that it's as difficult to become famous and not
have ones past life dug up and exposed to the

whether or not his mother ever kept ducks.

Say Extra Tax Amounts to
ExtOrtiOn.

Asserting the belief that the action Of
Public Service Commissioner Lewis
Nixon in issuing an order permitting the
street railway companies in the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit system to charge
cents for transfers was influenced by "a
preconceived bias in favor of higher
fares" Corporation Counsel William p
Burr filed yesterday an application
with the commission for a rehearing on
the order. A request to stay the enforce.
ment of the order pending rehearing
is also made.
According to a statement by the Cor
poration Counsel the commssion's or
der was not based upon proper and
competent proof of the necessity for the
transfer charge and that the alleged
bias in favor of the companies is indi-
Gated in the public statements of Com
missioner Nixon. The application for a
rehearing is based upon two premises
first, that In view of existing contract
obligations of the various companies in
the 3. r. T. system the commission Is
without jurisdiction to mako the order
and, second. that assuming, but without
admitting, that the commission has the
right to make the order, 1t can only bt
entered upon competent proof Of its
necessity being established.
The Corporation Counsel refers in his
memorandum to numerous complaints
that he says have been made to the
commission by passengers who complain
that illegal extortions are being prac.
ttsed upon them in the form of addition.
al transfer charges and, in some cases
additional full fares.

ran:

thus disclosed are the direct and inevita

ARBITRATION LIKELY |
ON MEXICO'S DEBT
Senators Told of Status Of
500, 200, 900 Madero Issue.

WAsHINoroN, Sept. 2s.-President
Carranza may ask for arbitration to
determine the present Mexican Govern
ment's responsibility with respect to a
bond issue of 200,000,000 pesos (s100.-
0,00O) authorized by the Madero Ad-
ministration and carried out by Huerta.
the Senate Committee investigating
Mexican affairs was told to-day by
Thomas r. Lil. New York financial
expert. Mr.. Lill and several other
Americans spent several months in
Mexico in 1917 and 1918 formulating
financial reforms for the Mexican Gov
ernment.
Mr.. Lii said the disposition of the
money obtained from the bond issue
and the circumstances surrounding its
fiotatlon were such that he regarded
Mexico's responsibility as debatable.
Sixty million of the 200, 900, 900 pesos
were sold in France and Belgium, he
said.
Total obligations of Mexico were
placed by the witness at 05,000, 900
pesos ($3O2, 500, ,000), exclusive of 170,-
600, 900 pesos in interest now due He
was reminded by Chairman Fall that
recently Luis Cabrera, Minister of
Finance. had fixed it at $1,000, 900, 900.
Mr. Lii said the ability of Mexico to
pay more than twenty-five or thirty
million pesos on her debt depended upon
financial assistance. If assisted and IL
her population doubled, Mexico might
be expected to pay a greater amount In
about ten years, he said.
