In the opinion filed by Commission er Alcorn it is held that the acts complained of were done prior to January 1, 1914, when the Public Ser- ] vice law became effective and it was ! not then necessary for the company j to secure a certificate of public con- ' venience to make the changes.

Reynolds and i others of New Castle, against the rates of fare, car service and shelters of the J Mahoning and Shenango and New Cas- j tie and Lowell Street Railways operat- 1 ing in Lawrence county and parts of j Ohio. Mr. Ryan says that the com- ! mission does not feel Justified In or- ! derlng an extension of the fare zone : and that the overcrowding alleged i seems to be a condition that the com pany cannot guard against under the | circumstances "for the desire of the workmen seems naturally to be to tak j passage upon the first car that will bring them to their homes" and that; the manner of operating cars has been changed to meet objections.

BALFOUR SLATED TO HEAD FOREIGN OFFICE [Continued From First Page.] on apparently good authority, that Mr. Balfour is to go to the foreign office, is well known.

The women greeted the earlier arrivals with the cry "Another wait ; and see." The suffragettes became more ag gressive when Mr. Asqulth drove up ! and .on being forced into the roadway by the police, they contented them- I selves with cries of "Traitor" and j i other abusive terms. Lord Haldane I was greeted with "Kaiser Haldane." j AVhen Viscount Grey arrived the suffragettes created such a disturb ance that the police had to escort him into the club. All the prominent Liberals in the house of commons and the house of lords attended the meteing. The crowd with the exception of the women gave ex-Premier Asqulth and his colleagues a hearty reception. The Reform Club adopted a reso lution expressing confidence In Mr. As qulth and also the determination of the organization to support the new government In whatever steps It may take to prosecute the war vigorously.

Call Indictment Expert Mr. Anderson, continuing his con ferences with department heads, es tablished headquarters here and called into conference Oliver E. Pagan, the indictment expert of the Department of Justice. | In Congress the House commerce I commitee decided to defer action on bills and resolutions relating to the subject until after the holidays. The Interstate Commerce Commis sion began preparation of Information relating to Its recent investigation of car shortage which will be available for use in the food inquiry. Officials believe there is close relation between the car shortage and price advances, not only with respect to coal but with foodstuffs as well. Collusion Possibility Reports to the Department of Jus tice are said to indicate the possibility of collusion among men having large influence in the movement of freight cars and speculators with a view to diverting cars from their normal chan nels and advancing the prices of prod ucts. It was said authoritatively that these reports did not involve the heads of the railroad companies under in vestigation. ANOTHER NOTITto GERMANY POSSIBLE [Continued From- First Page.] / been going on the principle of decid ing each case separately on its merits, it was said to-day that the number of cases had reached such proportions that some general action would be jus tified, although it was made clear that nothing had been determined upon. The day's developments in the sit uation were: The United States asked Great Britain for information to deter mine the status of the P. and O. liner Arabia which a German sub marine commander took for an armed transport. Official information coming to the State Department establishes that the British ship Marina, tor- pedoed with a loss of six Ameri cans, was in no sense a transport and was entitled to the immuni ties of a peaceful merchantman. In both cases Germany has ex pressed a willingness to offer amends if her pledges were broken. L T . S. Stands Firm It was reiterated again to-day that the United States stands squarely on the position it took in the Sussex case.
