Mitten replied : -"It the abolition of transfers and ex changes had been granted when we Mtft that request originally, it would bare netted the company $3,000,000 an nuslly and put tho company on 'Easy afreet ''There was no deficit then. Now we not pnly need the (3,000,000 a year ad ditional, but we must meet tho deficit of jf 1,600, 000." Mr. Clement persisted in his orig inal question, asking if Mr. Mitten be Hera the new fare plan would carry the company through. Tho P. 11. u. bead replied the only reason tho com pany was sticking to the five-cent faro ptam wat because he thought the Im position of a higher faro would be im practicable. Made Play for "Short Rides" Mr. Mitten explained that during tho ther -"city The number of riders said, providing on ineomo .frtt.Mjl V.A of S5.000.000 from that source. The company conducted Its service es pecially to get the short riders, ho con tinued, and the men were instructed to cultivato that business. Mr. Mlttsn pointed out that much of the short riding would bo extremely 4MRcult to retain if a departure was tde from tho basic five-cent fare. The P. R.

Commission Benn asked: "If you get this relief in a short time It would carry the company over until the valuation was completed, then you would-have figured on which to base a permanent fare, would you not?" "Exactly so," replied Mr. Mitten, "I could not have expressed the situation better myself." Other Cities Are Cited Replying to questions of Mr. Gordon. Mr. Mitten showed that in Buffalo and in other cities in which the basic faro was raised from fivo to seven cents the companies in those cities lost largo amounts. "If we 60 to a higher basic fare," he said, "we will lose more than any other dtyl because we created the five-cent short ride demand to a larger extent by better merchandising than other cities." Asked by Mr. Gordon how much tho company would loso if the short rides were eliminated, ho replied: "About 15.000,000 a year." At this point, Commissioner Benn remarked : "At tho end of December, Mr. Mitten, I understand you will have $2,000,000 less than is required to pay the advanced wages of the meu and the underlying rentals. Will you have to default in either the pay of the men or the rent als?" Mr. Mitten answered that unless the company obtained relief It would have to default in one or the other.

J Oct. 0. Mayor Moore let it be known today that the secret of his delay in arriving at the convention yesterday afternoon was that he got lost in the wilds of New Jersey. It developed that the Mayor's auto mobile picked out the wrong trail and the first thing the Mayor knew he k heading up a backwoods lano. His ex periences were such that he announced to "Happy" Johnson, his bodyguard, that he was going to put another proj ect on the waterways program a canal straight from Philadelphia to Atlantic City. "Then," said the Mayor with a smile, "we would no get lost; there's nothing llko Water to keep you straight." The convention was to open nt 2:30 in the afternoon, and as that hour quickly passed and thero was no sign of the Mayor, officials of the conven tion began to bo concerned.
