry among managers
to secure this production, and the j
"beat" scored by the Capitol will be an- j
noun?ed Saturday night by a flood of
green lights across the sky. An equip- ?
ment of army searchlights stationed *.t ;
various parks and centrally located

Callers "Very Brassy"'
Mrs. Spang Writes She Wished
They'd Stayed Away
Four more witnesses testified before
Surrogate Cohalan yesterday thp.t they
believed Mrs. Rosa E. Spang, whose
will is being contested, was rational.
Mrs. Mabel Spang Ancker, daughter of
the testatrix, seeks to prove her
mother was mentally incompetent.
Mrs. Isabella Ryttenberg, of 17 Fast
Thirty-seventh Street, one of the wit?
nesses, said she believed Mrs. Spang
was rational. She then heard former
Senator Brackett, attorney for Mrs.
Ancker, read a reference to Mrs. Ryt?
tenberg from Mrs. Spang's diary. It
referred to Mrs. Ryttenberg and her
son Clarkson as "very brassy," and
added that Mrs. Spang wished they hud
stayed away.
