FARE CASE TO P. U.
Supreme Court Tells X. G.,
Kan, To Keep Hands OF.
Body in Scent Case.
NO EFFECT ON Topeka RAISE
Local Railway Matter Still Up
to Kansas Commission.
Kansas City Contended 1t Had
q "One City" Utility.
NO EFFECT ON Topeka RAISE

In q special decision today the SUI
preme court denied to Kansas City,
KAN, the right to interfere with the
state public utilities commission in
hearing an application for a scent
street car fare. The decision reversed
a ruling of the wyandotte county dis
Topeka case is had by the supreme
court action.
Under a decision written by Justice
Mason; an Injunction by the Wyan-
dotte county court against the state
utilities commission is dissolved and
set aside. The court held. however,
that the city might seek court relief
in wyandotte county, In view of the
fact that the commission had not
taken up the case and had not de-
termined it's Jurisdiction, the supreme
court held that the injunction could
not be enforced.
SIS A "One City" Utility.
Kansas City. Kan, contended that
the street railway company was a
zone city, utility and that existing
rates had been, fixed by an unexpired
contract. 1t was urged that the bust
ness of the street railway company
was not subject to local control be-
cause q portion Of the business Is in
terstate The supreme court held that
the commission must itself determine
whether it had Jurisdiction to consider
these issues and that an Injunction
could not be granted to prevent the
state commission inquiring into the
case.
"Inasmuch as the commissions
power to allow an application of this
character depends upon the particu-
lar circumstances of the case,"- said
the supreme court. TT has 5uris-
diction to inquire and determine for
itself in the first instance the facts
in that regard, the remedy of anyone
aggrieved by it's decision lying in a
subsequent action in the court
BY terms of the decision the public
utilities commission may conduct
hearing and determine whether it has
tarisdiction in settling the rate dis
pute. Following such action by the
commission, the city may seek relief
in the courts and secure legal review
of the case The commission may
hear and determine the amount of
Kansas City. After such a hearing
is held. either the CITY or the street
railway company may take their
troubles to the court for final re-
view. 49, f.
80 Topeka Case Under p. U. @. e..
No direct bearing on the Topeka
rate case is Contained in todays de-
cision. >, The Topeka Railway COM
pany Is preparing an application
which will be filed with the state
commission asking for approval Of a
six cent fare. The local railway COM
pany, however, operates in the cities
of Topeka and Oakland. For that
reason its case is within the juris-
diction of the state commission un-
der the statutes.
In the Kansas City case, the re-
straining order against the state
commission was sought on the
grounds that it was zone city util-
ity. BY this interpretation, the city
sought to regulate the rate question
by local authority

''STIR UP PEOPLE"

(COnunusd from rage one,
fore in reports of the case was re-
vealed today by Mrs. Wood. She as
serted on the stand that Doctor Phil
lips at one point in his sermon stated
that for once the old fellow is right
he said America is money mad"
Mrs. Wood testified that the remark
was made while Phillips was speaking
of the German kaiser.
Stir Up the People.
Asked about a remark dropped by
c. J. Evans when he abruptly rose and
left the Sunday night meeting, Mrs
Wood declared that Mr.. Evans said
the utterances of Doctor Phillips were
almost treason"
Mrs. Wood testified that in a teIe-
phone interview she had with Preach
er Phillips after the sermon that
PhlIllps said, Il will feel that have
been very successful il stir the peo-
pie up"
When the attorney for tbs defense
TOOK the witness he questioned her re-
garding the statement Mrs. Wood at
tributed to Phillips regarding the fact
tnat the people of this nation must
humble themselves in the dust of re-
pentance before the war will end !"
robert Stone, the attorney for the de-
1ense, cited the proclamation of the
president declaring May 80 as Decor
alton day and asked Mrs. Wood If the
PAocldndtlon dld not embOdy the same
statement as Mrs. Wood had credited
10 Philips as an evidence of disloyalty.
C. J. Evans Left Meeting.
Mrs. c. J. Evans, called as a gov
eminent witness, corroborated the
testimony given by Mrs. Wood and
stated that the impression she took
away from the sermon August IA
was that DIR. Phillips painted God as
a god of vengeance" Mrs. Evans
stated that Mr.. Evans left the union
meeting Sunday evening because he
said it was treason and he couldn't
stand 1t any longer"
Miss Lena Baxter, q school teacher
called by the government, added little
to previous testimony. She stated that
in my opinion DR.. Phillips justified
the cutting off of the hands of Belgian
children as a repayment for the mutt
lations committed ON the children of
the Congo by the BeIgians." Miss
Baxter also explained that she heard
Mr.. Evans make his remarks in re-
gard to the sermon being treason"
The first witness called by the de-
Tense was the defendant. Up to the
time a recess was called for lunch
shortly after noon today, Phillips's
testimony dealt solely with his life in
Egypt and his trip across the Pacific
on his way back to America.

HOTELS MUST BE GOOD
Capital Issues Committee To Keep
Eye on Rental Prof1teering.


Washington, Aug. 2s. Drastic
steps have been taken by the capital
issues committee of the treasury de-
partment to thwart profiteering in
rentals and in hotel tariffs, it was
learned here today. At the same
time, it was learned measures were
under consideration which will check
exorbitant profits in other lines by
limiting funds which could be COM
manded.
Ratification of rates of hotels and
apartment houses in half dozen cities
including the national capital. has
been refused by the committee be-
cause the corporations seeking funds
would not submit schedules of prices
to be charged. The committees ac-
ton has set adrift the construction
of one large apartment hotel in New
York, one in Washington and a SINH
far project in Chicago, 1t was stated
officially today.
Numerous small propositions have
had to wait the wars termination
because funds were not available after
the capital issues committee were not
furnished with rental schedules.
Altho no official confirmation could
be had, it was reported the committee
might withhold its approval of loans
to finance the handling of food stuffs
in large quantities unless Information
is provided on profits to be gained.
The committee had no power to
check the profiteering except thru
its refusal to approve loans. But thru
its advisory committees in each fed
eral reserve district it could obtain
first hand information, and there
fore Is in position to force out
blood money grafters-
