STATE CONTROL IS
To Be PROTECTED
Governor Not Favorable to Bills
That Would Disregard Public
Service Board

Governor Brumbaugh to-day an
nounced the veto on June l of the
Senate bill to permit water or light
companies to purchase bonds or stock
of other companies. The Governor
says: sn:s pill is a supplement of the
act of March "a, 1905. 1t extends the
provisions of said act to corporations
incorporated for the purpose of sup
plying light, heat and power, or any
of them, by electricity to the public.
Ii this bill became a law ii could be
argued that a water company or an
electric light, heat and power company
could acquire a controlling interest in
the stocks, bonds and securities of an
other public service company without
the consent of the Public Service Com
mission. They cannot now do so. They
should not be allowed to do SO. To
release any of the powers now con-
ferred by law upon the Public Service
Commission to the free and unregu-
lated action of corporations is to that
extent a surrender of the control and
regulation now in the hands of the
State to private interested hands. 1t is
better to have State regulation and
supervision that the rights of the
people may be conserved"
The Governor also announced Vetoes
of the House bill to permit certain
municipalities to issue refunding bonds
because another bill approved meets
the provisions and vetoed the House
bill to increase a pension paid to j. IL.
Pershing. On the latter bin he said
that it was a second attempt to in
/. crease a pension granted in 1897, and
/ that while the soldier is no doubt
worthy, there are others not included
in the bill.
The Governor also vetoed the bill
repeating several hundred obsolete

Fortress Evacuated After
Munitions Were Removed

A. M.-Russian troops on the fronts
to the north and west of the fortress
of Przemysl evacuated their positions
Wednesday night after all the war ma
terials taken from the Austrians had
been removed, according to an official
statement issued last night by the

Radymno by the Austro- German
forces they began to spread along the
west bank of the San, making the
defense of Przemysl a difficult task
The Russians contend they realized
from the first that Przemysl was in
capable of defending itself.

Hard to Find Out
About Wheat Prices

Washington, Feb. s. Further
d 10 pm is Of the govern
ment's effort to determine causes
for the rise in wheat prices were
discussed by justice department
officials today in connection with
a suggestion by District Attorney
Clyne of Chicago, that an inquiry
into future dealings in New York
be undertaken to supplements such
an investigation in Chicago.
1t was said Mr.. Clyne pointed
out it was practically impossible
to discover whether the wheat rise
was due to re al demand or to
speculation unless the govern
ment obtained specific figures.
Difficulty in compiling such sta
tistics isrecognizedhere. Figures
showing actual exports through
New York came as routine to the
commerce department, but much
of that wheat might have been
bought originally for speculation,
then so Id when prices reached
attractive heights.
