Scent LINE WINS
TN BRIDGE FIGHT
HAYWARD Bids North River
Co. Not to Engage in
Undue Competition"

Commissioner William Hayward Of
the Public Service Commission made
public Yesterday his decision in the
Manhattan Bridge Line-Brooklyn 4
North River Railroad controversy and
ordered that the Brooklyn & North
River company live strictly within the
terms of its franchise. 1t must not
engage in undue competition. he said,
with the Manhattan Bridge Three Cent
Line. which operates across the same
bridge.
In its complaint the Manhattan com
panv stated that the Brooklyn
North River company on December IL,
1915, had inaugursted a service from
Broadway. Manhattan, across the Man
haitian Bridge to Concord Street,
Brooklyn. at a three-cent fare rate.
I'm his decision Commissioner Hay
ward said: Il think that the opera
ton by the Brooklyn & North River
company. which terminated at Concord
Street. 694 feet east Of the Brooklyn
end Of the bridge. charlottesville under
its franchise and should be discon-
tinued. Either they are terminating
route at the Brooklyn end Of the bridge
or they are carrying three-cens
passengers on portion Of the route
identical with that of the Manhattan
Bridge Three-Cent Line. and in either
case the operation comes under the
prohibition Of the franchise.
. 81 believe that the turning back OF
cars at Concord Street should be dis
continued and that all cars should be
operated through to Fulton Street,
300 feet further.
IF this is done, however, there re-
mains the Brooklyn & North River
practice Of allowing three-cent passen-
gers 70 ride beyond the Brooklyn end
OF the bridge. The company claims
that IT, is doing everything IN its lower
70 keep passengers from doing so, but
the evidence was quite conclusive that
its efforts are only half-hearted, if they
can even be dignifed by the term EFF
forts. II IS not for the commission
70 determine just what methods will
be used 10 stop this practice, but ] be-
Geve that the fertile minds Of the man
ayers Of the four largest street rail
ways in the greatest city in the world
can. If they really desire 10 DO so,
evolve some method which will prevent
people from stealing n ride. ] there
fore believe that the Brooklyn & North
River company should be ordered not
20 carry any passengers presenting
three-cent tickets beyond the Brooklyn
end Of the bridge"

ATLANTIC CITY SURF
MUST HIDE VENUS SUITS
Girls Can't Pose on Beach in
One-Piece Costumes.

Atlantic City. June 3.-That rapidly
diminishing quantity, the bathing girls
skirt, finally has vanished from sight,
so far as Atlantic City beaches are con-
cerned. Young women who desire to
frolic in the waves in alluring one
piece jersey suits may do so this sum-
mer without fear of interference by an
exacting beach censor.
But it is expressly stipulated that
the frolicking must he in the water and
not on the sands. The new regulations,
as set forth by the police to-day, per-
NIT the woman bather who actually
swims to wear just about what her own
conscience dictates. But the poser who
prefers sun baths will be compelled to
wear something approaching street
costume

 Turning to the question of duty of a nation going to the proposed court to use it's army and navy in enforcing its decrees upon the proposed court to use it's army and navy in enforcing it's decrees upon other members that should go to war in defiance of the courts decrees, MT. Taft took issue with former Secretary of State Bryan regarding MT. Bryan's contention that constitutional amendment would be necessary before the United States could obHgate itself in this respect
 ''Mr. Bryan declared that Tn order to carry out the provision we must have a joint council of the powers to determine when the time had arrived for military action and war; said Mr. Taft. And that this would <substi- tute the action of the council for the discretion of Congress. I venture to think that this view is wholly without foundationn. If the war is foreign war it could not be begun under the constitution until Congress had de- clared war. To impose in a constftu- tiona1 way by treaty an obligation on Congress does not take away it's power to discharge it or to refuse to dis charge it.

Two of the most eloquent and scholarly discourses ever heard by the members of St. Patrick's Holy Name society were delivered last evening be- fore that body in the church parloPs Parallel street. The speakers were Rev. Edward P. Curran, formerly as- sistant of St. Patrick's church, this city, but now curate of St. Patrick s church, Hartford. and Major William H. Flynn of St. Charles church.

 Major Flynn took for his subject Indifference to the Teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. During the course of the address divorce received scorching blows. At the conclusion of the talk the members unanimously voted to extend Major Flynn a vote of thanks and invited him to come and address the gathering again. Pat rick McGee, president of the society,

Climbed Telegraph
 Poles To Spy On
 His Wife, He Says

Guards at the U. M. c. Go. patrol ling Hal1ett street were given a scare this morning when they found John Kozzo, who claimed residence at 529 Jane street, climbing a telegraph pole like 6 squirrel. Watchman John Kee- gan ran to the pole upon the cross arms of which Kozzo was seated.
 Come down from there!" shouted Keegan.
 "AlI right!'' replied Kozzo who when he had complied with the order began to rub his hands in the dirt of the street.
 What's the matter?" solicitously inquired Keegan.
 Nothing, officer. I only want to wash my hands so you won't get dirty"
 At the police station Kozzo said that his prime reason for climbing the pole was a desire to see that his wife, who is employed on~the second floor of the U. M. c. building nearby, was at

 This duty can only be discharged through the action of Congress in de- c1aring war; he asserted. Does that deprive Congress of it's mower to de- clare war? It ,seem~ to me the ques- ton answers itself.
 With Cuba a similar situation is presented,'' said the former President.
