Ordered OnLines with
Six or More Parties
By the Public
Commission
Companies Affected Say VIII
Wipe Oui Net Revenue

Brattleboro, VT, March ia reduc-
ton in the rates of 1000 telephone sub
scribers in Vermont is ordered in the
report of the Public Service Commits
sion made public tonight, with one
member dissenting. The average re-
duction is little less than IS year,
and affects only those lines ON which
there are six or more parties. The
commission is of the opinion that the
toll rates ARE reasonable and should
not be disturbed
The report says the order is to be-
come effective within 80 days and ap-
plies to the New England Telephone
& Telegraph Co, three of its subsid-
iaries, the Vermont Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. of Montpelier: the Franklin
County Telephone Co., of st. Adams;
the Champlain Valley Telephone Co.
of Branden; and one independent COM
pany, the Spring Local Telephone Co.
of Springfield.
The company may appeal to the
supreme court or bring bill in equity
in the federal court to prevent the
carrying out Of the order
The report is signed by Chairman
Bacon Of Brattleboro and Park H.
Holland of Chester. The dissenting
member is William r. Warner of YER
gennes, who says:
"Basing my judgment wholly on the
evidence introduced at this hearing, 1t
is my opinion that cause has been
shown why there should not be any
reduction at the present time"
The hearings began in Montpelier
Sept. 80 and were ordered as a result
of a report made to Governor Allen
M. Fletcher on July Is, 1913, by spe-
cial commission appointed by him.
This commission recommended a re-
.duction Of 20 per cent. in rates.

Determined Course of
Senate Sub=C0m=
mittee==MeaSure
Proposed
Holds Broader Powers Than in
The New House Bill

Washington, March 16.-One trust regu-
lation bill, instead of several as orig
inally proposed, has been determined
upon by the Senate subcommittee on in
terstate commerce as the policy the adj
miniStration should adopt in perfecting
proposed legislation to supplement the
Sherman law. This announcement was
made today after the introduction in the
House of the revised bill to create an in
terstate trade commission a bill over
which conflict of opinion has developed
among Democratic leaders.
Although the new House bill has the
approval of President Wilson and Attor-
ney General McReynolds. members of the
Senate committee on interstate commerce
did not hesitate to assert today that they
had completed a measure to create a
trade commission with broader powers,
and that they would urge the acceptance
OF the principles of their bill in any leg
islation to provide for trade commits
sion.
The Senate bill, it was stated, would
empower the proposed commission to in
stitute Investigations on it's own ini.ia-
tive as to whether corporations operate
in violation of the Sherman act and its
champions declare that elimination of the
initiative in the House bill would rob the
proposed commission of effectiveness.
"A trade commission which could I'M
dertake no investigation except by d.
recton OF the President or attorney gen
eral or either House of Congress, as the
bill proposes, will be of little Value said
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, mem
Der of the interstate commerce committee,
today IF the proposed commission is
to have no more authority than that. why
have one? The bureau of corporations as
now constituted is capable of carrying
on such Investigations very WELL"

One Inspector Holds
Nantucket Captain
Guilty; Other the
Opposite
Leaves Peculiar TangIe--Next
Step Is Uncertain

Philadelphia, March 1.-THE two
United States local inspectors of steam
vessels who investigated the disaster
off the Virginia coast, January 3d. in
which the steamship Nantucket ram
med the steamer Monroe, causing the
loss of Al lives, rendered a divided
opinion today, one holding the cap
tain of the Nantucket guilty of negli-
gence and the other charging the
commander of the Monroe with re-
sponsibility for the disaster.
The report of the investigation and
the two decisions were forwarded to
Henry M. Seeley, supervising inspec-
tor at New York. 1t is not known here
what the next step in the case will be
but it is believed the supervising in-
commerce at Washington before max
ing any further move.
The local inspectors who investigat-
ed the collision are Capt. r. A. Sar-
gent, inspector of hulls, and ID. w.
Howard, inspector of boilers. The de-
partment of commerce designated
them to investigate the charges
against Osmyn Berry, captain of the
Nantucket, brought by the local in
spectors at Norfolk after a preliminary
examination The charges against
Capt Berry included negligence in not
reducing the speed of his vessel in a
fog and with neglecting to ascertain
through the wireless operator the
proximity of other vessels. No charges
We're brought against Capt. Edward r..

President Keeps Out

1t became more than ever apparent
today that only an agreement between
the railroad and the department can
keep the case out of the courts. Sem
ator Weeks called at the White House.
and speaking in plain language about
the financial effect of delay. urged
President Wilson to interfere to bring
about quick settlement. Later it was
made known that the President would
not interfere.
The New Haven has consented to
give up its steamship lines and has
consented to trusteeships for the Bos-
ton & Maine Railroad and it's trolley
holdings in Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land and Connecticut. 1t became known
tonight that the railroad officials at
the last conference at the department
agreed that if the department would
select trustees to take over the Rhode
Island and Connecticut trolley prop
critics from a list of names submitted
by the New Haven, the system would
give up these lines and make no de-
mands as to the length of their trus-
tees service. Messrs. Gregory and Ad-
lSins then left for New England and
are expected to return to Washington
with their report in time TO partici-
pate in the next scheduled conference
here Friday If they advise acceptance
of trustees from the list submitted, it
is probable that all other difficulties
will be swept aside and that the at
torney general will be able to announce
a compete agreement as soon as few
other details are disposed Of
1t is known that Attorney General Nc
Reynolds has considered the Connecticut
trolley phase of the case as one of the
utmost difficulty The New Haven until
the last argued strongly against parting
with them on the ground that they are
merely feeders TO the New Haven and
for all practical purposes are continual
lions of the steam system into the inte-
rior of the state.
Other Difficult Point.
The only other point that has proved
eikcult has been the question of the
length of the Boston & Maine trustee
shin. The department has demanded not
more than two years. the road has asked
for not less than two and half 1t was
understood tonight that a compromise on
the time for this trusteeship, with pro-
vision for an extension by the proper
court is likely 10 follow clearing up Of
the trolley phase.
With these two points out of the way
an agreement will be near. 1t is known
that the ratification of an agreement by
the department and Chairman Elliott for
the New Haven must be followed by its
sanction in some United States court by
approval of the New Haven stockholders
and by legislative action by the state OF
