i
St. I.ouis, Mo., March IT.?At least ]
two persons were killed, liftoon buried !
under debris and ten injured, when the !
west wall of tiic Missouri Athletic [
club building, which was destroyed by j
fire in which thirty persons lost their j
lives, a week ago. collapsed under u|
high wind here late to-day and crashed ;
through a four-story building occu

Tin: wall of the Missouri Athletic
Club building, which stood seven
stories high, crumbled when a thirty

A few minutes before the collapsc,
1 tniKiiiig Commissioner McKilvey. who
was directing 17') men in the work of
exploring the ruins of the Missouri

fall, and ordered hi* men out of the
debris. Tlila action probably prevent

the liricl; wall crashed on the roof of
the four-story building, the walls of

TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS J
TELEPHONE SERVICE OF TO-DAY THE CREATION OF THE BELL CO.
In no line of human endeavor has the inventive
brain of the scientist contributed more to the world's
progress than by the creation of the art of telephony,
of which the Bell System Is the embodiment.
When the telephone was born, nothing analogous
to telephone service as we now know it existed. There
was no tradition to guide, no experience to follow.
The system, the apparatus, the methods?an en
tire new art had to be created. The art of electrical
engineering did not exist. The Bell pioneers, recog
nizing that success depended upon the highest engi
neering and technical skill at once organized an ex
perimental and research department, which is now
directed by a staff of over 550 engineers and scientists,
including former professors, post-graduate students,
scientific investigators?the graduates of over 70 uni
versities.
From its foundation the company has continu
ously developed the art. New improvements in tele
phones, switchboards, lines, cables, have followed one
another with remarkable rapidity.
While each successive type of apparatus to the
superficial observer suggested similarity, each step in
the evolution marked a decided improvement. These
changes, this evolution, have not only been continu
ous, but are continuing. Substantially all of the plant
now in use, including telephones, switchboards, cables
and wires, has been constructed, renewed or recon
structed in the past 10 years.
Particularly in switchboards have the changes
been so radical that installations costing in the aggre
gate millions have frequently been discarded after
only a few years of use.
Since 1877 there have been introduced 53 types
and styles of receivers and 73 types and styles of
transmitters. Of the 12,000,000 telephone receivers
and transmitters owned by the Bell Company January
1, 1914, none were in use prior to 190a, while the
average age is less than five years.
Within 10 years we have expended for construc
tion and reconstruction an amount more than equal
to the present book value of our entire plant.
Long-distance and underground transmission was
the most formidable scientific problem confronting
the telephone experts.
The retarding effect of the earth on the telephone
current often impaired conversation through one mile
underground as much as through 100 miles overhead.
Overhead conversation had its distinct limitations.
No possible improvement in the telephone trans
mitter could of itself solve these difficulties.
The solution was only found in the cumulative
effect of improvements, great and small, in telephone,
transmitter, line, cable, switchboard, and every other
piece of apparatus or plant required in the trans
mission of speech.
While the limit of commercial overhead talking
had increased from strictly local to over 1,000 miles
as early as 1893, it was not until igos that conversa
tion could be had over long-distance circuits of which
as much as 20 miles was in underground cables. By
1906 underground talking distance had increased to
90 miles. By 19x2 it was possible to talk underground
from New York to Washington.
It was then that the construction of underground
conduits from Boston to Washington was determined
upon,?not that it was expected to get a through
underground talk between those places, but in case of
storm or blizzard, to utilize intermediate sections in
connection with the overhead.
Our persistent study and incessant experimenta
tion have produced results more remarkable still.
We have perfected cables, apparatus and methods
that have overcome obstacles heretofore regarded as
insuperable, both to long-distance overhead and un
derground conversation.
Underground conversation is now possible between
Boston and Washington, four times the length of the
longest European underground line. This enabled the
Bell System in the recent great storm, so destructive
on land and sea, to maintain communication for the
public between all the principal points on the Atlantic
seaboard.
Telephone communication is established between
New York and Denver, is potentially possible between
all points in the United States, and by 1915 will be an
accomplished fact between New York and San Fran
cisco.
In our use of methods or apparatus, we arc com
mitted to no one system. We own, control or have
the right to use inventions necessary to operate any
svstem recognized or accepted as the most efficient.
The Bell System must always recognize, and in its
selection must always be governed by the necessities
of a national service, with its complex requirements,
which is infinitely more exacting than local or limited
cervice.
These achievements represent vast expenditures
of money and immense concentration of effort which
have been justified by results of immeasurable benefit
to the public. No local company unaided could bear
the financial or scientific burden of this work. Such
results are possible only through a centralized gen
eral staff, avoiding wasteful duplication of effort
working out problems common to all, for the benefit
of all.
The pioneers of the Bell System recognized that
telephone service as they saw it, was in the broadest
sense a public utility; that upon them rested a public
obligation to give the best possible service at the most
reasonable rates consistent with risk, investment and
the continued improvement and maintenance of the
property.
Without this expenditure of millions and concen
tration of effort, the telephone art as it exists could
not have been developed.
What we have done in working out these great
problems in the past should be accepted as a guar
antee of what we will do in the future.

Tin* testimony was by depositions.
Justice Harrow in announcing his
decision said:
"Extreme cruelty may consist of in

shows tho continuous use of Insulting,
vulgar and abusive language by (inn

numerous pretty acts to annoy and

according to the testimony, a serious
