COMMISSION PUTS
OUT ITS SIDE OF IT
Tells What It Will Do in Regard to
the Complaints About the
Fare Increases
The Public Service Commission of
Pennsylvania has no power to supsend
the proposed Increase of rates of the
railroad companies, but the act creat
ing the commission does provide that
the commission may require the com-
panies to issue to thei rpatrons a cer
"tificte or other evidence of payments
made by them in excess of the prior
established rate of increase, of which
rate notice shall be given to the com
mission and the public. (
The probability is that the commis
sion will require the railroad com
panies to furnish the evidence of In
crease, in order that in the event of
the increase being held by the com
mission to be unreasonable or exces
sive, each passenger may be in a po
sition to establish the amount of repa
ration he is justly entitled to under
. the reparation claues of the statute.
The following protests were re
ceived to-day:
A. C. Wood, Norwood, who says
they can never get any improvements
. in Norwood for the reason they have
so many free riders.
Edward K. Bok, president Merion
Civic Association, who blames the In
ter-state Commerce Commission for
suggesting the increase of rates.
William A. Stevenson, Keystone
% Drop Forge Works of Chester.
The Woman's Club of Cynwyd.
James Craig Peacock, Esq., who i 9
interested in the fares between Phila
delphia and Torresdale.
G. T. Schnatz, Germantown.
David L. Lukens, Swarthmore.
The Roslyn Improvement & Protec
tive Association.
William H. Hubbard, secretary of
the Philadelphia 1-iife Insurance Com

Verdicts of $l5O Each
Awarded Each of Three
Plaintiffs Against City
After a trial lasting the entire week
a November common pleas jury early
this afternoon returned verdicts,
against the city aggregating $450 in
the action brought by Benedict Schlit
zer, Barbara Koenig and Mary Miller
for damages incident to the opening
of Front street to low water mark
from Paxton to Iron alley. The sec
tion was opened for park purposes.
The plaintilfs wanted SI,OOO apiece,
however, and the verdicts are consid
ered real victories for City Solicitor D.
S. Seitz.
What effect the conclusions of the
jury may have on future condemnation
suits Incident to the vacation of the
"Hardscrabble" section and other un
opened sections of Front street for
park purposes is problematical, attor
neys say;
The trial was conducted by Judge
Johnson sitting specially and the jury
deliberated only a couple of hours. It
is understood that the city will appeal.

Damages totaling $102.25 and bene
fits amounting to $432.24 resulted from

ers submitted to the court to-day. The
improvement cost the city $330.
TENNESSEE INCIDENT
"NOT HOSTILE ACT"
Full Report First Received by the
Navy Department Not
Made Public
Washington, I>. C., Nov. 21.—After
an announcement from the Whito
House to-day that word had come
from Captain Decker, of the cruiser
Tennessee, that the tiring of the Turk- |
ish forts at Smyrna upon the cruiser's I
launch on November 17 was not hos- |
tile, Secretary Daniels announced tliat
a portion of Captain Decker's first re
port had not been made public when
received because it was considered
contradictory.
Secretary Daniels announced thai
Captain Decker's dispatch reporting I
the firing contained the words "act !
not hostile, but unfriendly."
The Navy Department announce
ment omitted the contradictory phrase, |
according to Mr. .Daniels, in order to
verify it. and to-day came word that |
the message was correct as originally
sent. Secretary Daniels was unable to
explain its meaning and said that It
seemed to htm an expression of opinion
by the captain of the Tennessee with
out exact knowledge of what took
place on shore.
At the White House the statement
issued said Captain Decker had re
ported the firing a3 "not a hostile act."
| The view being taken that the first
part of the phrase meant that the
shots were not aimed to take effect,
btu as a warning because the port of
Smyrna was mined and closed.
Secretary Daniels said he had re
ceived no further messages from Cap
tain Decker since the first report and
that he assumed the commander was

awaiting investigation by Ambassador

think Captain Decker could possibly

his launch immediately turned back.
He said the contradictory phrase had

cause it seemed only an expression of
opinion which in itself was inex
plicable.

FIVE BIG DEER, SPOILS
BRUMBAUGH SENOS
TEACHERS GREETINGS
Too Much Slang Used by In
structors, Declares Insti
tute Teacher
Dr. O. T. Corson, one of the speak
ers at the nineteenth annual city
teachers' institute, to-day brought
greetings to the teachers of the city
from Governor-elect Martin G. Brum
baugh.
Dr. Corson then gave an interesting
address on the "Teacher's Language."
He said that tho trouble with the peo
ple that use the English language is
that they use too much slang and too
many exaggerations of speech.
He ridiculed the plans of men to
create a universal language because
"English Is the human language and it
is only a question of a few years until
it will be the one In universal use."
He went on to say that the colleges
should drop some of the classics and
study the English of Abraham Lin
coln. He scoffed at the meaningless
books that are written by some men
and said that simplicity in the use of
language makes it worth while.
As a summary of the style of good
use of words he gave a few facts about
Lincoln's address on the battlefield of
Gettysburg.
"This is the best speech that was
ever made, and is translated into more
foreign tongues than any other one
that has been delivered. It is known
over the entire world as the best ex.
ample of the use of words that mean
something."
Dr. Corson highly praised tho book,
"The Making of the Teacher," written
by Dr. Brumbaugh.
The city institute met at 1.15 this
afternoon so that tho teachers had
time to attend the Tech-Steelton game
on the island at 3 o'clock.
The "Capacity of Definition" and
"Measuring a Piece of Literature"
were the subjects of two addresses
given by Dr. Arthur H. Harrop, of
Meadviile, Pa., in which he explained
the proper study of English grammar
and how to teach it.
Music for the institute was furnished
by the victrola presented the high
school by the 'l4 class and Professor
E. G. Hose played several splendid
selections, among them several of the
marches used by the European armies
that are at war.
The fourth meeting of the Institute
for the Harrlsburg teachers will be
held January 23 and the last one
March 11. 1915.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
ON STATE HIGHWAY
Elmer A. McKinney's Body I«
Found by Minister at
Quarryville
Special to The Telegraph
Marietta, Pa., Nov. 21.—Wliile on
a visit to his wife who is quarantined
at the home of her father, because of
a serious case of diphtheria, Elmer A.
McKinney, a young man of Quarry
ville, was killed last night in a mys
terious ihanner, presumably by an au
tomobile. His dead body with the
j head badly crushed was found lying in
! a pool of blood in tile middle of the
State road in Quarryville by the Rev.
Thomas R. Crooks, pastor of the
Methodist Church, who was returning
from Mount Hope, where he conducted
revival services. About the same time
the. Rev. Alexander Thompson and
George Trlmbell approached. The
body was carried to the home of Jacob
Diem, and an investigation will follow.
It was thought this morning that lie
may have been killed by highwaymen,
but indications point to the automo
bile theory. He was 28 years old and
is survived by his wife and two small
children. Mrs. McKinney is on the
verge of collapse.
