The burden Of taxation alone notwithstanding

For the present fiscal year Oh the basis Of assess

Under the circumstances, a readjustment Of
/. rates has. therefore. become necessary.
The tunnel lines between Jersey City. Hoboken

mel lines to downtown New York. 1t seems, there
fore. reasonable and logical that. in a readjustmcnt

For these reasons. it has been decided toincrcase

The rate from Summit Avenue Station (wheu
opened) to Sptopn New York. will be Z cents and
to doWnsoWn New York 8 cents. This is 0 cents
less than the existing rate by ferry and troIleys
from Summit Avenue to uptoWs New York. and
Scents less. to doVntopn New York.
The present rate Of 8 cents between local sta
tons in New Jersey and between local stations
in New York will be maintained.
With this increase in the uptown rate to 7 cents.
and with the new service put into operation be.

the Company's integrity. The Company is GER
taRly entitled to and must have . living rate of
fare.
1t should be remembered that the New York
City Subway. a far less costly and difficult under
taking. was financed with the credit Of the City Of
New York. at low rates Of interest. and is exempt
from taxation. The Hudson Tunnels, on the other
hand. have been financed by private capital, at
higher rates Of interest. and with no exemption
from taxation. This great system, with all Of its
hasards and risks. has received no financial aid
from the State or Municipal governments on
either side Of the HudRon River.
We submit the facts with the hope that the just
ness Of the company's position will be recognized,
and with the belief that the public is willing to
support an enterprise that has been consistently
managed from the beginning in the public interest.
The Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Co. is
now and has always been independent. No rail-
road company in New Jersey or elsewhere has ever
had any financial interest in this company or any
voice in its management.

BIG SALE FOR
. TACOMA BOOK

That the second edition of
John H. Williams book, 1.-The
Mountain That Was God" is sell
ing fast and is being grabbed up
by tourists and visitors to the city
is the report from the book sellers.
When Mr.. Williams revised his
famous description of Mt. Tacoma,
he added about so new pictures,
each of them a Photographic tri-
umph. AS 1t stands now, the
book furnishes all the information
wanted by people contemplating
a trip to the mountain, as well as
a permanent souvenir afterward.
The book men figure that the
book is doing good work toward
advertising Tacoma by being scat
tered over the country as a souve-
mir book.

ENGINEER HELD FOR =
HIS WIFE'S DEATH
Woman Found With Towel and Pill
low Case Around Neck.

White Plains. n. Y, June 15.-Will-
lam Simon, a night engineer on the
New York Central was arrested to-
day after his last nights run between
New York and Albany, and locked
up, pending an investigation Of the
alleged murder of his wife.
The woman was found dead in bed
today by her little six years old
daughter. who brought the neishbors
to investigate. A towel and pillow
case were tightly bound around the
won1ans neck and tied in the back.
1t was the coroner's opinion that she
had been strangled to death and not
by herself. a there were marks of
violence on the body indicating a
struggle with some assailant. Simon
left here at 1875 o'clock last night
and is understood TO have made his
regular midnight run as engineer of
the New York Central train from New
York to Albany. He denied that he
had any knowledge of his wife's
death.
Mrs. Simon was found with her ros-
airy c1asped in her hand and the po
lice theory is that she was kneeltng
at her bedside when the assailant ap-
preached from behind, caught her
with the towel about her neck and
tied it tightly reinforcing it later
with the pillow slip.
When Simon was taken to the
morgue to view his wife's body to-
night, he is said to have shown no
emotion. His father is blacksmith

refused TO respond Suddenly II
swooped downward and the aviator
lost all control. 1t fell into q ravine
and was wrecked.
Helmet Saved His Life.
That Frey was not killed was due
to the heavy helmet protecting his
head and the marshy condition of the
ground into which he plunged Both
his arms and one leg were broken,

face. When a Red Cross searching
