QUESTION LEGALITY
Public Service Commission May
Resist Supersedeas Granted
by Judge Linn
LAWYER OUTLINES CASE
,3jhc,lc8llty of ;tho ordpr,ot Judge
Linn, of tho Superior Court, which has
Abruptly hnlted the hearing of the Rapid
Transit ,Co,'s Mihsldiarics .boTore the
Public Service Commission, was ques
tioned today.
A lawyer who is closely connected
iyth the legal fight against tlie transit
rnmnnnv'u fnrA linnuf rnnuput- untrl tlio
rommitslon had nt lenst two grounds
on which to resist 'the " supersedeas
granted by Judge Linn which stays pro
ceedings before the commission.
One of these grounds is that the
commission's order that tho underlying
companies file an answer to the com
plaint of the United Business Men's
Association was n mere interlocutory
order and not appealable under the pub
lic service law. If such is the case, he
says, tho Superior Court had no right
nt this time- to interfero witn a thor
ough, probe brf""' the commission of
all the facts relating to the undcrljing
companies.
Commission Not Notified
Tho second ground is that the stay
of proceedings wax ordered by Judge
Linn apparently without any prior no
tice to the commission, i'nder Article
VI, Section 10, of the public service
company law no appeai from an order
of tlio commission can bo allowed un
til tlic commission has been apprised.
Tho success of the uuilcrllng com
panies In removing their case from tlio
commission, tho lawyer continued, may
cuuso attorneys for tho Rapid Transit
Co. to try the sumo procedure.
The attorney pointed out that the
company has thirty days in which to
appeal from the order of tho commis
sion refusing to put the higher fine
tariff into effect.
On tho propriety of tlio commission's
refusal to put the higher faros iuto ef
fect pending u hearing the l it. T..
it was said might ask for a writ of
supersedeas.
Attorneys Out of Town
Frederick L. Piallard, counsel for the
P. R. T., is out of tlio city and is not
expected back until Sentember. At his
office today it was sold there was no
information there on which action
would be takeu.
C. Oscar lleasley. attorney for the
United Business Men's Association, also
is out of tho city, lie Is expected to
return Monday. Before leaving Mr.
Bensloy said he wanted "time to pull
myself together," after whut he termed
was tho unusuul action of Judge Linn,
of the Superior Court.
The local members of the Public
Service ('cmimisHlo,ii Samuel M. Clem
ent, Jr., and Jiuncs S. llenii, are out
of the city ilsoi It us sawld today that
if the coipmlsslou legists, tho order of
Judge Linn, Attorney fionoial Sehnffor
will represent the commission's case he
fore tin Superior C'ouit, there is said
to bo good grounds on which the court
would spstain the commission's objec
tions. )

BOLSHEVIKI REPLY TO
LLOYD GEORGE'S NOTE
Partial Disarmament of Polish
Army Asked During Armi
stice Conferences
By the Associated Press
London, Aug. 0. Leo Kameneff, of
tho Russian oSviet delegation here, sent
Premier Lloyd George last night n long
communication giving the Soviet govern
ment's reply to Great Britain's note of
Tuesday with regard to the delay in tho
armistice negotiations between Russia
and Poland.
M. KamcnoIT's statement declares the
Soviet government never desired to
combine the negotiations for an armi
stice with negotiations for peace, but
that it demands that the terms of the
armistice Include reasonable guarantees
which would prevent nttompts on the
part of Poland to use the period of the
armistice for the renewal of hostile
nets.
The solo obstacle In the wny of the
beginning of negotiations for the sus
pension of military operations, says
the note. Is the absence of the Polish
delegates, whose return is being uwulted
by the representatives of the Soviet
government in order that negotiations
may be immediately opened. The note
continues:
"The Russian Soviet government
again declares that it is firm in tlio
recognition of tho freedom and inde
pendence of Poland, nnd its willing
ness to rnnt to the Polish stajo wider
frontiers than were indicated by the
supreme council and mentioned in the
British note ot July 20."
Year'e Conference "Desired
With regard to the proposed T,ondou
peace conference the note says, In sub
stance, that the Soviet government had
proposed 'that the conference be only
with the loading powers of the Kn
tonto, because the usefulness, of such u
conference arose from the fact that,
without the ussNtunce of the loading
powers, war could not bo waged by
other states against Russia, and so the
peace of Kuvope would bo guaranteed.
The statement continues :
"Wo are still of the opinion that di
rect negotiations with Poland for peace
would servo the interests both of tlie
Russian and Polish peoples."
The conference in London between
Rutentrr"" the".nieio
"would have for Its object the rogu - I
larization of the international position
of Russia und tho settlement of all out
standing cpiostlons between her nnd the
Allies, for the benefit of goueral peace.
Guarantees Ashed of Poland
The guarantees the Soviet government
desires that Poland will not use the
armistice period for a renewal of hos
tilities, It is sot forth, include her
partial disarmament und tho cessation
of the rocruitiug of conscript soldiers
ns well as voluntary enrollments,
M, Kameneff also refers to his inter
view with Premier Lloyd George Wed
nesday nlclit nud states that lie for
warded to the Soviet government tlio
premiers statement with regard to
the decision of tlie British Government
to side with Poland ami to renew the
blockade in consequence of tlie inva
sion of ethnographical Poland by the
troops of the Soviet government."
