. THE. TWO-CENT FARE LAW
and snsn Il st1''' Ohio on In,s's'a's asI''sas
Business Passengers InConvenienCed If
Try 10 Get the Benefit Of the Law.

with the result that it is necessary
for the passenger to leave the train
as soon as the state line is crossed
and re-check baggage.
The commercial travellers and other
organizations which have been in
strumentaa in compelling theS rail
road companies to reduce the rates
from three cents a mile propose that
thorough investigation of the inter-
state rates shall be made for the
purpose, If possible, of remedying
the existing evils in the sale of
through tickets.
Officials of the railroads assert that
under the ruling of the interstate
commerce commissionn and the Fed
eral laws the action of any state
fixing a maximum rate within it's
boundaries in no way affects the
rates in travelling from one state to
another. The Interstate commerce
commission, they claim, reserves the
right to determine whether or not
interstate rates are reasonable, and
on the strength of this legislation
the railroads are permitted to main
tain the same through rates as are
now in vogue and which are based
on three-cent-a-mile rate.
Even under these conditionns," /"
said railroad man, "the Federal
laws empower the railroads to ignore
the two-cent state laws on through
tickets. 1t is a question, however,
If this practice will be carried out, as
the moral principle involved VIII OBJ
ligate the railroad companies 10 ad-
here to the state laws. Only within
the boundaries of the state where
the two-cent law is enforced are the
railroads obliged to reduce the rates" :"
A meeting of representatives of the
varinIs organizations interested in
the fight for reasonable rates will be
held in the East in the near future
to take up the question of Interstate
rates. 1t is understood that the case
is to be tried in the United States
courts for the purpose of establish.
ing a ruling in regard to the matter
At the meeting July 27 of the Cen.
trail Passenger association, which IN
cludes all the roads between Pitts
burg, Buffalo, Chicago and St. LOUIS
this matter was discussed. A num-
Der of the roads express favor of tn
idea of recognizing the Ohio two-cent
law for basing purposes ON through
rates. The Pennsylvania company
voted in favor of this plan, but rep
resentatives of other roads, acting un-
der the direction of executive off
GERS, opposed the proposition.

FOR DIVORCE
Mrs. Sell Fileo Her Petition in Court.
Makes Charges Against
Husband.

Annie Sell, through her attorney w
J. Piero, filed her petition in court
yesterday against her husband
Charles Sell, stating that she was
married ON the 23rd day of June, 1890
and that three children were born OF
such marriage, Hazel, aged IA, Harry
aged IL and Marie, aged 8.
The wife says she has always con
dueted herself properly towards her
husband but that he has been wilfully
absent for more than three years, and
that during all of that time he has
wholly failed and neglected to provide
his family with. the common necessar.
les of life SO that she was compelled
to and did maintain herself by her
own labor and the assistance of her
relatives and friends.
The plaintiff also charges her hus-
band with habitual drunkenness for
more than five years. She prays for
a divorce upon the final hearing of her
cause and for such other and further
relief as>may be proper.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug els the Penn
sylvania company ignoring the Ohio
two-cent rate law?
Among travellers this question IS
one of vital Importance at the pres
ent time and may result in an inves-
tigation by the interstate commerce
commission to determine by what
right the railroads continue to i'm
pose three-cent rate when the Ohio
legislature has fixed the maximum
rate per mile at two cents within the
state boundaries.
Since the enactment of the two
cent fiat rate in Ohio the Pennsyi-
vania and other trunk lines operating
through that state have failed to
change the through rates to conform
with the new legislation. The claim
is made that the interstate laws en-
power the railroads to apply on
through tickets such rates as may be
deemed reasonable by the interstate
commerce commission. Fortified by
this ruling the Pennsylvania company
and other lines continue to eXtCrt
from travellers considerable money
on through tickets or impose upon
them numerous inconvenience should
anyone attempt to get advantage Of
the two-cent law in travelling through
Ohio.
Facts showing the immense earn
ings of the company from this prac-
tice are CLEANED from comparison
of the fixed through rates and the
possible lower rates by taking ad-
vantage of the two.cent law beyond
the state line. In travelling to Gin
cinnati on a through ticket purchased
in Pittsburg the rate of 1886 is ap-
piled. BY purchasing a ticket to
Steubenville for $1.3O and paying fare
on the train at the rate of two cents
a mile the remainder of the distnnce
it is saving of $1.65 over the en-
forced rate of the railway company
Making the trip to Cleveland in a
similar manner, it is possible to real
ize a saving of GO cents; Toledo,
$145, and all other Ohio points
similar saving prOportionate with the
distance Travelled.
To prevent the gaining of this ad-
vantage as much as possible the rail
road companies impose inconveni-
ences on the travellers in the matter
of checking baggage, which makes
it almost impossible to get the bene-
fit of the two-cent law if a person is
carrying other than hand-baggage
The railroad company refuses %
check baggage beyond the point
designated on the ticket purchased

SUIT TO ENJ0|N
ALLIANCE CITY
Improvement of Munich
pal Water Works Plant
Not Satisfactory and
Matter Goes to Court.
Contact Held Up by
Restraining Order.

Jonathan Myers, a taxpayer, on be-
half of the city of Alliance, filed an
action in the common pleas court
yesterday against the city of Alliance
and the members of the board of pub
lie service, alleging that on the 18th
day of April, 1906, the city of Alli-
ance by an ordinance duly passed pro-
vided for the issuance and sale of
bonds of the city for the purpose OF
enlarging and improving the munich
pal water works plant. That the city
on the goth of June, 1906, sold of the
authorized bond issue $500 four per
cent water works bonds, which bonds
were purchased and paid for and plac-
ed to the credit of the city in the
water fund.
The plaintiff states on the 18th day
Of July the city council passed an
ordinance authorizing the board of
public service to enter into contract
for the Improvement of the water
works plant in an amount not to ex-
ceed $500, that plans and, specifica-
tions were adopted by the board and
bids were advertised for for the erec-
ton In the boiler house at the pump
ing station of two water tube boilers,
brick work, and other apparatus, in
cluding all labor and material neces-
sary for setting the boilers complete,
that bids were furnished by a number
of firms for the doing of the work ana
furnishing the material, among which
was the bid of Wickes Bros, of Sag
inaw, Mich.
WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
The plaintiff further alleges that on
the 9th day of July the board ac-
cepted the bid of Wickes Bros for the
work to be done but that they did so
without authority and had no right
to enter into a contract with them
because the boilers set forth and de-
scribed in their bid are not in ac-
cordance with the plans and specifica-
tions, that their boilers have large
fiat-stayed surfaces and in no re-
spect conform to the plans and spec
ifications adopted by the board
1t is alleged that a majority of the
board ,GeorP4 Sturgeon and William
H. Soper in accepting the Wickes
Bros. bid have acted arbitrarily and
unlawfully against the protest of
Frank Transue, the third member of
the board, and that if permitted to
close the contract the money of the
city will be wrongfully used and its
corporate powers abused.
The plaintiff prays for an injunction
against the city and its officers and
agents to prevent them from taking
any further steps in the matter of
the Wickes Bros contract until the
cause shall be heard and that upon
the final hearing the injunction be
made perpetual.
Common Pleas Judge e. E. Rob
erts of Warren allowed the tempo
rary restraining order in the absence
of the judges from this county. j. S.
