TRENTON. July S.-Declaring
that it considers the order of the su-
preme court in the Public Service
Railway ten cent fare case not war;
ranted by the law. the State Board OF
Pubic Utility Commissioners today
issued a statement that it proposes
to appeal the case to the court of
errors and appeals. The supreme
court in an opinion by Justice Ser-
gen remanded the case back to the
Utility Board with instructions TO
order higher far than seven cents.
the board having denied the Public
Service Company any increase. The
stat board declared tEat it considers
the language used by the supreme
court urjustified and its reply is tart
IN ether respects. The statement
follows
1.-The Board of Utility Commission
ers proposes to take an appeal from
the order of the supreme court in
the application Of the Public Service
Railway Company FOR permission to
CT arge a ten-cent fare.
1.-The tcard considers the order of
the supreme court is not warranted
by the law in that it orders the board
to fix a rate higher than seven cents
upon the evidence heretofore sub
mitted. The board contends that the
courts power is prescribed by the
certiorari act and by chapter 100 of
the laws of 1918. The latter re-
stricts the courts power as to the
boards acts. to set aside any order
not based upon the evidence but does
not prohibit the consideration of ad-
ditional evidence.
"In the second place. the effect of
the order of the supreme court is to
legalize all the bond issues of the
Public Service Railway Company and
all the rentals paid to subsidiary
companies under leases. the value of
which has never been determined by
the Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners or the supreme court. 1t is
contended ~by many that these is
sues and rentals are based upon ex-
cessive capitalization and do not con-
stitute legal basis for fixing a rate
of fare.
"In the third place. the board is
now devoting all it's time and en-
ergy to an endeavor to arrive at
just and reasonable rate upon the
only fair basis upon which rates can
be determined, viz, upon considera-
ton of all the factors in a rate maxi
ing case including the valuation of
The company's property. and expects
to arrive at a determination by the
14th of this month as required by
statute.
1.-The court in its opinion refers to
the company as victim" of the
board. The board considers that the
language used by the supreme court
in this connection is unjustified. The
board entertains the same high con-
ception of it's duty as that actuating
the members of the court which
rendered the opinion in this case.
The board is of the opinion that the
question whether the fixation of a
Just and reasonable rate is a judicial
or a legislative function should be
definitely settled"

j. s. AND JAPAN
HOLD UPPARLEY
Still Await Replies from Two
Countries on Proposed In
ternational Conference. -.
canadian Press }

LONDON,,July S.-Prenier Lloyd
Georges statement concerning a
proposed international conference,
regarding which replies from Japan
and the United States were awaited
confirms the. announcements made
that such a conference would be
sought.
The proposal need not appear to
have been accepted at the time be-
cause there was some difficulty in
getting Pacific dominions to decide
on what ought to be done, although
it was evident the British govern
ment was. favorable to, such a step.
The idea grew and when at the be-
ginning of the conference. Premier
Meighen of Canada and Premier
Smuts of South Africa, advocated
such a gathering as a substitute for
an nglo-Japanese alliance, they met
with unanimous support.
What the replies of Japan and
the United States may be nobody
pretends to know. 1t is felt that in
sofar as the United States is con-
cerned, there would be a great
chance of its response being more
favorable if the Anglo-Japanese al
lance had been denounced. Should
it be found continued existence of
the alliance was standing in the way
of a conference, then it was GER
tain some of the dominion premiers
will press for the necessary twelve
months notice of denunciation being
given 1T once.

FOLLOW CLUES
IN BIC Theft I
Man Arrested at Metuchen
Taken BY U. S. Agents to
..... Brooklyn for Thefts.

