PUBLIC SERVICE RULE Merger Cannot Increase Debl Nor Raise Price. Increased Iron Output Duke's Al leged Dual Personality Want Pious Motto on Coins Lusitania Makes New Record Last Tuesday' Elec tionsApple Crop Shows Shortage. The public service commission has made public a decision which sets forth its attitude, on the one hand to ward competition in public service fa cilities within a city, and on the other toward what It regards as attempts to evade the prohibition by the new pub lic service commission's law of Infla tion or "watering" of securities in the merger of public service corporations. The decision is in- the matter of the proposed purchase by a new corpora tion, the Lock port Light, Heat and Fower company, of the Lockport Gag and Electric company and the Econo my Light, Fuel and Power company of Lockport. The decision, even while admitting that the proposed purchase does not technically constitute a merger with in the meaning of the law, forbids the new company to Issue Its securities for a capitalization above $700,000, equivalent to the total Issues of the two old companies. The new com pany desired to Issue stock and bonds to a total of $1,200,000. The voluminous decision also makes It plnln that the raising of the price of gas and electricity by the stifling of competition through the combining of competitive companies will not be permitted. The Economy Light, Fuel nnd Power company has been engaged in a bitter war In the city of Lockport, as a result of which the price for elec tric power In that city Is lower, it Is said, than In any other place In the country, nnd the price for electrto light lowr than In 99 per cent, of the cities of the United States. Recently tho lockport Oas and Electric Light company was formed for the purpose of purchasing the rival companies and consolidating the warring interests. The commission accordingly pro hibits the raising of prices over those that obtain at present. Statistics of Iron Industry. The Iron Industry In the United States broke all records in 1906 in the output of ore, pig iron and steel, and the Increase In production was accom panied by an Increase in prices. The quantity of ore produced was 47,749, 728 long tons, valued at $100,597,100. These figures show an increase of 12.28 per cent. In tonnage and of 33.8S per cent, in value over those for 1905. Minnesota produces more than one half the Iron ore mined in the United States, and Michigan produces nearly pne-fourth; and the Iron ore product of these two states together repre sents 82.45 per cent, of the value of the entire product of the country.

A remarkable trial now in progress in London centers about the old question whether Thomas Charles Druce. at one time owner of the fa ous Raker street bazaar, who wa3 said to have died 43 years ago, was or was not the same person as the eccen tric fifth Duke of Portland, who died in 1879. In June, 1900, workmen who were tearing down Harcount house on Cav endish Square, London, previously one of the residences of the Duke of Port land, discovered an underground pas sage lending from the house to the Baker Htreet structure in which tho fatuous bazaar had previously been nd which was conducted by Thomas Charles Druce. George Druce, claimant for the es tates held by the present duke, de clares the fifth duke used the under giotind passage referred to for the purpose of getting from Harcourt house to the place of business of "Druce." The suit of the clalmunt Is being pressed by a limited liability company, the directors of which are the claim ant himself and George and John CrMkmer. A Mrs. Margaret Hamilton has testified that she knew the fifth duke both as Mr. Druce and as the Duke of Portland and that she was aware of the fact that he had mar ried Elizabeth CrlcUmer, the grand mother of the present claimant. Want Plou Motto on Coins. There are Indications In Washing Icn of a great number of protests from religious bodies aH over the country agilnst the elimination of the "In God We Trust" from the new United grates coins designed by the late Augustus St. Gaudcns and ap proved by President Roosevelt. Al ready very many organizations have taken cognizance of the Innovation, and a move is afoot to influence con gress to pass a law restoring the time honored inscription to the coin of the land. "In this age of tainted money and the lust for gold," said one of the ar dent Christian workers, "it Is Hl-ad-vised to remove from the faces of our coin the reference to the Doer of All Good and the open announcement that we trust Him." Resolutions have been passed by the local Christian Endeavor society, and other similar associations are to fol low stilt. Lusitania Makes New Record. With 12 millions of gold in her strong box and a new trans-Atlantic record written in her log, the giant Cunard turbiner Lusitania steamed past Sandy Hook lightship at 1:40 o'clock on Friday morning. The westbound trip was made ap proximately In four days 19 hours and 10 minutes. Her hourly average was a little better than 24 knots an hour. The former western record of the turbiner, completed Oct. 11 last, was four days, 19 hours, 52 minutes. The average Fpeed on that trip was 24 knots an hour for the distance of 2,781 miles. The best day's run was 618 knots. Though improving on every run, the Lusitania has probably not yet met the government requirements which will entitle her to financial favor. To earn the government subsidy, the greatest ever appropriated for a steamship, the Lusitania is required to make a round trip at an hourly aver age of 2J:;4 knots. The steamer has one year within which to develop this speed, and her performances since she wan launched indicate that she will fulfill all premises in this line at an early date. The swifi Cunarder wrested the title of "Queen -jf the Seas" from the Ger mans on her last record breaking trip and is now bending her energies to cam the subsidy With a big pas senger list and unprecedented gold imports, she sailed from Queenstown at 11:30 a. m. Nov. 3. Last Tuesday's Elections. Elections were held in 12 states last Tuesday. In five a governor and other state officers were chosen and In New Jersey a governor only.

