nsldc nn order of the commission. This
order "nlled on underlying companies to
reply to n complnlnt ngnlnst rentals they
received from the P. H. T. Co.
Heme II. Evans, counsel for the
Public Service Commission, nnnounced
that body's determination to Join the i

Objectors to the high 'rentals paid by
the P. U. T. Co to the underlying com
panies soy n rental cut would provide
funds for the Improvement of trolley
service in this city. The underlying
companies drnw the rentals becnuse
they own the lines leased nnd operated
by the P. K. T. Co.
In the forthcoming nppenl the Public
Service Commission Intends to assert ltd
right to regulate rentals. It will be
claimed that such regulation is nn In
tegrnl nnd important part of the regu
lation of service.
The Superior Court's recent ruling,
which dismissed the commission's order,
is said to be "Indefinite, negative nnd
not constructive."
The nppenl to the state's highest
court will emphasize the following ex
trnFl..fr,ln thc" Supcritr Court' opinion :
Ihc Public Service Commission has
ample power, In the Judgment of the
court, without doing violence to nnv
established legal' principle or ordcrlv
method of procedure to compel the ren
dition of adequate service nt fair rates
over thc property owned by the appel
lant company, nnd there mny come a
time when, without attempting to over
step its power, the Public Serviee,Cnm
mlssion may with propriety take action
the result of which would very seriousl)
affect thc rentals under the contract
In question.
"Hut, as we view the case, no ground
Is presented here for thc action of thc
commission, sought for in the complaint
filed."

DRUGS AND UTENSILS.TAKEN
Three Persons Held
in Police Drug Raid
Continued from I'nirr tine
they believed the two were there to
buv drugs, but there wns no way to
hold them.
When the detectives were In the house i
the telephone IHI rang and n d"tct!ve i
answered. The man at the other end
of the wire stid he "hnd the silk," nnd
asked should he bring it up. The de
tective answered es. iinil Jack Shep
paril appeared n little later with some
silk remnants bearing the ticket of a
Chestnut street specialty shop. An em
ploye of the store was nt the hearing,
anil though he wns able to Identify the
silk, wns unable to sny thnt It lmtl been
stolen, ns the firm had no record .of n
I heft. Therefore, Shepnrd wns let go.
Chinese Is Witness
Strength wns given the police theory
thnt drugs air being smuggled Into
Philadelphia from steamships stopping
here by the testimony of n ChlncM- to
day before Judge Mnnnghnn. In Quar
ter Hcs-dons Coiut.
Al Young, a Chinese lllvng on Tenth
street below Race, was sentenced to six .
months, by Judce Monnzlmti for (uivini-
opium in his possession.
Police of the Eleventh nnd IWntcr
streets station testified they raided his
room, two weeks ago, and found 100
opium containers, each holding otic
half ounce.
Through an Interpreter today Young
told Judge Monnghnn he hod got the
opium from a friend, u Chinese who
works on nti oil ship, which docked at
Point Breeze oil works.
Judge Monnghun Interrogated the
Chiiiiw closely to see if the name of
the ship could be lenrned, but the pris
oner cither did not know It or wns too
cunning to j;vo it nwny.
His testimony, however, confirmed
the suspllcmis of the police thnt the
.-.i.OOO worth of drugs said to have
been smuggled into the city recently
enme for the most part from ships
touching here from foreign ports.
Other developments in the activities
against alleged drug dealers are:
The exoneration by I'nlted States
Attornej Chnrles D. McAvoy of Carl
Krnger. the federal agent who. the po
lice say, attempted to Interfere with a
raid last .Sunday.
A complete denial by Boris Parle
man, proprietor of the Twenty-second
street house, in which n quantity of
drugs were seized on Sundny, was made
of the story first told by him. After he
hnd tried to take his life on Tuesday
night by slashing his wrists with n pen
knife, he told thc police he had done so
from fear of threats of death becau-.e
he had "squealed" on members of the
"ring." Last night he denied that
Krnger. who was boarding nt his home,
hnd uinde an intimation that he would
"get him" for informing the police.

Will You Have a Starving Child of
Europe as Your Invisible Guest for
. Christmas or New Years
Herbert Hoover Will Distribute the Money
AN APPALLING emergency exists in Eastern and Central Europe.
Hunger, privation, suffering and death still march unchecked.
A minimum of three and one-half million children are face to face with
disease and starvation. Unless aid is rendered at once, a vast, unspeakble
tragedy will follow.
Hundreds of thousands of children in Europe have never tasted milk
in their lives. Mothers unnourished and ill-provided bring into the world
babies doomed before they see the light of day.
Medical aid must be furnished, together with clothing and food, if
there is to be a tomorrow to follow the horror and the desolation of today.
