WORKS BOARD TO
GET TRANSFERA AND
REROUT|NG PLANS
Public Service Will Submit lm=
portant Subjects for Approval
at Next Conference.

The Public Service Corporation Will
submit its transfer and ferouting
plans to the Board of Works for ap-
proval at a conference next Wednes-
day afternoon. These two problems
were rejected by the Public Utility
Commission on Wednesday last. The
commission referred the entire ter
minal and reroUting agreement be-
tween the Board of Works and the
Public Service back for further con-
sideration.
The Public Utility Commission re-
fused to approve the grants made by
the city to the Public Service on the
ground that the eity's interests were
not properly safeguarded. The utility
commissioners want the so-called
blanket agreement amended and eX-
ecuted before they will approve the
grant.
All the commissioners were present
at a conference yesterday with the
exception of Commissioner Charles
p. Gillen. They all disagreed with
the Utility Boards contention thai
the citys interests We're not properly
safeguarded, as does City Counsel
James r. Nugent. Mr.. Gillen, how
ever, agrees with the Utility Board
that the transfer rights of passengers
should be more clearly defined.
Regarding transfers, John l..
O'Toole, publicity manager for the
Public Service, who. with L. d.
Howard Gilmour, represented the
company at the preliminary confer
ence yesterday, said that the question
of transfers had been thoroughly
threshed out before and that it had
been specifically agreed that the COM
pany would submit a plan within
sixty days of the date of the agree
ment.
The company would be ready to
submit such a plan on Wednesday,
Mr.. O'Toole declared, and he ex-
pressed the belief that the plan would
be satisfactory to all.
With regard to the Utility Boards
contention that the ordinances have
no reference to the agreement itself,
Mr.. Gilmour said the board and COM
pany had arranged the plan in good
faith and that the company was
ready to execute the agreement.
City Counsel Nugent said that II
such had not been the case he would
never have agreed to the contract
Commissioner Biertuempfel asked II
it would be eXpedient to draw up an
ordinance covering the transfer prob
lem, in view of the fact that condi-

SOMMER UPHOLDS
UTILITY BOARDS
VALUATION PLAN
Declares There Can Be Several
True Values to Public Ser
vice Property.

Frank II. Sommer, counsel for the
Public Utility Commission. filed with
the Court of Errors and Appeals to-
day an answer to- fhe brief sub
mltted by Frank Bergen, of the Pub
lie Service Gas Company, contending
that there could not be two TRUE
values of the gas company's prop
erty. The briefs were submitted in
connection with the appeal taken by
the company from the Supreme Court
ruling sustaining the decree of the
Public Utility Commission reducing
the rate for gas in the Passaic dis
trict to ninety cents. The suit is re-
garded as a test case.
Attorney Bergen filed supple
mentary brief declaring that there
could not be two true values" one
for the purpose of taxation and the
other as the basis for rate making.
He also demanded that the Utility
Board value the gas company's fran
chises separately in determining a
rate for the gas.
Mr. Bergen declared that the value
of the franchises should be deter
mined by taking the market value
of the stock and the value of the
debts of the company and deducting
from the total the value of the tan
SlDlc property. L MS result NE cldIItls
would be the true value" of the
franchises. This value. added to the
value of the property of the CON-
pany. was recognized as the true
value" of the company for taxation
purposes, and should therefore, be
taken as true value in fixing
rates, Mr. Bergen maintained.
Mr.. Sommer not only declares that
there can be two true values" but
maintains that there can be as many
true values" as there are purposes
for which the property can be used
He declares that the stock of the COM
pany could be used in figuring its
value for taxation purposes, but not
as a rate making basis, because, he
says, there are numerous assets which
influence the price of the company s
securities and yet are not used direct

