FARE FIGHT Up TO
UTILITIES BOARD
Board of Works and Repre-
sentative of Penna. r. R.
Unable to Agree.

After a lengthy discussion between
Richard J. De Long. representing the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, rel
alive to the reduction of the. passen-
ger rate between this city and Sum-
init avenue, Jersey City. without
gaining any Roadway, it was finally
decided to invoke the aid of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission. At present
the rate between the two points is
seventeen cents, with a rebate of two
cents, while the rate between Sum-
NIT avenue and Thirty-third street,
Manhattan, approximately an co !
distance, is only seven cents.
Mr. De Long, who is ticket agent
of the New Jersey division of the
railroad, sought for an hour, without
directly touching the point at issue,
to convince his hearers that a re-
duction was impossible without af-
fecting the entire system. He de-
clared that the line east of Summit
avenue was owned by the Penns-lva
MIA Railroad Company, and that west
Of that point it was owned by the
McAdoo interests. He further con-
tended that If the rate was reduced
from Newark to Summit avenue
passenger could buy ticket to the
latter point and continue to New
York for the cheap fare, inasmuch
as there were no tickets taken from
that point He said that if all pas
sengers were honest such a rule
might be successfully worked.
This statement caused Com
missioner Charles Gillen to remark,
mo; only the railroads are on the
level" In conclusion Mr.. Gillen said:
your explanation is very fine, Mr..
De Long, and as clear as mud. 1t
seems to me that the longer you
explain the less we know Of the en-
tire proposition. This is merely
waste of time

COUNCIL FAVORS
MARKET CHANGES
Two-Story Building Is Favored.
100000 More Is
Needed.

Recommendatio approving the
changes in the plans for the proposed
new Centre Market as outlined by the
legislative conference of city officials
were passed last night by the market
committee of the Common Council
and sent to the committee on public
buildings.
The iron frame work supporting a
one-story building idea has been
abandoned. Instead the building will
be two stories high.
The retail market will be on the
ground floor and the story above will
be used as a loft. which can be used
as offices or partitioned off as desired
to house city officials.
The changed plans will entail an
outlay of 100000 in addition to the
100000 already appropriated.

PUTS ADAM AND EVE
IN THE FAKE CLASS

CHICAGO, Feb. 81. = Professor
William Duncan Mcmillan, of the
University of Chicago. astonished his
class by whacking- Adam and Eve as
fakes.
Biblical chronielers arranged the
story of Adam and Eve from folk
lore to explain the origin of man, ;"
said he.
There can be no doubt that Adam
and Eve and their tempter. the SER
pent, never actually existed. The
story cannot be considerd anything
but a myth; evolved by the ancients
to account for the presence of hui
mans upon earth. The universally
credited theory of evolution smashes
the one man-and- one woman story.
There never was a first man or first
woman"

from his position, and it is presumed
the reason is the trouble Professor
Case had some weeks ago with the
women students of the university
over the wearing of bloomer costumes
in classes.
Protest was filed with the faculty
against Professor Case because he
had forced a young woman in one of
his classes to remove a long coat she
had worn to class. and thus disclose
to the admiring eyes of the members
of the CLASS her particular style in
bloomers.
