FAST LINE RATE
BOOST ASKED
HbIic Service Wants New
Toll of Three Cents a Mile
in Request Filed.

A new rate of three cents mile.
to take effect Jan. /, 1921, was filed
yesterday by the Public Service Rail-
road company with the Public Util-
ity Commissioners. This new rate
is an increase of one-half cent per
mile over the present charge of two
and one-half cents a mile.
The Public Service company sub
mitted data to show that In oper-
ating the Trenton-Newark and Perth
Amboy-New fast lines their
revenue has failed to meet the oper-
ating expenses.
The data stated that the company
failed to meet its operating expenses
and fixed charges on the fast lines"
last year by over $4,000 while this
year il will fail to the extent of
about $69,l52. 1t estimates that the
new rate will cut this deficit to
about s11.550 in 1921 and that the
railroad. being a comparatively new
property Will by natural growth
wipe out the smaller deficit in two
or three years.
There are no disputed questions
or capitalization or valuation in
volved in the application as all the
outstanding stock and bonds of the
company were issued and sold with
the approval of the Utility Commits
sion and the value of the tangible
property of the company exceeds
the securities by half a million dol
lars. The figures are: Securities,
S2.326,650: appraised value of ply
steal property. s2,S32.S54.34.

Edmund Hayes, counsel for Law
renee Weber OF Highland Park and
indicted saloonkeepers from James

morning and pressed the legality of
Indictment under which these men

the county court has no jurisdiction

very plain that IL an effort is being
made to avoid payment of the fine,
the cases will be treated the same as
one where a man pleads not guilty
and is convicted by jury.
The court further stated that JUS
tice Bergen never said anything
about the county courts not having
jurisdiction, 1t is a misdemeanor to
sell liquor without a license. Judge
naly consented to allow Counselor
Hayes until Tuesday to look into the
matter. before bringing his clients
before the court.

STATEN ISLAND
FARE ATTACKED
Public Service Commission is
Doing All Possible to Pre-
vent Transit Fare Increase

That the Public Service Commits
sion of New York State is using all
its power to prevent the Staten
Island Rapid Transit railroad from
increasing it's fare over its lines,
was made known last night by Ed
ward ID. Hutchinson, supervisor of
the transportation bureau of the
commission at a conference at the
Office of James Laing, real estate
operator i'm Tottenville.
At the conference were Stuart l..
Ritz, president of the Tottenville
Branch of the Staten Island Civic
League, and Mr.. Laing. a member
of the transportation committee of
the civic league. Mr.. Hutchinson
came here for the purpose of secur-
ing data with regard to whether the
Staten Island Rapid Transit railroad
is an interstate line. This matter
will be presented in brief to Su-
preme Court. Justice Benedict, of
Brooklyn, tomorrow.
The data secured here is expect
ed to get a favorable decision for
the Public Service Commission to
stay the proceedings in the suit by
the commission to prevent the Stat
en- Island Rapid Transit to put the
raise into effect that they have PLAN
The railroad recently raised it's fares
from this city to all points on Staten
Island under the authorization Of
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion granting a twenty per cent. in
crease and now it seeks to extend
the same from all stations on the
island. This is the fight that the
Public Service Commission is put
ting up against the railroad. Mr..
Hutchinson is quite confident that
the commission will win it's point
and have the matter thrown out.
The action is brought by Attorney
General Newton of New York State
against sixty railroads operating in
the state. The proceedings were
argued against fifty-eight of the
railroads last week and Justice Has
brouck reserved decision. The Stat
en- Island Rapid Transit and the
Long Island railroad were the other
two that were not argued at that
time.

By Special Correspondent.
NEWARK. Dec. 10:-The hearing
before the Public Utility Commis-
sion yesterday in the case of the
Standard Gas Company of Atlantic
Highlands, which concern serves
twenty municipalities in Monmouth
county with gas, resulted in a legal
tilt when Joseph +. Stricken, the re-
ceiver for the company, refused to
be sworn as a witness in the discus
sion of the new schedule of rates.
Mr.. Stricken held that he is an OFF,
Ger of the court and that, in this
capacity. he was entirely within his
rights in advancing the charge for
gas. The case was taken before
Vice Chancellor Backes.
The vice chancellor said that he
would instruct the receiver to file a
new schedule and if the commission
insists upon its power to suspend,
the whole question will be formally
taken before the court in an appli-
cation for an order to restrain the
commission from interfering with
the action of an officer of the court.
The schedule prepared by the re-
ceiver calls for an increase from
S1.65 to $2.25 per 1000 cubic feet
of gas and a continuation of the
readiness s-to-serve charge of twenty
five cents month.
There will be a hearing before the
court December 81 on rule to show
cause why the receiver should not
be continued.

of serious crimes.
The government was regretfully
convinced that the section of the
Irish population which controlled
the organization of violence, mur-
der and outrage was not yet ready
for real peace namely for peace
which would accept the only basis
on which peace could be concluded
the united kingdom.
The communication of the com

ceived in the spirit of an indepen-
dent, belligerent power, Offering
peace to another independent bell
ligerent with whom they we're at
war and to whom they were in a
position to dictate. the premier said.
Therefore, the government has de-.
cided on a double policy.
On the one hand the government
felt. continued the premier. that 1t
had no option but to continue and
intensity its campaign against that
small but highly organized and des-
perate minority which was using
murder and outrage in order to at
tain the impossible, and which could
bring peace neither to Ireland nor
to Great Britain.
ON the other hand. the governa
ment, the premier declared would
open and encourage every channel
by which the forces In ireland.
which really were anxious for an
honorable settlement could find ex-
preston, and so lead TO negotiations
which would produce real and
lasting peace.
Safe conducts would not be
granted. the premier said. to those

Rehearing Ordered by State
Public Utility Commission
Fixes $1.40 for City.
AFFECTS LOCAL COMPANY
Rate of S1.15 Was Attacked
in Supreme Court by the
Elizabeth Gas Light Co.

BY The Associated Press.
TRENTON, Dec. 10:-Following a
re-hearing by the State Public Util-
tiles Commission ordered by the
supreme court. a rate of s1.40 per
thousand cubic feet for gas to
household consumers was allowed to
the Elizabethtown Gas Light Com
pany, the Crawford Gas Light Com
pany. the Metuchen Gas Light
Company and the Railway Gas
Light Company, to take the place
of a rate of s1.15 which was at
tackled in the court by the compa-
MES which had applied for S1.50
rate.
The report of May 12. last. which
was attacked in the court, allowed
the Elizabethtown Gas Light Com
pany to file wholesale gas rate for
serving the Perth Amboy Gas Light
Company. Crawford Gas Light Com
pany. Metuchen Gas Light Company
and Railway Gas Light Company of
sixty cents thousand cubic feet so
long as the companies were served
the same quantities of gas under
the same conditions as obtained
when the report was made. This
wholesale rate has been increased
TO seventy-six cents a thousand GU
bic feet. In addition to the rates
TO household consumers the other
retail rates of the companies in
volved have been increased.
The companies appealed the find
ings of the board as embodied in
the latter's report of May J2 to the
supreme court because they were
dissatisfied with the valuation and
rate of return allowed by the board.
The proceedings were remanded to
the board by the supreme court for
a re-hearing to determine how much
additional should be allowed the
companies, after which the new
rates were set by the board. The
new rates will go into effect for gas
consumed between the meter read
ings i'm November and December.