Sheats of Philadelphia was elected state treasurer over John L. Harmon by the o!d-tlnie majority of 175,000. Governor Higgins of Rhode Island, Democrat, wos re-elected by a plural ity of 1,500. In Cleveland Mayor Tom L. Johnson was re-elected over Con gressman Theodore E. Burton by a substantial majority. In Cincinnati Leopold Markbreit, Republican, was elected mayor. In Buffalo the entire Republican city and county ticket was elected except, police justice and one councilman. The Hearst-Republican fusion in New York city was beaten. Order For 150 Engines Cancelled. On Monday 2,100 men at the Brooks Locomotive works at Dunkirk were re duced from a 10-hour to a 9-hour day. The works will also close on Saturday afternoons. A notice to this efTect was posted by the officials. It is stated that the shortening of hours was caused by a lack of orders. The New York Central lines have cancelled an order for 150 engines that were to he built at tlw local plnnt. Other rail roads are curtailing expenses. Apple Crop Shows Shortage. The apple crop of the United States for 1907 says the American Agricultur ist, Is a scant 24,000,000 bbls., material ly short of last year. What Is of great importance is the shortage In such- commercial orchard sections as Western New York, nearly all of Michigan and the entire Southwest. There is what, may bo set. down as an absolute failure in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Cards by Millions Go Wrong. Postmaster General Meyer has or dered that souvenir post cards re ceived at the dead letter olllce of the department, that are not returnable to senders because of defective ad dresses or other reasons, be sent to the orphan asylums and children's homes in Washington.

Mr. Kramer For Petitioners Said No Meeting of Stockholders Has Been Held Since 1862 and Directors Per petuate Themselves Seven Direc tors Receive $3,500 a Year. Albany, Nov. 12. Albert B. Board man, representing the United States Express company before the public service commission In the Second dis trict, questioned the right of the leg islature to regulate the powers of the seven directors of the United States Express company, a joint stock cor poration. He contended that the du ties of the hoard were prescribed in the articles of association. Briefs on this and other questions Involved are to be submitted to the commission within 30 days. The question was raised by Mr. Boardman at the beginning of the hearing requested by certain share holders In the United States Express company, who claimed to represent more than one-half of the stock and asked that the commission determine the advisability of recommending to hhe legislature certain amendments to the law relating to joint stock cor porations conducting the business of common carriers, so as to faring about the election of directors when desired by a majority of shareholders. Mr. Boardman suggested that before the commission took up the complaint It should first secure the views of Governor Hughes and Attorney Gen eral Jackson as to the constitutionality of the legislation requested, but the suggestion was not favorably received by the commission. Directors Self-Perpetuating. Eugene Kramer of New York, as sisted by S. S. Hatt of Albany, repre sented the petitioners. Mr. Kramer said that the board of directors of the United States Express company was a self-perpetuating body; that no meet in? of stockholders had been held since 1S02; that although the board of directors had been requested by a ma jority of the shareholders to call a meeting of the shareholders for the election of directors, It refused to do so: that the United States Express company is controlled by the Adams and American Express companies, al though they are all supposed to be business rivals, and that neither one of the last two companies has had a meeting of stockholders In years for the purpose of electing officers. , Mr. Kramer also brought out that the following seven directors of the United States Express company are being paid $3,600 a year for serving ns directors: United States Senator T. C. Piatt, who Is also president, receiv ing an annual salary of $25,000; H. Crosby, vice president and secretary, at an annual salary of $20,000; E. T. Piatt, treasurer, for which he re ceives annually $15,000; F. H. Piatt, who Is also counsel to the company; Francis Lynde Stetson, L. C. Weir and J. C. Fargo. Chairman Stevens referred to one section of the articles of association which provides that no director of the United States Express company shall be interested In a rival company. It was admitted by Mr. Boardman that Messrs. Fargo nnd Weir nre officials of the American and Adams Express companies, respectively, and hold Jointly 20,000 shares of stock of the United States Express company. Community of Interest. Mr. Boardman said that all three companies had a community of Inter ests and insisted that unless theso conditions existed the stock of tho United States Express company Hnd the other express companies would be almost worthless, contending that it would be almost Impossible to con duct the business of the companies at a reasonable profit. "The profits of the express compan ies," sold Mr. Boardman, "are yearly decreasing and with the threatened government parcel post the outlook for them Is not a happy oue." It also developed that according to tho articles of association no trans fers of stock could be made without the consent of the directors and that the board had the right to dissolve tho association If It saw fit. Mr. Kramer said that since his cllenti filed their complaint with the commission the United States Express company had increased its dividends from 4 to 6 ir cent. The commission ordered counsel on both Pldeti to submit briefs within :;0 days on the legal interpretation of the articles of association. Mr. Kramer was also directed to file specifications as to facts, if an investigation Is de sired on particular subjects, give proof or submit, evidence, either oral or written, so as to guide the commis sion If It deems It advisable to go further Into the subject. The complaint against the United States Express company of alleged discrimination against shippers be twen Elmlra and Delhi was adjourned until a luter data when Vice President and General Manager Crosby Is ex pected to be examined.

