CURRENT DOES
REMARKABLE STUNT.

During an electrical storm which
prevailed Friday night the high ten
sion current which provides Paris
with light and power did some wierd
stunts. In some way the current
became reversed, causing motors
operating machinery to run back
wards, reversing the usual order of
things.
The popularity was particularly
noticeable on acknowledgements
passenger elevators. The operators
were greatly surprised when desir-
ing to ascend, to find the elevators
going down, and vice versa. At one
business house the elevator instead
of going to the lower floor from the
second story, as desired by the pro-
prietor, rapidly assembled until it
reached the hosting apparatus near
the roof, humping into the big drur,
with resoundirg crash and scatter
ing the contents of several paint
buckets over surrounding territory.
The occupant was somewhat
frightened but uninjured. Linemer
soon got matters Strengthened out,
and The motors resumed their nor

G4PTZP CLASS

Two petitions for increases on
the Illinois lines OF the company
one for an emergency Scent fare
to be effective July 10, and the 9TH
er for q permanent 10-cent fare
which was asked to be granted aft
er the commission had fully inves-
tigated-were filed today with the
Illinois public utilities commission
by the Tri-City Railway company,
President B. J. Denman, Vice Pres
ident Richard Shadelee, General
Manager J. G. Huntoon and Attor-
ney William Chamberlain, having
gone to Chicago early this morning
for that purpose.
In q long distance conversation
with the Davenport Offices of the
company this afternoon, Mr.. Dem
man stated that the two petitions
had been filed with the commission,
and that II was expected that a
hearing on the emergency or Scent
fare proposal would be held next
week.
In presenting the emergency Pc
tidon and asking that it take ef-
feet by July 10, the company Off
cials contended that with the in
crease in wages granted the street
car men, the company was losing
money every day, and that some
immediate relief, such as the grant
ing Of an Scent fare, was neces-
sary for the company to. continue
operation, until the commission
could find time to do the usual in
vestigation and hold the customary
hearings before granting the 10
cent fare asked for in the other
petition.
Straight Scent Rate.

the emergency Scent fare be .
straight cash rate, but that the
permanent one, which provides for
q 10-cent fare, should carry q pro-
viso for special rate Of three
tickets for 25 cents, for the relief
OF the regular passengers.
1t was stated by officials Of the
railway company today that while
they could not operate their cars
on the Illinois lines on the 7-cent
fare basis after July 10, they would
continue to do so in Davenport be-
cause of the court injunction
against them. What measures Of
relief would be sought from the
loss which they state is being in
CURED by operation of the cars on
a 7-cent fare in Davenport are not
known, as the company officials
state they do not know lust what
action will be taken"
Should the increase asked be
granted, the patrons of the street
car company in Rock Island, Mo
line, East Moline and Silvis, will
be paying an Scent. or 10-cent fare
while those Of Davenport are en-
joying the 7-cent rate, unless, in
the meantime. the company has OBJ
tanned some relief, which, it is ad-
mitted, does not seem likely at
present.
According to Information COM
ing from the Davenport Offices Of
the company, the officials and attor-
neys worked until II o'clock last
night in completing the two peti-
tions, and early this morning
caught a train for Chicago. where
they were presented to the public
utilities commission today.
