 ON GAR CASE
After Six Years Investiga- tion Increases Mileage
 Rates on Private Cars.

Washington, Aug. 22-After six years of investigation, hearings and the Interstate Commerce Commission today handed down a de- cision in the so-called private car case, holding that no additional charge shall be made for freight carried in refrigerator, tank, stock, heater, coal or other such privately owned car ex- cept where the. ordinary rate is based on transportation in another type of car cheaper to operate.
 Specifically an increase from three quarters to one cent a mile was al- lowed in the additional rate for tank, poultry and heater cars, to become eff fective Oct. Is, next. This increase does not apply to stock, coal, coke, rack, flat, boy or pocket cars, the additional rate on which remains at three quarters of cent a mile.
 Reicing of cars must be done by the carriers and the charges for this service must be based on actual cost with a reasonable percentage of profit.

It was thought that the post office force would be similarly affected, but upon inquiry being made it was dis covered that only about five per cent of the carriers would be liable under the conditions and that the clerks are automatically placed in a deferred class owing to the heavy drain al- ready made upon the service.
 When seen today about the matter Superintendent of Police John H. actly the number of men in my de- partment whp will qualify for the new draft under the IS to 45 age linn it's, but I am confident that fully 50 per cent. will be called, owing to the fact that large number are not mar ried and have no dependents in the strict sense of the word.
 There is chance, however, of some action being taken by the au- tborities to insure the safety of the public by placing policemen in a de- ferred class as letting them all go in the army would mean taking down the bars for the criminal class and a loss of protection for the community
 T understand that in New York they are having some difficulty in getting eligible men for the foree and the department has been eonsidera bly, depleted by the draft. Of course all the men are eager to go but it is a question whether it would be wise to denude the city of the force which protects life and property at all times"
 The Fire Department is in very much the same way as the police de- ! partment and it is thought that action will be taken in the near future tc place all firemen in deferred class so that property and life may be thoroughly protected against loss by | fire.
 Postmaster Charles F. Greene, wher
 seen about the question of the post of l fee clerks and letter carriers beins

 drain already made upon them, bu

ANNOYED. WOMEN MASON IS FINED
 $1OO AND COSTS
Impudent Italian Given Les son in City Court for I'm
 proper Conduct.

Patsy Mason, 20, described by the police as one of the incorigible Ital- ians who infest billiard and pool halls as we'll as hang around theatres, was arrested last night by Patrolman Edward Cole. He was charged with assaulting Madeline Gardiner in the Strand theatre. In the city court today Judge Wilder imposed fine of $100 and SIP costs.
 According to the testimony given in the case Mason sat in the chair behind Mrs. Gardiner, and continu- ously annoyed her by putting his feet up on her body. She demonstrated with him and he poured forth a vol ley of abuse, finally leaning over and striking her viciously in the face.
 Mrs. Gardiner complained to the management, who promptly had Ma son arrested. Mra Gardiner then went with him co opONs sir Headquarters after she had sent ~oN l to her home at 2 Beardsley I!ahe.
 When Mason was arraigned before the court today he struck his old time defiant attitude which wilted only when the judge pronounced his de- cision. Mrs. Gardiner was allowed to return to her home acquitted ot the charge of breach of the peace.
 Officials around headquarters were gratified at the heavy fine imposed upon Mason, whom they describe a. one of their greatest anxieties and ex. press the hope that the heavy fine vii serve as a deterrent to his future ac. ltivities along his old lines.
 It will be remembered that the las time Mason was in the lime light wal | when he accused Detective George | Washburn of using vile language tt him when he was placed under ar rest for gambling. His evidence fail ed to impress the court at that tim, and he was fined $25 and costs.
