Passenger Rate
To Be Increased

Under date Of August 81 the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. issued
the following:
The Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
today filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission the neces-
sary notices providing that begin
ming October l, the charge for open
and interchangeable mileage books
shall be at the rate Of 2 IA cents
per mile instead Of 2 cents, as here
tofore. This increase is made to
carry out the suggestion of the In
terstate Commerce Commission
that additional revenue demand
ed as the commission says, "in
the interest of both the general
public and the railroads." should
be obtained by carriers in Trunk
Line territory by other than in
creases in freight rates. In it's de-
cision in the 5 per cent advance
rate case the commission found it
to be a fact that there had been a
very general and substantial in
crease in railroad expenses, the
commission saying: "It is probable,
in the case of every railroad show
ing a largely-increased operating
ratio, that the increased ratio is
due, in a large measure, to its pas
senger service
The public is wei laware that al
though there has been no increase
in passenger rates, there has for
many years past been a constant
improvement in passenger service.
1t is evident that very large ex-
peditures have been made neceh
sary to provide the steel cars, i'm
proved stations, automatic signals,
and other features which have ad-
ded so pronouncedly to the comfort
safety and convenience of passen-
gers.
AS the commission has now de-
clared it to be a matter of public
policy that each branch of the rail
road "service should contribute its
proper share to the cost Of opera
ton and of return to the cost of op-
Grafton and Of return upon the
property devoted to the uses of the
public, the Pennsylvania Railroad
also intends to make certain other
readjustments in passenger rates
There will be announced later.
The purpose will be both to EN-.
body the policy established by the
commission and so spread the
changes in fares that the burden
will fall but lightly on any single
traveller.

FIELD CLUB WINS GREAT
GAME

Although the official schedule of
the Mar League ended the
last Saturday in August, the cham
pion Appleton and Newark Field
Club teams played off a postponed
game here on Saturday which was
counted in the official games. While
defeated the game made no differ
ence in the standing of the Apple
ton Club.
The game was one Of the best of
the season and won by Newark
by the score of 2 to l. For five inn
ings neither team scored but in the
sixth Newark got two runs across
which was enough t OWN. Apple
ton scored one in the seventh. Tt
was a pitchers battle between
Lovett and Work. Lovett allowed
three hits and Work but two. The
score follows:

The Second Term
For President Wilson

The people Of the United States
not the Democratic party, Will de-
eide whether President Wilson IS
70 be given a second term, but his
denomination is so safely within
the probabilities that the Vice
Presidents statement that the
President will be candidate to
succeed himself will be concurred
in everywhere. Indeed, If any
Chief Executive deserved renom-
ination by his party, Mr.. Wilson
certainly has done so. He has man
aged with superlative skill to keep
the turbulent elements Of the Dem
ocracy in check, and has brought
about unity of action and reso-
lutte defniteness Of purpose total
ly unexpected by all familiar with
the history Of the vagaries and &C.
centricities Of Democratic majori-
ties in the past. Moreover, the Pres
ident has won public confidence to
remarkable degree. The Public
Ledger, with perhaps the majority
has not felt that his policies were
always the wisest and most pru-
dent, but his sincerity was never
doubted, and his staunch adherence
to what he believed to be right has
struck responsive chord in the
hearts of the nation.
Talk of second term for Presi-
dent Wilson invariably and inevi-
tably brings TO public recollection
the plank of the Democratic plat
form of 1912, which reads:
We favor a single Presidential
term, and to that end urge the
adoption Of an amendment to the
! Constitution making the President
of the United States ineligible to
recollection, and We pledge the can
didate of this convention to this
principle.
This plank, it will be recalled,
was not inserted at the instance of
Mr.. Wilson, and while his accept
ance was not given with the ex-
plicitness of Mr.. Roosevelt's de-
termination "under no c1rcum-
stances to be again a candidate,
the Presidents s future course will
be governed by no splitting of
hairs nor by casuistical interpret
ations. If he again becomes a can
didate it will be because Of chang
ed conditions, and will merely
serve to illustrate anew the limita-
tions that inevitably surround the
inviolability. of platform declara'
tions. 1t might plausibly be urged
that until the constitutional
amendment regarding the Presi
Dental term is an accomplished
fact, it would be unfair to bind on,
party 10 the observance of a prin
ciple so one sided. The history O.
the United States furnishes mor'
than one instance where a Presi
Dental course was taken in dia
metrical opposition to repeated de
clarations and recommendations t.

