COMMISSION HAS
POWER OVER Fares

Jurisdiction over the street car fares
of the Portland Railway. Light &
Power company lies with the public
service commission, according to an
opinion handed down late yesterday
afternoon by Attorney General Brown
in reply to a query from the commits
sion as to whether or not it had a right
to raise the fare if it saw the raise was
justified,
The attorney general holds that the
public utility act supercedps any act or
provision of the city charter of Port
land regulating street ear fares. The
Portland charter provides thta not more
than five cents shall he charged for a
continuous trip any Nne wfy but the
attorney general says that this is not
binding on the public service commits
sion.
In making this decision, the attorney
general said he took into consideration
the opinion of the supreme court in the
WOODBURY. case and the decision CT
Judge Bean in the federal court in the
case of the p. R. l.. Il p. company
against the City of Portland, which is
found in federal reports.

Reveals Criminal Gang

New York, Sept. 20.-If some major
crime in connection with the death of
Mrs. Maude King is not discovered in
North Carolina, there will be prosecu-
Itions in New York of several persons
on charges Of conspiracy, including
! conspiracy to murder.
This was the declaration here today
! of District Attorney Swami in announc-
ing his conviction that Mrs. King was
the victim of premeditated murder.
Swami will send operatives from his
office to Concord, N. c., late this week
to assist North Carolina authorities in
their Investigations. He said that if OBJ
Lection was made to the use of state
funds to pay the expenses of this in
yestigation, he would pay the bills
himself, firm in the belief that it will
lead to the discovery Of a murder and
will save New York the expenses OF
conducting less important trials.

1t was believed today, from activity
in the district attorneys office that
some result would come today from
the long grand jury investigation.
Attorneys representing Castor B.
Means applied today to the district at
torney for permission to take over the
flat where Means formerly lived in
New York, declaring he had furniture
he wanted removed.
Assistant District Attorney Dooling
today began investigations Of numer-
GUS stock transactions Means is said
to have figured in, one of them said to
have involved a loss Of $10S,OO0 in the
Chicago cotton market. Some bonds
were sold, he said, and some shares of
Brown Shoe company stock. 1t IS be-
Ilieved the signature of M. A. B. King,
on the bonds, was forged in order to
close the sale. This transaction took
place at the time of Means cotton diff
