Conner Cases Postponed

The county Judge on Monday heard
evidence in the criminal case brought by
Mrs. Elmer Conner in which she charged
her husband with dsssrtion and nom
support. After bearing the evidence the

action was taken. Corners attorneys
asked that tho case bs changed from the
district to federal court. on the plea that
the defendant was citizen of California,
and the Judge took the question under ad-
visement.

Financier Says More Rulings

Put Price on Air.

"A few more commissions OF your
kind and the people viii he Obliged 70

way G. H. TuveTsagt. president of the
STANDARD Finance Company Of New
York pitches into the Interstate Com
merce Commission because # made a
recent ruling declaring that school
tickets" as sold by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, were "discrimin-
atOry."
IF your commission has ever passed
ruling in which the public have not
been additionally deeced by the railroad.
I would be extremely glad TO be ad-
vised OF what il consists Of" is the
warm way in which Uuvegsaet con
cIudes his biting letter
But a commissioner came right back
at Uuyersagt. You state that you have
been compelled to pay more than Of
old for your transportation. " he wrote.
THE rule iu the past has been that
presidents of standard finance com
pauies have paid no fares al all. They
are paying like ordinary people today.
which I think is another benent % the
public from the law which we admin
lister"
Regarding the school ch.ldren's ticket
ruling. the commissioner said
THE commission ruled that IF the
Pennsylvania railroad saw ft 10 trans
port your child. who is presumably able
10 pay its fare, To- school for certain
price, it must accord the same privilege
10 the poor cash eirI, who is obliged %
work for her living, that il it trans
ports the day scholar, II must also
transport the bow WhO, obliged TO labor
through the day, must attend an even
lue school if he attended any. In other
words. we held that the Pennsylvania
railroad must treat all children alike.
and we explicitly pointed out 10 that
company when the ruling was made
that what 1T ought 20 do was TO open its
tariff 90 all children.
AS . remember Do. some three years
ago this commission sat for several
weeks iu Philadelphia iuquIlug into the
coal operations OF the Peuusy lEalla.
That Investigation exposed condition
OF graft from top 90 bottom In that
eampau.- which startled the whole coun-
try As a result the independent coal
operator stands today something Ike a

ness upon that railroad.
