THE GOVERNOR STEPS IN

Governor Snzer has played another trump card. In calling
upon the attorney general to start action against Public Service
Railway Company with the idea of asking for a receiver he seems
to be on firm ground. The governor is usually pretty sure of his
position before he makes a movej he abides his time and acts
when the occasion calls for such action.
The governor cites three counts upon which he would begin
proceedings against the trolley company. In the first place, the
socalled fast line between Newark and Trenton is operated under
a railroad franchise. It would be possible to run steam locomo
tives over that line if the Public Service so desired. That being
the case, the governor refers the railroad law which sets forth that
if operation ceases for ten consecutive days upon a railway line
the court must apply for a receivership.
The second count cited by the governor is based on the al
legged inability of Public Service to meets its franchise taxes. 1t
is a well known fact that for several years much Of the street
paving, for instance, in different municipalities which, under its
franchise, the trolley company must pay for, has been financed
by the respective municipalities with the understanding that Pub
lie Service will reimburse the cities later. This sum now runs
into the millions of dollars and it is very doubtful if Public Ser
vice can pay the amounts either now or at any time. THE third
count brought by the governor is a more technical one, being
quo warranto proceedings to make the company show cause why
it should not resume operations on its lines.
This is the second time the governor has called upon the at
torney general to act. The first time was in connection with the
Amboy bridge, and the victory won by the governor in that mat
ter is well known. He also gained considerable prestige by the
manner in which he ousted the State Highway Commission. Every
time it has been a fight on behalf on the people, and with public
opinion soIdly behind him, the governor has won. No wonder,
then, that Public Service shows signs of worry now that the gov
sgnoE has taken 4 hand e the stEiks afaiE &a4aAass

TWO MEALS SUFFICIENT
Men of a Ripe Age Need Food OF
Less Caloric Value Than Younger
Men.

Men.
BY The Associated Press.
San Francisco July 6.--Two meals

middle age, especially those whose
occupations do not require great
physical exertion, would avoid dis
orders of the stomach, kidneys and
heart, DR.. c. d. Spivak, of Denver,
told the American Medical Associa-
ton here today.
DR.. Spivak stated that study of
the diets of a large number of fam
lilies indicated that the caloric value
of the daily meals increased, break
fast having the smallest value, lunch
con the next and dinner the largest.
AS persons grow older, the ap-
petite grows feebler for the first meal
of the day, and yet the quantity OF
food consumed as result of habit re-
mains the same" added DR.. Spivak.
