ASKS ZONE FARES ON.
JERSEY TROLLEYS
Three Cents for Five Miles,
Two Cents for Succeeding
Miles Urged.

A three cent initial trolley fare Is the
basis Of one of three new propositions
placed before the New Jersey Utilities
Board in Newark yesterday by the Pub
lie Service Railway Company. The board
is expected to make an announcement
in this matter to-day.
President McCarter OF the company
appeared at one Of the boards hearings
on the Public Service application. fled
some time ago, to establish zones and
charge five cents for the initial mile.
one cent for each succeeding mile and
one cent for transfers. Mr.. McCarter
said the recent War Labor Boards rul-
ing granting the employees increased
wages and higher costs of coal has
meant expenses which could not be met
even under the five and one plan.
In its place the company now seeks
permission to establish one of these
three plans: A three cent fare for the
first mile, two cents for each succeeding
mile and no transfers issued; second,
increase the first zone to two miles,
charge FIVE cent fare for the first zone,
two cents for each succeeding mile and
one cent for transfers; third. fiat nine
cent rate Tor all rlues ana one cent
extra for transfers.
Mr.. McCarter asked that one of these
plans be authorized temporarily, from
September Is. 1t will take until then
to prepare the clerical and other ma
chinery to properly account the finances
under the new scheme. The present five
and one hearings are expected to con-
tinue beyond that date and 1t is the
comnany's hone to operate one of the
new plans so that Its results may be
observed and used by the board in COM
ing TO a final decision on the company's
revenues and its requirements.
At present the Public Service company
is charging a seven cent fare. with an
added cent for transfers. Mr.. McCarter
said that the increase in platform mems
wages IA costing the company an ad-
dItional u.175.000 and the higher coal
prices mean an added expenditure of
1900, 900 for this year. The seven cent
fare will not meet these extra expenses.

KAISER WILSON, SAID BERGER
Called "MakinE World Safe for
Democracy" Contemplate.

WASHINGTON, July-2s.-Victor L. Ber-
ger admitted to-day. before the special
committee investigating his right to a
seat In the House of Representatives
because of his conviction for violating
tho espionage act. that he had said "the
only war the Socialists want is a war
against our Administration II matters
not whether It is against Kaiser Wilson
or Kaiser Wilhelm. for one Is as bad as
the other"
Questioned further. Berger also ad-
mitted that in an address In New York
last month he had characterised the
phrase making the world safe for
democracy" as Contemplate" ana had
declared that X sent to the Federal
prison at Leavenworth he would carry
the red nag to the prison gate and then
call upon the young men to carry the
banner.
To-day's hearing was broken on sud
denly when members OF the committee
demonstrated with Mr.. Berger for his
long answers to questions.

CIothiers Deny Prohteerins.

That clothing producers generally
would welcome any move which might
lead to a sweeping Investigation by
the Government of alleged unduly high
prices and profiteering in the industry.
Is indicated by statements of prominent
manufacturers In this and other whole
sale markets. Clothing men say that
such an investigation would vindicate
present prices and record quotations for
fall, and would show that the clothing
manufacturing industry Is not taking adj
vantage of existing conditions to OBJ
tain the greatest profit in It's history"
as charged.
The wholesalers assert that profiteer-
ing Is an impossibility for the clothing
manufacturer under the present nacket
and add that an investigation of the
methods of manufacturers would dis
close the fact that they are operating
under a smaller margin of profit to-
day than at any previous time. They
point out that while the prices of many
commodities have gone up as high as
from 100 to 800 per cent, the average
clothing advance has been about so per-
cent.

CORN SELLS EASIER

Slow and Quiet.
CASH SITUATION STRONG
Oats Follows Action of Corn
and Provisions Are Less
Active Than Usual.
CASH SITUATION STRONG

After displaying n steady tone through
the greater part OF the session corn sold
easier in the last hour. The decline was
caused by liquidation. Trading was slow
and quiet. the race riots and street car
strike in Chicago keeping many away
from the Board OF Trade in that city. II
was purely a professional market, with
the weather again the dominating factor.
With the drought continuing and there
be 'ng little prospect of rain the trade can
see coming serious damage to the crop. But
still II Is Inclined to sit quiet and wait
little longer before taking more active
part in cereal operations. A little rain
fell over the belt, bnt not enough to
beneft the crop. Some are OF the opin-
ion that unless hot winds blow over the
area the crop can 60 another week with
out moisture IL necessary. State reports
tell OF alarming conditions. some bound
20 grow worse unless precipitation falls.
No serious deterioration has been re-
ported.
Traders point to the crop of last year.
which at this time suffered damage and
100000 bushels were lost, and wouldn't
be surprised IL that very thing happened
again. In fact, some are looking for
heavy damage unless rain falls within
very few days The cash situation was
strong, with increasing demand and
small stocks.
II. however, the crop does emerge from
the drought with little II any damage, II
must be remembered that the stocks are
small and will not be increased to any ex-
tent. The movement is being curtailed
by car shortage. The market Is In a SIT
uation that IL will sell on report OF
rains, as II is believed strongly that the
belt is going to get some precipitation
before 1t shall have gone too long with

