Attorneys office has against the prisoner,
that Mr.. Jerome is confident OF convicting him.
which he was not during the first trial.
Mr.. Caravan has prepared about every important
criminal case that the District Attorneys office
has handled since he first appointed. While
he was abroad procured Il mass of detail concern
ing the life OF Harry and Evelyn Thaw that is said
TO controvert much of the testimony of the first
trial and 10 substantiate much which was unfavor-

After the first trial many OF the Jurors said that
her story had aroused distinctly unfavorable i'm

she does testify at the second trial 1t is thought

he has not denied that Mrs. Thaw will not be a
witness While the defence is reported to have
found two or three witnesses among the
theatrical associates Of the Thaws the District

PLANS TWO-CENT RATE
Public Service Commission SummO nS
Ne1C York Railroads.

Albany, Nov. 2-Representatves Of all rail-
roads operating in this state will be summoned
before the Public Service Commission of the I'd
District November % to show cause why
they should not be directed by the commission
to issue interchangeable mileage books of 900
and 500 miles at a uniform rate of two cents
and without many Of the restrictions now placed
upon the sale Of mileage books by some OF the
larger companies.
The 2-cent fare bill passed by the last
Legislature was vetoed by Governor Hughes
largely on the ground. as stated in his message
that the subject required full and fair investi-
cation. Before passing the resolution calling
the railroads before them an investigation of
fares and mileage throughout the state was
undertaken and elaborate table was COM
piled.
From this table It appears that S.499 miles
of railroad operated in this state. With
the exception Of 1912 miles. passengers are car
ried over all these lines over 1872 miles of
the total mileage mileage books at 2-cent
rate are available for transportation. over
eighty-nve miles of roads which issue mile
age books those of other roads are accepted.
While seven-eighths Of the roads issue 1000
mile books. 5OO-mile books at present are issued
over only a little more than half the total mile
Gge OF the state. The New York. Ontario ~
Western Railroad. operating 416 miles. has
local rate Of two cents. but issues no mileage
books over less than per cent. or 1913 miles
in ALL no 2-cent rate is accepted in the
form Of mileage book otherwise.
The questions which Will be put 10 the repre-
scntatives of tho railroads decided on by
the commission. designed to discover
whether It is feasible for such railroads to adopt
an interchangeable mileage book good upon all
roads. with suitable exceptions of short roads
operating under peculiar conditions; whether
the rate a mile for such books should not be
uniformly two cents; whether such books should
not be issued without restrictions and without
requiring signatures. being equivalent in effect to
coupon tickets and whether the minimum num-
Der of miles FOR which such mileage books shall
be sold should not be 800. with books for multi
pies Of 500.
The principal problem involved in the ques-
ton Of a universal 2-cent mileage book is TO
devise a way to protect roads whose total mile
age Is only a small percentage of the roads OPP
Grated in this state. and which, It Is claimed
cannot exist at n 2-cent rate Another I'M
portant question is that OF abolishng the prac-
tice of some roads Of issuing mileage books at
n higher rate than two cents and afterward
ewing rebates.
