more eXpedient to build the proposed
commercial bridge into Washington
city proper. The question of the pro-
portion of the expense of new bridge
that should be borne by the railroad
lines allowed to use it he deemed an
Independent proposition that should be
left to the determination of Congress.
somewhat alarming feature of the
situation raised by the army engineers
was that unless provision is made for
a new bridge or for the Strengthening
of the present bridge. it may become
necessary before very long in the IN
terests of public safety to close the
Aaueduct bridge, either en..rely or to
restrict it to pedestrian travel. 1t was
pointed out that the bridge was pur-
chased for the special use of the gov
eminent in its intercourse with Fort
Myer and Arlington cemetery, and that
it is not a thoroughfare for commerce
or the general public in the usual sense
of the word. According to one author
ity at the War Department, the Sec
rotary of War has the same authority
over the bridge, that he has over the
Conduit road over the Washington
Auueduct similarly open to general
traffic, and can order either the bridge
or the Conduit road closed whenever
it is deemed necessary in the interests
of the federal government. 1t was de-
clared, however that no such arbitrary
action is likely to be taken an, that
the Auueduct bridge will be kept in
full and free operation so long as 1t
can be done safely in the real interests
of the public.

SOMERSET LOW CARFARE
NOT ENJOYED BY RIGHT
Railroad Could Have Raised Rate in
1912 Had It Not Disputed
Jurisdiction.

From the opinion in the Somerset,
Nd, rate case handed down, late yes
terday afternoon, by the interstate
commerce commission and refusing the
application of the citizens of Somerset,
a suburb on the Washington Rockville
electric line, to declare the proposed
increases in rates unreasonable, it ap-
pears that the Increased rates might
have been permitted to go into effect
when the first case was decided, in
1912, had the railroad taken other
grounds than it did. The increased
rates become effective next Wednesday
at midnight.
=. At that time the railroad stood on the
point that the commission had no juris-
diction over the electric road. and sub
mitted no evidence to justify the in
creases At that time the commission
dealt only with the question of Jur1s-
diction, and therefore denied the rail-
road the right to increase its rate of
5 cents or a car ticket to and from
Somerset, but in this latest opinion
permits the increases sought in 1912.
Opinion of Interstate Commission.
Speaking of the first case, the opin-
ion, written by Chairman Harlan, yes
! terday, said:
ne merits OF tne question We're HOT
gone into, the defendants averring that
as electric street railways they were
not subject to- our jurisdiction under
the act to regulate commerce. nor were
they engaged in the interstate trans
portation of passengers. We did not
sustain this view, but held that the
defendants were conducting transport
tation of the character over which we
have jurisdiction under the act; and as
the defendants introduced no testimony
tending to justify the increased rates,
as the statute required, an order was
entered fixing cash fare of 5 cents
or six fares for 25 cents as the maxi
mum charge that the defendants might
make for their passenger service be-
tween Somerset and points within the
District of Columbia. :
AT the expiration of that order,
says the opinion, 1.-The tariff now under
suspension was filed with us, again
proposing the additional fare con-
demned in the former proceeding. In
addition to the one-way fares. monthly
Communication tickets good for twenty
six round trips between Somerset and
the District line are to be sold for
S110; when used i'll connection with
District car tickets twenty-six round
trips between Somerset and points
within the District may be had at a
total cost of 1927, or 1919 cents per
round trip.
| This s1.10 rate, which was fixed by
special act of the general assembly OF
Maryland, applies alike at all stations
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-01-17

between the District line and Alta
Vista, 361 miles, to which, point Somer-
set is intermediate. Family commu.a-
ton tickets good for thirty rouha ; trhpo
the District of Columbia may be nao
at $3.50. or 13 cents per round trip.
Comparison of Suburban Rates.
THE record shows that. besides
Somerset, there are only three points
where transportation beyond the Dis
trict line may be had without the
payment of an additional fare, none
of which is located on the lines OF the
respondent carriers. At Mount Rainier,
Nd, one may ride 200 feet and at
Chevy Chase, Md, 500 feet beyond the
District line without the payment OF an
additional fare. Somerset is SAY ml!es.
Riverdale rs miles and Silver spring
SO miles from central points WITHIN
the District of Columbia; the one-Way'
single trip fare to the two latter sta-
lions is 10 cents.
"The monthly communication fare from
Riverdale is on the basis of 2-3 cents
per trip, and.from Silver Spring, Which
is but two-fifths of a mile beyond the
District line, practically the same DIS
lance as Somerset, is $3.50, or 13E
cents per round trip; family communal
ton tickets good for thirty round trips
are sold at $3.50, or 10 cents per round
trip, the same basis proposed in the
suspended tariff from Somerset. 1t is
our understanding that the Capita
Traction Company sells tickets good
for 100 rides between Chevy Chase
Lake. 10 miles from the Treasury, and
the District line at cost of 81.
I'VE have carefully considered all
the facts shown of record and have
reached the conclusion that the pro-
posed one-way and family commute,
ton tickets between Somerset and
points m the District of Columbia are
neither unreasonable nor dis
criminatory. Our order of suspension
will therefore be vacated.
The order of the commission vacatlng
its suspension orders accompanies the
opinion.

FIND MURDER MYSTERY
Feared That Four Men in Alaska
Have Been Slain.

Seattle. Wash, Nov 1s.-A murder
plot which bids fair to be the most
heinous and far-reaching in the GRIM
ina1 annals of Alaska, is developing in
connection with a probe of the kid
mapping of William Christie. the Tread
way Mine company's president
Four men, about the murder OF
three of whom there can be but little
doubt, are missing They are Christie,
Ole E. Moe, Captain John o. Plunkett,
a pioneer of Juneau, and C. F. Smith
Captain of Detectives Charles Tenant
made the unqualified statement that
as a result of his investigation he is
convinced that Christie was murdered
and that if C. F. Smith is alive, he is
lucky man.
Moe, Christie and Plunkett were last
seen in the company of a man named
Krause. Plunkett disappeared and his
launch was burned near Juneau What
purported to be a letter written by
Plunkett formally reported the loss to
the Juneau authorities the writer stat
ing that he was on his way to Seattle
This letter has been proved a forgery.
1t was written on the same grade OF
paper and identical stationery as that
of the bogus subpoena on which
Christie was taken to his doom.
Christie's, Noes, Plunkett's and
Smiths signatures were all found in
the possession of the man named
Krause, who is now in custody.

TO FACE BOTH WAYS
Property Owners Along Central Park
Ask for Another Street.

A proposition for the city to donate
ten feet off the east side of Central
park, to be added TO the alley and
thereby make a street of the alley,
and then for the city to pay the ex-
pense of paving the land thus given
away, was revived at q meeting of the
city commission today when r. H.
Cav, H. G Horner, w T. Dawson and
c. y. Bacon appeared before the city
commission and argued in favor of the
proposition They all live on Fillmore
street, and the plan would be of bene-
fit TO their property. making their
lots face on a street at each end.
A petition asking that the city take
action as outlined was presented to
the city commission nearly a year ago.
The city attorney sees legal difficulties
in the way of paying for the paving
The plan is of doubtful value to the
city at large, but would be of great
value to the adjoining property own
ers. 1t has been suggested that a fair
pronOsition would be for the adjoining
property owners to agree to pay all
the cost of paving in return for the
land which would be taken from
the park The matter was referred
today TO W. G. Tandy. city commits
sioner of streets: W. L. Porter, city
of parks and public
property and to George P Hayden,
