that further suspension would not be
necessary, but a review OF the situa-
ton today appeared to indicate the de-
STABILITY, II not the necessity, for
further time. 1t is semi-officially
pointed out that it will not be possible
for the commission to reach decision
and make an order covering its con-
clusions before February 1. With
that situation confronting it, the COM
mission informally took UP with the
representatives of the railroads now
in Washington as participants in the
oral arguments of the cases the propo.
sition to further suspend the rates.
They, in turn, have referred the mat
ter to the executive officers OF the
various lines.
1t Is expected the railroads again
voluntarily will suspend the rates, in
view Of the suggestion Of the com
mission. If they do not comply with
the commissions intimated request.
the likelihood is that the commission
will exercise its authority to suspend
the rates for such time as will enable
1t to finally dispose Of the cases.

TESTS ATTORNEYS RIGHT
TO TRANSFER LICENSE.
SaloOn-keeper Brings Suit
Against Brewing Company.

In proceedings before Vice-Chancellor
Howell today the validity of a power
of attorney to transfer a license was
attacked. John Paleo, a saloon-keeper,
of Sc Avenue c, was the complainant
and. the Lyon Sons Brewing Company
and Gottfried C. Kruger, it's president,
the defendants.
It is set forth in the bill, which was
filed by Mulligan e. Koenig, on behalf
of the saloon-keeper, that he, on July
13. 1910, gave to the defendant COM
pany a power of attorney to transfer
his license as security for the repay
ment of the license fee which the de-
aendant had advanced.
Raleo SOLD his place recently to Fred
erick Sanders and agreed to assign his
license to the purchaser. but met with
d denial when he asked to have the
power of attorney returned to him.
The court was told that while the IL
cense Paleo wants transferred will ex-
pire shortly the Board of Excise Com
missioners is acting on the assumption
that the power of attorney holds over.
IAN order directing the defendants to
show cause why any transfer of the
license by the defendants should not be
enjoined was the result of the applica-
ton. 1t was made ~returnable for
June ~.
