Show OWNERS ARE INOICTEL FOR PUBLIC COII I fiO L SHOP VAIL FOR REGULATION AS WELL AS PUBLICITY. Grand Jury Holds Wi;.t Company Responsible for Fire Which Caused Death of 145 Employes, SAYS BOTH HERE TO STAY Frank Recognition of Publlo Rights by the President of Western Union and Telephone Companies. Public regulation of publlo service corporations bas come to stay. It ought to bare come and It ought to stay. Tli at Is the flat and unequivocal assertion of Theodore N. Vail, president of both the American Telephone and Telegraph company and the Western Union Telegraph company. It came in the form of bis annual report to the seventy thousand stockholders of the two great corporations. Although Mr. Vall's advocacy of full publicity in connection with the affairs of such concerns was well understood, nobody in financial circles had anticipated so frank an avowal of full public rights in the shaping of their general conduct. It came consequently as a surprise, not only because of its novelty and squareness, eut also on account of the unqualified acquiescence of a board of directors comprising such eminent and conservative financiers as Robert WInson of Ki Mer, Peabody &. Co.. and Henry L. Higglnson of Boston, Henry P. Davison of J. P. Morgan & Co.; Senator W. Murray Crane, George F. Baer, T. V. Jefferson Coolldge Jr., Norman Harris, John I. Waterbury and others. President Vall's declaration is heralded as the first recognition by those in high corporate authority of the Justice of the demand that the public be regarded as virtual partners in all matters that pertain to the common welfare. Ho goes directly to the point. "Public control or regulation of public service corporations by permanent commissions," he says, "has come and come to stay. Control, or regulation, to be effective means publicity; it means semi publlo discussion and consideration before action; It means everything which Is the opposite of and Inconsistent with effective competition. Competition effective competition means New York. Isaac Harris and Max Blunck, owners of the Triangle Waist company, were indicted Tuesday afternoon by the grand Jury investigating the Washington place Are on March 25, as a result of which 145 employes lost their lives.

The district attorney hopes to prove that the girls tried the door on tha ninth floor In an effort to escape, but found it locked. KIDNAPED HI8 NEPHEW.