L BY Evening News Staff Correspondent |
NEW BRUNSWICK, July s.
Herbert Mackie, a Brooklyn man
arrested in Metuchen recently in
connection with several thefts. was
taken from the county Jail to
Brooklyn this morning by govern
ment agents to investigate further
into statements made by Mackie
which. are thought to have some
connection with the platinum rob-
berries in Tennessee and possibly the
Eoessler e. Hasslacher platinum
robbery. Meyer Liebstein. another
man held in Brooklyn by the gov
ernment. pending investigation into
the Tennessee platinum case. has
made certain statements and 1t is
understood to be the intention of
the government officials to check up
the stories of the two men. There
is possibility. it is believed. of
learning where the stolen Tennes-
see platinum was disposed of. In
cidentally some trace of the stolen
r, & H. platinum might be found at
the same time.
While Ernest Tonghini, who is
now serving a term in the reforma-
lOTy III Will tiic lopbcis
of the r. & H. platinum, was in the
county Jail Mackie was with him
considerably. 1t has been reported
that Mackie considered him stool
pigeon" placed there by the prose-
cutor to get evidence against Mackie.
When the Brooklyn man was salts
fed that Tonghini was not seeking
evidence, it is reported, he made
some statements which would indi-
cate he knew something about the
Perth. Amboy chemical case.
Yesterday United States Marshal
Albert Bollschweiler served a paper
upon Sheriff Elmer Wyckoff de-
manding Mackie be turned over to
the government authorities for in
vestigation.
Samuel Bender, one of the three
Newark men arrested Monday at
Savin Rock. Conn. charged with
numerous safe robberies in and
about Newark and mentioned as
having been possibly implicated in
the Roessler & Hasslacher~ robbery,
is not connected with the Perth Ann
boy case in the opinion of County
Detective F'erd A. David who has
been looking into the case thorough
ly since Bender's arrest. Amy con-
nection Bender might have with the

PORT MATTERS
ARE DISCUSSED
Data Collected at N. Y. Ses-
sion to Be Submitted to
Legislatures.

Charles Mccormick of New Bruins
wick, represented this section yes
.erdSy at the meeting of the Advls-
ory Council OF the Port of New ork
authority, in place OF Jean DUBOIS OF
this city, who found it impossible to
be present.
Inc meeting was held to gather
data which is TO be submitted to the
New York and New Jersey legsila-
lures next January. This data covers
shipments of freight and other wat
erway and port figures which are of
interest in furthering the new port
idea.
Ex-Governor Smith of New York,
Chairman Outerbridge and Major
Church. formerly of General PERISH
ing's staff, explained some of the
aims. of the authority. 1t is desired
to unite representatives of civic as
iUciationS, chamber of commerce and
other interested bodies in deciding a
plan to develop the port and submit
t to the legislatures of the two
states.
Ex-Governor Smith stressed the
necessity of arousing public interest
in the movement for a better port,
calling attention to the fact by say
ing, IF there isn't healthy, vigorous
determination on the part of the
localities and the people generally to
make some change in the old fash
ioned dilapidated ways the figures
would amount to nothing"
More conferences to which cham
ber of commerce and other organi-
cations will be invited will be held

CASE Up
To ALDERMEN
So Says School Board. Cites
Ruling Given BY Commits
sioner in 1914.

The next step to be taken in or
der that the proposed addition to
the high school and a new grade
school might be built is now up to
the Board of Aldermen and not the
school board, President John X.
Sheehy stated when questioned as
to what action is to be expected over
the differences arising between the
members of the board of school es-
innate. The first meeting of the
board of school estimate at which
resolutions were passed favoring the
proposed projects and recommending
that the aldermen finance the work
was legal and it is now for the al
dermen to act on these resolutions,
members of the school board con-
tend.
The special meeting of the school
estimate board, called by Mayor Will
son to reconsider these resolutions
on the ground that they were not
properly drawn up. was illegal the
school board contends. and there
fore the action taken at that meet
ing to rescind the two resolutions
already passed was not lawful. Last
night the school board met but did
not discuss the question, it being
their opinion that the aldermen and
not their own body must next act.
President Sheehy of the school
board, who, together with Victor w.
Main are the school board members
of the board of school estimate,
voted against resembling the resolu-
tions, but the measure was passed
by the aye votes of Alderman-at- =
Large John N. Wester, Alderman
John Sofield and Mayor Wilson. Mr..
Sheehy contends that the meeting
was illegal in that the school board
did not request the mayor to call
any such meeting. He points to a
decision made by the state commits
sioner Of education in a case which
is somewhat similar, occurring in
1914.
The question asked the commits
sioner was: Can a legal meeting of
the board of school estimate be held
except in pursuance of request
from the boar of education?"
The answer given by the commits
sioner was: THE powers of the
board of school estimate are limited
to acting upon requests for appro-
priations by the board of education.
Having acted upon a request of the
board of education and adjourned,
it cannot reconvene until another
request is received" This case can
be found on Page 373 of the New
Jersey School. Laws the year of 1918.

