ABBOTT WITHORAWS
LIST OF QUESTIONS
[Continued From First Page]
dignity of the commission. The inci
dent occurred after one portion of
the applicant fr a rehearing had pre
sented its end, leaving Mr. Abbott to
put forward his own side.
When Mr. Abbott took the floor the
former governor said that there was
"a preliminary matter" which in
volve (iliftfj of fifteen questions by Ab
bott. He said these were based on
the thought that Commissioner John
son had committed an error ,in con
sulting with some one. "This is an
entire misconception and a misunder
standing of the functions of the com
mission and its duties to the public,"
said he. "The statute, which I fear
you did not examine thoroughly, pro
vides in section- 23 of article 5, that
the commission through its members
have wide powers of inquiry." He
then read the clause allowing exami
nation of plant, books, papers, etc.,
and held that it was within the power
of the commission to ask any officer
for information which it deemed
proper. So, held the ex-governor,
what Dr. Johnson did was especially
provided for and approved by his col
leagues.
Mr. Pennypacker said the commis
sion had made inquiry of all State
Public Service Commissions and re
plies from nineteen States showed that
It was the practice when necessary to
make Inquiry of officials or to confer
with them. The replies will be pub*
lished for the information of the pub
lic, announced the ex-governor, who
also said bluntly that it was the in
tention of the commission to do in
the future as it has done in the
past. In the judgment of the com
mission, he added. Dr. Johnson had
done what he was authorized to do.
The questions Hied were declared to
be "entirely irrelevant" and having
nothing to do with any matter the
commission is called upon to deter
mine and it was suggested that they
be withdrawn and that If the author
desired they might be sent to the Gov
ernor or Legislature but that as far
as the commission went they were
irrelevant.
Further, said Mr. Pennypacker, the
questions contained suggestions re
llecting on the commission, but the
members were willing to attribute
them to lack of experience, inadvert
ence or any other thing arising from
the author's thoughts.
The ex-governor then suggested that
the questions be withdrawn.
Abbott retorted in a loud voice:
"What 1 have done I have done de
liberately and with premeditation,
knowing what was written in the act.
There is no act on the books that
allows anyone to confer privately with
one party to litigation. 1 have no
apology for what I have done or said."
"Do 1 understand you are not will
ing to withdraw your questions?" ask
ed Mr. Pennypacker.
"In view of the fact that the coin
mission has had the questions for
three weeks and lias taken no action,
you can discard them."
The question was repeated and Mr.
Abbott said that he would withdraw
them and coniine his efforts to the
committee of the State Senate that
will investigate before confirming
nominations of the commission.
"That is entirely satisfactory and
now I wish io touch an another
thing," said Mr. Pennypacker, who
went on to nay that Mr. Abbott should
present his matters in an argumen
tative way, reminding him that the
appearance of counsel before the com
mission was entirely a matter of court
esy. Counsel has no right to repre
sent, but yihs been a means of helping
the commission. "It Is merely court
esy. Up to this time it has never
been abused. If you will bear that in
mind and conduct yourself according
ly we will hear you with pleasure and
interest."
"1 am here in pursuance of my duty
to my clients. You are here not to
protect the corporations but to act
as a barrier between the people and
the corporations," said Abbott who
then began his argument.
The speech was marked by denun
ciation of the Pennsylvania railroad
for "discriminating against Philadel
phia in favor of New York," and by
clashes w:th Counsel Schuffer and
Kinter of the Pennsylvania and Head
ing railroads.
Mr. Abbott in his argument asked
that the 50-trip family ticket be re
stored and the use of the 100-trip
ticket be extended to use by family
or servants. This would put Phila
delphia on the same basis as traffic
between New Brunswick and New
York. He contended the man living
within trolley distance was given
benefits and the man further out dis
criminated against. On the line of
the Reading to Allentown he said,
the order of the commission was vio
lated because there were no 100-trlp
tickets on sale. "This," he remarked
to Mr. Pennypacker, "is thePerkiomen
branch. rn< getting close to
Schwenksville."
Mr. Abbott went into many details.
He was preceded by Francis Chap
man, W. W. Pierson, Raymond Pit
cairn, C. A. Moore and other attorneys
for commuters ir. and about Philadel
phia, and by Burgess J. Paul McElree,
of West Chester. In opening those
men split off their cases from others,
rather emphasizing the difference be
tween their presentation of the rea
sons for reopening the matter from
those of Mr. Abbott.
The hearing was continued this af
ternoon when the attorneys for the
railroads replied.

Letters to Commuters
Plan Ticket Abolition
Sfecial to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Jan. B.—According to
letters that have been received by
commuters from the Pennsylvania
Railroad that carrier is planning to
fight for the total abolition of the
100-trip ticket when the Pennsylvania
Fublic Service Commission reopens
the passenger rate case to-morrow.
In other words, the Pennsylvania
plans to fight for the original adjust
ment of passenger fares, which in
cluded the abolition of the 100-trip
ticket and which was ordered restored
by the Public Service Commission,
although on a less favorable basis to
commuters.
In preparation for this contest the
Pennsylvania has mailed letters to
10,000 commuters living along its
lines, explaining its side of the fare
question. The company maintains
that the 100-trip tickets are unprofit
able and should, lierefore. be abol
ished. The letters are signed by
George W. Boyd, passenger traffic
manager.
