Today's game and all others on
week days will be called at $3.50
o'clock.
It was at first anticipated that the
new grand stand would accommodate
all of the crowds here for the games
but if the patronage continues as
good as the first three days it will be
necessary for the association to Duiia
an addition to it.
The Harrisburg and Cairo teams
are about evenly matched and three
good games are assured fans from
the series.

HIT AT RECEIPTS TO
TAME TRACTION co.

Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Now that the Private Board Of Pub
lie Futilities seems TO be trying to
make it more difficult TO file complaints
properly" with the Board, and thus
give an excuse as to why the Board
should not proceed against any prey
ing public utility, il seems that the
remedy against the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company is not
in "public" officials but in the public
itself. Let everybody walk for three
months, and see If the Traction Com
pany can pay its operating expenses,
let alone interest on its watered
finances and saturated bond issues,
and its big rentals for the quarter.
This would bring the coin-snatching
crowd to terms. Let's try It,
Willing Walker.

think, so that there can be no doubt of
your authority in the premises, where
as there may be some question about
the authority of another department
in existence for about twenty-four
years, and which has never exercised
this power before.
If a condition of chaos is brought
about, I feel quite certain the people
will welcome chaos, If with it, will
come a declaration Of the existence of
a board having unquestioned control
over Public Service, Corporations in
this city. / am sure your commission
will take up this matter at once and
that you will avail yourselves of the
wide powers given you, and while in
flicting no~harm on the railway COM
pany, you will satisfy the people by
compelling the company TO produce
proof that their action in the matter
is justified by the demand for a fair
return on the money invested. Thank

Mr.. HamiItOn's Complaint
The complaint of Mr.. Hamilton
reads:
ITO the members of the Public Utili-
ties Commission.
Gentlemen: AS a. citizen of VIII.
mington and a taxpayer the under
signed complainant protests against
the withdrawal of the strip tickets by
the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company, and he, the under
signed complainant, complains that q
five-cent fat rate is an unreasonable
one, and that he, the undersigned
complainant, therefore would respect
fully urge your honorable body in the
interest Of the people of Wilmington
and in the cause of justice and fail
play to use all the powers with which
your honorable body is vested under
the law to have this unjust and un-
reasonable order withdrawn.
CAS- the writer understands the law
under which your body operates, th'
commission has the power to- deter
mine what is a reasonable rate. Th'
undersigned complainant submits
therefore that it will be impossible Il
arrive at what is a reasonable rat
unless the physical valuation of th'
plants operated by the several com
panies is known. The complainant
asks you, therefore. that you immedi
ately take steps to discover the rea
value of the holdings of the Whining
ton and Philadelphia Traction Com
pany and also the holdings Of al
other public utilities doing business
in Wilmington.
"In making this request the com
plainant would respectfully call tn
attention of your honorable body L
the fact that Wilmington is alread
groaning under an unbearable burde
of taxation levied by the constitute
authorities; that the city is fast ap
preaching the limits of its borrowin
capacity; improvements in the sub
urbs are retarded by the fact that tn
department Of streets has not tn
money to open up the needed high
