KMERIGAN RELIER FORCE Wmdred U. S. Soldiers Dispatched to that has Tomgshan, China, to Protect For- eigners From Chinese Rebels. Peking, May 12.—(By Associated Press.)—One hundred American sol- djers have been dispatched to Tong- shan, a few miles northeast of Tien Tsin, to maintain communication and to protect foreigners in the vicinity éf the Kaiping coal mines. A train fly- {ng flags left Tien Tsin for China- wangtao on the coast of the Gulf of Chih-li, but was unable to proceed on secount of the congestion of Chinese forces. The troops of Gen. Wu Pei-Fu, who defeated the Manchurian forces of Gen. Chang Tso-Lin last week, are now entrenched at Tongshan. Gen. Chang has his headquarters at Lwan- ehow with 45,000 Manchurian troops. The opinion of military attaches here is dividkd as to whether the Manchurian leader intends additional aggression against his \wtorkous ad- versary or whether he is merely striv- ing to carry out an orderly retreat for the moral effect that might be pro- duced when his troeps arrive at Muk- den. MINE IS BLOWN UP e Shaft, Pittsburgh. Peterman Near Destroyed By Heavy Charge of Dy- pamite—Fear Other Outbreaks. Pittsburgh, May 12.—The Peterman mine in Penn township near here was blown up early today by a heavy echarge of dynamite which arew stones so far that the farm house of George Wessel, a quarter of a mile away was damaged. Sheriff Robert W. Woodside with a big force of deputies left Pittsburgh shortly after 9 a. m. for the mines, where it was reported a body of coal strike sympathizers had collected. Peterman said over the telephone that the men who had attacked his place were hastening in automobiles to the mine of Joseph Schenck, half a mile away. One of the automobiles contained dynamite Peterman said. Peterman said the men had gome to his mine shortly before daybreak and planting a heavy charge of dynamite in the meuth of the drift completely destroyed it. Twelve men were nrrested. Bagpipes were the favorite instru- ments of the Ancient Greeks.

MISSIVE REJECTED “Confession Letter,” Supposedly Writ- ten by Mrs, Stillman, s Again Ruled Out. Poughkeepsia, N. Y,, May 12.—The “confession letter,”” alleged to have been written by Mrs, Anne U.

It was rujed out while Mrs. Stillman was under cross- examination, but an- tories and mercantile establishments, except in fireproof rooms.

U COMMISSION GIVES ITS ANSWER im- en- ( Continued From First Page) fore the commission petitions affeet- ing rates in the following communi- ties, to wit, Norwalk, Bridgeport, New Haven, Waterbury, New Britajn and Hartford. In Nerwalk and Rridge- port the rates in effect are under tem- porary order of the commission di- recting test rates, subject to change and modification as the commission may deem advisable. No Changes Possible The commission does not at this time deem it good public policy or warranted by the facts presented, to make any general change in the rates outside of the test areas, but will re- tain jurisdiction. over all pending cases for future determination. We feel, however, that a continua- tion of the tests, with some modifica- tions in both Norwalk and Bridgeport, is Justified and desirable in view of results already shown. has not been a paying division. In November, 1921, by order of the com- mission, there was established as an experiment or test, a short five cent zone on West avenue, the result of which has shown a financial improve- ment over previous operations All the lines in Norwalk are short and readily lend themselves to a short five cent zone system, although it is prob- able that the Dorland’'s Point line can never he successfully operated as « street railway line. The establish- ment of a five cent zone system, with- out transfer in Norwalk, would un- doubtedly increase the riding and af- ford acceptable service to the great majority of the traveling publie, al- though for a limited number going through more than two zones the rates would be increased. Tt is im- possible, however, to make any equitable modification without creat- ing a possible hardship upon a few, but the greatest good to the greatest number to a certain extent must have its influence. The commission suggests by way of further experiment in Norwalk until July 1st, 1922, and until further di- rection by the commission, that five cent fares, without transfer, be es- tablished on each of the lines in Nor- walk. Tf this suggestion is adopted Ly your company, the commission would desire weekly rcports of the revenue received on each line, and as far as practicable a statement of rev- enues on the same lines during the preceding test period, and the period of last year corresponding to the per- iod of this experiment. The pegults shown by such an experiment should be of value in determining the advisa- bility of establishing shorter five cent zones on other lines of your system where it would be practicable At the hearing in Bridgeport in MA4rch, the mayor of that city suggest- ed that the present rates of fare be continued but modified to allow the present ten cent fare riders the op- tion of using tokens now enjoyed by the ten cent fare riders throughout ather parts of the state. The com- mission is of opinion that this is & reasonable suggestion and would rec- ommend {ts adoption until July 1st, and until further modification of the test rate. As in the ecase of Norwalk, the commission would desire your company to continue the submission of weekly reports. As you are aware, there are cer- tain lines on your system which are not mow paving and never have paid expenses, The installation of busses on such lines would lessen the cost of operation and permit an ext¢ynmon of service to sections not now ng served, and possibly produce addl. tional revenue. The commission would appreciate an acknowledgment of this eommuni. cation with a statement of the com. pany's attitude with reference there- to, particularly as te the adoption of the suggestions made herein.

This note was reported to have complained of her depression and worn out feeling and to have said that if she “had taken Fred Beauvais' ad- vice she would not have been so troubled.” Beauvais is the Indian guide alleged by Mr. Stillman to be the father of little Guy.
