State Challenged. The authority
of the Public Service Commission to
grant reparation in a cace decided by
the State Railroad Commission was
challenged to-day at a hearing in the
matter of the complaint of the Penn
sylvania Parafflne Works, of Titus
vllle, against the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company and the Pennsylvania
Company. The old Railroad Commis
sion decided that the rate of BV6
cents for the transportation of crude
petroleum oil from Walford to Titus
ville, was excessive and recommended
a 7% cent rate. The carriage did not
promptly comply with this recommen
dation and the complainant seeks
reparation because an 8% cent rate
was charged on shipments made from
May 31 to October 6 of last year. The
Railroad Companies contend, through
their attorney, L. E. Hinkle, that the
Public Service Commission is without
jurisdiction, notwithstanding the pro
vision in the act of its creation which
declares that it may dispose of the
unfinished business of the State Rail
road Commission.

QUICK ACTION SAVES
THE REALTY BUSINESS
Quick action on the part of Stern

i swept the Middletown business dls-I

Realty Theater was packed with an j
early evening crowd, one of the ushers
noticed a strong odor of smoke. He
called Mr. Detweiler and the janitor, i
When the went to the cellar to investi
gatt the found the boiler to the steam
heating plant to be burned out and
flames were running along the steam
pipes and licking up against the

Detweiler and Battis with great

ONLY AN AID TO THE DEMOCRATS
[From the Johnstown Leader.]
The Altoona Tribune takes note in
the following fashion of a condition to
which The Leader has frequently called
attention:
"Victory may be 'assured,' as A.
Nevln Detrich, chairman of the Wash
ington party, proclaims, but If so it Is
a Democratic victory. The only pur
pose the Washington party will serve
in the coming campaign will be to aid
the Democratic nominees. Many lnde
fiendent Republicans \ 111 object to be
ng used for any such purpose, especi
ally If the Republican candidates are
fit for the places for which they have
been named."
This is a fact which Is coming home
to more Washington party people
every day. Very few, even among the
leaders of that party, really believe
there Is a chance for the election of a
single Washington party candidate on
that ticket alone. All such hope has
been practically abandoned. The pur
pose now Is to accomplish the defeat of
the Republican ticket, which, of course,
means the election of Democrats. That
Is the end for which the self-appointed
Washington party leaders of Pennsyl
vania propose to use the rank and file
of the organization. How many of the
members who entered the new party
from honest motives, as a matter of
principle, are going to permit them
selves to be-used In that fashion?

P. B. R.. HIT HARD
BY B|G BUZZARD
Estimate Place? the Total Dam
ages at Two Million
Dollars To Date
With another week of hard work to
complete repairs, Jhe Pennsylvania
Railroad officials yesterday announced
that the total damages from the re
cent blizzard would reach $2,000,000.
This sum Includes the actual de
struction of the company's property;
the cost of temporary repairs; loss of
revenue during the twenty-four-hour
period while traffic was wholly sus
pended in northern New Jersey and j
during the much longer period when ;
only partial service was possible; the
cost of clearing the tracks of snow
and wreckage, and the extraordinary
expenses of operating the lines while
the tracks were partly blocked, and
train dispatching and signaling appa
ratus were out of commission. The
property damage alone is placed at an
amount In excess of $500,000.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, alone, had 480 poles and 3,000
miles of wire down. Besides, 2,000
crossarms were torn from railroad
poles that had been left standing.
In clearing the tracks of snow and
wreckage, the official record shows,
the company used a 'force of 7,300
men for three days. Of this number
5,000 were extra laborers and the re
maining 2,300 were regular employes,
recruited from many points on the
Eastern lines. To feed this army 60,-
000 men were sent out along the line
on special trains from Broad Street
Station, Philadelphia.
Lehigh Company Is
Again in Court
Special to The Telegraph
New York, March 19.—The Lehigh
Coal Company was sued here yester
' day by Attorney General Mc Reynolds
under the Sherman anti-trust laws as
being the dominant factor in a com
bination to control the output of an
thracite from Pennsylvania fields It
touches.
It is further charged that the Le
high has violated the provision of the
Pennsylvania Constitution prohibiting
common carriers from engaging in
mining or other business besides
transportation.
Among the corporations and indi
viduals named as co-defendants and
parties to a conspiracy to monopolize
the coal trade are the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company, Lehigh Valley Coal
Sales Company, Coxe & Bros. Com
pany Inc., Edward T. Stotesbury, Dan
iel G. Reid, Charles Steele, George F.
Baker and George F. Baer. %
Fireman Smith Is
Highly Commended
In the latest bulletin Issued by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, giv
ing efficiency reports, C. B. Smith, a
former Harrisbur»er, a fireman on
the Harrisburg-Lock Haven local ex
press, is commended for his thought
fulness on the night of January 27.
"While your train was running per
haps fifty miles per hour, you saw the
opposite track near Dalmatia was ob
structed by a mass of'lce which had
come down the mountain. You im
mediate threw a lighted fusee on the
obstructed track and had another
read to throw If a train was seen
before reaching the next telegraph
tower, from which place a report was
made to this office.
"This showed the quick-wittedness
which is a characteristic of the best
railroaders, a thing highly appreciated
by the officials and by fellow em
ployers, as it makes for safety of op
eration .
