COMMISSION SAYS JlTNEYS
 CANNOT REPLACE TRoLLEYs

When the public utilities commission last week announced reductions in trolley fares for the Connecticut Co. lines in the central and western part of fhe state it called attention to dis crim;natory taxes and public charge 5 against the street railway companies, and declared that unless taxation is lessened or subsidies granted there mutt he curtailment of service CT abandonment of lines in spafsely set tied territory. It declared street iail- way service to be essential, that jic- ne5s cannot take the place ,; tine trolley car, and stated that legislation is necessary for the relief of the com panies.
 The commission also said:
 Tt cannot be found from the facts presented that the present rates as whole will produce more revenue than the company is justly and legal ly entitled to, although such a con- clusion might theoretically be deduct | ed There is no question but that thu company must have more money thar 1 it was obtaining under the old rates and probably more than it will get un. | der the present rates, but in establish. ] ing higher rates for the purpose O. | producing increased revenues, the eff feet upon the public in tht usefulness and reasonableness of the service provided, as well as the interest of tn, company must be taken into consider atiop,-
 Concerning different rates on differ ent lines the commission has. this t l say: Tn our judgment it is not prac
 tical' or desirable, at the present tim under. the pending petitions, to segre gate the several lines of the compan
 for the purpose of establishing differ ent rates for the several different lines
 based upon the respective earning powr of each such line. The intercom I tnunity of social business and genera industrial relations of the state re
 quires that the paying should to great extent help support the non
 paying lines.
 The n-paying lines, howeve
 must of necessity have poorer or les
 frequent service, and careful traffi
 study of such lines should be mad
 with a view to-; limiting service i
 keeping with the reasonable traffi demand"

of Nomination

Washington, May 14--There is no
disposition among department If jus
tee officials to allow Eugene v Debs
to be formally notifed-of his nomina-

president.
This was clearly indicated tonight
after Attorney General Palmer had

Amnesty be granted all political pris-
oners including Debs, who is serving a
term at Atlanta.
The question of formally notifying
Debs of his election was not mentioned

the commission that the amount ~

and that more efficient handling of

Seeks to Prevent
Dissipation of
w. Va. Debt Fund

Protesting against the allowance OF
what he believes to be exorbitant fees
Claimed by members of the West Nir-
einia debt commission and the attor-
neys employed in the litigation. r. r.
Florance. an individual holder of a
block of the old bonds. has filed a
brief with Special Master Robert E,
Scott and requested permission to in
spect the various schedules of ex-
penses and allowances filed in the
case
While no final agreement on the
compensation to be allowed the mem
hers OF the debt commission has been
reached. IL is understood to be tenta =
lively agreed that the former mem
bers OF the legislature who sat on the
commission shall receive for their SER
vices $4,000 each. Randolph Har-
rison, of I-ynchburg. one OF the lead
ing counsel in the case, is to be allow
ed $4,000; Major William A An
derson former attorney-general, VS.
600 and State Insurance Commits
sioner Joseph Button. who served as
clerk OF the commission. $4,000.
Mr.. Florance lays stress on the point
that by joint resolution in 1900 and
1904 the general assembly provided
that whatever funds shall be paid out
for services rendered in connection
with the debt settlement shall come
out of funds to be supplied by West
Virginia, His clients he states, do not
think the fund paid over by West
Virginia should be dissipated by ex-
cessive allowances. The bonds. for
the payment of which s14, 900, 900 has
been deposited in court were bought
in enormous quantities many years
ago by English and Wall street
spectators in many instances, il is
said, as low as ten cents on the dol
lar. Brown Brothers of New York,
hold the bulk OF the bonds thus &C
quired.
Special Master Scott is making
efforts to have all Independent GER
tiicates deposited in order that the
expenses of the litigation may be
equitably distributed. 1t will prob
ably be some months before he makes
report to the court on the allow
ances to be made
