the Interstate commerce Commission
today ordered hearings at Chicago, Sep
tember 8. on the application Of Illinois
railroads to increase their intrastatc

passenger. Pullman. excess baggage and
milk rates. the roads predicatcd their
case upon corresponding advances in
intrastate rates and it had been an
nounced that If the state commissions
refused to grant corresponding advances

else it's authority under the transporta
tiOn act.
Commissioner McChord will conduct
the hearings at Chicago and report tC

a report said to back up Mayor
Moore's charges of misuse of city prep. =.

Mayor Moore and he promises a sensa .

The report was compiled by Or. II.

BY Tenth. Eleventh. Lombard and

been going on since John Arthur was
removed as chief Of the Bureau of City

The Mayors statement, in part, fol-
lows:
"The Mayor took the report away

publication until his return. IL Is
known, however. that City Solicitor

including Director Cavcn. have been ir
consultation with the Mayor for some
time concerning both the legal and
physical aspects of the problem of city
owned properties. and that apart from
the manner in which many of them were
acquired under the old political system
q real sensation is forthcoming con
cerping the use to which these proper
ties have been put
"On one or two occasions the Mayor
has been quoted as saying that the city
owned more than 500. 900 900 worth
fasscssed valueb of property and that
much of it was not needed for city
purposes. He has contended that the
city loses on both ends of the trans
action that il releases the property
owner from the payment Of taxes and
thus cuts down the city revenue, ant
that It is chargeable with loss on main
tepapce, aud that repairs upon un
profitable property become a heavy
charge upon the taxpayers.
"At recent conference of promincn
citizens. both men and women, thu
Mayor made some references to his in
quiries and said he hoped soon to max,

TRANSIT DECISION
DUE IN SEPTEMBER
Failure of Public Service Board
to Pass on p. r. T. Petition
Causes Speculation

Failure of the Public Service Com
mission to take action on the petition
Of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co.
for permission TO withdraw its increased
fare schedules has caused no end of
speculation regarding the transit con-
troversy.
The commission cannot act on the
company's petition until its next execu-
tive session. September I. Those who
profess to be Conversant with r r. L.
affairs say il was the company'S inten-
tion to withdraw its present petition
and substitute one which seeks higher
straight fare.
The commission acted favOrably on
the company's petition to abolish trans
fers on its surface line from Sixty
third to Sixty ninth street. Westbound
riders may reach Sixty ninth street at
the cost of a FIVE cent fare by using the
elevated line
On account Of heavy trading in Rapid
Transit stock during tho last few days
a report has been circulated that certain
local interests are acquiring the stock
for the purpose of gaining control oi
the company. This was denied by those
acquainted with transit affairs, who say
that those who are buying and selling
now are hoping to dodge the federal in
come tax.
James Gay Gordon. who has discussed
transit matters with the Mayor, called
at his office in City Hall today and
found Mr.. Moore was out of the city.