HOUSE DEFEATS
SUFFRAGE PLAN

WASHINGTON. Jan. T.-Democrats
of the House rules committee today
refused to report a rule to create \
standing committee on woman SUR
frage in the House.
After a long discussion the Demo-
cratic majority concluded that the
time was not ripe for the creation OF
a separate committee on the subject.
The action comes after long cam
paign of the women suffragists. IN
which the anti-suffrage organization
made "a spirited fight.
Y. omen suffragists from every part
of the country appeared at recent
hearings. and. later, led by DR..
Anna Howard Shaw, visited Presi-
dent Wilson and urged him to ask
Congress in a message to create =
suffrage committee. The President
declined to do So saying he had no
authority to represent the Demo-
cratic party in such matter and
could not transmit his own views in
a message, whatever they might be.
Suffrage leaders here were shocked
at the news of their defeat.
The vote of the Democratic major
ity, which must be submitted to the
entire committee, was four to three.
| Chairman Henry and Representative
Pou. of North Carolina, and Foster.
of Illinois, voted to create a suffrage
committee: Representatives Hard
wick. Georgia; Garret. Tennessee:
Goldfogle, New York, and Cantrin..
Kentucky. voted against it.
The entire rules committee Will
meet Tuesday when proposition
may be made by one of the pro-
suffragists. either on the Democratic
or Republican side. TO report the rule.
Western congressman. including
Representatives Heating and Taylor.
Of Colorado; Baker, of California.
and some Others. are talking Of car
rying the fight 10 the floor of the
House, and a call for a Democratic
caucus to pass on the question is q
possibility.

u. s. Wins DEBATE
ON SEA SAFETY
Friction Routed at Conference
and important Proposals
= Are Acted Upon.

LONDON, Jan. ia compromise
has been reached on the question of
arbitration. which threatened to wreck
the international conference of safety
on sea. 1t is now expected that the
convention will be signed on June 20.
The English delegates have aban-
doned their demand that all disputes
under the convention and all viola
tions of the shipping laws shall be
arbitrated. Under the new arrange
ment disputes as they arise may be
submitted to The Hague by agreement
between both parties
Although this is a victory for the
American point of view, a still great
er one for the American delegates is
the insertion in the convention of a
provision guaranteeing constant
patrol of the ice and derelict zones.
This proposal was brought over by
Senator j. Hamilton Lewis, of Illi-
nois, who said of it today:
while the proposal was mine, our
success in securing its adoption by
the conference was due to Captain
George f. Cooper and Captain w. H.
G. Rullard. of the United States
navy; Captain -Commandant Els
worth P. Bertholf, chief of di-
vision of the revenue cutter service,
and Eugene Tyler Chamberlain, COM
missioner of the bureau of navigation.
When the scheme for putting the cost
on the different steamship lines failed
they obtained the insertion of pro-
vision conceding the control of the ice
and derelict patrol to the United
States, each government signing the
convention paying a share of the cost.
Thus what had formerly cost us $780,
600 will now cost only our share of
that amount

PUBLIC SERVICE
TRYING OUT THE
AUTOMOBILE BUS
Car Being Tested Through City
Streets-May Solve Cross
town Trolley Problem.

The Public Service Corporation is
directing its attention to the automo-
bile "bus" proposition with view, it
is believed, to solving some of the
local passenger transportation.
The first intimation of this was
given in the operation on the streets
of Newark of a large automobile pas
senger bus similar to the ones used
on Fifth avenue, New York. The
machine is being operated by the
Public Service Corporation, but bears
a New York license. On the front of
the car is a large sign which reads,
Fare Five Cents"
The car made its first appearance
in this city yesterday. 1t carried no
passengers, and apparently had no
destination. 1t appeared in various
sections of the city and it was operat-
ing again today.
Public Service officials are unwill-
ing to admit there is any significance
in the operation of the automobile.
John l.. O'Toole. publicity agent of
the corporation, said the purpose of
the experiment was to determine the
exact running expense of such con-
veyance.
"The proposition is simply this, .
said Mr.. O'Toole. There is a con-
cern in New York which builds auto
mobile buses. Naturally they are anx-
ious to sell all the cars possible. Some
time ago they made an effort to in
terest the Public Service Corporation.
They were informed that this COM
pany wasn't interested in anything it
didn't know all about. Then they asked
us if We would try a sample car if
they would send ii over. We told
them they could send over car If
they wanted and we would try it.
We are now trying ii to determine
the exact running expenses of an
automobile of that kind. and that Is
the bus that is seen running around
the city,. He denied that the object
was made with a view to solving the
crosstown, trolley problem and de-
clared the facts in the case were ex-
actly a. hs had stated

The fire did $4,000 damage before
it could be extinguished, but panic
was averted among the girls, who are
mostly Italians and Poles, by the
quick action of e, J. Ryan. chief Of
