ooks LIKE A JOKE.

Dear Social Corner Members: The sunshine is very welcome again, and people can hope to resume their work tilling the soil. / Sister Hink: Perhaps I am wrong but your letter seems more like a joke as one calling for ideas upon economy for some fun and to make merry. If I was ono of the lean kind should certainly like to board with you. The members of your family ought to lay on fat and fairly roll around like balls with the food averaging some less than $3 a day for each one.
 You are fortunate to get milk for less than eight cents a quart and wood at So a cord.

BRIDES FATHER FAILS WOULD REDUCE RENTS
TO PART NEWL YWEDS FOR TRANSIT COMPANY
United Business Mems Associa.
ton Thinks Underlying Con-
Germs Are Overpaid

Arguments for reduction of rentals
paid to underlying companies by the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
are being prepared by the United Busi-
ness Mems Association.
This move in the transit situation
here was announced by Edward Noppcl,
president of the association.
Under decisions by the higher
courts" he said. ''the Public Service
Commission can alter contracts entered
into by public utility corporations when
such an alteration will work to the bene
fit of the public.
1--WE believe that lowering of the
rentals now paid by the transit com
pany TO the underlying companies would
be the best possible solution of the
present financial problem of the tran
sit company. and would enable the
company to furnish better service and
maintain low fare. We intend -tC
press upon the Public Service Commits
sion the point that this is within theiI
power.
Samuel NJ. Clement. ,Jr.. public serv
ice commissioner. declined to discuss the
point raised by the business men.
When President Mitten. of the tran
sit company, appeared before Commits

could be abolished. it was Commissioner
Clement who remarked the commission
could alter the 1907 contract between

CAMDEN CONTINUES
z0NE-FARE FIGHT
Public Utility Commission Hear
ing Scheduled for Tomor-
row in Newark
FIGHT FOR FIVE-CENT FARE

Camden trolley boyCottcrs today are
looking forward to an early hearing on
their complaints by the Public Utility
Commission.
A request for n special hearing. ar
gued by +. G.. G. Bleakley. city counsel
of Camden. was reluctantly granted by
the commission. which is under heavy
fire because of the zone fare system.
Mr.. Bleaklcy will appear before the
commissioners at Newark tomorrow. A
time and place for the special hearing
then will be fixed. Camden officials
want the special hearing held in their
own city.
While Mr.. Bleakley was reopening the
zone fare question, Mayor Ellis. of
Camden. turned his attention on the
zone trolley terminals. "bull pens, as
they are known to the public.
There are two of these terminals in
Camdeu-at the Federal street ferry
and at Broadway and Morgan street
Passengers leaving the cars form in
lines and pass before cashiers. pay
ing their fares as they leave the ter
minal.
Now Mayor Ellis wants both tcrmI =
nails torn down He has ordered the
trolley company officials to show cause
why they should not be. The builders
of the terminal and street railway Of
fcials are to appear before Camden
City Council at 3 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.
From the day it was built. the ferry
terminal was branded as nuisance by
the public. 1t was declared that the
structure was built contrary to the
city's building laws. Persons passing
through that terminal are compelled to
dodge automobiles and other vehicles to
reach the ferry.
Many shop windows in Camden con
tain signs with the wording, "A five
cent fare or nothing" The earnest
ness of the boycott. it is said, has not
abated in the slightest. Even yester
days rain did not drive the boycotters
to the cars. They used jitneys instead.
According to city Counsel Bleakley
the Camden residents are going to fight
the zone fare battle out 'if it takes all
| winter.
The Public Service Corporations troll
ley receipts have dropped alarmingly
he said. Instead of taking in from
$1,000 to $1,000 day. only about $150C
or $4,000 is being collected

fort to separate his daughter from the

Mr.. Winesberger not only refused to
admit him. but also caused his arrest
for trespassing. Moss spent several
hours in a cell.
Social relations between Mr.. Wines
berger and his son in law were consid
erably strained at the hearing today i'll
spite of the courts formal introduction.

swered the bridegroom. '1'm a first
class machinist and I expect to get my
discharge from the navy in two or three
months"
At this point his mother in law
testified that she, too. believed Moss
could support her daughter.
"How long have you known her?'
"Seven months"
"Hm! Seven months. Well. that's
long enough" decided the magistrate
and dismissed the case.
