COMPLAIN AGAINST RATE
Commercial TraucIIerS Want d., l..
& ". Fares Reduced.

Albany. Aug. 5-Complaint against the rate OF
fare established by the Delaware. Lackawanna &
Western Railroad Company was made to-day to
the Public Service Commission in the 2d District
by Daniel Gray, chairman Of the United CONNER
ctaI Travellers organization OF the state. The
commission Is asked make investigation ana
fix q rate of two cents a mile This is the first
complaint of its kind filed with the commits
sion.
The United Commercial Travellers were largely
instrumental IL securing the passage OF the Bald
win bill providing nat rate OF two cents a
mile on all railroads this state Among the
reasons advanced by Governor Hughes for mis- veto
Of the measure that the new Public service
Commission would have ample powers To order re-
ductious Of fares IT, after investigation. Il found
conditions 10 Justify It
The petition fled today sets forth that, except
TO those purchasing mileage books the rate OF fare
Is o. cents & mile. which is alleged TO be OK
cesslve unreasonable and unjust, and that it is be
ueved a rate OF two cents u mile IS fun and ample
compensation for the service rendered and would
yield reasonable and large profits 10 said corpora
ton for the money invested Reference is made 70
the fact that the State OF Pennsylvania fixes by
law the rate OF fare this road within that state
AT two cents mile
The petition also alleges that the issuance Of
mileage books IS unjust discrimination against thoss
who cannot afford TO purchase books and who do
not have occasion TO travel thousand miles with
in any year, and that the issuing OF mlieaGe
books is unjust because Of the additional amount
required to be paid above the two cents mile ior
one thousand miles. and that the limiting OF the
use Of q book within the year IS an unreasonable
restriction.

Newport News Usually Slow
But Big Exposition Makes

BY our Own Wire. Publishers Press.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. Feb. L.
Business men from Yankeeland all sa y
that the business men of the South are
"slow-dead slow" and there is some
foundation for that saying. South OF
Mason and Dixon's line ''wait a mia-
ute" is q common expression, even
among business men when their GUS
toners are anxious to spend money.
The willingness to delay is similar to
that which is manifested south of the
Rio Grande and south Of the Pyranees,
in the Spanish proverbial 'iManana."
For example: Three years have
elapsed since it was first proposed To
have n national celebration of the
three hundreth anniversary Of the set
Element Of this country at jamestown.
Two years have elapsed since the first
work began for the Developments of
that idea. The congressional appropri-
ations are available. The plans for the
jamestown Exposition have been car
ried into effect, so that the exposition
proper is almost ready for the grand
opening in April.

There are no bakeries in Newport
