Doctor (iwjiine declnred that he would vote for (inventor Co.x nnd urge other members of his organization to do likewise. "It Is a serious question," he snld, "but I have holved it for mjself by de ciding to vote, not for the man primar ily, but for the overwhelming moral im portance of the League of Nations.

FARE STUDY Public Service Commission Con- sidqring Transfer Abolition in Executive Session QUICK DECISION EXPECTED JU a Staff Corretmilcnl Ilarrlshurg, July 2ft. The Public Service Commission took up the question of the proposed carfare incrensc In Philadelphia In executive session nt 1 :30 o'clock tills afternoon. A decision is to be reached on whether the Philadelphia Itapid Transit Co. Is to be permitted to abolish free trans fers end substitute three-cent ex changes for them. There is n general impression that the commission favors the Increase, but the contract of 11)07 betwien the city and the transit company may be n big factor In the decision. In most in stances where 11 hearing has been held on proposals of traction companies in the state to raise fares he commission has granted the increases. Philadelphia is one of the few cities in the state today where there Is a live- cent carfare in existence. This fact Is likely to have much weight with the commission. Another unglc which mny cut some figure Is the impression around the commission ofiices that the recent hear ings iu Philadelphia ou the proposed fare increases, were disappoluting.

Cotton went to dizzying prices. Samo Thing In Sugar "More recently we hnve seen rhe samo thing In the case of sugar.

Yet there is sugar enough In the country for till. It is held by speculators in order to boost the price. "The northern and western farmers have borne the burden of restrictions, while the cotton nnd sugar raisers of the South und the speculators hnve got awuy with profits beyond calcula tion." Another culler was Constantlnc C. Moustnkls, of Salem, Mass., who de clared the Oreeks iu this country were greatly pleased at Senntor Harding's reference to the disposition of Thrace in his recent queries to Oovernor Cox re garding foreign relations.
