ALLEGES TAX ON PATRONS

Early In today's session a charge was
made by Robert j. Kay, of the Westchester
Board OF Trade, that the Pennsylvania
Railroad made it's Philadelphia commuters
and passengers pay the losses It's suffered
annually in New York.
Replying TO this. Mr.. Bikle said, IF some
one will name some metropolitan COM
munity whose Communication service they
would rather have than the service in
Philadelphia. / would like to hear It,"
George stein. local counsel of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, rose to say that
as there had been no complaints against the
Baltimore and Ohio, he would not have
anything TO say. Mr.. Abbott reminded him
that the Baltimore and Ohio was named as
well as the other railroads, but did not
submit any new rate schedules
Commissioner Magce then told Mr. Stein
that the Baltimore and Ohio had not fol-
lowed out the spirit of the 1914 order,
which regarded one and one-half cents n
mile as n maximum figure. The railroad,
he said, applied that rate to every station.
The Germantown rate proposition was
made by Mr.. Sheriff at the morning session.

70 submit until today The new proposi'
ton comes a little late"
The problems before the commission, he
said, narrowed themselves down TO the
question Of the reasonableness OF the rail-
roads proposal to establish a MINIMUM
rate Of ten cents n ride for hfty-trip tickets
on stations within seven miles Of Broad
Street Station.
RAILIRIo1AID CLAIMS
In this connection he pointed out the
following
stations within the seven-mlle limit
affect only the semi-occasional riders.
The commission has recognized the
reasonableness OF establishing mini
mum fares AS an Illustration OF this
he cited the Fortleth street Station
controversy.
There are certain expenses which are
fixed whether the passenger is carried
one mile or hundred. These eN-
penses are as great for passenger
carried from Broad Street station 70
Oyerbrook as one carried from Broad
street to Coatesville.
The actual cost of handling each pas
senger at Broad street, irrespective OF
the distance he travels, is eight cents.
The short-distance Communication
travel adds largely to the expense OF
short-dlstance riders add largely to
the cost OF building and maintaining
terminal like Broad Street Station.
The right Of railroad to a minimum
charge was recognized last spring by
Congress-
Short distance commuters using
Broad street Station ride exclusively
over some OF the most costly and val
liable stretches OF railroad in the world.
These portions OF the road represent
Investment of millions Of dollars per
mile.
No one has yet asserted that the
minimum farces proposed are unreason-
able

RUSSIAN PRISONERS

BERLIN. oct. 27-The number
OF Russian war prisoners who try
90 escape to neutral countries in
the hope of reaching their father
land increases steadily, but very
few of the fugitives manage TO get
out Of the German empire Most OF
them are caught before they reach
the frontier.
When captured they all give the
same explanation for their attempt
ed tight-they are hOmesick and
want 10 see their families again.
The runaways are mostly men
who have been placed on farms al
most unguarded. They have work
ed all summer and saved the wages
paid to them. With their savings
they expect to be able TO get to Rus
STA somehow.
Many try TO reach Switzerland,
although they do not know how
they are 10 reach their homes from
there. Somebody has told them that
they would be free as soon as they
are on Swiss soil, and that their
consuls would procure transportation
for them Their astonishment is al
ways great when they are taken into
custody and informed by the Swiss
authorities.
In the last two weeks about 400
Russians tried TO cross Lake Con-
stance and so succeeded. The others
were captured and returned 10 their
camps where they will be kept un-

WASHINGTON. d. c.. oct. %.
Mrs William Cumming Story.
president OF the Daughters Of the
American Revolution has gone on
record today as repudiating for her
organization the demand of some of
its executive officers that Sec'y Of
War Baker resign because of his
alleged comparison Of Washington
revolutionary army with revolu-
tionary factions in Mexico today.
Mrs. Story asserted that no such
action was taken by any officer of
the d. A. r. She said that she first
heard Of it through the newspapers.
At practically the same time Mrs
Story made this statement. however.
the demand upon Sec'y Baker was
endorsed at a meeting Of the Loyal
Legion. Some of the officers of the
organization took exception TO Mrs
Story's statement. asserting that the
demand upon the secretary of war
was made by members of the order
as individuals.

What kind OF a country do the

Mr. Hughes.
First. they do not want a govern

a mask behind which Will be Boss

mittee of the senate; Sen. Warren Of
pork barrel fame, chairman Of the
committee On appropriations; Will

20 all young men In America as rep

They are Mr.. Hughes advisors now,
ard they will run the government il
ne is elected.
Created More Defense.
Second, young Americans know
that Prest Wilson has provided
more complete plans for the devel-
opment OF the army and the navy
and vastly greater appropriations for
both than the republicans provided
in 16 years Of power and they know
that Roosevelt. the chief advocate Of
preparedness, il the seven and one
half years that he was president in
creased the United States army only
500 men.
Third. young Americans love good
craftsmanship. fair play and man
ners They know that Pres't Wilson,
loaded with burdens at home and
abroad, although subject TO hypoc-
risy and abuse from the opposition,
has maintained the dignity of the
presidency and kept every promise
he made 20 the American people.
Fourth. young Americans want
this republic 10 take the lead when
the war is over for world peace, as
Mr.. Hughes says. but they know that
because Pres't Wilson is the only
leader OF a great nation. who has
been able 10 maintain peace for his
fellow citizens, he will be the most
powerful influence in the world with
the belligerent nations, when the
war is over.
Young America will not vote for
Mr.. Hughes by counsel of every old
reactionary leader OF the nation and
Young America viii sohdly support
