O'Clock this Afternoon
SpeofaI BY United Press Wire.

Berlin, May 24.-In the stuffy lit
tie chapel Of the Royal palace at
Potsdsm. where there are no seats
and not more than $50 can well stand
without crowding, Luise Adelheid

of the Kaiser of Germany and Repre-
sentative of the House of Hohen

ing, following a quiet civil ceremony
in one of the private rooms of the
palace. Thus will end a fued Of
fifty years between the august
houses of Hohenzollern, Guelph and
Hanover, with the ancient throne
of Hanover as the bone of contention.
BY the union the contested throne
Is eliminated and cupid scores again
as the master diplomat. While the
Princess has been referred to as a
pawn in the game of politics, !"
more than once, there are few if any
who do not believe today's royal
wedding the cementing of a true love
match. The little princess and the
youthful prince met some time ago
and fell In love with each other be-
fore the astute kaiser or the calculat-
ing duke of Cumberland hSd even
contemplated such a thing.
The marriage will be witnessed by
Kaiser Wilhelm II. of Germ any, King
George V. Of England and Gar Me
holas of Russia standing standing in
a group with the kaiserin and queen
nearby, perhaps the most notable
gathering of royalty that Europe has
seen in generations. the three great
est powers of the old world being to-
gether. The floor of the chapel Is
covered with heavy red carpet and
from the entrance a strip OF purple
fore the altar, on which the royal
pair will stand to take their nuptial
vows. The chapel boasts of no seats
and all within it must stand.
After the Princess leaves the room
where the civil marriage Is to occur
she will step into a tiny apartment
where the crown CT her new rank
will be placed upon her head by Her
man Scultz, who has been court hair
dresser for forty years. Two dull
thuds OF the court marshal staff will
announce the approach of the bridal
pair. First will appear two heralds
and close behind them Count zu Eul-
enberg, high court marshal, with his
enormous staff of officers, Prince
Ernst in the brilliant uniform of his
regiment, the ZeIthen Hussars, fol-
lowed. walking by the side Of Prin-
cess Victoria Luise.

NOT HIS OWN
Michael Pucz is Arrested
Pays S9.83 Costs

Following the efforts Of the State
Bottlers' Association to discourage
the old and familiar practice of many
milk dealers to cop" all the milk
bottles that they find empty at the
houses of customers, regardless of
their marks of ownership, Michael
Pucz, milk dealer Of 306 Neville
street, was summoned the other day
on a warrant sworn to by the bot
tiers organization, which charged
him with taking bottles belonging to
other dealers.

tice of the Peace William O'Hara,
and when Mr.. Pucz was arraigned he
was fined the cost Of court and given
a severe lecture accompanied by a
warning to sin no more by the mag
istrate. Jacob Rosenthal appeared
against the defendant and stated
that he had caught him several times
taking bottles that belonged to other
dealers. The costs that Mr.. Pucz had
to pay amounted to 1888.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad Com

petition for the elimination Of grade

site the United Lead Works, thereby

that the Western improvement AS
ISOLATION would do all In their pow
er to gain the right of franchise
for the companies to double track
State and Smith streets II they would
in turn grant them this loop In the
trolley service through the north
western section OF the city. He also
called the officials attention to the
fact that II the companies would
place the trolleys convenlsnt to those
who desire to use them that they
could reduce the cost OF operation
by the additional fares collected.

northwestern section Of the city,
many Of whom are employed in fac

Special to me EVENING NEWS.

'
Trenton, May 24:-The State
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers today handed down a decision
giving the City of Perth Amboy a
victory against the Public Service
Railway Company in the controversy
over the question of free transporta-
ton over the trolley lines of the
company in the city of the policemen
and paid fremen. The State Board
decides that under the provisions of
the ordinances of Perth Amboy the
Public Service Railway Company is
required to permit all policemen and
paid firemen while on duty to ride
free of charge within the city limits.
Such free transportation must be
given even though the officer or paid
fireman may not be in uniform. the
only test being that they must be on
duty.
The State Board denies the con-
tention of the city that its police
officers are In effect always on duty,
as they are required to make arrests
at any time and, therefore, should
be given free transportation at all
times. The board holds that a police
ION duty" when he has returned
home, and unless again recalled to
special duty, is not entitled to free
carriage thereafter that day.
The board has entered an order in
accordance with its finding, to take
effect June ~, next.
The city filed it's petition and
based its claim upon certain ordi-
nances granted by it giving fran
chises to the Public Service Corpora
tion, which ordinances were accepted
by the corporation, and We're passed
on to its successor, the Public Ser
vice Railway Company. These ordi-
nances provided that "all policemen
and paid firemen while on duty shall
be permitted to ride on the cars of
the said companies, it's lessees OIL
assigns, free of all charge"
The Public Service Railway Com
pany. admitted the franchise provi
sions, and the acceptance thereof
but contended that the obligation haC
been modified by the subsequent
legislation creating the old State
Board of Railroad Commissioners
and the present State Board of Pub
lie Utility Commissioners. The Pub.
lie Utility act prohibits any discrim.
ination, gratuity or free service tC
local, municipal or county officials.
The ruling of the Utility Commits.
sion is that the provisions of the
laws referred to do not abrogate any
right which a municipality has OBJ
tained by contractural provision
incorporated in a franchise, 50 far as
the right rebounds primarily to the
corporate advantage of the munich
pality, and only indirectly, or not al
all, to the private or individual ad-
vantage of the particular officials
affected. In its opinion, the State
Board says, in part:
THE free carriage that the board
finds lawful Is such as shall not in
volve unlawful discrimination, sucl
as shall not be accorded arbitraril!
TO some entitled thereto and denied
to others equally entitled thereto. I
appears from the evidence submitted
that policemen of Perth Amboy may
be on duty while not in uniform. l
in this case they are denied free car
riage, the company fails to observe
the obligations Of the ordinances il
question"

CROSS DISPLAYS
CLASS IN BATTLE
Bud Anderson Never Has
Chance With the Foxy
New York Boy.


LOS ANGELES. Cal. July 5.-With
a right swing to the jaw, Leach
Cross, the New York lightweight,
knocked out Bud Anderson, of Ore
gon. yesterday in the twelfth round
Of what was to have been a twenty
round battle at Vernon arena. The
blow landed with terrific force and
Anderson was unconscious for more
than four minutes.
The oregon boy had been a favorite.
When he went down he struck with
a thud and his inertness as he lay in
the ring silenced the usual plaudits
for the winner. The crowd feared he
was dead. Cross, instead of retiring
from the ring, bent anxiously over his
PROSTATE adversary and when Ander-
son finally rallied, the vanquished
pugillst was helped to his corner by
the victor. Anderson was so weak
that he was carried to his dressing
room.
Cross had the better of the fight
all the way. In the second round he
sent the Oregon boxer sprawling upon
his back. In the succeeding rounds
the New Yorker punished Anderson
severely, while avoiding nearly every
blow the oregon boy aimed at him.
Anderson's face and body were
pounded numerically and in the
fourth round a short jab delivered by
the dentist relieved him of tooth.
