all public utilities and claimed that
thereby the public's interest would be
best served and that the many discrim
nations existing on account of private
ownership would be done away with.
Prof. Parsons said that while there had
been reduction In through rates. there
has been scarcely any reduction in local
rates in the last thirty years. The tele-

ROW OVER A SExT0N'S BILL
Second Degree Assault Case GROWS
Out of a misunderstanding of q :.
j. -
Money Matter. ).

Edward Bennett was arrested yester-
day afternoon on a charge of assault
in the second degree on Edward Will
oughby, sexton at Mont Moriah ceme-
terry. and held on a bond of $500 by JUS
tice Arnold to await a hearing tomorrow
afternoon. 1t is alleged that Bennett
struck Willoughby with piece of smell
ter Stag but Bennett says he did not use
anything save his fist. Wiloughby has
a cut near the left eye.
The trouble between the men had It's
origin in the watering of a grave at the
cemetery. Willoughby says Bennett en-
ployed him about a year ago to water a;
grave in the family lot and he spoke to-
Mrs. Bennett about the pay for 1t yes
terday. Bennett says he employed Will
loughby to water the grave only one
month, beginning about May of last
year, the understanding being that
Willoughby should receive $3.50 for 1t as
soon as he, Bennett, could pay the
amount. Bennett says a larger bill was
presented and that Willoughby insulted
his wife at the time he spoke to her
about the pay.
