Court Order Divorces
Eighth Avenue Car Line

Judge julius M. Mayer filed in the
Federal District Court yesterday an
order directing Job E. Hedges to sur
render the property of the Eighth Ave-
nue. Railroad Company. This order,
which formally separates the Eighth
Avenue line from the New York Rail-
ways system, is made on condition that
Receiver Hedges agrees that passen-
gers of both lines shall have the same
privileges as to rates and transfers as
if he were operating both.
This agreement is to remain in force
subject to the order of the Federal
courts. In case an agreement between
the two lines regarding fares and
charges proves impossible, the courts
will intervene and arbitrate, without
allowing appeal.
Transfer privileges between the
lines will be discontinued if the order
Of Public Service Commissioner Nixon
authorizing charge of cents for
transfers should not go into effect, the
order provides.

in charge Of the work and limit Of
$4,000 for all other employees
The Democrats, however, in order to
put the Republicans on record as try
ing to ec0nomize at the expense Of
wounded men, tried to defeat the rule
and force vote to overrule the
Presidents veto. This attempt was de-
fcated.
All efforts to amend the bill. how
ever, by increasing the $6,000,000 total
carried, in addition to S6,000.000 in the
deficiency bill already passed, failed.
Most of these were made by Represen-
tative Madden, of Illinos, who openly
clashed with Chairman Good Of the APP
preparations Committee. Representa-
tive Walsh, of Massachusetts, finally
objected that Representative Madden
was making dilatory motions. The
chair sustained the point of order. and
when Representative Madden appealed,
the House approved the ruling, 1888.
A spectacular feature of the days
fight was an attack on the Presidents
veto by Republican Leader Mondell,
the Missouri Representative paid a
tribute to President Wilson which
greatly pleased the Democratic side of
the House.
"The veto Of a great appropriation
bill having to do with important public
services because Of the possible INSULT
cheney Of a certain item to carry the
services provided for through the en-
tire year, is thing unheard Of" de-
clared Representative Mondell.
GAS the matter now stands, not an
activity provided for by this bill has
any authority of law, or has had any
since the first day of July. The White
House itself has, by reason of the veto
Of the bill, ceased to have any valid
provision for it's maintenance since the
first of July"
"The principal part of the speech of
the gentleman from Wyoming (Mr.
MondelD was a whine against the
President" declared Representative
Clark.
81 have not always agreed with the
President. When think he is right
I propose to support him, tooth and
nail. shall give him the benefit Of
the doubt every time as to whether he
is right or wrong. If he is palpably
wrong l shall fight him or any other
man that ever sits in the White House.
"Certainly the great Republican
party does not propose to reduce it
self simply to a concentrated crowl.
That is exactly what you are all doing,
The whole speech of the gentleman
from Wyoming was nothing but 2
growl-and he is getting to be the
greatest growler on the American con-
tinent, bar none.
"Anybody can find fault. That is
one of the easiest performances known
to men. Any ordinary plug can get out
with an ordinary telescope and find
spots on the sun. They are there,
they have always been, and always will
be.
"You can talk all you please about
spots upon the present President of
the United States, but Notwithstanding
the fact stands forth that by the ver-
dict of the civilized world he is the
foremost man in all the world"

State Troopers Quell
Strike Riots at Rome
Several Bags of l. W. W. Propa"
ganda Taken in Raids; Thirty
Ringleaders Arrested
Special Correspondence


ALBANY, July 15.-The strike that
has caused serious disorders in Rome
for several days can be traced largely
to Bolshevik and l. w. W. propaganda,
declared Major George A. Chandler,
superintendent Of the State Police, on
his return to Albany from Rome to-
night He went to Rome with the
sixty-fve state troopers, who quelled
the disturbances to-day.
1--WE raided several Of the houses
where the rioters congregated," he
said, "and found several bagsful of
|. w. w. propaganda, which we con-
fiscated. The documents declared that
the working people Of this country
have no chance to progress unless
they rise against the government.
Some of it was printed in Yiddish,
some in Italian and some in English. "
Major Chandler said that early this
morning the streets were crowded with
strikers in an ugly mood, but that the
troopers swept through them to clear
path. BY noon the disorders were
over, he said. Thirty ringleaders were
arrested and some Of the turbulent
rioters he said, were sent to the hos
pitals with bruised heads Because
OF the warning that the strikers in
tended to blow up the train on which
the troopers rode, he added, they were
detraincd at Utica and rode to Rome
on their horses.

