TRANSFORMATIONS ABOUT PULLMAN TRAVELLERS

During the recent discussion about Pullman surcharges the in formation was broadcast by friends of the surcharges that only four per cent of travellers used PuIlmans and that they could well afford to pay the surchargcs.
 This was an instance of tho kind of transformation that consistently finds its way to the public from sources where the axes are ground
 Two classes of travellers = com- muters and those making short trips in the day time - form a large percentage of the travelling public. It is not logical to include them among travellers on which to pin a surchargc argument. Does anyone believe that only four per cent of those who take overnight trips use the Tullmans?

WHEN RAILROADS FAVOR BI SSES; WIEN THEY DON'T

t WAS stated by an official of d.. New Haven railroad in Pro'i- drncs tho other day that the rail- road Was losing $ln0p"o d year in passenger revenue On the line h"- tween proHiIrnce anI Fall River since d bus line WAS established be- ,yoen the two cities.
 It was not stated that as rr- sun the line between tb"s" two cttirs WAS losing money for the company; but i; is clear that $1on,- ooo less revenue a year on lin" only 19 miles in length is srrjoue matter for The railroad.
 Why is this possible: Is it be cause the busscs give more frequent ser, ice? Or do the people Just na- iurally" prefer to ride in busscs?
 Perhaps both reasons apply Ger lam it is that wherever the moIoch on tires appears the railroad lines

WARREN IS VOTED
 DOWN BY SENATE
CoOlidse's Choice for Attorney
 General Loses 4t-S9

| Washington, March 1.-The sen-
 ate's rejection Of tho nomination Of
 Charles B. Warren of Michigan. to
 be attorney general at assesslon yes-
 terday colored by the dramatic ef-
 forts of. republicans to oyerturn Q tie vote on confirmation has left the question of filling that office on.
 veloped in uncertainty,
 With tho White House declining to comment on the matter, there was no indication today what course President Coolidge might pursue.
 Only by the presidents resubmis- sion of the nomination can 1t again come before the senate, whose ac- ton yesterday, after voting 40 to 40 on confirmation, in finally tabllng Il to S9, a motion to reconsider as the upshot of hurried republican strat- cgy to overturn tho tie, Is final and irrevocable.
 As an alternative to resubmitting the Warren nomination or sending new name 10 the senate, the presl- dent may either leave Solicitor Gen cral Beck in charge of the justice department until the next session of congress or make a recess appoint ment for that period.
 Coming with almost startling sud denness late in the day, the vote on confirmation apparently caught the administration forces, who even dur ing the roll call seemed confident of the result, off guard. While demo- cratic opponents of the nomination sought to clinch their victory by demanding that the roll call be closed and announced and adminls- tration leaders strove to delay it, a taxicab dash by Vice-P President Dawes from his hotel to the capitol in an effort to arrive in time to break the tie was awaited as the im- pending climax.
 He was too late for that, to roll call having been announced, but in the meantime republican leaders had rcsorted to further strategy when Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, switched his vote to the opposition column, making the result, techni- cally, S9 10 Al, so that he might move reconsideration of the ques- tion
 On an immediate counter motion of opponents of confirmation 10 lay the Reed motion on the table the senate had concluded another tie vote, 40 to 40, just as the vice. president, who could have cast the deciding ballot, entered the cham Der. When at this juncture, how ever, Senator Overman Of North Carolina, the only democrat who had voted for confirmation, switched his vote, the motion to reconsider was tabled and the fight was ended
 Not. counting the parliamentary switch in Senator Reeds vote, nine republicans joined all of the demo- crats present, except Senator Over man, and the one farmer-labor sen ator shipstead, in voting against confirmation.

\ CASE OF OPINION AND I'll, LAW

As was to have hccn expected. whenever point is reached where the state exercises moro control over domestic regulations than the city, it will he found strictly according to the statutes. Robbins B, Stoeckcl, motor vehicle commissioner, has pulled the law books down off the shelves and pointed out that his action in the West Main street gas oline station controversy was entire ly 'mandatory"
 1t all depends upon the conditions which the law specifies But the good old law book doesn't specify the rights Of the contiguous property owners, nor does it specify a limit to the number of gasoline stations In q block, nor probably any number of other things in connection there with that the public is interested in.
 The commissioner will be glad to have another hearing on the matter if there is evidence forthcoming "along lines Of impcriIing the public by establishment of this business stand"
 This would be giving evidence about a matter of opinion. The law which the commissioner quotes to wit, Chapter 334 of the public acts of 1923, says the gasoline station can be established if the motor ychi- cle commissioner gives a certificate stating that in tho opinion of said commissioner" the location will not imperl the safety of the public,
 The station, therefore, can be established upon q certificate based upon the opinion of the commis- missioner Then to upset the ccrti- ficatc allowing the station the har- assed objcctors have to produce cli- dencc to upset the commissioner opinion,
 The whole case, tIlorCorc, seems to rest upon the opinion of the commissioner. Hc says he could not reject the application under the conditions" said conditions appar- ently having been that he was of the opinion the station would not i'm peril others nearby.
 This being a sort of opinionatc1 case based upon the law, it is ap- parent that other opinions are not contrary 10 the law, but cannot be given as evidence 10 upset the primary opinion of the motor com missioner
 All of which being tho case, sc)ah and amCn
