Wilson and Audenreid, in the common
pleas court today handed down a de-
cision I'm favor of the Pennsylvania
railroad declaring the two cent fare
law unconstitutional.
The outcome of the proceedings is
one of vital importance to the thous-
ands of commuters who use the rail-
roads terminating in this city. The
question has been before them because
of the fact that all Communication rates
are restricted to September 30 For
this reason they have been paying
more for their trips 10 and from the
city. not because Of a general raise in
rates. but because short fsme tickets
limited TO that date cost more.

The Asiatics are going about the city

Wilmington, and Dallas, of Philadel-
phia. It is said that Judge Gray does
not desire 70 sit in the case because OF

Judges who will determine the person
mel of the Court are Gray, Dallas and
