LINE BUYING
CUTS ROADS REVENUE
R., F.&P r. R. Asks Commission for Rightto Increase
Rate to Three Cents Per Mile Where Passengers
Without Tickets, PAY Fare on Trains.

In accordance, with an announcement
to that effect made heretofore, Presi-
dent william H. White and General
Counsel w. j. Leakc, of the Richmond.
and Potomac Railroad,
appeared before the state Corporation
Commission yesterday and filed pc
.titjon asking leave to increase rates 30
per cent. on passengers who failed to
purchase their tickets from tho station
agent and offered a ash fare on the
train. The commission fixed June 4th,
at II A. NJ. as tho date for public
hearing.
The petition sets forth the comnany's
side OF the contention at length. STAT
ing that at all OF Its stations 1t main
tains Offices for the sale of tickets, and
that sufficient number OF ticket SELL
.ers are In attendance to accommodate
the public before the departure OF
trains.
Under the present order OF the COM
mission any person paying cash fare
to the train conductor may be charged
10 cents extra, for which the railroad
company has to give a rebate check,
redeemable at the next station where
there Is a ticket office.
Cash Fare Business Grows.
The petition sets forth that the habit
of paying cash fares on trains has
grown to enormous proportions; that
the company has but little means OF
keeping check on Its conductors who
handle this money. and that many
persons going only a short distance
offer large bills for which II is diff
cult to get change. Further. 1t is
claimed that on suburban and local
trains the numerous stops make 1t III
some cases impossible for conductor
to get through the cars before some
pa ssengcrs reach their destination and
leave without paying their fare The
petition asks that the rates for adults
be made 1 cent a mile In addition to
the regular fare. where tickets are not
obtained at the station. For those en-
titled to half-fare, the excess asked
is one-half cent mile.
Want to J,ctnln Rebate Checks.
Regarding the rebate coupon the pc
tition says:
..iOur petitioner prays thnt modi-
ficatiOn OF the order may he made 10

CARELESS NEGRO
Walks INTO WELL
Hurled twenty-five Feet as
Timbers Crashed, and Was
Pulled Out Unhurt. /

Walking with his head in the air and
careless OF where his weary feet were
leading him. William Jones. colored, OF
No. 1401 1-2 Moore Street. stepped on
to the planking of an old we'll on the
Crenshaw property, at Adams and Main
Streets, last night. and was preclpitated
twenty-five feet below, as the rotten
woodwork gave way beneath his
weight. Down he plunged. but FORUM
ately feet foremost. and landed with d
Jerk, right side up.
Though momentarily stunned, he
managed to let out few screeches,
and passersby, wondering from whence
the unearthly sounds came. finally To-.
Gated him in the well. They could not
descry, his form, but his plaintive vail
ings SO rent the ambient air that no
doubt was left in the minds OF those
above ground that something mysteri-
Gus was happening beneath them.
Satisfied at last that 1t was some one
calling loudly for help, they telephoned
to the Secind Police Station. and the
automobile patrol, filled with ropes, re-
sponded Immediately.
Policeman Shields lowered a rope to
the yelling negro. and then he and
Squire J. p. Purdie and Chauffeur Drake.
Juggling with might and main. pulled
him out. There was but little water
in the we'll. and the only injured suf-s
fered by the negro was dampened feet.
He was more than grateful for his res
cue. AS he was unhurt, he was dis
patch ed about his business. and he
stood not on the order Of his going.
but went, this time more circumspectly.

travelling public-the cost OF An Inter-

since the Richmond. Fredericksburs
and Potomac Railroad Company put

ration Commission for cent rate.
tickets between points In Virginia and
points outside of the State, belonging
TO interstate traffic, and over which
the State Corporation Commission had
no jurisdiction. have still been figured
at the old 3 cent rate. Passengers
from Richmond to Washing ton. there
fore, instead of buying ticket for the
full 100 miles at 3 cents. have pur-
chased tickets from the agent In Rich
mond to Alexandria, at cents per
mile.
Reaching Alexandria they either buy
IA ticket from Alexandra to Washing
ton at 3 cents, or pay this amount to
the conductor, with the 10 cent fee.
for which rebate check Is given.
Many fast trains do not stop at Alex
sndria. or barely stop there. so that
passengers boarding trains in WASH
ington for points In the South have
no time to get off, and purchase tick
cts. and the company has lately put
into effect a rule prohibiting agents
from selling tickets while a train is
standing In the station. Travellers
North and South, therefore. claim that
TO grant the present request OF the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac Railroad would, in effect, nullify
the 2-cent rate SO far as travel from
Virginia TO the District OF Columbia
Is concerned.
