Wotherspoon to be a brigader general removes
the block TO promotions in the infantry arm when
has existed since his nomination was sent to the
Senate early in the session. General WotheTspoons
advancement 10 brigade rank was followed by the

Little doubt is expressed here that the coih-

In the defence. The leadership of the fight will
fall to Senator White, of Syracuse

friends say he is preserving his attitude of last
year, that, having sent his reiterated demand
for Kelsey's removal to the Senate, his duty and
responsibility are ended. There is little doubt
that he could arouse enough sentiment by few
speeches to cause the removal Of the Insurance
Department head. but he will not do business
that way. Much discussion of the effect Of a
second defeat on the Kelsey issue the Gov

That is not influencing his attitude. Hughes

there will not only not harm him. but strengthen
him with the general public and insure the

DECISION PLEASES p. S. e..
Azcaifs Complaint about Fare to
COneY Island.

Nenohers of the Public Service Commission were
much pleased yesterday afternoon over the news
from Albany that the Court of Appeals in the Sa-
ratcga gas had upheld the constitutionafity OF
the public service act and declared that the Less-
lature had the right 10 delegate its powers to TX
rates a commission.
I'VE of course never doubted right to act
under the law" said Chairman Wilcox, "but this
decision will give free hand when we come 10
questions of fixing rates. So far we have not
taken up any such questions 1t has not been
however because we have been waiting for a test
of the constitutonalty of that provision or the a"
We have been pretty busy with other things "o
are taking up things they to us and are not
letting any question of determination OF the con-
stitutionality OF any part of the law which might
be brought up delay work in any particular
The absolute determination OF the right OF the
commission to fix rates under the act will probably
OF advantage soon when it comes to settling the
much asitated question as to whether the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company should carry passengers 10
Coney Island for scent fare. SO TAR no COM
plants regarding the 10cent fare have reached the
commission but likely come in now. as
the Wagner scent Coney Island fare hlli was pEac-
ticaIIy killed yesterday at Albany by being SEM
back TO the Assembly committee. This action was
taken the ground that the Public Service Coin-
mission had full power fix such rate II, after
an investigation complaint, 1t found that such
a rate would be reasonable
I'VE shall Of course, take up the question as
get the proper complaint" said Chair-
man WILCOX. but took part in opposing
the Wagner bill at Albany We have plenty 10 do,
and II the Legislature decided that 1t wanted 10

self would have acquiesced."
In view of the letter sent to Senator Mccall by
Chairman Wilcox some days ago. in which he
said the commission held it had full power to fix
rates to Coney Island after proper investigation
and practically invited the necessary complaint to
begin investigation, ii has been thought strange
that such formal complaint has been received
The commission stands ready to take up the ques-
ton just as soon as the complaint is received,
which ought = be soon now that the relief sought
by the advocates of the scent fare in the Leg
isature has failed

AUGUST BELMoNT's GAS METER FAST.
Worst One Found by Public Service Commis-

According 10 John E. Eustis of the Public Ser
vice Commission, it Is wise man who knows his
gas meter. At the dinner of the New Ro-
chelle Merchants Exchange Mr. Eustis said that
the commission has Inspected 10000 gas meters
in New York City, Of which 50 per cent have been
found to vary. The worst meter the inspectors
found" said he, was August Belrnonts own
meter. which 153 per cent too fast, showing
against the gas company
Mr. Eustis said that the commission probably
would take action against the New York
& Port Chester Railroad Company. We having
investigation made he said. "and if construc
ton Is not begun will put the president
of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
Company the stand and ask him what he means

must be declared forfeited.
At the time Of the organization of the plaintlir
association Justice Greenbaum says, the serious
conditions between the labor unions ana the
employers who formed the association resulted
In the suspension of work on the part of the
employers Work was resumed only after
agreements had been made with such labor
unions as were willing to enter into them
wherein it was provided that controversies dur
ing certain fixed period of time were to be
settled by arbitration, and that strikes on the
part of the employees, or lockouts on the part or
the employers were not TO be declared until all
efforts at arbitration should have been found
to be imperative.
The action grew out OF the Thompson -Starrett
company employing members Of the Brother
hood of Carpenters January ID, 19Oo. after
the board of governors of the association had
ordered that the union should no longer be rec
ogniZed, as the men had refused to return TO
work as ordered on August 30, when strike
had been declared.
Justice Greenbaum held that it had been
shown that the Thompson-Starrett company
had bound itself on subscribing to the constltu-
ton OF the association. The final plea or the
company that the resolutions of the board of
governors of the association were contrary 10
public policy and void denied.