There is nothing to give oats indepen-

Of oats are plentiful. and the country
continues to sell literally. while the cash
demand remains quiet There was re-

COURT KNOCKS OUT
WIRE WHEEL PATENT
Judge Hand Says Idea. Dates
Back to Leonardo da Vinci.

Because the hand of Leonardo da
Vinci had a way of straying from any
portrait he was painting to make a
sketch upon it's border Of some mechani-
cal device that was too early by several
centuries for practical application there
can be no monopoly by patent OF wire
wheels for automobiles In this day,
Judge Learned Hand In the United
States District Court dismissed yester-
day the suit brought by the Wire Wheel
Corporation of America against c. T.
Silver. Inc, in which infringement of the
wire wheel patents Of the plaintiff were
alleged.
Judge Hand decided that the claim
was void because of noninvention. He
held that II Is to the many sided genius
OF Da vincf that the world owes knowl-
edge OF a tension wheel which depends
for its rigidity upon the fact that the
hub may hang from above as well as
be supported from below. Successful
commercial exploitation Of an idea Is
not In itself proof of invention, said the
Court. Such success would support a
claim Of patent rights. he said, II the
device covered by the patent had new
features that eliminated the defects in
previous methods OF construction and
made II operate efficiently.
The Court pointed out that the earliest
automobiles built in this country had
wire wheels. The French style of
wooden artillery wheel displaced the
wire wheel and dominated the American
market until 1911 or 1912. Since then,
owing to the introduction of English
cars Of the highest quality and to en-
ergetic advertising. the wire wheel.
which had been Improved by methods
covered by the patent that figured in
this litigation, has become a powerful
factor in the automobile industry.
"No doubt the wire wheel as such al
ways had its advantages and Its apos-
ties" said the Court, "but its adoption
did aot depend upon some key to I'M
solved difficulties OF structure"

Assistant Secretary Roosevelt an
nounced to-day that the present COM
bined force Of $4,000 would be cut TO

Mr.. Roosevelt said 1900 men at the
Boston yard and 1000 at the Charleston,
s. c., yard had been laid of temporarily
and that permanent reductions would
be made soon. ...
Explaining that appropriations for
navy yards were made on a monthly
basis. Mr.. Roosevelt said some yards AL
ready had exhausted their appropria-
lions for this month and consequently
found 1t necessary to suspend some OF
their forces temporarily. He said the
reduction would work hardship because
the navy faced a gigantic task in re-
converting a large number Of former

sells used during the war.

A QUESTION important to mer-
~ chants has been decided In

Municipal Justice Lauer, in holding
that the owner of an apartment house

to say las a matter of judicial
knowledge that hall men and elevator

accept packages for tenants" and
that the service was more of an &C

Paterson worker. Di..ati.fed.

PATERSON, N. J., July EFT became
apparent to-day that the agreement
reached by the, SILK Manufacturers As
ISOLATION of this city and officers of the
United Textile Workers Of America to put
into effect forty-four hour week in the
silk industry here beginning October 10
is not satisfactory to the rank and file
Of the workers. the latter expressing a
desire that the shorter work week start
sooner.
Another complaint on the part of the
silk operatives is that John Golden, ma
tional president Thomas Mcmahon,
national vice-president. and James Starr,
the Paterson member Of the national ex-
ecutive committee, made the agreement
without 1t first being ratified by the vari-
Gus branch unions.
This dissatisfaction. together with the
announcement made to-day by the Anal
gamated Textile Workers of America, the
radical labor organization and rival of
the U. T. w. A, which is affiliated with
the A. f. L., that its members would
present demands tomorrow calling on
the manufacturers to put the forty-four
hour week into effect on August 4. other
wise they would go on strike, brings the
silk manufacturers and city face to face
with the problem of a possible strike
Gripping the silk industry and making
20, 900 to 10000 workers idle.
