10 JITNEYS MUST BE CONSIDERED NOW Interesting Ruling by the Pub lic Service Commission in Deciding Mt. Holly Case Th»> principle that competition from jitneys and efforts to remove sources of complaint must be taken Into con sideration In deciding: cases brought against street railway companies was laid down by the Public Service Com mission in an opinion rendered last night in dismissing the complaint of J. A. McGonenal and others of Mt. Holly Springs against the Cumberland Hallway Company. The company took over the Carlisle and Mt. Holly line and complaint was filed against the condition of the roadbed, equip ment and cars, charging discrimina tion and alleging that cars were con gested. The discrimination com plaint was removed by a change In rates and efforts to Improve property have been made. Tn regard to the crowding com plaint the opinion written by Com missioner Rilling says: "This is one of the problem? that the managements of Street railways have yet to satisfac torily solve. Like conditions exist in many places, especially in centers of large population. W'e might remark In passing that in addition to tho limited amount of receipts received by this company on account of which It Is handicapped and restricted in fur nishing more equipment and operating its road, it appeared to have come in contact with the so-called jitney serv ice. as during the morning and eve ning hours, when it does the greater part of its business and, therefore, re ceives the greater part of its revenue, the jitney has appeared on the scene and has to a certain extent lessened th receipts, as well as the patronage of this company, and we are. therefore, of the opinion that while the condi tions existing on this line during the morning and evening hours are not what they might be, yet under all the circumstances they are all that can bt- expected of a street railway com pany operating under like conditions." The commission also handed down an opinion by Commissioner Brecht in which the borough of Benson was denied a certificate to build its own power plant. This is the White Oak case which attracted some attention because after Its controversy with the TVhlte Oak the borough made a contract •with the Penn Electric Ser vice Company. The latter contract is approved. MASKED BANDITS ROB B. & 0. TRAIN [Continued From First Page.] compelled to do likewise. The other masked man then took the throttle, and as though well acquainted with the operation of the engine ran the train a mile or two farther west. Here the robbers went through the mail car, paying particular attention to the registered mail which they looted completely and they then de serted the train, going across the hills in the direction of the Ohio river. A short time later the engine and mall car were found by a track walker where they had been left. Meantime the crew, left with the remainder of the train, had been try ing to find the engine. They knew nothing of what had happened ex cept that the engine and mail car had disappeared toward the west, no at tempt having been made by the high waymen to disturb the sleeping pas sengers. Men were sent forward and soon located the fireman hastening back to give the alarm. Engineer Helms having gone on In search of his engine. He found the locomotive on the rails, with the fire drawn from under the boiler and the valves so ar ranged as to prevent any accident be cause of increasing steam pressure. Cannot Give Description More than two hours elapsed from the time of the robbery, about 2 o'clock until the news could be sent to division headquarters at Parkers burg. and to Grafton, the other near est town with telegraphic communica tion at that hour. But immediately railroad and county officers were active. Messages were sent in all di rections. a special train carrying de tectives was sent to the scene of the robbery, and posses aggregating more than a hundred men were scouring the country before daybreak in Harrison. Doderidge and Pleasant counties. Engineer Helms said he could not give a good description of the men except that they were fairly well dressed and seemed to be experienced in the handling of a locomotive. Railroad authorities believe that the men when they left the train hurried over the hills to a road near Central Station where they had an automobile nnd hastened in the direction of St. Mary's on the Ohio river between Wheeling and Parkersburg. The amount of booty secured by the robbers is unknown here, but It was said that, the registered mail usuallv carried by the train was very valu able. and another report said that In the express car which the robbers did not take with them down the track was i 2.000.000 in gold. The report could not he traced to any reliable source. Central Station is in Doderidge county, midway between Parkersburg and Clarksburg. W. Va. It is a stop for through trains on the Baltimore and Ohio only for taking water. OFFICIALS SEF. GAME Capitol Hill took in the baseball game at Philadelphia to-day as far as possible.
