DUNSMORE 2-CENT FARE LAW
Question OF Its Constikutionality Ar
gued In Pennsylvania Supreme
Court

Pittsbrg. Nov. 10. - Philadelphia
countys appeal from an injunction re-
Gently granted the Pennsylvania rail
road by the common pleas court of
Pennsylvania. declaring the Dms-
more 2-cent fare law unconstitutional
and conhscatory, was argued before
the supreme court OF Pennsylvania sit
ting in this city
The outcome OF the argument, which
was concluded late yesterday, is of
vital Importance to the state and at
tracted many prominent members OF
the bar,
NJ. Hampton Todd, attorney general
of Pennsylvania; j. Howard Gendell,
city solicitor, and Andrew w. Craw-
ford and Ernest Lowengrund, assist
ant city solicitors of Philadelphia, ap-
peared for the commonwealth. John
G. Johnson and Francis l.. Gowen
represented the Pennsylvania railroad.
City Solicitor Gendell made the
principal argument for the state. Con-
cerning the question of coniiscatlon
which the railroad company raised he
asserted II the company's receipts
from all sources should become so
low. because of a legislative act, that
there was no return to an investor,
she act would be confiscatory. In
rather dramatic manner he said;
"Since the railroad has put into OPP
Grafton the 1000mile mileage book,
good for the bearer, its mileage has in
creased 5G.O00,OO0 miles over the cor
responding period of the previous
year"
The case of the railroad as summed
up by Mr.. Johnson in the paper book
which was given to the court is that
the railroad has a vested right to fix
rates, that it has done nothing to make
this right revokable by the legislat-
ure: that the 2-cent rate bill is not a
valid exercise of any rights which the
legislature may possess; that its en-
forcement will amount to the confs-
cation of property, and that the act
is an attempt to interfere with inter
state commerce.

Statistics of Iron Industry.

The iron industry in the United
States broke all records in 1906 in the
output of ore, pig iron and steel, and
the increase in production was accom-
panied by an increase in prices. The
quantity of ore produced was 4774s,-
72S long tons, valued at $100,597, LOG.
These figures show an increase OF
1928 per cent. in tonnage and OF
1888 per cent. in value over those for
1905.
Minnesota produces more than one
half the iron ore mined in the United
States, and Michigan produces nearly
one-fourth; and the iron ore product
of these two states together repre-
sents S2.45 per cent. OF the value OF
the entire product of the country
The following table shows The pro-
duction and value by states:

Dukes Alleged Dual Personality.

A remarkable trial now in progress
I'm London centers about the old
question whether Thomas Charles
bruce, at one time owner OF the Ia
,ous Baker street bazaar, who was
said to have died 43 years ago, was or
was not the same person as the eccen-
trio fifth Duke of Portland, who died
in 1879.
In June, 1906. workmen who were
tearing down Harcount house on Cav
endish Square. London, previously one
of the residences of the Duke of Port
land, discovered an underground pas
sage leading from the house to the
Baker street structure in which the
famous bazaar had previously been
end which was conducted by Thomas
Charles Druce.
George Druce, claimant for the es-
tates held by the present duke, de-
clares the fifth duke used the under
ground passage referred to for the
purpose OF getting from Harcourt
house to the place of business of
"Druce."
The suit of the claimant is being
pressed by limited liability company,
the directors of which are the claim
ant himself and George and John
Crickmer. A Mrs. Margaret Hamilton
has testified that she knew the fifth
duke both as Mr. Druce and as the
Duke of Portland and that she was
aware Of the fact that he had mar
ried Elizabeth Crickmer, the grand

The public service commission has
made public decision which sets
forth its attitude, on the one hand to-
ward competition in public service ia
:ilities within a city, and on the other
toward what 1t regards as attempts to
evade the prohibition by the new pub
lie service commissions law of infla-
tion or watering" of securities in the
merger of public service corporations
The decision is in the matter of the
proposed purchase by new corpora
tion, the Lockport Light, Heat and
Fower company, of the Lockport Gas
and Electric company and the Econo-
my Light, Fuel and Power company OF
Lockport.
that the proposed purchase does not
technically constitute a merger with
in the meaning Of the law, forbids the
new company to issue it's securities
for a capitalization above 100000,
equivalent to the total issues Of the
two old companies. The new COM
pany desired to issue stock and bonds
to total of $1,2O0,0OO.
The voluminous decision also makes
1t plain that the raising Of the price
of gas and electricity by the sitting
of competition through the combining
of competitive companies will not be
permitted. The Economy Light, Fuel
and Power company has been engaged
in 4 bitter war in the city of Lockport,
as result of which the price for cleo
trio power in that city is lower, 1t is
said, than in any other place in the
country. and the price for electric
light lower than in SO per cent. Of the
cities of the United States. Recently
the Lockport Gas and Electric Light
company was formed for the purpose
OF purchasing the rival companies and
consolidating the warning interests.
The commission accordingly pro-
hibits the raising of prices over those
that obtain at present.
