PITBLIC UTILITIES

OF 5000 Brooklyn Rapid Transit en-
ployes. $500 have applied for insurance
under the group plan, according to q
statement issued yesterday by the COM
pany. As result, no physical examn-
alton will be required, more than the
requisite number having applied under
the waiver agreement. The plan, an
nounced July 80. involves a premium Of
nearly $4,000 a year, one-half paid by
the employees and one-half by the COM
pany. Retiring employees will be con.
tinued in $1,000 policy without cost.
1t is understood that plans have been
arranged for extension of the Phoenix
vile. Valley Forge and Strafford Electric
Railway from Valley Forgo to coNrcct
with the Philadelphia and Western Rail-
way at Bridgeport. Such development
would hitch up also with the Pottstown
and PhoeniXville Railway, which is con-
Meeting its lines by some new construc-
tion, and this would make the Philadel-
phia and Western Railway the terminal
system for a new through electric line to
Pottstown.
The New York Upstate Public Service
Commission has decided that it has no
power to modify the terms of a franchise
granted by a municipality. The New
York and North Shore Traction Com
pany applied to the commission, asking
that 1t determine that the just and
reasonable fare between MineQla ana
Port Washington was Is cents instead
of the 10 cents to which the road is linn
tied by the terms of its franchise granted
by the supervisors of Nassau County and
the highway commissioners of the town
of North Hampstead. The attorneys for
the road contended that the power to
grant franchises in a municipality was
but a power delegated to the municipality
by the Legislature, and that the Legisla-
ture itself, or the commission. to whom
the Legislature has delegated general
power over rates. could amend the fran
chise. The case has been watched with
interest by many street and interurban
railways and steam roads as had 1t been
decided that the commission had the
power invoked. nearly all cases in which
| an admittedly inadequate return is now
| imposed by the limitation of local fran
chise might be brought before the COM
mission, without respect to the local
| authorities.

A BOY DISAPPEARS
WILLIAM METZ RODE AWAY ON
BICYCLE SUNDAY
Since Then His Family Has Hear1
Nothing Of Him--Ldvcs ON

3 Since Willisn Meta. 10 years old,
! mounted his bicycle and rode away
. from his home out on the Detroit
} road Sunday afternoon about 3
; O'Clock. his family has been unabls
J to obtain trace Of him. Though gone
J only q few hours before his absence
J was noticed and caused worry, he
disappeared completely. His family
J had been unable to learn anything
as to his whereabouts at late hour
this afternoon. 81
. About noon Sunday william was
at the q. B. Lewis home playing
with some of the boys there. Short.
,ly afterward he went home. He
said nothing to his playmates about
leaving home, nor had they ever
heard him say that he was dissatis-
fled with his home. He has been III
with the mumps.
No searching party has been sent
out, for the family has no idea
where to look for the boy. 1t is NOT
thought likely that he has met with
foul play. He has some relatives at
Beloit and these will be notified OF
the boys leaving his home here. For
the past two years, William has not
attended school but has helped his
father ON the farm.
No word has been received Of
William Metz, the 19-year-old SON
Of G. Metz, living east of town,
who rode away from his home on
his bicycle about o'clock Sunday
afternoon toward the south. He
has been missing ever since. His
father now fears that the boy has
met with foul play or has commit
ted some rash act upon his own
life.
The boy had only 80 cents when
he left home. He took no extra
with him, was dressed In
his ordinary clothes and wore o
ed sweater. DR.. T. R. Conklin saw
boy riding a bicycle and wearing
! red sweater along the Golden Belt
oward Salina yesterday afternoon,
ut as he at that time had not heard
+ the boys disappearance, thought
othing of the circumstance.
William was quiet lad and his
nusual action was complete sur.

LONDON, May line Ounaru hh
er Lusitania, one of the largest
steamers afloat, was struck by a

vations for sailing, warning them
that the ship would be sunk on It's
voyage over.
A few of the passengers were
frightened but the steamship Off
,cials allayed the fears, and there
were no cancellations.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt was warned {
not to sail on the Lusitania, but dis
