TR0LLEYFARE
ACTION MAR. "A
Jersey Central May Suspend
Service if Increase is
Not Granted

NEWPORT, March 10-Officials
II the Jersey Central Traction Com
oany will go before the Public Util-
ties Commission Tuesday, March
a. to present a petition asking for
| ten cent fare in each car zone
where now a seven cent fare is coll
lected. The company is asking for
this increase claiming 1t is operat-
ing at a loss, the deficit for last
year being 100000 according to
Superintendent William II. Hitch
cock of the Jersey Central Traction
Company.
Superintendent Hitchcock states
that if the increase is not granted
the matter of deciding whether cars
will be run here or not will be left
IN the hands of the executive offices
cf the company.
However, it is expected hat oppo-
Vition will be encountered. The
Jersey Central Traction Company
operates it's cars from Perth AM
boy to Red Bank and Highland
Beach and to maintain its tracks
alone is a great cost. At the present
time the company is facing the prob
lem of locating the tracks on Broad
way, and partially rebuilding same,
also relocating the tracks on the
bridge over Raritan river between
South and Perth Amboy.
Not only are the above eXpendi-
lures necessary, but the company is
facing the necessity of bridge re
pairing and reconstruction over its
W lines and that controlled by the
county and state, improvements of
the latter necessitating frequent
changing of the tracks which cost
enormous sums.
The matter was placed before the
mayor and council at the recent
melting, but was laid over until the
meeting Monday night for considera
ton and discussion. The company
was allowed by the Public Utilities
Commission to increase It's fare on
two occasions, that of from five to
six and from six to seven cents.
1t is expected that a delegation of
local taxpayers will attend the
hearing at Trenton, some in favor
and some against the movement.
The majority, however are in favor
CT the increase if with 1t the trolley
service is what it should be. If the
'aise is granted the new fare will be
N effect beginning March II.
The company is seriously consid-
sring the one man trolley cars which
.hey have already placed on the
inc between Matawan station and
Treneau.

SHREVEPORT TERRITORY
SHOWS PRODUCTION LOSS

Shreveport, La.-Declines all along
the line in number of producers, initial
producintion and daily average produc-
tion were recorded in the Shreveport
territory, including FL Dorado, Ark,
during the past week The daily aver
age production, with decreases in
Haynesville and Homer and small in
creases in all the other districts,
amounted to 121, 1,2S5 barrels, a de-
crease of 3,414 barrels for the week.
The weeks field record showed AT com
pletions, including two gassers, nine
failures and SO producers with com
bined initial yield of S,71S barrels, COM
pared with the preceding weeks rec
ord of 81 compilations, including eight
failures and 43 producing wells with
combined initial production of 1909
barrels. There was decline of IL in
number of completions, decline of
seven in number of producers and a de-
cline of 1881 barrels in initial pro
duction.
The principal cause mentioned for
the falling off in field results is the
weather. which was unusually unfavor-
able during the last week Twice there
were severe windstorms with heavy
downpour of rain, resulting in scores
of derricks being felled and other dam
age entailed and also causing some of
the drilling activities to be temporarily
suspended. The Haynesville field suf-
fered especially heavy losses in the
blowing down of derricks.

LONG GLOVES SUMMER STYLE
Slxteen-Button Length to Go With
Warm Weather Outfit; White
to Be Popular.

Long gloves or short for summer?
Styles of gowns make the styles Of
gloves. Therefore summer frocks will
demand the long 16-button length. The
sleeves on summer frocks are either
going to be very short, just a mere
suggestion Of sleeves or so long and
wide and sheer that they demand the
very long gloves anyway.
With maids and matrons of every
age becoming more and more enam-
CURED of the all-white costume as the
season progresses, the long white silk
glove will enjoy an unprecedented pop
ularity and will doubtless achieve a
state Of elaboration and originality Of
design never heretofore known.
There is novelty glove that
thoughtfully considers the woman
with the thin arms. The 16-button silk
glove is overlaid with two silk puffings
run with elastic. The elastic holds
the glove up on the arm and the puff
ings give a desirable fullness.
The bracelet glove is another 16-but-
ton novelty which has two en-
broidered bands in contrasting cOlors
at the wrist.

