after another. beginning with the Brown

Eight other buildings in the vicinity Of
Fayette city. including the Redstone
Methodist Episcopal Church, were fired.
but the majority OF the fires were ex-
tingulshed before gaining Roadway.
Eight OF the ten fires started were
In homes, leading the authorities to their
former belief that the arson ring Is seek
ing to terrorize in an effort to force
some end not yet discovered. First
attacks were made upon school houses.
The authorities are convinced that the
work Is being done b. an organized
gang of dozen or more. The homes
fired yesterday were those of George
Stark. Fred Dreyer Humphrey Mutt, c.
c. Lutz, Mrs. Ada Smith, John Jane
and John Hough.
In an effort to ferret out the real
motive behind the firing of certain resi-
dences, the authorities are endeavoring
to Narn whether the victims ever have
made any public utterance against radi-
calls or in favor OF compulsory education.
Originally attempts were due TO hatred
OF compulsory education which forbade
the young sons OF foreigners from work
ing in Fayette county mines. but subse-
quent events have indicated that a
deeper motive is behind the affair.
Radical literature was found near the
scene of a majority of the places fired.
1t is now accepted as fact that four
men are wanted in connection with the
thirty incendiary fires In Fayette,
Washington and Westmoreland counties,
which during the last few weeks have
destroyed schools, farm houses, dwell
ings, barns and mines. whose estimated
value is over s4.0o0,000. The incendl-
aries yesterday took a toll of three farm
dwellings,, one barn and five mine shacks

rary order yesterday against the Public
Service Commission. First and Second
districts. thei. counsel, and state At
torney-G General Charles D. Newton re-
stralning them from interfering In any
way with the New York Central Railroad
Company IN the collection OF the pas
senger rates ordered into effect by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. The
order to show cause Why the injunction
should not he made permanent Is re-
turnable December 81.
The new passenger rates on interstat
travel in New York, which were ordered
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
November Is, had been suspended
through the opposition Of the state au-
thorities up to last Saturday, when JUS
tice Hasbrouck of the Supreme Court
at Kingston vacated the temporary in
junction which had been brought against
the railroad.
The bill of complaint filed yesterday
by the railroads attorneys recited that
the company. which had inaugurated the
new fares Monday. was carrying out the
orders OF the Interstate Commerce Com
sion. and that there had been interfer-
ence and threats of interference on the
part OF the State Attorney-General and
the Public Service Commission.
The Federal Court, according TO the
claim OF the New York Central, has
jurisdiction over the litigation because
the railroad is q consolidated corpora
ton organized and existing under the
laws OF New York, Pennsylvania. Ohio
Illinois and Indiana and is a citizen of
each Of those States. The complaint
further states that the case involves
question under the Interstate Com
merce and the Transportation acts of
