DEFINITE PLEAS
, OUTLINED FOR
RATE HEARING
Commuters' Case Will Be
Based on Three Definite
Charges R. R. Heads
Silent on Discrimination.
Threo clearly defined and distinct points
tipou which tho passenger rate Increase,
pronosed by the railroads wilt bo com
baled before the Pennsylvania Public
Service Commission here next Thursday
wore agreed upon UiIb morning at a meet
Ins of tho Joint transportation and subur
ban corrfmltteo of tho United Business
Men's Association In tho ofllco of Udward
IS. Martin, chairman.
First, It wilt bo shown that Philadelphia
lias bcon tho victim of unusual discrimi
nation on tho part of tho railroads In that,
.wllllo n general rise In passenger tariffs
MS beon pronosed throughout tho Bast,
tho Increase In commutation service Is
directed particularly against Philadelphia
and not against. Now York and other
cities,
Second, attornoys for tho Joint commit
tee will present proof to show that tho
railroad companies havo not compiled
with tho public service company law In
that they failed to post and publish
notices of tho proposed lncrcnsa In tho
stations along their lines, whcro the
change would bo effective.
Third, tho Commuters will contend that
tho Interstate Commerce Commission In
suggesting that the railroads Increase tho
passenger tariffs did so with reference
to long hauls and not with nny thought
that tho commutation servlco would bo
affected.
In view of tho general misunderstand
ing regarding this last point, the com
mittee, at the conclusion of Its meeting,
gave out tho following statoment:
"The general Impression which tho pub
lic labors under that tho Interstato Com
merce Commission directed tho railroads
to ralso the passenger rato fares Is an
erroneous one, when generally considered.
"Tho Interstato Commorco Commission
has officially declared that they havo no
authority over Intrastate rates. Long
hauls covering Interstate traffic has been
the servlco which the railroads claim Is
a losing venture. This Is tho passenger
service under tho Jurisdiction of tho In
terstate Commerce Commission.
"Therefore, when they Intimated to the
railroads that tho passenger rates be
raised they only could havo referred to
those long Interstato rates which como
under their supervision, and not local
commutation rates, with which they have
nothing to do."
Tho attorneys for tho committee will
meet AVednesday morning, the day before
tho formal hearing, to review tho final
testimony to be presented the commission.
RAILROAD HEADS SILENT.
Officials of the Pennsylvania and the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com
panies today refused to offer any de
fen.Be against the chargo made by com-
Service Commission that their companies
jwere guilty of discrimination against
Philadelphia.
The protests filed -with tho commission
y local complainants show that, while
allroads running Into Philadelphia will
fexuet a general lncreaso in fares to all
olnts, they havo announced an addi
tional sweeping Increase in commutation
tariffs affecting this city particularly.
At the same tlmo not one of the rail
roads touching Now York city has ex
pressed intention of advancing the com
mutation rates, although each has an
nounced a general increase in regular
passenger rates.
When asked to glvo some explanation
of this alleged Injustice to Philadelphia,
E. J, Weeks, general passenger agent for
the Philadelphia and Reading Railway
Company, replied: "I have nothing to
say,"
D. N. Bell, general passenger agent for
the Pennsylvania itallroad, tl reply to a
similar question, answered that tho
Pennsylvania officials would havo
otning to say for publication until tne
orroal hearing before the commission.
NOT ASKED TO REPLY.
No charges of discrimination have
een made to us," he added, "and It the
ubllc Service Commission wished us to
make any reply to the complaints filed
ETvlth them they would let us know. This
consideration will probably bo taken up
at the hearing next Thursday, and we
'twill make all explanations there."

aj iiiutw.ci, Mtjaiiiob wio iiikicoaa utuiig

The charge of discrimination against
hlladelphln on the part of the rail-
ads Is taken up In particular In the
econd complaint. The withdrawal of
ertaln forms of the commutation tickets
nd the increase in price of others near
hiladelphla by the Pennsylvania Rail-
ad is declared to tie "unjust, unreason-
ble and discriminatory," because the
ame action has not been taken In the
uburcan xone near New York city.
The complaint further states If the pro-
osea increase is allowed to become ef-
ectlve it will so reduce the area from

