COURT CALLS SLUR
ON "GASLOGIC" MEAN
Judge Hand Reproves Counsel for
Reference to Cost of
Magazine.

"a mean, cheese-p pairing attack for a
great municipality to indulge in" was
the opinion expressed by Federal Judge
Learned Hand to-day when Wilbur
Chambers, for the Attorney General.
made the expense OF publishing Gas
Logic an issue in his argument that gas
prices should not be increased.
Mr.. Chambers declared the Gilbert re-
port. which holds the SO-cent gas law
unconstitutional because conhscatory.
should be thrown out because Mr. Gilbert
admitted the printed testimony OF three
officials of the company who had died
since testifying, and the defense, which
includes the Attorney General, District
Attorney and Public Service Commits
sion. had no opportunity to examine
them.
Corporation Counsel O'Brein opened
his argument with a general impeach-
ment of Special Master Gilbert to whom
he referred as harboring IAN inherent
and iconoclAstic spirit and a high re-
gard for high cost of living and a sneer-
ing attitude in his references to the de-
cisions of courts" The trial often re-
solved itself into a debate between the
witness and the Master, O'Brein said.

HIGHER CAR FARES
TO Be ASKED ON
SOME B. R. I. LINES
Announcement by Receiver
Follows Court Decision on
Powers of P. S. G.

Lindsey NJ, Garrison, Receiver for
the B. r. T. and Brooklyn City Rail-
road Company lines, 1 ma statement
to-day announced that he would
make application for fare increases
for those companies which the decis-
ion OF the Court Of Appeals. announ-
ced yesterday holds are under the
jurisdiction of the Public Service
Commission.
After reviewing the decision Of the
court, Receiver Garrison said:
IT shall Immediately comply with
the privilege extended to me by tho
court and present to the Public Ser
vice Commission a proper application
for action in respect of the franchises
that the court holds the Public Service
Commission has Jurisdiction over.
"Of course, the opinion of the court
only dealt with surface line COM
panies, because it was only appllca-
tions of surface line companies that
were under review. The decision,
therefore does not directly affect the
subway or elevated lines.
"All but few of the franchises OF
the three surface line companies arc
held to be within the Jurisdiction OF
the Public Service Commission by his
decision"
The court decision upheld the
stand Of the city authorities in the
scent fare fight. 1t held that the
Public Service Commission has no
authority to release a railway COM
pany from obligations it undertook
to charge only a 5-cent fare agreed
upon in contracts with municipal au-
thorities as a franchise condition. Tho
decision means that subway and sur
face carfares will remain at cents
! for an indefinite time.
Further litigation may be expected,
but 1t is not believed 1t can affect
materially the ruling that the fare
will remain unchanged for the great
body Of city passengers.
TN all its main contentious the
city has been upheld by the Court OF
Appeals" Assistant Corporation
Counsel OBrien said to-day. THE
Court of Appeals has reafflrmed Its

HE WASHES DISHES
Aronson Asks Surrogate for Aid in
Finishing College With
@ out Labor.

Moses Aronson, whose father left him
$4,000 on condition that he remained
loyal to the Jewish faith and married
a girl Of that faith. to-day petitioned
Surrogate Cohalan to solve tho knotty
problems which the conditions of this
will occasion.
Moses said that despite his wealth,
he would have to work his way back
to Berkeley, Cal, and finish his college
course there by washing dishes and
waiting on table unless at least $500 n
year from his inheritance was available
TO him. He said he washed dishes there
last year.
He declared he had no intention OF
violating his fathers injunctions, but
that, at present, he has no thought OF
marrying. Meanwhile. his fathers con-
ditions tie up his inheritance.
Surrogate Cohalan reserved his de-
Cision.

work is done for the day, except for
a brief summary. which he scribbles
on his way to The EveAing World

The first two paragraphs in John

something this way:
l. If a Yankee is beaten It is be-
cause he has not been as true a
Yankee as he should have been.
2. Fair play, Yankee or no Yankee.
John II. Spears retired to his home
in the woods near Little Falls several
years ago to live in the open as much
as his literary work would let him
and enjoy himself with his son. Ray
mond, also a noted writer on all out
doors. But the merest whisper OF an
invitation to see the yacht races for
the benefit of the readers of The Eve
ming World brings him roaring out OF
the woods like the six-foot boy that
he is, fifty Of his seventy years left

Washington, Jan. 2S, Associated Press. l-Henry Fletcher has resigned as United States am nbassador to Mex ico to take effect in the course of the next few weeks.
 MT. Fletcher's friends say he is con- Vinced that q continuation of the ef- forts he has made during the four years in which he has held this inn portant post to bring the Carranza government into accord with the Washington government on the many irritating issues which have arisen would be futile.
 He tCrlairateS l 8 years of service in the diplomatic branch of the govern ment with great regret and without any particular plans for his future. FletcherS resignation was not hasti- ly determined upon and in fact last summer he sought to terminate his relations with the state departmen but was induced to remain in Wash ington to act as advisor to the secre- tary in matters relating not only to Mexico but to all Latin America
 Arnba ssador Fletcher returned from Mexico a year ago and the affairs of the embassy there since that time have been conducted by George T. Summerlin as charge d affaires
