LOWER ELECTRIC
RATES DELAYED
Before Deciding Whether They
Are Excessive, Utilities Board
Must Learn It's Budget.

Until the Public Utilities Commits
sion learns how large an appro-
pria ton 1t is to receive from the
State Legislature for this year there
will be no action taken to determine
whether the rates charged by the
Public Service Electric Company for
electric lighting are excessive or not.
This was the decision announced
by the commission at a meeting held
at the Court House today, which was
attended by representatives of twelve
of the 15S municipalities to which the
company furnishes electric service.
The resolution to delay the starting
of the investigation was taken after
all those present had an opportunity
to ar their views and listen to the
reply of President Thomas n. Nc
Carter, of the Public Service Cor
poration.
The Resolution.
The resolution follows:
On account of the magnitude and
expense involved in the investigation
the matter will be laid over until the
appropriation of the present legisla-
tive session are known, which will
necessarily govern the action of the
board in the matter.
In case no adequate funds are ap-
propriated by the Legislature for an
investigation, involving a complete
inventory and appraisal of the Public
Service Electric Company property
in such a district as North Jersey
and in case particularly municipali-
ties press their claims for rate hear
ings, the board will perforce confine
itself of the comparative method of
adjudgipg the reasonableness of rates.
The case will be on the calendar sub
ject to call.
The matter is before the commits
sion on complaint by Mayor An
drew F. Mcbride, of Paterson, the
complaint dating back to about the
time of the filing of the Passaic-Pat-
erson gas complaint two years ago.
They have been held in abeyance
awaiting decision.
At today's meeting, notices of which
had been sent to the mayors of the
1853 municipalities, there were present.

The Utilities Commission had sent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-President
Taft declared to close advisors today
that only one thing could force him
to ask Congress to Intervene ia
Mexico.
II the Madero or Diaz forces should
turn upon Americans merely because
they are Americans or foreigners. Mr..
Taft let it be known that he would
rush a special message to Congress
in thirty minutes time. He does not
regard the killing of few Americans
in the course Of the battle as a cause
for war. but looks upon such casual
ties as unavoidable and believes that
the proper authorities should be held
liable for damages

A Queer New Test for
MENTAL DEFICIENCY

f you arc able 10 Judge accurately which of
two weights in the heavier you are ment
ally deficient. according to Dr. Demoor
a Belgian physician and scientist
DR.. Demoor doesn't go quite as far as to
declare this is an infallible rule and you may
possess this ability without being, perforcc,
weak minded. but in a series Of experiments
made by this doctor those who guessed cor
recently which Of two objects was heavier
were known to be weak.minded while those
who made errors in their guesses were all
normal.
One experiment along this line Of consider
able interest was carried on by DR.. Demoor
among $50 children whose ages varied from
six TO fifteen years. For this the doctor pre-
pared two bottles by covering them with
black paper. These bottles were of different
size which could be told at a glance, but iii
each bottle the doctor put a heavy mineral
until both the large and the small bottle
had exactly the same weight The black
covering prevented tho children from seeing
the equal amount of mineral in each bottle.

The bottle test was by no means the only