ompeueu to remove to New York or

SAUCE FOR THE KAISER; 'NOT
GUILTY,' SAYS 'HOGG COURT'
Young; Socialists Find Ho Hoally
Didn't Instigate Great War.
Kaiser Wllhelm was acquitted of con
spiracy to Instigate the great European
war before tho "Hogg Court," where ho
was tried, under auspices of tho Young
People's Socialist League, Apollo Hall,
1728 North Broad street, last night
Both the prosecution, ably represented
by Meyer Snyder, and tho defense, well
conducted by Isaao Paul, tried their best,
the first to hang tho Kaiser, and the
other to havo htm acquitted on Uie alibi
that ho was defending "culture and civili
zation." For n while It looked bad for the Kaiser,
as "Andrew Barnegle," tho Czar of Rus
sia, and a Red Cross nurso gave some
tcry damaging testimony against him.
Ills stock rose considerably, however,
when tho Sultan of Turkey and Mr. Wil
liam Jennings Orapojulce testified In his
behalf. But what seemed to Influence
tho "court" most In tho Kaiser's favor
was his own testimony.
So bitter and emotional did tho trial
appear at certain stages that at one point
tho Czar of Russia and the Knlscr al
most camo to a sword duel. At another
Juncture, with tho appearance of tho
Sultan, the love scene enacted between
tho latter and tho Kaiser detained tho
proceedings for a short Intervnl.
There waB perfect sllcnco In the court
room as tho court clerk called the court
to order and announced, "The World vs.
Tho Knlsor."
The associate Judges were a cannibal.
appointed to the position fcr tho reason
that, being a savage, and, therefore un
tainted by tho practices of civilization,
ho was most competent to Judge tho
Kaiser; a deaf, dumb and blind Judge,
occupying the exalted position because
"being blind ho typified Justice;" n China
mnn, and wild Indian, recognized In every
way as superior in their methods to those
who employ civilized warfare. The can
nibal's qualification also lay In tho fact
that ho did not speak English.
"I particularly am pleased with tho
blind Judge," said the attorney for the
prosecution, Meyer Snyder, "I hope that
thoso Judges who are not blind will try
to overcome tho difficulty by using their
Intelligence."
The Czar of Russia, Samuel Packman
claimed, "was dragged Into the war
against his will." He gave a detailed
account of RusBlan culture with the evi
dent Intention to prove that Slav culture
was superior to tho German kultur. "As
evidence, tho Czar pointed to what he has
dono for the Jews In tho past and what
ho has promised to do for thorn In the
future. Ho denied that ho ordered any
mobilization before the Kaiser declared
war, saying that he called his soldiers
for mere target practice. As another evi
dence of Russian culture, he gave the
fact that "there are no laws In Russia
which makes cleanliness compulsory."
The attorney for tho defense scored nn
Important point when he proved that "the
Kaiser was tho only man who was ablo
to drive Russia, France and England into
an alley."
Tho Kaiser, on the witness stand,
claimed that "tho alley bunch were try
ing to block my almost successful work
of civilizing the wholo world." Ho be
came very defiant and exclaimed, "But I
am going to do it If I havo to lick tho
wholo gang." "German kultur," said the
Kaiser, "was the best of all. It Is the
mother of necessity and the father of all
desires."
The Sultan, Martin Hartogs, defended
tho Kaiser ably, through an Interpreter,
Professor Bubenkratzer.

and adequate suburban train service at frequent hours during
the day and night, with high-class modern train equipment to
and from all stations in thb suburban field, bringing it at all
times within close communication with tho.heart or. tho city.
The low rates of fare maintained, the high-class service
and tho various forms of commutation tickets provided, aro
features which must prove attractive to the-suburban dweller,
as well as materially aid in the further development of this
entire region.
As a special accommodating feature for suburbanites,
tho Pennsylvania Railroad carries free 06 cost for holders of
commutation tickets, from Philadelphia to tho stations called
for on their tickets, sixty pounds or less of marketing and
vegetables, also bread in bags or baskets, and.buttcr in kettles
ana tubs, when intended strictly lor tamily use! Tins service
is supplied to all stations within thirty milcs'of Philadelphia
to which commutation tickets are sold, except on the Capo
May Division of the West Jersey & Seashore Railroad, on
which marketing will not be carried free to stations beyond
Glassboro or Swcdesboro.

Vacation place of sojourn during tho heated summer months,
there will be found In the following pages much valuable infor
mation carefully collated, as to the names of hotels and board

FAVORS POLICY OF
LIVE AND LET LIVE
T
ells Civic Federation Busi
ness and Social Ills Cannot
Be Eradicated by Legisla
tion.
NEWTORK, Dec. S.-In opening to
day's session of the l.'lh annual meet
ing of tho National Civic Federation,
George W. Perkins, chairman of tho So
cial Insuranco Department, said;
"A specific question under considera
tion by tho department Isi
"Should there bo a eystemntto scheme
of compulsory sickness Insurance advo
cnted for State legislation In the United
States?
"With respect to this subject the com
mttteo holds that we should resist any
spirit of Impatience In America to copy
these doubtful experiments, but should
urge a policy of watchful waiting until
their results pecome certain."
Speaking on the subject of "The Work
ers' Fair Share," Mr. Perkins said:
"Ono would think from much of the
discussion of tho day and many of tho
magazine and newspaper articles that ara
appearing that tho problem of capital
and labor Is tho result of tho tariff, giant
corporations, etc. In my Judgment, 'this
Is not the case. These are In reality
but minor causes. The main cause Is
directly traceable to the enormous ex
pansion that has taken place during the
lost half century In our educational sys
tem a system divided Into two branches;
first, tho education that comes from tho
public schools, the university, tho text
book, tho lecture room; socond, the al
most breeder education that has come to
us In tho last half of tho century through
tho extraordinary Improvements In meth
ods of Intercommunication, especially
methods of intercommunicating thoughts
and ideas.
"No matter how small tho amount of
money that a man has In a business, so
long as It Is a real Interest, a genuine
Investment that has not been given to
him as a gratuity, but has been earned
by him actually, ho will feel tho re
sponsibility of proprietorship; and the
same lmpulso will govern his actions as
would govern the lmpulso of others hav
ing very much larger sums Invested.
"I bellove they are likewise wrong when
they tell us that the tariff Is respon
sible for those corporations, for Improved
Intercommunication nnd not the tariff
la tho chief factor In the maintenance
of the Bo-called trusts.
"1 believe that no one of average In
telligence really thinks that If tho pres
ent Congress gave us free trade today a
slnglo so-called trust would dissolve to
morrow. "I believe that tho chief cause of cor
porations is found in modern methods
of Intercommunication, and that yau can
only get rid of them by eradicating the
cause, which, of course, we are not
going to do.
"The hope of the future, for tho work
er's fair shara as well as for capital's
fair protection. Is In a llvo and let live
policy, where co-operation and emulation
will give to each the protection to which
It Is fairly entitled and bring about a
more equal distribution of tho abundance
of good things with which the Lord In
His mercy has blessed our matchless
country."
