On Two-Cent Passenger Rates

both the State and the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims of the
railroad were sustained by the facts.
Two cents did not pay the cost of
carrying a passenger a mile. The
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on it's state freight business to give a
fair return upon the capital used in
Ter = We as
business. For the purpose g
case, the railroad did not deny this,
nat held to its contention that the
State could not segregate it's pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing rate that would be
sufficient to pay the cost OF doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing the business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the Su'
preme Court. It's decision responds
to the judgment of the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The Su
preme Court says that, even though
a railroad earns a surplus on a par
ticular commodity by charging rea
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling it to haul another's
| person or property for less than cost
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway com
| pany. If the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State ma!
not even up by requiring the railroad
| to carry other traffic for nothing O
| for less than cost.
| The decision Is a wholesome on
and demonstrates that the ord1nar.
| rules of fair dealing apply to railwa'
companies. The fact that one make
a surplus on his wheat crop woul'
never be urged as a reason for CON
pelling him to sell his cotton at les
than cost. It would not satisfy tn
man who wanted bread to be toll
that it's high price enabled the cotto'
manufacturer to get his raw produc
for -ess than cost. In this case tn
court reafiirmed the homely maxir
that each tub must stand upon 1t
own bottom"

THREE MACHINES IN CRASH IN CONGESTED.
 STREET IN CENTER
Truck and Two Passengers Cars in Collision-one
 Nosebleed Results.

A three cornered crash between a large truck and two passenger cars belonging to New Haven and Water bury men, in front of the SagaI build ing on Fairfield avenue this afternoon resulted iqHthe arrest of James Mo rell, colored, 1541 Barnunn avenue, driver for the East End Lumber Co.,. and the summoning in court of A. R. Cameron, 27 Pond street, New Haven and M. J. Daley, CT Holmes street, Waterbury, both of whose cars were damaged.
 According to the information fur nished to the police by witnesses the car of Cameron had been standing in front of Schmidt's restaurant and had just been cranked by G. F. Peterson It was being turned into the center of the street to avoid the car owned by M. J. Daley which was directly ahead and standing still, when the truck driven by MoreIl crashed into the rear of the Cameron car which in turn ca romed into the Daley car throwing Daley against the windshield and causing a hemorrhage of the nose. >
 Moren who was apparently una ware of the damage caused to the Da- ley car which had its left front wheel smashed, continued to the viaduct where he was stopped by traffic po- Hceman Daniel Poland. MoreIl dis claims responsibility although it is stated he was driving at a rate be- tween 8 and 20 miles per hour, while the new law calls for speed in cit ies not exceeding 10 miles

REPORTERS SAY THAW APPEARED
 TO BE RATIONAL Newspapermen Who Were With Him After Escape
 Called at Sanity Trial. CANADA TOWN ASKED THAW TO LIVE THERE sherbrooke Alderman Says He Wanted to Have Him
 as 8 Neighbor.

New York,June 24.-Harry K. Thaw will be called to the stand today in the hearing now in progress here to determine whether he is sane, accord ing to an announcement today by Dep uty Attorney General Frank K Cook. The states purpose in adopting this plan, it is understood, is to avoid re- strictions which will limit his story. Thaws brief direct testimony yester- day dealt chiefly with his escape from Matteawan and subsequent incidents.
 The taking of testimony for Thavv was resumed today. It was expected that his side of the case would be concluded within two days.
 Gustav c. Roeder, a newspaperman, who testified yesterday in Thaw's be- half, was called today for cross exam nation. He was asked but one ques- tion, whether there had been any doubt in his1 mind at any time as to the ra- Gona1ity of Thaw.
 1T thought at first that he was not quite hinse1f,'' he said, Hbut Thaw to- day is an entirely different man.
 William L. Shurtleff, an attorney of Coaticook, Quebec, where Thaw was arrested in his flight to Canada, testi- fled as to the various legal proceed ings that took place in Canada in which he acted as Thaw's attorney of record. He had never seen any acts of violence by Thaw during this period and that his conduct impressed him as that of a rational man, he said : John B. Smith, of Sherbrooke, Que bee, a newspaperman, testified that while Thaw was detained in that city he saw him every day; and Andre Rousseau, hotel proprietor at Coati- cook, who said he served Thaw meals gave similar testimony.
 Robert A. Ewing, a Sherbrooke all d TaA 1a1 visited s.axy. eral times in jail and thought so much of him that he had invited him to be- come one of Sherbrooke's businessmen and invest capital there.

