BUS MEN ATTACK
TROLLEY RIGHTS
Counsel Declares Violation Of
Kates Act Is Concern Of Pub
lie, Not Traction Lines


4, Newark, N. j.. July 27.--Assertions
that jitneys do not interfere with the
operation of trolley cars, that they are
not required by law to obtain fran
chises and that II is not the concern
of the Public Service Railway Co. IL
they do not comply with the provisions
of the Hates regulatory act marked the
reply Of bus owners yesterday to the
plea of the corporation that they be
restrained from operation. The answer
was made by Merritt Lane before Vice
Chancellor Griffin in Jersey City Mt
the continuation Of the injunction
hearing.
Mr.. Lane asked the court to strike
out the bill of complaint filed by Frank
Bergen, general counsel Of the com
pany, or failing that, to strike out part
of It. Mr.. Lane said his position, in
making this plea, was that insofar as
the Public Service charges interference
with the operation of street cars, the
bill is not specific enough, and that in :
sofar as it Is charged in the bill that
the jitneys are not being operated in
accordance with the provisions of the
Hates act it Is none of the railway
companys business. Mr.. Bergen de-
CldEeu tHul tht existence
the franchise of the company was in
volved. He stated it was within the
peculiar province of the court of
equity to protect corporations against
injury arising from usurpations Of
their privileges.
Mr.. Lane said that il it can be
proved that the iitncys are impeding
the progress Of street cars by remain
ing on the tracks the court has the
right to enioin their operation. Mr..
Lane said. further. that the Hates act
had been enacted for the benefit of the
public, and. therefore, only the public
has the right to ask that the act be
complied with.
Anybody can carry passengers in
competition with the Public Service,
he said. If the busses do not operate
in accordance with the regulations i'm
posed by the state, then they intlict an
injury upon the state and not upon
the Public Service, he argued.

Mrs. Delario and me in our own homes
and had US quaking in our boots in
fear Of our very lives!
Monsieur had managed Mrs. Delario
even better than he had me-he had
merely left u detective in her house
to watch her by day and lock her up
by night. In fact, she'd actually in
vited the detective in proof Of her in
nocence; for when monsieur had &C.
cused her of stealing jewels she saw
in her minds eye-just as l did-trin-
kets, jewelry; and the idea hat he
was referring to seven unset diamonds
Gagged in her slipper never entered her
head.

she told him with spirit, "and I now
insist that you convince yourself Of
my innocence before you leave the
house. Here is the key to my bed
room-here is the passkey to all the
other rooms. Have your man watch me
while You examine everything-every-
thing-and then you must get a wom-
an to search me-"
This unsolicited action, her fiat de-
NAL and his finding the slipper where
she'd carelessly dropped it in her ward
robe threw the scent on me. In two
