OBJECT
TO INCREASE OF
RAILROAD RATES
Atlantic City and Other Places
Hard Hit by the Pennsyl-
vania and Reading.
Especial to the Evening star.l

ATLANTIC CITY, April 27.-Protests
are being made by the officials of his
and other resorts reached by the Penn
sylvania and Reading railroads against
the increase of rates announced to go
into effect on June l. These increases
amount to about twenty-five cents for
the round trip between Philadelphia
and this city, or Cape May, Wildwood
and all other places reached i've the
roads running to the coast.
1t is believed that this increase is a
fo%rerunner of others to come on lines
leading to resorts along the North Jer-
sey coast.
Not only the straight fares have been
increased, but those of commuters as
well. e.
The statement issued by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad is as follows:
lowing to the large increase in oper-
ating expenses, due to the increased
cost of labor and material, increased
taxes and additional fixed charges con-
sequent upon the large expenditures for
improvements which have been very
properly forced pon the company to
accommodate the public, and for the
better protection of travel on streets
and highways through the abolition of
grade crossings, an increase in rates of
fare charged on the West Jersey and
Seashore Railroad is rendered abso-
lutely necessary"

Jersey Democrats Will Not In
struct Delegates to Denver
for Bryan.
DOUBT SINCERITY OF
DAVIS FOR NEBRASKAN
Slate Includes Ex-senator Smith,
Frank S. KatzenbaCh, Jr., HOw-
ard CarrOw, Johnston Cornish.
[From a STAFF Correspondent

TRENTON, April 27.-Democratic
politicians arrived here this afternoon
for the conferences that will take place
tonight preliminary to the State con-
vention, which will be held tomorrow
afternoon to select the delegates-at
large from this State to the Denver
convention OF July 7.
1t is the understanding among the
State leaders hat the big Four" from
this State will be former United States
Senator James Smith, jr., Of Newark;
Frank S. K~atzenbach, jr., of Trenton;
Howard Carrow, of Camden, and John
ston Cornish, of Washington.
Robert S. Hudspeth, of Hudson
county, who is the State chairman,
could go in Cornish's place if he de-
sired, but he has said that he is not a
candidate and will not be. The only
Hudson county candidate is Robert
Davis, but it is believed unlikely that
he will be accepted on account of his
Bryan proclivities. There is no doubt
this is a non-Bryan State. 1t is
doubted if Davis is sincerely for Bryan,
but only proclaiming him for political
effect.
It is practically assured that the con
vention will not declare for Bryan and
it is almost as certain that it will not
declare against him. There is a strong
anti-Bryan sentiment among the Jersey
Democrats, but at the same time he is
not entirely without friends here and
this will probably result in the omission
of his name from the convention pro-
ceedings.

conferences with representatives of the

which trains are permitted to pass
without stopping, except those where
the approach is such that derails can
not he placed Upon the ground. For
these bridges the plan roposes inter
locking signals and derail connected
with tie draw and movable portion of
the tracks, also home signal, govern
ing movement in both directions on
each track. No trains to be allowed 10
pas over bridges of this class at a
j greater speed than forty miles an
hour.
Glass 4 comprises drawbridges where
the approach is ouch hat derails
cannot be placed upon the ground.
For these bridges smash or drop
boards are to be located not less than
800 feet from the end of draw. Home
signal to be located on same bridge or
pole and distant signal not less than
1,500 feet back of home signal. Trains
