Big Peotslon Coming.—A decision
of far reaching importance in re
gard to compliants against increases
of fare by street railway companies
in communities where rates are fix
ed by franchise ordinances will
probably be handed down by the
Public Service Commission when it
meets on Monday for executive ses
sion. The commission has been
considering whether it can take jur
isdiction in such complaints or
whether because they are contracts
they should be a matter for the
courts. It is 'believed that the com
mission will take jurisdiction. If
this is done the way will be opened
for early action in complaints from
Pittsburgh, Wilkinsburg, Scranton
and a number of other places.
There are small prospects of any
vacation for commissioners this
summer owing to the numerous
cases pending.

the meeting of the State Forestry
Association in the Poconos yester

thrown out because there was no
check received.

Beary was at Sea Girt in connection
with the rifle matches and other

Dope From Car. —State and Fed
eral agents succeeded in catching a
gang of men who had been selling
"dope" from automobiles in Phila
delphia.
New Draft Rules—All local draft
boards in Pennsylvania have been
instructed to adhere to the regula
tions in classifying the new regis
trants in regard to dependency, es
pecially where parents or relatives
are willing to provide for dependants
while the registrant is in servlee.
Boards have been instructed in con
sidering claims for deferred classi
fication on dependency grounds "to

state or municipalities for the main
tenance of dependants while the
registrants on whose labors these i
persons are dependent for support
are in the military service of the
United States." Cancellation of
numbers of serial numbers whether
because of a death or not must not
be made without authority from the
state headquarters. Boards have
