LAWYER DUMMY
Tells Coal Freight Rate Probers
Lighterage Company Is
Roads Creature.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 1.-THE
first hearing In the investigation insti-
tuted by the Interstate Commerce
tises of the hard coal carrying rail-
roads was held here today before
Commissioner John II. Marble.
The commission seems chiefly TO de-
termine whether the railroads have
been strictly observing the interstate
commerce laws, whether their freight
rates on coal are reasonable and
whether there exists a community of
interest among them that is detrimen-
tai to the independent shipper and
the public In general.
The investigation consequently
promises to be the most sweeping ever
conducted by any government agency
into the affairs of the anthracite rail-
roads.
The witnesses under subpoena to
testify today were officials of the Cen
trail Railroad of New Jersey, but it
was expected that the fore part of the
session would be occupied by the. in
PRODUCTION of documentary evidence,
including a mass of official CORE
spondence subpoenaed from files of
the railroads involved.
Silas H. Smith, of counsel for the
commission, announced at the outset
of the hearing that the operating de-
partments of the railroads involved
would be first investigated, with a
view to bringing out the service rem
dered on the handling of coal from
ha mir IN fha D1arlxpf
agreed that the documentary evil
dence be put into the record without
reading at this time.
Commissioner Marble announced
that several independent shippers had
entered informal complaints, and that
the Plymouth Coal Company, q COM
petitor of the Delaware, Backawanna
and Western Coal Company, had
asked to intervene formally with the
privilege of cross examining wit
nesses. This. the commissioner said
would be permitted.
Edward 70. Kerwin, division super
intendent of the, Central railroad of
New Jersey, was the first witness
He produced operating schedules In
connection with the transportation of
coal on the Jersey Central.
Kerwin was questioned in regard
to the handling of cement, lumber
and other commodities at the tide
water terminals of the road and was
requested to produce q table of the
labor cost of handling freight at
these terminals. This information
was desired by the commission for
purpose of comparing the cost of the
handling of coal with that of other
| commodities as a basis for deter
mining whether rates on coal are
relatively high.
The witness described the methods
of Tightening freight at the tide
water terminals. New York harbor.
He said that much of it was handled
| by the Manhattan Lighterage Com
| pany.

plication of former City Clerk John
Morris for writ of certiorari to re-
view the action of the Board of City
Commissioners in taking Fire Captain
John Sweeney from the retired list

ment at his former full pay of $50
a month was considered favorably by
Supreme Court Justice Francis J.
Swayze here Saturday and the writ
will issue. Argument upon it will be
heard on a day early next month to

John Bentley, who appeared for the
commissioners. told the court that
Captain Sweeney had applied for re-
instatement himself. and that the city
would be the gamer by paying the
cabtain full pay and getting his SER
vices instead of paying him his PEN
sion of s65 and getting no service

Captain Sweeney is one of the

LIQUOR R|GHTSF0R
DOWNTOWN CLUB
License Is Granted to the Or
ganization by Judge
Martin.

Judge William P. Martin in Com
mon Pleas Court today granted per-
mission to the Down Town Club,
located on the twelfth floor of the
Kinney building to sell liquor to it's
members.
The license or permission was given
under the social club" act which
was passed in 1891 Objection had
been made to the granting of the
license on the ground that the club
rooms We're within 200 feet of prop
erty occupied by church
Judge Martin In his opinion, which
follows. entertains the view that the
proximity of the church does not ap-
ply under the social club act.
The opinion follows:
There is an application for a per-
NIT under the social club act of 1891.
1t has been suggested to the court
that the court may not have jurisdic-
ton to grant the license because of
the provisions of the Werts act, Sec
ton II, as amended by the bishops
bill. which prohibits the granting of
license within 200 feet of a lot or
curtilage of church edifice.
THE inn and tavern act was en-
acted in 1916, and deals generally
with licenses to inns and taverns. The
malt liquor act was passed later,
and deals with licenses to saloons. In
1888 the general act was passed by
the Legislature, and repealed by the
Werts act of 1899.
At this time, theregore, there were
two special acts relating to inns and
taverns and all liquor license, and
the general act regulative of both re-
tail and wholesale licenses, called the
| Werts act.
I'm 1891 the social club permit act
was passed. This provided for grant
| ing licenses to social clubs. None OF
the provisions of the other three acts
related TO social clubs. In 1905 the
Legislature enacted an. amendment ia
section II of the Werts bill providing
that no new place shall be licensed
within 200 feet of the curtilege of a
church edifice.
| in 1906. by the bishops bill, it was
| provided by way of amendment tc
section II that clubs should not be re.
| quired to transact business on the
ground floor on a public street.
IF the contention is that by the
enactment of 1906 social clubs arr
brought within the provisions of the
Werts act. there does not seem TO b'
any statement to substantiate tn,
claim. The social club is permitted I,
sell at wholesale, and section IL onl,
deals with the sale of liquors in guam
titles less than one quart.
ut is also suggested that the act o
1918 may refer to clubs not having ;
whole building, but plainly tn
amendment to the social club act o
1918 indicates the intention of tn
Legislature not to include floors occu
plying 5000 square feet, within the pro
visions OF the supplement to tn
Werts act, on page 562 Of that act.
