The same order also fixed the rate of fare that ‘was calculated to give this company a fare rate on the value ui the property found. “The commission finds that this tion does not show cause why this | te) matter should so soon be reopened. ‘The commission is further of the that sufficient time has not as yet elapsed to determine the effect of the present rate of fare.” E.

JUDGE WILL RULE ON DANCER'S SUIT Court Withholds Decision to Con- sider Legal Points of Artist’s Attorneys. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES; February 11— Superior Judge Harry R. Archbald to- day will rule whether the $30,000 breach of contract suit brought by Dolores Salazar, Spanish dancer, against Ferdi- nand Pinney Earle, artist, will be decided by the jury or whether a verdict will be directed for the de- fendant. Attorneys for Earle yesterday entered & motion for a directed verdict, basing their contention on the d Miss Salazar was not induced to marry the artist on a promise of money, but that she was “swept off her feet by Earle's love-making.” The defense also con- nded the girl knew that Earle was married at the time she accompanied him to Mexico City, where she charges a mock marriage ceremony was per- formed, and later to , and there- fore there could not be, under the law, a valid prenuptial contract. Judge Archbald, after hearing the motion in the absence of the jury, said his sympathies were with Miss Salazar, but he withheld his decision until he had carefully considered ‘“certain meritorious legal points advanced by Earle's counsel.” ‘The dancer in her suit is asking $15,- 000 for breach of an alleged prenuptial contract and $15,000 for a maintenance fund she alleged Earle promised her.