(By Evening News Staff Correspondent ]
NEW BRUNSWICK. July 8:-Ef-
forts on the part of the County Board
of Freeho olders were launched yester-
day by the unanimous adoption of a
resolution to push the proposed pro-
iect for deeper waterways.
The body expressed themselves as
being in favor of government appro-
priations to carry on the work OF
deepening Raritan bay and river
hat the municipalities of the county
might derive benefit and also af-
ford better facilities for water COM
merce.
Though no statements were made
by the members of the board as to
their attitudes on the subject the
resolution which was passed without
comment of any description provides
that the senators and congressman of
che state be advised of the stand
taken by the county body, together
with the request that the New Jersey
members of the government legisla-
tive bodies give the appropriation
their support.
A committee consisting of three
women representing the taxpayers
living along River road. between
Highland Park and M1ddleSex Dor
ough. appeared before the board for
he purpose Of hearing the decision
OF the freeholders in reference to
bling the road surface as requested
1t the meeting last week.
The committee after learning that
the county finances were in no con-
dition to do the work this year. left
the meeting somewhat disappointed,
but with the threat that they would
make their votes count at the cleo
ton next November in way that
would insure the taxpayers of that
vicinity getting some Improvements
for the money they expended in
taxes.
Though the claim was made by
the women that they got nothing
in return for their taxes. it was
shown by data presented by County
Treasurer F.. William Hilker that
during the year 1921 the county's s
expenses in Piscataway township, in
which they reside, would be in
excess of $4,000, or just double the

LONDON, July 8.-Representa.

at Dublin today to continue convere
sation which it was hoped would de.
velop bases for peace negotiationG
which would end the era OF blood
shed prevailing in Ireland. s@'J,af
Everybody interested in the settle.
ment was anxiously waiting for new
but political writer's in morning pa
,ers seemed to be the prospec.
should be regarded more with hope
than faith.
This view was based largely on
belief that Eamon de Valera ad-s
hered unalterably to his demande
for establishment of an Irish repub-
lie and the British government az
well as Ulster took it's stand upon
the Irish act recently passed BY
British parliament. 1t was stated
Eard Middleton. South Irish uni on~
list leader, in London to ccnfer with
Lloyd George and Others, and who
returned to Dublin last night took.
with him an intimation that a, yll5l
tlenGnt must be in harmony WITH
the Irish act in accordance with
which the parliament was created.
Whether in the face of such attt-
| tude Mr.. de Valera would accept the
as doubtful. Where the more hope
full view was taken it was believed
Mr.. De Valera might reply with
contemporaries. This, according
to information. might take the form
of Mr.. de Valera insisting the gov
ernment put its cards on the table"
before disclosing his hand. 1t was
said he might maintain that as Mr.
Lloyd George proposed a conference
between Ulster. Southern Ireland and
the British government the onus OF
the situation was upon him.
Another view held was that Sim
Fein could not stand the financial
strain of prolonging the conflict and
therefore was disposed to come to
terms. In such event it was con-
tended a serious difficulty might arise
with the Catholic church in Ulster
which might resist partition that
would lace the power to legislate
upon educational subjects in the
hands of the North Irish parliament.
In view of the great diversity Of
reports it might be significant that
the Sim Fein parliament issued
statement warning the public against
unauthorized reports connected with
the situation.
King George received Sir James
Craig this morning.