OERNBURG PLEASED WITH OUTCOME OF
 HIS MISSION HERE
Says He Thinks Americans Now Understand Posi-

New York, June 24-Ana inter view with Dr. Bernhard Dernburg, the former German Colonial secretary. published by the Tribune, today was obtained here, that paper says, on June II under the stipulation that it should not be printed until Dr. Dern- burg's arrival in Bergen, Norway.
 Some of the allies might take of fense at some of my statements and interfere with my journey" he was quoted as saying.
 The steamer Bergensfjord, on which Dr. Dernburg was a passenger was due to arrive in Bergen today, but a delayed despatch from London receiv- ed here last night said that the yes sel had been detained at kirlzwall, Scotland.- where it was understood the passengers and crew were undergoing an investi gation. The Tribune quotes pr. Dernburg as saying that his mis- sion in the United States, though cur tailed had been successful.
 q believe the great American pub lie has been given a clearer and bet ter understanding of the German case and the German aims of this war; he said.
 Dr.. Dernburg said that he would go immediately to Berlin and confer with government officials there

Villa Must Leave
 Mexico Is Decree
 of Gen. Carranza

Washington, June 24-Hope that the heads of the warning factions in Mexico would settle their differences waned today in view of General Car ranza's notice to the United States that he would not agree to atruce with General Villa pending a discusr sion of peace.
 While Carranza's. attitude was no surprise, the possibility that he does not understand the earnestness of the United States in demanding restora- ton of peace in Mexico is recognized by officials. It is believed that en- lightenment of Carranza on this point is the object of the mission of Charles A. Douglas and Eliseo Arredondo, Washington representatives of Car ranza, who are to leave here tomor- row to confer with him.
 General Carranza announced that he would soon dominate the situation and grant amnesty to those not guilty of crime. He says, however, that Villa and his associates must either leave the country or be tried by a military court.

sGHER,s JEWELRY STORE ON WHITE WAY ROBBED;
 PINKERTONS ARE HERE

Another burglary in the business district, committed early Wednesday morning, following the series of breaks that has caused an uproar in the police department and some criti- eism, was reported today by Jacob Scher, the jeweler of 1189 Main street, in the Stratffeld building.
 The store was entered early We'd nesdayt morning. A wire screen in the basement of the~S ~Stratfeld build ing in the alIeyWay adjoining the county court house was broken. Pen etrating through the steam rooms Of the Turkish bath above, the burglar passed through a store-rooTn of the Grant Department store and thence by breaking another doorway, gained access to the Workroom of the Scher store where he took about $100 worth of engravers tools and d woman's gold watch valued at $14, which had been sold aRd was in process of engrav- ing.
 The burglary, while not of a serious nature, is. one which presents many peculiar features and has already drought a force of Pinkertonz jeweIry .store detectives into this city. The store is a member of the Jewellers Security Alliance and carried the 4'lit- tie blue sign," as bank burglars and II. let up by the Alliance in the matter of detection until conviction is pro- cured.
 From clues already obtained it would appear that a Fagin had been at work. The aperture through which entrance was gained is found to be so small that none but a youngster could crawl through 1t. This fact indicates a boy's work, yet with the theft of tools almost exclusively, when much loot, that would appeal to boys eyes was left untouched, the police are in- cIined-.to believe the work was su- perintended by a man
 No clues have been found to the perpetrators of the Button-O1ipTant, Keller Brothers and B. Blumberg rob berries. It is the belief of the police that this work was committed by one or more of the ''down-and-outs' hang ing about the town at the time. Every pawnshop in cities and towns within a radius of 100 miles has been notified of the thefts.