STRENGTH IS SHOWN
in COTTON MARKET
Buying on Condition Report
Tends to Send Up Active
Months.

New Orleans, La.-Although some
thing of a reactionary tendency was
shown by the. cotton market in the ear
ly sessions of the week just ended,
the later sessions brought pressure to
buy and strong advances were under
way for some time. Much of the buy
ing was done on bullish anticipations
regarding the first condition report Of
the season. from the government.
Highest prices came on the closing
session, when July touched 2O.S9c and
the list of active months was 55 to SO
points higher than the close of the pre-
ceding week. Last prices were at net
gains of II to SS points, with July at
2O.76c.
July was at all times the strongest
month. According to the weekly state
ment the visible supply of American
cotton is now down to 2.943, 1874 bales,
against 4,280,495 year ago. Stocks
at the thirty counted interior towns
have been reduced to 634,717 bales,
against 1,271,19 year ago, and stocks
at all ports amount to only 896,277
bales, against 1,582,196 year ago.
While weather conditions over the
belt were regarded as showing some
Improvement, they still were looked
upon as being far from satisfactory
and crop reports were a constant sup
port to the market. Private bureau
estimates of condition that attracted
most attention ranged from 65 to 81
per cen Of. normal, although there were
reports of 6S and So per cent, and one
as high as 71.S per cent, conditions
point to a crop of 1O,24S, 900 bales, ac-
cording to the government formula.

NEGLlGEE RULES in LONDON
WearabIea Carried to the Highest De-
gree Of Art, Characteristic of
Spring Modes.

Negligee carried to the highest de-
gree of art is the dominant character
istic of the London spring fashions.
The waist line has slipped down to
the middle of the hips and is marked
only by b loose girdle, generally of
bright colored beads, which contrast
agreeably with the simple hues of the
frocks themselves.
In all dresses, whether for morning,
afternoon or evening wear, there is an
under robe over which flowing draper
les are arranged.
Sleeves are full and fantastic.
They droop from the arm, with lit.
tie vignettes cut out from the shoul-
der, and tighten to the cuff round the
wrist.
Skirts are gradually Iengthening,
and while decolletage remains low
at the back, it is gradually rising IN
front.

For the weddlno Gown.

An extraordinary touch which may
perhaps set new fashion for wedding
gowns is seen on a bridal robe. The
dress itself is conventional white satin.
with an unusually long veil trailing for
many yards and sharply squared at
the ends, which are weighed with clus.
ters of orange blossoms. The extra-
ordinary touch is the introduction Of
a bit of color. Long, loose-like panels
sweep down from the shoulder and
these are faced with the faintest green.
The gown thus repeats the white and
green Of the bridal bouquet at Its side,
and the gIeam of color Is fascinating.

IN THE STYLE PROCESSION
Fancy and Color Combinations Extend
TO Cotton Froeks for Porch
and Morning Wear.

The fancy and color combinations so
much in evidence this spring extend to
simple cotton frocks for porch and
morning wear.
The lavender shades, green, blue, in
cluding periwinkle, which have had
so much publicity, and the vivid dam
deliOn yellow which Is now occupying
a prominent place in the style process
sion, are all featured in gingham, with
rather small checks preferred. White
and one Of the colors are usually COM
bined in small check. OF course, the
vivid Scotch plaid ginghams are still
used, especially for children, but the
preference is for twO-tone effects in
the small patterns.
Linen is to be worn more this sea-
son than for several years, due pri-
marily to the fact that It is more rea-
sonable in price, but an all-linen frOck
does require a great deal of pressing
and laundering to keep 1t in present
able condition, as all linens rumple
very easily. When combined with
gingham more practical frock is the
result
One smart little gingham frock seen
recently, in a yellow and white check,
was trimmed with latticed insertions
formed Of white organdie set length
wise Of the skirt 80 as to give it a
panel effect, the waist being similarly
treated. A row Of the insertion

neck was finished with an organdis

Taffetas, canton crepes and georg-

There is no denial that the three