CHARGES OF CONTEMPT. Court Reserved Decision In Case of National Officers of Pressmen's Union. Cincinnati, Nov. 12. Patrick. Mc Mullen and George L. Berry, national afflcers of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' union, -were in the United States court before Judge Thompson to answer charges of contempt preferred against them by attorneys representing the Typothetae, an organization of employing printers. II is asserted that Berry and Mc Mullen disregarded the Injunction or dering them to desist from In any manner provoking or -declaring a strike of union printers or pressmen against members of the Typothetae by recently sending out thousands of circulars orderjng members of the union to strike on Nov. 18, unless the Typothetae grants them the eight hour day on Nov. 18. Attorneys for the union said that the circulars were intended merely to get an expression from members of the union as to whether the union shnll have an eight-hour day as one Df its principles. According to the or iginal bill, the Typothetae entered into an agreement with the union whereby the eight-hour day was to be Instituted in 1909. Judge Thompson, after hearing argu ments on the motion to hold the de fendants In contempt, reserved de cision, but warned the members of the union to keep their acts within the let ter and spirit of the Injunction or iginally granted.

DUNSM0RE 2-CEPiT FARE LAW Question of It3 Constitutionality Ar gued In Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Pittsburg, Nov. 12. Philadelphia county's ap;ieRl from an Injunction re cently granted the Pennsylvania, rail road by tho common picas court of Pennsylvania, declaring the Duns more 2 -rent fare law unconstitutional and confiscatory, was argued before the supremo ccint of Pennsylvania sit ting In this city. The outcome of the argument, which was concluded late yesterday, is of vital Importance to the state and at tracted many prominent members of th bur. M. Hampton Todd, attorney general of Pennsylvania; J. Howard Gondell, city solicitor, and Andrew W. Craw ford and Ernest Lowengrund, assist ant city solictors of Philadelphia, ap peared for the commonwealth. John G. Johnson end Francis L. Gowen represented the Pennsylvania railroad. City Solicitor Gcttdcll made the principal argument for the state. Con cerning the question of confiscation which the railroad company raised he asserted if the company's receipts from all sources should become so low, because of n legislative net, that (there was no return to an investor, Ihe act would be confiscatory. In rather a dramatic manner ho said: "Since tlio railroad has put Into op eration the 1,000-niIle mileage book, good for the bearer, Its mileage lias In creased 50.000,000 miles over the cor responding period of the previous year." The civse of the railroad na summed up by Mr. Johnson In the paper book which was given to the court is that the railroad has a vested right to fix rates, that it has done nothing to make this right revokable by .the legislat ure: thai the 2-cent rale bill is not a valid exercise of any rights which the legislature may possess; that its en forcement will amount to tho confis cation or property, nnd that the art Is an aitenipt to Interfere with Inter state commerce.
