Commission Will Not
Give Case Rehearing

The Public Service commission has
refused the petition of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad for a rehearing in the
Woodside station case from this coun-
ty. The commission recently ordered,
on complaint of Charles S. Keefer,
that station facilities be improved.
The commission acted on a dozen
cases, most of them of considerable
Importance on rates in the western
part of the State. The York Railways
company was given the right to pur-
chase securities of the Merchants
Electric company.
One of the big cases decided was
that a railroad cannot collect demur-
rage for cars on a private siding.
The Reading, Birdsboro and Potts
town company was refused a right to
extend tracks because of lack of pub
lie necessity.

Of Telling a Lie

LONDON. June 29.-Premier AS

neither Great Britain nor her allies

leader in the House of Commons this
afternoon, and his refusal to give in
formation on the subject was met
with the assertion that his statement
was absolutely without foundation"
Sir Arthur B. Markham. Liberal
member for the Mansfield division Of
Nottinghamshire, who raised the point
and angrily charged the Premier with
preventing the truth, attempted to
heckle Mr.. Asquith. Sir Arthur said
the original statement cast a Slur up
on Field Marshal Sir John French,
who was in no way responsible for it.
Mr.. Asquith's only reply was that
Sir Arthur Markham was raising Just
the sort OF point which would be most
undesirable for both the interests OF
the army and the campaign TO raise.
and when the Premier refused 10 be
drawn further Sir Arthur blurted out:
is it in the interests Of the Nation
that the Prime Minister should make
a statement which is absolutely with
out foundation"
Cries Of shame" and protesants OF
Its the truth" led to brief excitement.

HUNTINGTON, June 29.-The lar
rest police court In the history OF the
city was held Monday morning by
Judge T. A. Null in criminal court
room. where the court was adjourned
when It was found that the regular
police court room was not large
enough to accommodate the crowd OF
Srfsoners and spectators. One hun
dfSdsand t~wenty-three violators OF the
tfafic ordinance, twenty DRINKS
lZht men charged with disorderly
conduct, three with fighting and three
with lettering brought the total OF
prisoners to 149. while it was estimat-
ed that between two and three hun
dred interested onlookers were crowd
ed into the room.
Outside in the streets about the
court house square, over sixty auto
mobiles, carriages, wagons and other
conyeyances were parked, reminding
one OF the days in the early history
Of the country when men and women
from the country districts journeyed
formles in wagons to the court house
during the session Of court.
Immediately after opening court
me names Of the traffic ~violators were
read and, when it was found that all

ity to assure the Imperial German Gov
eminent that such an indemnity, il

rest with a prize court to determine
what reparation would be satisfactory

For the reasons above stated, the

half of the owners and captain Of the

settlement.

ceedings which the Imperial German
Government may wish to take IN 9th

ested parties which have not been
presented by the Government OF the
United States. but which you state in
your note OF June Z make prize court
proceedings in this case indispensable.
and it does not perceive the necessity
for postponing the settlement Of the
present claim pending the considers
ton of those other claims by the prize
court.
THE Government Of the United
States, therefore, suggests that the
Imperial German Government econ.
slider the subject in the light Of these
considerations, and. because OF the OBJ
jections against resorting to the prize
court. the Government of the United
States renews its former suggestion
that an effort be made to settle this
claim by direct diplomatic negota
