We sent out one hundred or more
Easter Appeals and received Just sever

else to turn to. Since Christmas the
drain on us has been something terri.
BILE. We have visited families and
could not turn away from the eyes of
pleading, hungry children. One family
we saved from starvation. The father
was laid aside with a poisoned foot
and the mother bravely struggling with
four helpless children, the oldest six
years old.
Ihls Is one or many cases, and II we
held back from helping these families
we would be better off to-day financial
ly.
Can you help us to the extent of one
dollarf 1t will greatly ease our bur
den, and we feel you will not miss the
money. We have actually fed, clothed
and helped three or four hundred OIL
more people within the last si1
months.
Very sincerely yours,

A HEARING ON
SCHOOL TICKET
Utility Commission Will Sit
In Newark Wednesday.
Especial Correspondence,)

Trenton, May 8:-With the Public
Service Corporation seeking to get a
ruling from the courts relative to the
reduced fare for school children, and
the members Of the Public Utility
Commission arranging for a hear
ing at Newark on Wednesday, 1t is
believed It will be determined at an
early date whether or not the three
cent fare Is contrary to the laws.
Meanwhile, Nelson B. Gaskill, the as
sistant attorney general, is looking
up the law, and 1t Is possible that he
may render his opinion tomorrow or
Wednesday so that the Public Utility
Commission will be fully informed
relative to the matters at issue.
There seems to be q difference of
opinion among the counsel as to the
jurisdiction in the matter. Frank
Bergen, a lawyer representing the
Public Service Corporation, believes
that the matter should come under
the jurisdiction of the Judiciary.
Frank H. Sommer, of Newark, a
former member of the Commission,
who is expected to be its counsel,
contends that the Commission has
ample jurisdiction and power under
the new public utilities act.
The writ of certiorari granted by
Chief Justice Gummere does not af-
feet the order of the Public Utility
Commission for the resumption Of
the sale of the reduced fare school
tickets, as a stay of execution was
disallowed. The order is returnable
May 16, and it will receive early con-
sideration by the Supreme Court.
In the meantime the Public Utility
COM ri fSrfon, &c fp cxpccocay wfft~ruurc
