CAPITAL STREET
 CAR CASE HEARD
Public Utilities Board Takes Proposed Rushton System
 Under AdviSement

Montgomery, March 11.-(speciaI.)- )- After long hearing the public service commission today took under advisement the petition of Ray Rushton, receiver of the Montgomery street car system, for the establishment of a service-at-cost system on the line which would remove the lines from the federal court, but would au- tomatically increase or decrease the cost of riding as the operating expenses Of the company decrease or increase.
 Mr. Rushton's proposal is a novelty for the south, though it is claimed it has been successful in northern states, es- pecially in Ohio. It is proposed that the car fare be increased from cents to 10 cents until an operating fund of s9OO, GOO is created after meeting other obli- cations of the company, and that when this operating fund has been created the fare be decreased l cent If the fund is brought down to s10Oo0O the fare must be increased again. The decrease or in- crease of this operating fund will act as governor of the rate of fare.
 The commission also took under aq- YiSeihtnI the petltlOn or the clLy or Dothan for convenience and necessity certificate for the construction of 4u- foot dam across the Choctawhatchee river at Chalker's bluff. The city has already voted bonds to the amount of S750,000 for the construction of hydro-electric plant at this site provided the state and fed- eral government grant permission.
 The petition of the city was opposed by the Houston Power company, which charged that it had already asked for similar certificate permitting the dam ing of the river few miles below the city's proposed site, and that if it should construct this dam the water would he so raised as to reduce the energy generated by the city's proposed plant. The com pany contended that the total power oD- tainable under the citys proposed sys tenn would not be sufficient to meet ln- terest and principal on the bond issue if the company's dam is permitted.

Dublin. March 1I.-Pedestrians pro- ceeding to their homes this evening witnessed an unusual incident in tAe heart of the city at o'clock when members of the Irish republican army tucked James McGee. salesman for a firm of Belfast drapers, in the Grand canal.
 McGee was taken from his lodgings Thursday by Irish volunteers and spirited to an unknown destination. He was held prisoner until this eve ming when he was brought to the canal pinioned in an automobile. He was taken from the machine dipped twice into the water and then tied to pest from which spectators later released him.
 The ducking of the salesman is said to have been only one incident of the campaign of the Irish republican army to tighten the trade boycott against Belfast.
