BOARDS RIGHT DENIED
TO FIX PHONE RATES
keystone Company Attorney
Says Law Permits Only Su-
pervision of Companies Busi-
ness.

HARRISBURG, July T.-When the
three-year-old controversy between the
Public Service Commission and the tele-
phone companies of the State as to the
reasonableness of the rates the commls-
sion proposes to enforce came before the
Public Service body today. James Collins
Jones, counsel for the Keystone Tele-
phone Company Of Philadelphia, aues-
toned the right OF the commission to
make rates He said the law provides
only for the supervision and correction
of public service companies doing pusi-
ness in Pennsylvania and when the CoiIl-
mission attempted to formulate an en-
tirely new rate IL usurped the right OF
the companies.
Commissioner Pennypacker questioned
Mr. Jones at some length as to his rea-
sons for this assertion and then called
his attention 10 the fact that the com
mission had not hesitated to step III
where proposed rates had been regarded
as unfair or excessive and tsked MIN II
this did not in effect go back to the prop
osition of establishing new rates.
Mr., Jones did not agree with Commits
eioner Pennypncker that 1t did.
Mr.. Jones charged that the method b,
which the Commission proposes to III
the telephone charges for the State j
basically wrong. He said the only fai
way to arrive at proper conclusion Il
the matter would be by an examination
of each company separately and tina
population, upon which the tentativ
schedule is founded. plays only sma
part in the fixing of telephone rates.
The hearing is one of the most i'm
portant ever given by the commissio
and may last two days, as nearly ever
telephone company in the State has 1t
legal and official representatives, An
of the companies interested may protest
even though they have had no part o
the proceedings leading up to the presen
argument All the companies are op
posed TO the proposed schedule.
r. v. Marye, general counsel for tn
Bell company, will make the closing ad

SINKING OF LEELANAW
NO CAUSE FOR WAR
John Frederick Lewis, Noted
Admiralty Lawyer, Says Case
Is Like That of Frye.

There should be no war between the
United states and Germany because Of
the sinking Of the American steamrhp
Leelanaw by a German submarine on
the northeast coast Of Scotland IN the
opinion Of John Frederick Lewis noted
as an admiralty lawyer whose Offices
are at 10i South lth street
Mr.. Lewis today give his opinion that
the latest destruction Of an American
merchantmen by German under-sea
vessel was matter demanding COM
pensation from the German Government
for the loss to the owners OF the Lees
lanaw but not one that should result IN
hostilltles between America and Ger
many.
The Admiralty attorney pointed out
that the sinking Of the boat. after It had
been found to be carrying contraband,
was in no way an Insult to this Govern
ment. Instead, he said. II was simply a
short CUT by Germany to take the ves-
sci off the seas. In event tho German
Government should refuse 70 pay for the
loss, he called attention TO the many Ger
man steamships interned in American
ports that could be seized TO pay the loss
Judged from the terms OF the latest note
to- Germany. he did not think that the
sinking Of the Leelanaw should be con-
sidered by tho United States as an "un-
friendly act"
Mr.. Lewis said:
THE sinking Of the Leelanaw ought not
to involve any international complica-
lions other than demand by the United
States Government for compensation. No
lives were lost and the incident is In no
wise similar to the destruction OF the
| Busitana and the loss OF hundreds OF
| innocent lives. The case is substantially
| similar TO that OF the sinking Of the
William p. Frye and compensation OF the
| owners Of the ship ought TO meet the
| Issue.
Ordinarily, when n warship overhauls
n merchant ship carrying oontraband, the
warshlp takes It's prize to a home port or
to port OF an ally. where the question
of prize or no prize Is sdetermined. II the
vessel is carrying contraband bf greater
value than the value OF the ship, the ves
sci is liable to condemnation. A subma-
rine, from the nature of her build, cannot
tow merchant vessel to n German port.
Such towage under the present circum-
stances would be impossible. Hence. Ger
many has taken short cut by sinking
the Leelanaw and leaving the owners to
their rights under international law.
These rights have no doubt the Govern
ment of the United States can enforce"
"war with Germany at the present time
seems nconceivable, but there are many
ways in which the Government Of the
United States can protect Itself and It's
citizens without engaging in actual hos
Titles
It Is to be sincerely hoped that the
United States will remain at peace with
Germany and will not sever diplomatic
relations, and that no such drastic meas
ure as this. which have suggested, Will
be made necessary"

CLOVER CLUB MEMBERS

Prominent Men Honor Famous Wit,
Now "Dead All Over"

Members OF the Glover Club and other
prominent clubmen thronged the Church
of st. John the Divine, 18th street above
Chestnut street, this morning at the flu
neral of DR.. Edward Bedloe, known
throughout the city as "Bedloe Bey" and
famous as an explorer and traveller Doc
tor Bedloe, who lived at Dooners Hotel,
was noted as a wit. couplet he de-

became slogan Of the Glover Club.
Doctor Bedloe was always in great de-
mand at dinners and banquets held In
Philadelphia during the time he stopped
here while in the consular service. HIS
knowledge of Egypt won him an assign
ment by the Khedive of Egypt to the
Khedlval staff during magnificent en-
tertainment at Port Said. After that
Doctor Bedloe became known as Bed
loe Bey" who had been "a hey for a

The services at St. Johns Church to-
day were the simplest. A low requiem

not been aware OF the purpose when per-
mission was granted for the meeting. He
said he was first appraised Of It when his
attention was called to the newspaper
article by his lawyer. He Immediately
made haste to return and the denouement
followed.
Mrs. Mattern stated that the hall had
been occupied on Monday evenings by
the Amalgamated Society OF Engineers
and Machinists and that they had notified
her that they would like to occupy the
hall for a short time today She was
highly indignant at what she called the
betrayal Of her confidence.
This Is a matter Of Misrepresentation
When permission was requested of me
for the use Of the hall | was under the
impression that it was to be a meeting
OF the society. II is impossible for us
to permit the use OF the hotel for English
recruiting. We have been In business for
81 years and we have never had anything
so dlstasteful as this occur during that
time. I shall take immediate steps to
cause the society to meet elsewhere In
the future When they come here on
Monday night they will be told to get
out"
One of the patrons OF the hotel inter
polated a few remarks at this point.
This is Just another attempt to In
nict damage on a German house by the
British" he said Thousands of pc y
pie will read of the meeting, and what
will they say? Why that this hotel does
not deserve their patronage
The assembled applicants had long since
departed They went to the Rudolph
| House. at 23d and Spring Garden streets
! There Mr.. Wallace" took his seat agar
and began once more the questioning Il
applicants. A number of them accepted
the offerings of the British Government.

MAN HELD FOR EXPLOSION
Discharged Employe Accused of Try
ing to Blow Up Plant.

DALLAS, Tex, July 21.--Discarding the
German spy theory the police today
held, on suspicion, Wallace Moore, son
of w. T. Moore. saddlemaker, in whose
house bomb exploded late last night
injuring the elder Moore and Frank
Moore Several other suspects were re-
leased
The police expressed the opinion that
the younger Moore is responsible FOR the
bomb outrage in the Moore home, and
for the unsuccessful attempt to blow up
the home of President Padgitt, of the
Padgitt saddlery Company, working on
an Allied war order.
The Padgitt attempt was considered
blind to cover the Moore case. Wallace
Moore had been discharged from the Pad
gift concern about week ago.
