swept the paper factory OF Charles NJ.

statement made this afternoon by Di-
rector Porter, of the Department of Pub

An INVESTIGATION made by Director Por-
ter showed that two minutes after the
hte alarm was given Engine Company
No. 20 was upon the scene. and Ave min
utes later water was playing upon the

He further declared that criticism made
BY the assistant manager of the firm,
John III. Myers, was unwarranted. The
high-pressure lines were available from
the first, but were not used because the
magnitude of the fire was not such as
TO Justify the use of these extremely
powerful and destructive streams until

CHARGE OF COLLISION
SUPPORTED BY LETTER
Railroads Tariff Schedule and Com
missions Order Identical.


The last link in the cable of coInCl-
dence between the schedule OF passen
ger tariffs submitted 10 the Interstate
Commerce Commission on December
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
and the order OF the Pennsylvania Pub
llo Service Commission on December IL,
was established this morning by a letter
from the secretary OF tho Interstate Com
merce Commission TO Edwin M. Abbott,
attorney for the commuters.
The letter establishes the fact that the
suggested changes made by the Pennsyl-
vauia Railroad December were Identical
In every particular with the order
OF the Pennsylvania Commission on De-
cember r. In a letter to Mr.. Abbott
early this week the secretary of the
Commission indicated that the two sched-
ules were Identical except In the fact
that the Pennsylvania was willing to re-
establish the l00-trlp tickets to be good
for full year. while the Commission
ordered they should be good for only six
months.
The letter today, however, explains this
Interpretation was incorrect. The inter-
state Commission also brought to light
the remarkable fact that the Pennsyl-
vnnia Railroad In submitting the proposed
increase In tariffs did so with the ex-
planatory statement that II was taking
the action sin Difference to the wishes OF
number of its patrons" The COM
muters today are looking for the patrons
who thought the railroads we're in need
OF contributions.
Mr.. Abbott declared upon receiving the
letter that the last link in the chain Of
evidence ls now at hand The explana-
tion of william n. Trinkle. attorney for
the Commission, that the railroads Sim
ply took a chance In filing their tariffs
eight days in advance of the Commis-
sions order he scored as ridiculous.

P. AND R. COAL AND
IRON OFFICERS SAID
TO Be SUBPOENAED
Rumored Dealers Also Are
Under Service-No Ink
ling of Mature of United
States Probe.

OFFICIALS Of the Philadelphia and Read
| ing Coal and Iron Company are said to
be under subpoena to appear before the
Federal Grand Jury, which his examined
several employees OF the Philadelphia ana
Reading Railway Company. No inkIing
OF the nature OF the investigation under
way has been given out by officials OF
either company.
The Grand Jury has adjourned for the
Christmas holidays, but will reconvene
January l. About 30 employees OF the
railway having access to records of the
company are under subpoena, and service
is said TO have been made on 20 OFFICIALS
OF the coal and iron company
The consensus of opinion Is that inc
present investigation has nothing TO 90
with tho Government suit against tne
Reading started In September lslS'
charging it and other companies with be-
ing a combination In restraint OF trade
Decision In this suit Is expected at any
time
A well-denned rumor is being heard In
coal circlos that dealers also have beeh
called to appear before the Grand jury
Dispatches from washington Intimate the
probe Is into a case OF alleged impersona-
this time would injure the case OF the
Government
High officials OF the Reading refuse
TO discuss the case They intimate they
are In the dark as TO its object. the
United States District Attorney, Francis
Fisher Kane, is said to be the only official
who knows what is under way ana he
will give no information.
Certain facts have been supplied to the
Interstate Commerce Commission by
Ward w. Plerson, who with Harold 3.
Sherts, fought the anthracite coal rate
case. II has been suggested the investi-
CATION has TO do with these facts. 1t Is
pointed out, however. that the two local
attorneys have assisted the Interstate
Commerce Commission in various ways
at different times and the general opin-
ion is that the information recently pro-
vided by them was for use In the general
Investigations into the Reading system.
The order calling on the railroads to
reduce by 40 cents n ton the hard coal
rate from the Pennsylvania fields to this
city Is to be served before the end OF this
week, according to statement by eX-
Governor Samuel w. Pennypacker. The
