ALBANY, Jan. 2S.-The Second Dis
trict Public Service Commission an
nounced to-day that its counsel, at It's
direction, had served the complaint on
the New York Tclerhone Company in
the action for . mandamus or injunc-
tion restraining the company from
carrying out the order Of Postmaster
Bureson, which went into effect Jan
uary p.
The commission asks that during the
pcndency cf the action the company
be not permitted to collect any toll rates
m excess of those filed with the com
mission. 1t holds that the rates con-
tanned in the Burleson order are an
increase over those previously IN effect.
and, therefore, in violation Of the state
law, as they mad never been filed with
the commission.
The action has been brought before
supreme Court Justice William P

he will hear the Argument "to deter

Representative Madden put into testi-
mony two letters. One of these from
Clarence H. Mackay to Union NJ Beth

WILL PREVENT
 BIC INCREASE
 IN SUGAR PRICE:

Washington, Oct. 2O-steps to prevent an abnormal increase in the price of sugar because of the exist ing shortage were taken by the De- partment of Justice.
 Attorney General Palmer notified beet sugar refners, who have been withholding their products from the market until the price situation be- came more stabilized, that the Unit ed States Sugar Equalization Board had determined that ten cents was fair price to be charged the whole salers and that any charge in excess of that amount would be regarded in violation of the food control act.
 Refiners were asked to telegraph their concurrence in this price, which would mean that they would put their supply on the market innmed- lately thereby relieving the present stringency.
 =,. pEace to the wholesaler hereto rore has been nine cents, so that the new price means an increase of one cent a pound. Retailers have been allowed to charge Il cents a pound for controlled sugar under the old prices While the Department of Justice and the Sugar Board did not ctate what the new retail price would b. t vas assumed that the increase would rot be greater than the whole eale advance.

OFFER PROTEST AGAINST ZONE
 FARE SYSTEM
Alderman Believes City Should Oppose
 Increase.

Alderman Thomas O'Connor of the Sixth district, will tonight present resolution of protest to the common council against the operation of the Connecticut Company's zone fare sys- tenn in Bridgeport, at the meeting to- night.
 MT. O'Connor stated today that while he had not had the time to make full study of all of the effects of the system, he was convinced that the new arrangement would mean such a radical increase of fares that the city should take a stand against it.
 Mayor Wilson declined to comment on the zone fare system today, say ing that he had not yet completed study of what was proposed in the city.
 From indications given in com ments heard in Bridgeport today, the public Is opposed to the new plan and rits effects if it is adopted. and ap- proved will be far reaching, espe- cially in smaller places on the out skirts of the city, without frequent titney service to Bridgeport center.
 Tt looks as if the management Of the Connecticut company were delib- erately trying to wreck the trolley
  ite today in discussing the published schedule of zone fares.
 "In the cities of course, the jit- news will be used more than ever and suburbanites will travel by railroad wherever they have the opportunity and the stations are within reason able distance of their homes. Those residents of surrounding towns who are engag ged in the city and who do not own their own homes will move to the city where they can take ad- vantage of the cheap jitney service" !"
 Incidentally, the adjoining towns will be greatly damaged by the loss of residents and depreciation of property but of course the trolley managers don't care anything about that"
 Milford will be hit harder than any of the other surrounding towns The fare from Bridgeport to Milford has been boosted from 12 to 24 cents. The great injustice of this will be seen when it is understood that a com mutation ticket between Milford and Rridgepor for three months costs s12.1O while it will cost those who use the trolley for the same tme S3s.4O. There are more than 2.000 workers who reside in Milford and go to Bridgeport every day to work who will be hit very hard by the new scale unless they reside near enough to the station to commute
 There Is an adjourned town meet ing this evening at the town hall In Milford and 1t is believed that some sort of a protest will be voiced at the meeting and an attempt will be made to have some action taken.

Wilson's personal phy- sician, said otherwise the Presidents s condition was unchanged and indl- cated that the patient was more than holding his own.
 It was pointed out in White House circles that digestive ailments are the rule rather than the exception in cases troubles In addition IL was regarded as natural that in the case of the President that the lack of exercise would contribute to digestive disor- ders.
