10 RILLING RAPS HIS COLLEAGUES Takes Decided Exception to Rulings Made in Philadel phia Electric Rates Public Service Commissioner John S. Rilling in an opinion dissenting from the action of a majority of the Public Service Commission in granting the Philadelphia Electric Company authority to increase its rates ten per cent., announced re cently, says "We do not know of any right or authority either in the applicants to ask for or the Com mission to grant any such emerg ency increase as a 'war surcharge.'" He declares that "while rate making is not an exact science the Commis sion is not allowed such latitude 1 hat it can for the mere asking ar bitrarily grant an increase. The in crease should only be determined alter the exercise of judgment based upon the consideration of all the relevant facts." Mr. Rilling analyses the state ment of the business of the company and remarking that the increase al so applies to two subsidary com panies says there is nothing before the Commission representing their valile and he also objects to the application of the proposed increase. "Another objection," says he, "to this increase is that it permits the applicants to shift from themselves to their partons all of the burdens which have been imposed on ac count of the war. Not an iota of Hie burdens of the war do the ap plicants intend to bear and to make matters worse they seek to justify their action by stating that the pa trons to whom they propose to pass these burdens have it in their power and can pass them along to their I trons. The applicants seem ready and willing to receive and enjoy all AMUSEMENTS Victoria Theater To-day and To-morrow Annette Kellermann, the Talented Star In William Fox'a Picture Beautiful, "A Daughter of the Gode."

"ROSE OF THE WORLD" in Pose of the World" wmmmmmtmm gfegjlggggjggjgffgfggggf An Aricrsfi Picture SEE* iffsrjßK; In "Rose of the World," which will be shown at the Regent to-day, to-morrow and Wednesday, Klsie Ferguson interprets a heavy emotional role as the wife of an English army onicer during an uprising in India. Di rector Maurice Tourneur, who produced the picture, has introduced some novel scenes of conflict, when, after a seige of two months, the garrison makes a night sortie and is nearly annihilated by the natives. These inci dents were photographed at night, and the struggling combatants in tho dark are lighted by the Hashes of musketry and shells, presenting weird and startling effects. Sensational scenes of daring are shown. In the thick of the fight the flag is shot down, and the captain climbs up the pole in a hail of flying bullets and nails it back with the butt end of his re volver. Miss Ferguson is much in evidence in this photoplay in scenes of dramatic intensity, in which her hair turns white as snow. Louise Fa zenda will also appear at the Regent the first three days of this week in a Mack-Sennett comedy, entitled, "The Kitchen l^ady." the profits of the war without as suming sny of the burdens." Mr. Rilling contends that corporations have tho came obligation to support the country as it dividuals and that payment of taxes can not be con sidered as a full measure of the duty requ'red at this time. Mr. Rilling says that other utili ties, notably street railways, are struggling along in less favorable conditions than the applicants. The street railways are endeavoring to make ends meet, curtailing expenses and "many of them are thankful to have revenue sufficient to pay oper ation and interest charges."

He was com mended by Adjutant General Beary for his action and will report to the Capitol while the men are on duty. New Justices—Harry D. Abel was appointed justice for Union township, Allegheny county, and D. W. Myers for Fast Washington borough. Unusual Claim— The New Tork Central Railroad has filed complaint against the Clearfield Water Com pany, Clearfield, because the com pany refuses a discount on the ground that a check came too late. The discount amounts to 1219.68 and the railroad claims that the check was mailed from New York, January 9, and because of transpor tation conditions did not reach Clearfield the next day, when dis count privileges ended. The case is the first of the kind to arise. Big Payment—The Pennsylvania Company to-day paid the state |103,000 of capital stock tax. Ainey to Visit South—Chairman W. D. B. Ainey, of the Public Serv ice Commission, who has been suf fering from a heavy cold, will leave in a few days for a visit to Georgia. The chairman will preside to-mor row at the argument before the commission on the five-cent fare or dinance feature of trolley com plaints. He has refused to discuss the use of his name as a candidate for Governor by friends in the north eastern part of the state. Highway Commissioner O'Neil, who is in western counties, will be here to-morrow and speak in Down ington Tuesday night. Governor to Return—Governor Brumbaugh, it was learned to-day, may return to Harrisburg from Florida before the end of the week, but there is considerable speculation as to whether he will name a judge for the Perry-Juniata district be fore March. Mention of the name of Senator Scott S. of Marys ville, as a candidate was discour aged to-day as the Senator being now in the midst of his term can not accept such an appointive ofllce from the Governor.

The act is full of humorous situa tions. all of which are good fer hearty laughs. George N. Brown, the champion walker of the world, and his company of entertainers, are an added attraction on the bill. HufTord and Chain, in comedy, songs and non sense; Leona Gunerney, the girl with the pleasing personality and voice, and the Harms Trio, in a clever nov elty offering, round out the bill. On account of the numerous re quests that have been made for a re turn engagement of 'The Auction Rex Beach's "The Block" at Auction Block," the the Mnjeetic Colonial Theater man- agement has booked the picture for to-day only. It is a picturization of Mr. Beach's famous novel. "Tho Auction Block," and like all of his books, the story deals with real flesh-and-blood people. The char acters are those that we come in con tact with every day. It is a great human interest story, well told by <• cast of talented screen players.
