Authority Over State
Rail Rates i'm Question
Roads Argue U. 8. Has Jurisdic-
tion; States Insist on Re-
tanning Control

WASHINGTON. Oct 12.-Confiicting
opinions ms to authority Of tho Inter
state Commerce Commission to pre-
scribe railroad rates within a state
were presented to the commission to-
day by representatives Of the rail-
Roads and state commissions. The
hearings were on application Of the
roads Of New York and Illinois for an
order increasing intrastate fares to the
level Of the 20 per cent advance granted
for interstate traffic.
Spokesman for the railroads con-
tended that the transportation act
made the whole rate structure Of the
country matter for the consideration
OF the interstate body. State commits
sieners, however, argued that the com
mission WAS without authority to make
blanket increases in the traffic charges
that Congress did not broaden the
power Of the commission over intra-
state regulation.
The power Of the commission is not
confined to interstate rates, Alfred P
Thorn, general counsel for the Asso-
citation of Railway Executives, declared
in the closing argument FOR the roads
John 4. Benson, general solicitor Of
the Association Of Railway and Utili-
ties Commits ssions, contended that the
Supreme Court has established that
prior to the passage Of the transporta-
tion act Congress did not intend TO
interfere with statewide authority nor
to establish any unified authority over
state and interstate rates.

experts at the University Of Pennsyl-

told that the body OF thirteen months
olr child probably would disappear in
the time that has elapsed since the kid
impping of the child on June 9.
Confession Verified
One further detail Of the confession
was verified to-day when Captain Ger
nardt discovered the ashes of a fire
Pasquale said he had built to destroy
the clothing in which the child was
wrapped when it was abducted. The
charred ground was found about fifty
yards from the place whore pasquale
said he hurled the, body into the
Schuylkill River.
Pasqualc was arrested last summer
tor the murder of Mrs. Asher rman but
was released when twelve-year-old
BESSIE ferdman,! a granddaughter of
the slain woman, failed to identify
him. The child slept with Mrs. Asher
man on the night she was killed.
:, captain Gerhardt, in ordering the
diver to cease his efforts to recover
the body, said: "The case 1, finished
We have obtained everything possible
as the child's body has apparently dis
solved into the waters of the Schuyl-
kill"
George II. Courhlin, father Of the
child, said that he was greatly relieved
to at last know the real fate of his
son.
Pasquale will be given hearing next
week, according to District Attorney
Francis X. Renninger Mr.. Renninger
said that charges of first degree mur-
der. as we'll as Kidnapping, will be
made: The penalty for either crime
may be death.
The real object Of Pasquale in going
to Norristown was revealed by the au-
thorities to-day. They said that he in
tended robbng the money boxes on
the telephones in the stations of the
two railroad companies. 1t was said
that circumstances prevented his pilfer-
ing the coin boxes, and it was on his
return to this city that he was at
