Public Service magazine OF Chicago Mr..
Marston is particularly interested in de-
termining the effect Of the bill on the
companies operating in the state
"The most important feature Of the
bill" he said, 'is that giving the COM
mission authority TO regulate rates. Dis,
crimination has been done away with
entirely in other states having such com.
missions, and ii is probable that the
same results will be obtained here. 1t
is obviously unfair for one consumer to
secure a lower rate than another for
the same character OF service. If such
conditions exist anywhere in the state,
they ought TO be done away with at
once. The bill is weak, of course, in
that it provides no definite penalty for
violations of this section, but the COM

Afterwards.

Rochester, N. H., Feb. e.-Albert c.
Fisher, aged AS, well-known lumber
dealer, died yesterday afternoon at his
homo on North Main street from blood
poisoning after only three days illness.
Mr.. Fisher, a few days ago, pricked p
pinple on his face and an incipient cass
of blood poisoning set in. Under this
condition he had an liberated tooth ex,
zsszcoed with the result that the bloos
poisoning became serious and death re-
suited.
Mr.. Fisher was born in Canada, but
had resided in Rochester for the last
twelve years. He was engaged in exten.
sive lumber operations in southern New
Hampshire and southwestern Maine. He
was associated with his four sons,
lCssarles, John, Frank and Norman in
the firm of A. c. Fisher & Sons. He
is also survived by widow.

Burlington, Feb. 9.--An alarm Of FIRE
was rung in last evening at GAS o'clock

Park avenue for grass fire east of
the plant of the Lumiere North Ameri-
can Co. A telephone call was first sent
in by Watchman Reed of the Vermont

alarm was sent in. The fire was a
stubborn one and it was necessary sto
tan on stream Of water before it
could be put out. It originated near
the old floral building, probably from
locomotive spark, and worked west

hose across the Rutland railroad track
and Mr.. Reed notified the railroad OPP
orator and sent fiagmen up and down
the track. Only the quick work of the
firemen saved the adjoining buildings
from serious danger.
