4 PERSONAL AND SOCIAL NEWS OF INTENSE INTEREST LEMOYNE SCHOOL ALUMNI BANQUET Annual Activities in Honor of Graduating Class Held .. Last Night Lemoyne, Pa., July 6. —Unfurling of a service flag containing six stars and presentation of an honor, roll to the Lemoyne school board fea tured the annual banquet of the If sol diers and their operation has nothing to do with the war work of the Gov ernment. The Commerce Committee is directed to ascertain why the Di rector-General of Railroads is hold ing these suburban electric lines and operating them, why the fare from New York to Newark has been In creased sixty per cent, and why the fare from New York to Jersey City was first advanced 100 per cent, and then reduced to the original rate of 5 cents. Mr. McAdoo, or some one represent ing him, will be called upon to ex plain the situation. While Senator Frellnghuysen in asking for the in vestigation is apparently prompted by the desire of his constituents in New Jersey to learn why they are paying Increased fares, there is doubt in the Senate whether the operation of these lines by the Government, at an Increased cost to the traveling public, can be Justified.
