Special to Times Republican,
Nevada, Aug. 1.-THE Iowa Public
Service Company, which concern fur
nishes gas for the cities of Ames
and Nevada, has been granted relief
by Judge III. E. Fry, of Boone, in a
decree which was filed on Monday
evening. The decision ,enjoined the
city of Ames from enforcing it's
franchise rates. and permits the pub
lie utility company to charge in
creased rates, pending the final hear
ing of the case.
Under the old franchise the COM
pany has been charging all users OF
gas In ordinary amounts $1.75 per
thousand cubic feet, with so cents
readiness to-serve charge, subject to
discount Of 10 cents per thousand
when bills are paid by the 10th of
the month.
In their pleadings for relief and a
temporary injunction the company
asked for a net rate Of $3.50 per
thousand cubic feet for all users OF
5000 cubic feet or less, $40 for all
users of 5000 and less than 10000,
and $2.20 from all users Of 10000
cubic feet or over.

may collect $2.S5 per thousand cubic
feet for all users Of less than 5000
cubic feet, with a discount of 10
cents per thousand upon payment

users of 5000 and up to 10000, with
a Is cents per thousand discount, and
$2.05 for users Of over. 10000 with a
10 cents per thousand discount.
All sums collected under this order

TWO CENT FARE FOR ILLINOIS.
State Rail Commission Refuses e
Set Aside State Law.

State Rail Commission Refuses 70
Set Aside State Law.
Chicago, Aug. .11.-Unless action Is
taken by the Legislature toward re-
pealing the Illinois transportation act
and the granting to the public utili-
ties commission Of Jurisdiction over
railroad rates within the state, rail-
road fare In Illinois automatically will
revert to cents a mile on Sept. /.
This is the date the roads emerge
from under control Of the federal
wartime transportation act.
The utilities commission yesterday
refused the request Of the railroads
for an increase to 3.6 cents mile on
the ground that 1t lacked jurisdiction
to nullify the Illinois transportation
law. This act fixes the legal rate Of
railroad fare in Illinois at cents a
mile.
According to tho order issued by
the commission, the federal transpor-
tation act grants the power Of fix
ing both intrastate and Interstate
fares to the interstate commission
until Sept. 1, 1920. when the federal
transportation act ceases to be in ef-
feet.
The next step il up to the roads,
which will undoubtedly take the ques-
ton into the courts and before the
interstate commerce commission in
an effort to obtain an affirmative de-
cision on the continued transportata-
ton rates Of 3 cents q mile now be-
ing charged, as well as In the further
increase OF IS Of = cent mile granted
recently by the interstate commerce
commission.

STOLEN AUTO RECOVERED.
Car Belonging to Toledo Man Found
at Waterloo-Thiev Arrested.

Waterloo, Aug. 1.-THE arrest of
two men Sunday night by the Water
loo police, as they were entering a
car stolen at Toledo, Iowa. was given
added Importance yesterday after
noon when E. M. Flattery, chief of
police at Fort Dodge, identified one
OF the men as William Randolph
who was bound over to the grand
jury in Webster county a week ago
on charge Of stealing an auto
mobile at Glidden. He was released
under $1,000 bonds.
Chief Flattery is here attending
the chief Of police convention, and
when he heard of the arrest of the al
legged automobile thieves, he went to
the city jail to look them over. He
instantly recognized Randolph, althc
the man had given his name as
Frank Johnson and Sioux City as his
home.
The Fort Dodge chief says he per-
sonally made the arrest Of Randolph,
"a week ago Monday. His wife and
father who live in Omaha, came to
his rescue. He had about $500 on
his person and the father furnished
the balance Of the bond money. which
he claimed he had to raise upon
little home. The party went to- Mar
shalltown, and it is said Randolph
deserted his wife there. He Is about
35 years of age. He claims he did
not steal the car, but has not indi-
Gated his defense.
The owner OF the car which was
intercepted here arrived in Waterloo
from Toledo and identified it as his
property. 1t was turned over to him
and he, returned to his home. where
he will swear out warrant for the
two men involved In the theft. The
sheriff Of Tama county probably will
arrive soon to take the men into
custody.

Des Moines, Aug 1.-Two court
decisions have recently been render.
ed in the state Of New York bearing
on the question which the Iowa state
board of railroad comm issioners Is
facing-that Is, whether the 2-cent
fare law on intrastate passenger
traffic will be in force and effect
after Sep. l.
A 2-cent fare law was in force in
New York between Albany and Buff
falo before the war but was sus-
pended for higher rate when the
government took control of the roads
Now the question Is whether or not
this old state law will be In effect
Sept. l.. The United States court of
appeals for the second district of
New York held that the rates were
merely suspended by the transpor-
tation act and that they will again
F'be in effect on and after Sept. /.
On the other hand Justice Human.
of the supreme court OF New York,
has handed down an opinion directly
opposite to that given by the United
States supreme court. The public
service commission OF New York
brought suit to compel the restora-
ton of the 2-cent fare fixed by the
New York law and the, high court
decided against the commission.
The Iowa commissioners have held
to the view that the 2-cent passen-
ger fare in Iowa will again be in
force Sept. /. The railroads are con-
testing this position.
New Rates Filed.
Representatives of railroads oper-
ating in Iowa have filed with the Iowa
commission their schedule Of rates on
intrastate traffic which provide a 35
per cent increase on freight rates
and a 20 per cent increase in pas
senger rates. One hearing has al
ready been held by the commission
and another will be held Tuesday
| Aug. 18th. The Iowa commission is
favorable to an increase in freight
rates but holds that the two cent
fare law will govern in the matter
| OF passenger fares. The increases
asked for by the railroads on in
trastate rates are In harmony with
the increase in interstate rates.
| The New York Central railroad has
filed with the interstate commerce
commission a petition alleging tina,
| the 2-cent fare rate which the de-
ctsion OF the United States court OF
appeals orders restored is unjust
and discriminatory and asking tina,
an investigation be held by the com
mission on this proposed reinstate-
ment OF the old 2-cent fare.

Des Moines, Aug. 11.-Sugar prices
here have dropped to 20 cents per
pound with a prospect for "a further
decline. according to local whole-
salers. The public is credited with
being largely responsible for the de-
cline in price and the failure Of sugar
spectators to sell any large quantity
of sugar at the extreme price OF 80
cents. The public held on buying
until the Spectators were forced to
make a cut in prices to sell their
sugar.
The California sugar beet renners
