ON
RATE INCREASE
Tell About Changes Going
Into Effect August |.

Trenton, July 27-At the hearing
before the State Board of Public
Utility Commissioners today, insti-
tuted upon It's own initiative for an
inquiry into the new railroad pas
senger tariffs to take effect August
l, the claim was made by the rail-
road companies that the new rates
were not a general increase, but q
readjustment of rates in conformity
with the requirements Of the federal
interstate commerce law.
The Pennsylvania railroad was
the first line considered. H. W.
Bikle presented its case. He claim
ed that the Interstate commerce law
provides that the fare between two
points shall not be greater than the
sum of the fare between intermedi-
ate points; that it was TO comply
with this provision that the new
tariffs had been prepared. One way
fares, he said, were adjusted last
February and the new rates for
August 1 were a readjustment Of the
excursion rates. The old schedules,
he claimed, contained innumerable
rates not in accord with the law He
insisted that there was no general
disposition to increase fares and
that the new rates were not a gener-
al increase.
In support of this he stated that
the number of advances on the Am
boy division is seventy-nine. The
greatest increase is twenty cents be-
tween Bordentown and Camden. The
number of reductions in fare is 448,
the greatest being twenty-six cents
| between Trenton to Avon. On the
New York division the reductions
n-<Aer 4,720 and the advances

REMOVING THE
DEAD BRANCHES
Shade Tree Commission Has
Men at Park.

A gang of men in the employ of
the Shade Tree Commission began
trimming dead branches from shade
trees along High street, near city
hall park, this morning, They will
go over the entire city to trim and
generally place in shape all shade
trees on streets and public grounds
The Shade Tree Commission settled
on this action short time ago, as
the commissioners believe that now
Is the opportune time to do such
work as dead branches can easily be
detected by the fact that they bear
no leaves.
Now that active work has been
started in this line 1t Is the intention
of the commissioners to see that
shade trees In all public places about
the city are cleaned up and put in
proper shape for the fall. Likewise
will the flower beds and shrubbery
on public grounds receive due atten-
tion before the summer is past.

FOUL MURDER
IN NEW YORK

Special bv United Press Wire.


New York, July 27:-William H.
Jackson, millionaire broker, cashier
of the firm of Van Schaick & Com
pany, Z Wall street, was found dead
in his rooms of the Iroquois hotel at
49 West Forty-fourth street, today.
The body was found in his room on
the tenth floor by the chambermaid.
An effort had evidently been made to
chloroform Mr.. Jackson as he slept
but he awoke and made a brave fight
only to be beaten to death. He was
seventy years old.
All of his pockets had been turned
inside out but the drawers in the
bureau where he kept his valuables
had not been disturbed. For this
reason the police believe the killing
might have been done for revenge.
The authorities believe that the mur-
derer thought he was entering Dis
trict Attorney Whitman's suite,
which Is on the same floor of the ho-
tel. Jackson went to his room last
night about o'clock and was not
seen alive after that.
The chambermaid found the body
of Jackson lying over the side of the
bed. Coroner Winterbottom was
hurried to the scene. He found an
empty bottle which had contained
chloroform, lying In the bath room.
1t was plain that there had been a
desperate struggle. Blood stains all
over the room, and chairs were over
turned. Jackson's pajamas were
torn to shreds. His skull was laid
open by terrific blow. There was
also a deep cash over the right eye
and numerous cuts on the head and
upper portions of the body.
Every available detective in the
city is working on the case. 1t is be-
lieved the murderer entered the
room by going across the roof

FALL AT
A. S. & R. PLANT
Nicholas Langan, of Wood
bridge TumbIed Off Plat
form rs Feet High.
DIED ALMOST INSTANTLY
Working With Other Men Lift
ing Material Struck Head
on Iron Foundation.

While working on a platform
twenty-five feet above the ground,
Nicholas Langan, of Main street,
Woodbridge a machinist employed
at the American Smelling & Rein
ing Company's plant fell and sus-
tained several fractures of the skull
that caused almost instant death
this morning. Langan was working
with two other men on the platform
about one of the buildings at the
American Smelling & Refining Co.
plant. He fell unobserved by his
fellow workers, who first learned of
the accident when his body struck an
iron foundation about twenty-five
feet below the platform they were
on.
The accident happened at 10:45
o'clock, as Langan, with two others,
was on the platform in question try
ing to lift another platform. They
were using a heavy piece of timber
to perform the work and were put
ting their weight on 1t as a means of
giving leverage to lift with. The
others had their backs turned to
Langan. While he was working with
them pressing down on the piece of
timber he suddenly disappeared over
a four-foot railing. The railing was
placed about the platform they were
working on as means of guarding
against accidents.
Langan landed head foremost and
sustained several fractures of the
skull. Coroner Ferd Garretson was
called Immediately after the acct
dent. He made an investigation as
to how it occurred and gave a per-
NIT for the removal Of the body.
Langan was about forty years old.
He is survived by a wife and several
children. Two of his sons are en-
ployed at the American Smelling &
Refining Works.
