FIGHT LACkAWANNA RATES
ON MORRIST0WN & ERIE
Public Utilities Commission Hears
Complaint of Raise in Freight
Rates by Several Roads.

Preliminary testimony was taken
before Winthrop NJ. Daniels, of the
board of public utility commission,
in the hearing instituted to deter
mine whether the Lackawanna and
other railroads should be compelled
permanently to suspend the opera
tions of the new freight rates as
against the Morristown and Erie rail
road. Two witnesses were examined.
after which the hearing was ad-
journed to Friday, June goth, when
it will be resumed at Jersey City.
The complaint against the defend
ant railroads was preferred by the
Morrstown and Erie railroad and by
several shippers over this line, and
was based upon the action of the
Lackawanna and other roads in
abandoning the through rates which
had previously existed for shipments
made over the Morristown and Erie.
The first witness examined was
Jordan Morgan, president of the Nor
ris Sand company, who insisted that
the advanced rates which the COM
panies had sought to put into effect
were unjust and unreasonable and
would seriously cripple industries
along the line of the Morristown and
Erie. He said it had been disclosed
that the real reason for the sus-
pension of rates by other railroads
was a dispute between the various
carriers as to the division of re-
ceipts and the adjustment of demur-
rage charges.
President R. w. McEwan, of the
Morristown and Erie, gave testimony
showing in detail the various rates
that had been abrogated by the Lack
awanna and other defendants and
showed specifically what would be the
effect of the action, should it be sus-
tanned. 1t developed at the hearing
that the complainants, in addition to
seeking the permanent restoration OF
the old rates, will ask for an adjust
ment in some particular classes of
freight where discrimination is now
alleged to exist.
The Lackawanna was represented
at the hearing by John L. Seager;
the Morristown and Erie by Edwin o.
Stanley, and the Morris Sand COM
pany by Benjamin F. Jones.

NEGRO JUMPED FROM TRAIN.
But His Identity Is Mystery and
