END TROLLEY FARE
ZONES, UNION ASKS
New Jersey Utility Board Asked
to Abolish Present
System
HARDSHIP, SAY EMPLOYEES

Newark, n. j.. Nov. 26.-Safety
justice and service demand the abolish
ment Of the fare zone system, spokes-
men for the trolley union told the utility
board today. Questions asked by L.
Edward Hermann. counsel for the CON
mission, indicated that the board is
about to compel the installation of
ticket issuing devices. with such
devices he asked, would there still
be objections?'
Il believe so. Anything that takes
up time is impractcable, answered
William G. Wepner, the union presi-
dent. He suggested that if the zone
scheme were retained fiat fare should
be charged every three zones, and the
first collection be on boarding the rear
platform.
Trolleymen Make Protest
Harry Jones, of Paterson. testified
that collisions between wagons and
troll ley cars had increased during Sep
tember and October and would likely
increase further in the winter months
as result of the extra work put on
motormen by the new system. He
pointed out the hardship and delay that
would be caused if the motorman had to
'uh' VII MS GlONtN every IpW Ull0UIpS
to issue zone checks.
The conductors objections are based
on the fact that they are now held
responsible for mistakes of the public
and motormen.
David Grotta, president of the New
ark Board of Trade, was permitted to
read a resolution accepted by the di .
rectors asking that the board safeguard
the public utilities of the state and
commencing the board for it's decisions
Mr.. Grotta said the public wanted
the utilities preserved and those who
opposed fair rates were notoriety seek =
ers. The board thanked him as part OF
the audience applauded.
testified:
Il could bring you to parts OF iIud
son county where forty men day don
pay fares. Cars have been wrecked
and the crews abused. Never have the
n:otormen and conductors been 50 abused
by the public. If the radicals had their
way there wouldn't be any cars run
ming today. The older men are all think
ing of quitting
MotOrman Tells of Troubles
The Public Service Railway took nc
part in the hearing The trolley men
were cross examined by Mr.. Hermann
aud the commissioners. Commissioner
Wright asked what the men thought
of a system whereby the passenger would
get on at the rear. tell the conductor
how far he was going, pay his fare aud
receive an Identification check, this
check to be surrendered when leaving
at the rear.
John Kramer, seventeen years q
notorman and a former instructor, sa;d
that he has refused to instruct since the
zone system went into effect. Like other
witnesses, Kramer testified that the
worry over changing zone checks and in
dicators was constantly on his mint
and hindercd the safe operation of the
car.

Villa Attempted Rescue

wa 'A'''iiip''' AhtH' w
While General Angeles was being
held in the state prison at Chihuahua
City persistent rumors of plan 10
rescue him reached the border. Ac-
cording to one report, Francisco Villa
was destroying trains south of Chihua
hua in order TO isolate General Manuel
NJ. Diegucz, federal commander of mill
tary operations in the north. in the
hope of forcing him TO release the
distinguished prisoner.
Angelcs'S last battle was fought No
vpmbcr ~ with state troops who had
discovered his small party in a cave on
a hill facing san Tome, Mexico.
General Angeles was famous as the
man who brought the French 70 milli-
meter gun to perfection and made it
admitted, the best piece of artillery
ordnance in the world.
Juarez. Mexico, Nov. 26.-CBy A.
P.D-Gcucral Angeles faced the firing
squad in Chihuahua City today, prais
ing America and Americans. He was
firmly convinced that the United States
had only the kindlest feeling toward
Mexico and its welfare, and he classed
the Villa raid against Columbus, New
Mexico. in 1915, as 'dastardly out
rage against friendly nation"
1--WE showed ourselves to the whole
world" General Angeles declared be-
fore the court martial which condemned
him, "that while the American is clear
in mind, body and environment, we arr
absolutely and eQuivocally opposite"
The noted revolutionist declared thai
General Pershing, whom the majority o
Mexicans had regarded merely as tres
passer on their soil, was one of thu
foremost generals of the day.
"The Mexican people always have
viewed with dislike and apprehension
the great American nation; always be
ing brought to believe their powerful
neighbors are harboring thoughts o
conquest. Nothing is more erroneous,
he said.

MAKES NEW OUTLINE MAP.
Coast and Geodetic Survey Com
pletes Work as Information Base.

: The United States coast and geo
detic survey has recently completed
a new outline map of the United
States on the Lambert conformal
=conic projection, scale LIS, 100000.
= This map is intended merely as a
base. to which may be added any kind
-of special information desired. The
Shore line is compiled from the most
recent coast and geodetic survey
charts. State names and boundaries
and the principal rivers. capitals and
largest cities in different states are
also embodied.
< This new map is of special interest,
tnasmuch as IL is made on the same
system of projection as that employed
by the armies of the allied forces in
the military operations in France. To
meet those requirements, and at the
request OF the Army. special publ
cations were prepared by the coast
and geodetic survey.
Tho Lambert project in this new
outline map, it is said, shows that
throughout the largest and most i'm
-portant parts of the United States
-4hat is, between latitude 80 degrees
and 40 degrees-the maximum scale
-error is only one-half of l per cent
: The map measures twenty five by
-ahirty-nine inches.
