SAYS 2-cENT LAW is UNFAIR.
President of Pennsylvania Road Testi
fies in Injunction Suit.


Philadelphia, July ID President
James A1cCrea Of the Penn sylvania
railway took. the==-sitness stand yeatar-
day in the common pleas court in the
suit of the railway to restrain the en-
forcement of the 2-cent fare law in
this state, and testified that the new
law is unfair and impracticable and
against the interest not only Of the
rallTay company but of the public.
He said the new law would not stima-
late passenger traffic, but would be a
hardship upon those who pay a lower
rate than 2 cents, as the company
would be forced to raise the commu-
tation and other low rates now prevail
ing. The company has presented facts
showing that the passenger traffic
amounted to about 81 per cent of its
whole business. The city and county
OF Philadelphia, the defendant, con-
tends that the company's figures are
not accurate: that they are mere
guesswork. and that instead of losing
money in operating it's passenger
trains, if the fares are reduced, the
company would earn about II per cent
on its passenger business.

Yamannoto Guest at Oyster Bay.
New York, July 13-Admiral Baron
Yamamoto was the guest of President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay yesterday.
In a private conversation the repre-
sentatives of the two countries dis
cussed the clouds that have been
hanging over the long-lasting friend
ship between Japan and America, and
each expressed the opinion that it was
merely a passing shadow, and one
which in no way could reach the eli
max that should shake the confidence
each country had in the other.

Although Admiral Yamamoto is in
America purely in a personal capacity
and in no way as a representative OF
his government, President Roosevelt
made special arrangements yesterday
to entertain him and a party Of naval
officers who accompanied him. Both
before and after the luncheon, at
which they were entertained at the
presidents summer home at Oyster
Bay, Mr. Roosevelt took occasion to
discnuss is an informal manner the
sensational stories that have been
printed in the papers of both coun.
tries.
No Chance for War.
Admiral Yamamoto said that any
feeling that there might be in Japan
because of the occurrences on the Pa
ciic coast was directed solely against
the people of that section of the coun
try and that there was no possible
chance of this feeling reaching point
where trouble between the two gov
ernments would be possible

sUSPENDTNG SENTENCE.

Representative Claude G.. Smith. of
Campbell county, states that he
had prepared and would introduce at
the coming session OF the Legislature Q
bill making it legal for judges OF Supe-
rior courts to suspend sentence in Ger.
tain classes of criminal cases. The
practice is followed now to some extent
by some judges, but is not authorized
by law. Representative Smith thinks
judges should be allowed discretion to
suspend sentence in certain cases where
they consider it advisable both from
the standpoint of society and the de-
fendant. His bill will also make it OPP
tional with the criminal whether he &C.
cepts the sentence or the suspension
under the terms proposed. In cases of
suspended sentence, provision will also
be made for bond for the faithful per-
formanee of the promise made to the
court.
