PANIC AS TRAIN
FAILED To STOP
Express Speeds Into Station
While Passengers Are
Boarding Local Here.

About 800 people were thrown in
to a panic at the Central r. X. pas
scnger depot last night shortly after
10 o'clock, when a Pennsylvania ex-
press eastbound, came unawares
upon passengers boarding and get
ting of a Central train at the time.
The Central train No. IS. west
bound, which was due at 9:31 did
not come in until 1910. At this
time, an unusual number Of pas
sengers boarded the train which
was the last out to South Amboy
last night. when with just few
seconds warning, the Pennsylvania
express No. 1856. came upon them.
The engineer of the Pennsylvania
train first blew his whistle at Mar
ket street. but was going at great
rate of speed and was not able to
come to full stop until a little past
the steps of the depot and then only
by applying his emergency brakes.
Miraculously no one was hurt, al
though a large number. by .t>aning
across the tracks and standN-S still
between the two trains narrowly es-
capped death.
Nothing regarding the incident
was given out at the Pennsylvania
railroad depot today.

QUESTIONABLE
ON D. & R. CANAL
Sunday Closing Of Waterway
is Object Of Many Com
plants; No Better Progress

IT hardly think the Pennsylvania
railroad is any more justified in
closing up. the passenger station at
New Brunswick on Sunday" is a
quotation from a letter from the
president of one of the tTansporta-
tion lines operating a line of boats
between New York and Philadel-
phia, and this is the contention that
is made by other users of the Del
aware e Raritan canal.
Believing that the increase in the
traffic ON the canal due TO the con-
gestion on the railroads was taxing
the facilities of the canal company,
a questionable was sent out by the
Raritan Terminal and Waterways AS
sociation to companies and individ-
uals operating lines though the
canal, to determine. if possible.
what they thought of the service Of
fered through the waterway.
At the same time an inquiry was
made of the canal company as to its
point of view. This was brought out
in a letter from the assistant super
intendent reading: beg to advise
that the traffic offered is being han
died"
There seems to be a difference in
opinion as to what embraces sallS-
factory service since the companies
operating the different lines all COM
plain that the service does not meet
the demands that are made upon H.
Quoting from another letter from
one of the big shippers of Trenton.
il is said: Your inquiry regarding
the service is received and in reply
would say it is not satisfactory. The
canal needs dredging and the tow
path is full of weeds so high that
some of the captains who use mules
to tow their boats are compelled TO
wear gum boots, and there are
many holes in the banks tht are
hidden by the weeds. Something
ought to be done 10 remedy these
conditions"
Shippers in New York, who are
building up a good business that IS
passing through the Raritan river
and the Delaware and Raritan canal
feel that the canal company should
give better service. if it is possible.
and at the same time make needed
repairs TO the towpath as well as
dredge out the canal at point
where this is needed.
There is need for dredging of the
channel and the entire water front
of the canal at New Brunswick. and
yet the canal company officials thus
far have manifested little or no in
terest in making these needed i'm

S1.15 GAS RATE INADEQUATE
SUPREME COURT RULING
Man killed at steIton.

TRENTON. Aug. 9.-In his de-
cision rendered Saturday supreme
Court Justice Swayze held that the
rate of $1.15 per thousand cubic
feet of gas sold, allowed by the Public
Utility Commission recently to the
Elizabeth Town Gas Light Company
and the Crawford Gas Light Com
pany. is declared inadequate. The
companies had been charging a rate
of 80 cents and they asked for an
advance to $1.35, which the utility
board refused The big question in
volyed was whether the calculation
of the properties OF the companies
involved should be fixed as of the
normal times between 1911 and 1916.
or as of the abnormal prices OF the
last few years.
The utility board in reaching the
value of the property as a basis for
the rate to be charged by the COM
panies fixed the appraisement upon
the five years preceding 1916 II
was upon the unreasonableness OF
this that the companies appealed.
claiming that the prices from 1916
to 1920 should be taken for use IN
fixing the valuation Justice Swayze
ruled in favor of the later contention.
resulting in a victory for the CON-
panies against the cities they serve.
His decision is expected also to be
a guide for all future valuations
made by the utility board and means
that all public utilities in the state
can claim higher rates based upon
the higher valuations. In the case OF
the four gas companies the justice
approved the $1.15 rate which they
were allowed and further remands
their case back to the utility board
.'for re-hearing to determine how
much additional should be allowed"
