ANNUAL REPORT BAY STATE
PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
Passenger Service of Steam Railroads
Criticized.

Boston. Jan 1.-THE Public Ser
vice Commission, in it sannual report
to the legislature. made public tonight.

Much of the trouble has sprung from

consideration to this fact ii is still

OF the New York New Haven and

commissions belief that "the time has
come when the energy which has been
expended upon the moulding of pub
lie sentiment may be devoted more di-
rectly with profit to all concerned. to
the management, operating and fianc-
ing the system"
Since 1918, it was stated, "the road
has definitely adopted no general and
comprehensive plan of financing and
has not attempted to issue permanent
securities even for the immediate inn
provements which are so desirable to
it's own interest. Beyond question, it
has been faced in the past few days
by very trying situation and the
present management has done work
which has been remarkable and no
doubt has been necessary in conciliat-
ing public opinion and inducing more
syTnpathic attitude toward it's misfor-
tunes. The problem now is to build
upon this foundation"

sHIPeUILDERs BEFORE
HOUSE NAVAL COMMITTEE
Stated Their Side of Controversy With
Secretary Daniels.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE five big
shipbuilding companies with whom the
navy department has negotiated un-
successfully for construction of battle
cruisers laid their side of the con-
troYery before the house naval COM
mittee today and declared that
whether the vessels were built at pri-
vate or navy plants, the $16, 500, 900
limit Of cost set by congress eventual
ly would have to be increased.
Because the private builders would
not promise construction within the
authorized limit, Secretary Daniels
has asked for an appropriation of $12,-
600, 900 to equip navy yards for the
work. Representatives of the COM
panies argued today that such a step
would not be in the public interest
pointing out that two private con-
verns, the Fore River and Union Iron
Companies, had offered to build the
vessels at any price the federal trade
commission considered fair.
The committee was told that cost
per ship for hull and machinery
would be nearer $1e ,000, 600 than $751;
SOC, ,o0e and that the larger figure
would give the builders a profit of
about 81 500, 600.
None OF the builders would estimate
at less than 46 months the time re-
quired OF complete the first ship and
Ill insisted that shortage of skilled
labor was the governing factor. Equip
ment Of navy yards, they argued,
would create further demand on ship
trades labor. already inadequate to
meet demands.

ton
In the meantime the prominent
financiers and bankers summoned as
witnesses probably will be permitted
to return home to await further call.
A score or more of witnesses and the
usual throng of spectators were in the
committee room this morning when
word came that there would be no
hearing today while the committee
sought further powers from the house

Miss Rae Tanner Says He Kissed Her
Within Ten Minutes After First
Meeting.

=
New York, Jan. 17.-Miss Rae
Tanner testified under cross exanina-
ton today that .Oiiyer Osborne" who,
she now asserts, was James w. Os-
borne, former assistant district at
torney, kissed her ten minutes after
meeting her through a Irritation and
proposed marriage one hour later.
Miss Tanner as witness for the de-
Tense in the trial of Franklin d. SAT-
ford, who is charged with perjury in
the proceedings that grew out of Miss
Tanzers breach OF promise suit
against the attorney.
Miss Tanzer's assertion was made
while the man she, accuses and Charles
H. Wax, who claims. he courted her
while masquerading under the name
of oliver Osborne" sat facing her
only few feet away.
The witness declaration that James
w. Osborne and not Wax, was the
"Oliver" she had known was repeated
under cross examination. During her
ordeal she collapsed and 8 brief re-
cesses were called by the court to en-
able her to proceed.
Miss Tanzer admitted having told
the United States district attorney in
March, 1915, that she had made an
honest mistake in accusing Attorney
Osborne but insisted that she had
been forced to make the statement by
her attorney. who assured her that ii
she withdrew her charges the cases
against her would be dropped.
Il wanted to tell the truth; i could
not keep it in any longer Miss
Tanzer said when asked why she had
later recanted her story.
+4 On redirect examination the jury
asked to inspect the witness teeth and
two scars on her shoulder. Her coun-
sci pointed out that when Wax was on
the stand he said he had noticed
nothing unusual about her teeth or
her shoulders
Sort1y before court adjourned Miss
Tanner was excused from the stand.

POPE SENDS REPRESENTATIONS
I'd GERMAN. GOVERNMENT
With View to Preventing Further
Belgian Deportations.

London. Jan. II. 7.15 p. m.-With a
view to preventing further Belgian de-
portations and bringing about the re-
patriation of those already sent to Ger
many, Pope Benedict has made repre-
.sentations to the imperial government
according to letter from Cardinal
Gasparri, the papal secretary of state,
to Cardinal Mercier, primate of Bel
gium, which has been given out here,
1t follows:
The pontiff. whose fatherly heart is
deeply moved by all the sufferings OF
the well-beloved Belgian people. has
instructed me to inform Your Emin-
ence that, taking a vivid interest in
your people who have been so harshly
put on trial, he has already pleaded
in their favor with the imperial Ger
man government and that he will do
everything in his power in order that
an end may be put to the deportations
and that those who have already been
carried off far from their country may
soon be back amidst their mourning
families.
His Holiness has also been pleased
to entrust me with the agreeable mis-
sion of sending to Your Eminence and
the faithful diocese of MaIines his
very special benediction."
