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. He j
adds "The commission is also of the '
opinion that it is not desirable to rc- I

Men Want to (o Home.—The Pub
lic Service Commission in an opinion
by Commissioner Ryan has dismissed
the complaint of W. J. 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.
Must Follow Rule. Attention of
architects and builders of structures to
be used for threatrical or moving pic- I
ture purposes is called to "a great l
lack of uniformity" In the propositions i
for such improvements submitted to
the Department of Labor and Industry
by a circular issued by the cominis- j
sioner. A digest has been prepared i
from regulations made up by repre- ;
sentatlves of architects, proprietors of 1
theaters, members of the Stato Build- 1
ing Code Commission, the State Fire ;
Marshal and the Department of Labor j
and Industry. These regulations have !
been approved by the State Industrial)
Board and notice is given that they •
are to be adhered to.

I Two Dissent.—Commissioners Ryan !
and Rilling have dissented from the
decision of the Public Service Commis
sion in the Allegheny Valley Jitney i
case as far as refusal of a certificate
to the applicant Is concerned. They i
agree that a jitney is a common

this city and Palmyra. They have
been pending for some time.

Suffragists Heckle Liberals
A small party of suffragists lent va
riety to the arrival of the Liberals at
the Reform Club to-day for a meeting
of the Liberal party to decide its atti
tude toward the Lloyd George govern
ment. 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.

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.

ment that she too holds to the pledges