Russian Capital
Changes Name

A dispatch dated September 1st,
from ST. Petersburg, states that by
imperial order, the city of st. Pet
ersburg, capital of the Russian En-
pire since 1712, will henceforth be
known as Petrograd. This change
eliminates the Teuton construction
in the name by which the chief city
Of Russia has been known since it
was founded by Peter the Great in
17O3. All later dispatches are

TRI-COUNTY SEASON ENDS

The Tri-County League season
was brought to close on Saturday
when Newark proved easy picking
for Oxford in the final game, Elk
Mills defeated Elkton and Rising
Sun won from West End.
The season was not very sue
cessful one and a number Of the
clubs lost money. Newark set such
fast pace that it was practically
assured of the pennant early I'M
July. This left the feature of the
race for second place which was
won by Elk Mills although that
team would have been tied with
Elkton for second honors but for
the action of President Kay in
throwing out the game that New
ark defeated Elk Mills here some
weeks ago. There was one change
in the makeup of the league during
the season, Aberdeen dropping out
the latter part of July. West End
took the place of Aberdeen.
It is the opinion OF many fans
that this will be an end of the Tri-
County League especially as or
ganized but by next spring when
the time arrives to make plans for
another season there may be diff
ferent feeling about the matter.
NEWARK EASY FOR OXFORD
With Hogan out Of the box New
ark was an easy proposition for
Oxford on Saturday, the Pennsyl-
vania boys winning by the score of
Is to 4. Whiteman started the
box work but the Iron Hill boy
could not get. his curves breaking
right and was pounded all over the
lot. Grey and Billy Jackson, then
took up the burden in turn but
could not stop the Oxford team
from hitting and consequently 16
runs were made.
Smith pitched steady ball for
Oxford and although touched UP
for nine hits he did not have to ex
ert himself, his team having such &
lead. The score follows:

example, advocated the principle

No Longer Rings in Navy,

WASHINGTON, July mo more

The navy went dry today.
Secretary Daniels's orders against
the officers wine mess, the use of any
alcoholic beverage aboard battleships
or in land stations or officers clubs
ashore were clamped on today. Con-
sequently there was gloom in navy
circles today. They felt the new or
der might be hardship sometimes,
and besides it swept away a time
honored custom. 1t means practically
total abstinence for navy officers and
men, at least while on cruise.
The order is so sweeping that an Of
ficer ashore cannot have any liquor,
provided he maintains residence in
q naval reservation. Commanding Of
ffcers are made personally responsible
for enforcement of the order.
Secretary Daniels's dry order was
promulgated some time ago on rec
onrflendation of Surgeon General
BREASTED. who felt that liquor aboard
ships was not conducive to the high
standard set by the administration.
The secretary's early Investigations of
the navy surprised him, for he found
that officers were allowed to buy light
wines in the wine mess and serve 1t
with dinners. Likewise, his friend

an ardent temperance devotee, Is be-
lieved to have figured in his dry navy
decision.

HAMMONDSPORT, N. Y. July /.
Preliminary tests of the Rodman
Wanamaker transatlantic flyer were
virtually completed last night. when
Lieutenant Porte and Glenn III. Cur
tlss announced themselves satisfied
that the America will rise from the
ocean with the full load of fuel and
supplies required for the flight to the
Azores islands. The useful load
carried yesterday Appropriated 300
pounds, and the machine got out Of
the water with this extra weight
without difficulty.
Some flights may be made today
with the special propellers made for
the machine in Buffalo, These are
expected to add about 800 pounds to
the lifting power of the motors. After
those trials the temporary hydro
bSards, which have been added this
week to the hull, will be removed and
replaced by permanent addition to
the hull which Mr.. Curtiss says will
be smoother. more substantial and
more efficient than the present hastily
constructed affairs.
Lieutenant Porte will leave here to-
night for New York and will sail Fri
day on the Red Cross line steamer for
Newfoundland The America will be
overhauled at the Curtiss factory and
shipped from New York on July II.
The actual fight will be started about
July 20.
The last trial was made at 9 O'Clock
last night by the aid of a little light
from a half moon. She carried no
lights and could not be seen thirty
feet from shore. Nothing but the in
eessant purr told those on shore that
she was skimming the surface of
Lake Keuka at sixty miles an hour
we can get off the water now with
enough fuel and accessories for. a
twenty hour flight" Mr.. Curtiss said
after the flights. THAT is what we
have been aiming for. Ifwon't say
that she is doing now all we want her
to do. She will do more before we
are through with her, but future
changes will merely be taking her
back to the factory and perfecting
what we have already put on. The
trials last night were very satisfac-

Upbuilding of U. S. Navy
Hampered by Politics,
Asserts German Annual

BERLIN, July 1.-The Nauticus,
Germany's official marine annual,
which has just been issued, in re-
view OF foreign fleets, declares that
the upbuilding of the United States
navy has been hampered by lack of
a definite program. AS. consequence.
the Nauticus adds, questions of the
country's defense. which should stand
outside parliamentary contentious,
have been drawn into party politics
and the opportunities for advancement
of young marine officers made so I'M
promising at present that an entire
change in personnel appears unavoid-
able.
The Nauticus declares that the
Mexican troubles have 1ampereds the
proper training of officers and men
of the Atlantic and Pacific fleets
The past year, the Nauticus says,
was most favorable for Germany's
marine interests, and the opening of
the Panama canal will find Germany
ready to take advantage of the new
route without any subsidy, whereas,
the annual asserts, the Italians and
Franch consider themselves unable to
use the canal without state help.
