day In the United States Circuit Court
in the case of William Bullock Clark,
of Baltimore, VS.. the Ely Central Cop
per Company, an action for breach
of contract, Judgment having been
rendered by default and the jury
drawn to report to-day to fix the dam
ages.
Requistion was made on Washing
ton for several hundred dollars with
which to pay the jurors for their at
tendance and mileage, but no money
came. As "a result, the jurors brought
here from all over the State to-day
will have to wait for their pay until a
United States marshal Is appointed
Iand has bonded
II was said that the reason the
money was not sent TO the marshals
Office was because the marshal iH the
only one bonded and that as there is
no marshal, the money could not be
sent
The action for which the jurors re-
ported at II o'clock this morning was
filed In the local court some time ago
and Judgment given 10 the plaintll

COMMUTERS GAIN A POINT
Inquiry to Include All Interstate

The Jersey commuters who have been
fighting the increase of communication rates
on all roads entering New York City were
crestfallen yesterday over the decision Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission not
to cause the suspension of these increased
rates beyond July % William L. Ransom
and the Board of Trade OF New Brunswick,
which has retained him and Hugh NJ. Hew-
son. wired and wrote the commission ask
ing that a rehearing of their particular
complaint against the Pennsylvania be
granted at the earliest possible convenience.
The lawyers have gained a point in having
the commission include in its projected in
vestigatior of the reasonableness of the
advances those now charged the Connect
cut commuters by the New Haven road.
The investigation into the Teasonableness
of the advances in Communication rates will
therefore involve every interstate road en-
tering New York. But the New Brunswick
ians are anxious to have their case settled
on its individual merits. The Pennsylvania
Communication rates are on an average
higher than those of other roads, and Mr..
Ransom said yesterday that for this reason
he thought that If the New Brunswick
complaint had been considered separately
in the first place the commission would
have granted a suspension.
