body. else. request that Mr.. Kohler

would order the Eighth avenue and
the Ninth avenue lines. turned back to
their original owners unless some ar
rangement could be made to provide for
the rentals Five minutes after the
entry OF the decree, he declared a five
cent fare would go into effect on each
line independent of transfers to any
other lines.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Kohler
questioned this statement, and was told
that Judge Mayer had so stated in open

appraisal of the value OF the companys

examine the witnesses.

as they gave on direct examination or
Monday. Mr.. Samuelson said that the
cost OF operation for 1919 would be So
100000 more than in 1915.
Commissioner Nixon said that without
committing himself he was willing tc
say that he thought about $50, 1000. 0OC

the property OF the company. Assistant
Corporation Counsel Koher said he
would assume for the purpose OF ar
gument that this was a fair valuation
but he wished to consider whether the
Public Service Commissioner had the
legal right to abolish free transfers.

| LONDON, March 24-The reyolu-
ton in Hungary has caused great ex-
citement in Vienna according Ito q
Vienna correspondent to - the Tele-
graph, who attributes the situation
to the failure of the Paris Peace Con-
ference to recognize the seriousness
of the situation and to occupy Buda-
lest with entente troops. He says
the only way to save the situation, is
to send American or British forces
there. : -
The question of barrier which the
peace intends to erect against the
spread of Bolsheyism, has come
sharply at the front as result of the
situation in Hungary where the Boil
shevist elements have seized power
and declared that state of war ex-
lists between Hungary and the En-
.tente. 1t is reported that important
military decisions might be taken at
the meeting of the Supreme Council
in Paris at four o'clock this afternoon.

to see him. When he was there he
talked about the war, The President
did not know who he was, but will
tell you, he was a German Spy. He
was looking around to find good
place to hide bomb. He found
place, up under the Presidents desk.
''The next day he came back with
the bomb. The president went out
a few minutes to see Secretary Bak-
er, which gave the Spy time enough
to hide the bomb. He set it for 4
o'clock and he left at $3.50 i o'clock
He was waiting for the explosion but
realized he had not wound it up, for
it was time bomb. He was caught
later. and told his story. All were
thankful that it did not go off; bes