To-day, Again Delaying
Prohibition Legislation
Ne.c York Tribune
WdShfn Uton Bureau


WASHINGTON, July 15-The House
spent seven hours to-day considering
a new sundry civil bill in lieu of the
measure vetoed by the President, and
after one of the bitterest wrangling
bouts of the present session adjourned
without taking action. The measure
will be taken up tomorrow, again de-
laying consideration of the Volstead
prohibition bill.
To-day's fight didn't centre about
any attempt to pass the bill over the
Presidents veto, but on the question
of how much money should be
appropriated for rehabilitation of
wounded soldiers. Agreement could
not be obtained on an increase, al
though amendments increasing the
original S6,0000OO to as much as $18,-
100000 were offered. A final wrangle
just before adjournment prevented the
recommittirg of the bill to the Ap-
preparations Committee.
Wilson's Ideas in Bill
When the House convened Chair
man Campbell of the Rules Commit
tee brought in a resolution asking
that a new bill framed by the Appro-
priations Committee be taken up by
the House. This bill practically met
all the Presidents objections by
granting a total of $12,0Ol,O00 for
rehabilitation. and acceded in the
main to the Presidents wishes re-
garding the salaries of rehabilitation
specialists. The only limits prescribed
were $4,000 for members Of the board

8O-Cent Gas Case Trial
Stayed by Federal Judge
City's Right to Intervene Will
Now Be Argued by Burr in
u. S. Supreme Court

Judge Martin 7. Manton, of the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals,
issued an order yesterday staying the
trial of the action brought by the Con-
solidated Gas Company to set. aside the
3o-cent gas law. The action was to
have begun yesterday before A. S. Gil
bert, the special master appointed by
Judge julius M. Mayer.
Corporation Counsel William P. Burr,
who defended the city in similar
case in 1905, applied for the order.
Its issuance gives him an opportunity
to bring before the United States
Supreme Court the question whether
the city has the right to intervene in
the suit brought by the gas company
to annul the law. The Corporation
Counsel contends that the law was en-
acted for the benefit of the people and
that they should be permitted to de-
fend it,
Officials of the Consolidated Gas
Company. who confessed that the move
was entirely unexpected, will make
every effort to have the STAY vacated

Woman Prosecutor
Tries Two Arrested
In Vice Crusade
Miss Rothenberg Loses One
Case and Wins Another
as Detective Takes Pris-
oner After Accosting Man

Miss Rose Rothenberg participated
in the trial of two cases in the Women's
Court yesterday, her first day on active
duty as Assistant District Attorney. One
of the cases resulted in an acquittal
and the other in q conviction, although
in both there was only the much talked
of "uncorroborated testimony" of the
police officer against the woman on
trial, showing that the testimony and
the manner Of the accused woman her
self are as vital factors in the conduct
OF a case as is the testimony of the
arresting officer.
Mrs. Mary Cullen won freedom for
herself by a performance on the wit
ness stand which Magistrate J. Bruce
Cobb, the presiding judge, described as
remarkable" She held the courtroom
tense with interest for half an hour
while Magistrate Cobb and Miss Roth
enberg cross-eXamined her but failed
to shake her composure.
Woman's Story Convinces
She was a quiet looking little wom-
an, in a long black coat. Her heavy
black hair was coiled in curly mass
at the back Of her head, and with her
pale face and quiet manner she might
have been a tiredout school teacher
answering the questions Of an rate
parent. Once she smiled wistfully into
Miss Rothenberg's eyes, and got re-
assuring smile in return.
According to her story, she was the
Janitor of an apartment house on Sec
ond Avenue. A strange man came to
her door on July 9 and handed her So,
saying: "This is from George" She
assumed it was money in part payment
of the rent from one of the tenants,
and took it from his hand. Immediate-
ly he whistled to another man, and the
two placed her under arrest for viola
tion of the tenement house act.
Asked by Magistrate Cobb why she
took the money without knowing from
whom it came, she said she was about
dog ran out into the hall barking, and
the man told her to keep still, as he
could hear nothing but the dog bark
ing. She said she did not give him a
receipt for the money, because he ar
rested her too soon.
Gets Benefit of Doubt
In pronouncing her not guilty Mag
istrate Cobb was careful to say that
he was making no reflection on the
integrity Of tie police officer who had
made the sariest, but that the defend
ants story was so convincing that he
was obliged to give her the benefit of
the doubt
In the second case, Miss Rothenberg
brought up the question which figured
largely in the Cohen-K Kobin case. name
", how the police officer knew the
woman had accosted the man rather
than that the man had accostet, the
woman.
Because she changed her course
from one side of the sidewalk to the
other when she met him." answered
Patrolman Williamson, who made the
arrest.

