Inspects Local Telephone Service and Declares It To Be a Model One.

After Impeding the Richmond Horn Telephone company's plant on North Ninth street ascertaining the business methods employed and the success with which they are carried out, and bow the thirty-two hundred patrons regard the automatic system, T. Buckley, chief electrician for the telephone and telegraph system of the British government In New Zealand, Informed Manager William II. FSailey of the local plant that be regarded the Richmond plant as a model and would so recommend it to his government. Mr. Ituckley was sent to the United Btates to study the telephone and telegraph eondltlons here. Ills trip is made with the view of incorporating new methods and more modern appliances In the systems in New Zealand. Ills Inspection started in the east and from Richmond be went to Chicago, lie came here from Columbus and Dayton. The New Zealund government owns its public service and to improve them is the reason Mr. Buckley Is now In America. Best One Inspected. After gaining all possible knowledge regarding the Richmond plant Mr. Duckley said that of all the systems la the United States he had yet inspected the one In this city was more Ideal in that one phone system served

the entire territory. He holds that competition in local telephone nor vice

Is not advantageous to the patron in that a patron of one company does

not derive the benefit of the other

company's service.

The plant here he held to be a model one and the business development to be exceptional, lie ascertained the company had phones In over 90 per cent of the business houses and in over 60 per rent of the homes. He saps such a development in a local

telephone service Is unusual. In NeV Zealand with the phone scr

Tlce under governmental control conditions In the cities and towns are much the same as in Richmond. In recommending Improvements for the New Zealand system, Mr. Ruckley

said that In the cities of the approxi

mate slie of Richmond, he would ask the Richmond plan be adopted. He

was also much Interested In the suc

cess the company has had with con

crete poles. A wooden telephone pole which costs delivered about $2 In this

city costs in New Zealand $10, and the

life of r pole there Is less than six

years. . ( . .

Buckley Is an Englishman by birth and a New Zeaiander by adoption. He says the country Is progressive, and the population Is largely Scotch and Kngllsh. He declares the government Is similar to that of Canada, with little

Interference by the parent country.

Great Liner "Olympic" Sails

from Southampton.

that re-echoing across the water must have been an entruslastic "bon voyage," the leviathan White Star liner

Olympic, Captain Smith. R. N. R.. sail

ed out from this port today on her

maiden voyage to New York. The

event was a notable one, and thousands of persons assembled to witness

tho departure.

The Olympic, which is a triumph of

marine architecture, sailed gracefully

out of tho harbor, carrying a compli

ment of paBengern, 1..100, besides a crew of So officers and seamen, 36 engineers, 3G0 men In the engine room and stokehold, a chief cook and forty

assistants and innumerable other em

ployes.

The Olympic Is unaproached not on

ly in size but in the matter of luxuri

ous appointments. In every respect

the big ship is a floating hotel. Danc

ing rooms, smoking rooms, cafes, a li

brary and even gardens are anions

the features of the big vessel. There aro a cool avenue of Oriental palms, beds of roBCB and carnations, and ar

bors skillfully contrived by expert

gardeners. Among other interesting

innovations are a awlmming bath, sufficiently deep for diving, ahd a skating

rink.

The suites of cabins are in their tie-

sign and flttlnps equal to the rooms of the finest hotels in Europe. There are many (fining rooms, the principal one

of which Is elaborately decorated and

seats no fewer than Fix hundred. Those who wish to take their meals on deck can do so at a "veranda cafe"

situated on one of tu

fifty feet above

Another novelty is a grillroom. The

cabin suggests an old Knglish chophouse, with high backed sta'.ls of an

cient oak. and broad-low tables. . It will be possible, at any hour of the day or night, for a possenger to use

the grill room. The palm garden is stU4 another refuge for those who