.Jobless Veterans Driven by
Hunger to Sacrifice the
Decorations That Prove

Little bronze crosses of Greek and
Maltese design hang from gay bits of
ribbon in the junk-filled windows Of
Bowery pawnshops.
Only few months ago regiments
presented arms as the decorations were
pinned by leaders of the Allied armies
upon American soldiers, mighty in war.
Now the crosses CLEAN in the dusty
clutter of bric-a-brac and household
furnishings that make up the bulk of
the pawnbrokers' unredeemed pledges.

under fire has been added the dreary
and tragic story of disillusionment and
hunger.

tion for heroism in the Argonne, sells

salable nature he had. He had to get

sold his cross.
In pawnshops about the Pennsylvania
and Grand Central stations moro crosses
are on sale, each speaking of dough-
boy who, after facing death abroad,
was confronted with starvation on COM
ing home.
Too Broud to Beg
They are a proud lot, most Of these
men who fought in France. Rather
than beg they will part at last with
their decorations. And once having
done so, shame keeps them from ever
confessing it.
In the government employment head
quarters at 505 Pearl Street yesterday
a husky ex-sergeant of the A. E. F.
made his usual call in search of a
job. Two crosses still dangled from his
breast, but with a shame e-faced ex-
preston he displayed, four pawn
tickets, representing everything else he
had that he could sell.
~ haven't got to selling these yet"
he said, and touched the decorations
on his breast.
Towsled and unshaven, the line of
desperate job seekers flows through
the bureau every day. Many of them
have waited so long for work that they
are too shabby to get it. To aid the
jobless doughboys, Major Warren Bige-
low, director Of the bureau, has found
ed special "spruceup department" to
give the men clean and decent ap-
pearance before they apply for work.
"The soldier who is down and out"
he said yesterday, "is not going to be
sent to job hungry, unshaven, shoes
not shined, clothes not pressed, linen
unwashed or minus a necktie. The men
will be advanced sufficient funds to
enable them to present a decent ap-
pearance. In return for the money they
are to tender notes Of honor which
is the only security required"

Trolley Companies
Win Point in Fight
For Higher Fares
Court of Appeals Decides
Public Service Commits
sion Is Not Bound by
Contracts With Cities

ALBANY, July ia victory for the
trolley companies Of the state in their
struggle for increased fares is seen
in the decision Of the Court Of Appeals,
handed down to-day in the famous In
ternational Railway case Of Buffalo.
The contention that the Public Ser
vice Commission has the right to regu-
late rates of fare, in spite Of contract
between the city and the company. is
unanimously upheld.
Many here declare this means the
commission may permit an increase in
the rates of any company in the state,
regardless of the city charter provision,
and that no longer will the companies
have to seek legislation, such as the
Carson Martin increase fare bill, which
caused bitter fight in the last ses-
sion Of the Legislature, ending in the
Thompson inquiry.
Hill Withholds Comment
Chairman Hill of the Public Service
Commission said tonight he would not
discuss the decision until he had had
time to read it carefully. A statement
from the commission, however, is ex-
has held that it has no jurisdiction in
cases where rates were fixed in con-
tracts between municipalities and troll
ley companies.
In this respect Judge Cardozo in his
opinion said:
"The source of the power to increase
them, the Legislature, surely did not
mean to withdraw from the commission
the power to reduce. If that is so. it
has not withdrawn the power to in
crease. We find in the Milburn agree
ment itself the same distinction be-
tween changes affecting transfers and
Ichanges affecting rates. BY the terms
Of that agreement the transfer charges
are abolished without reservation.
Rates are fixed Professionally, subject
to regulation by the Legislature
Neither the statute nor the consttu-
tion prohibits the exercise by the com
mission as the delegate of the Legis-
lature of the power thus reserved"
Agreement Held Not Final
In speaking more specifically of the
Buffalo case, Judge Cardoza declared:
Municipality and railroad have joined
in the declaration that the rate fixed
by their agreement shall be not final
but provisional. The need that was
foreseen as possible has arisen. In up
holding the jurisdiction of the commits
sion to deal with it, we do not override
the conditions of the franchise. So
far as the power Of the commission is
concerned the result is the same as
if no condition had been imposed
