Commission agents who have spent two years investigating the |petroleum rate structure, declared shippers had been practically united in asking for lowering of schedules generally, while railroads had sought increases. To the commission they |submitted a complicated serles of |mileage scales, explaining that the application of the scales In new rate making would not completely nt either increases or reductions, sut would in their opinion, make proper territorial and commodity re- lationships in transportation charges on the commodities included.

Flynn, and Silver and Mrs. Bikle, the court learned that Bilver {and Mrs. Reesman came to New | Britain July 4 and lived as a married ' couple at 61 Main street, although they were not married. Yesterday, the police went to an apartment at 36 South High street and Interviewed Mrs. Reesman, who told them her “husband” was at work in the Corbin Screw plant and would be home at noon.

Silver pleaded not gullty, as did Mrs. Reeseman. The latter declined [0 make a statement but Silver took !the witness stand and admitted that he and Mrs. Reesman had lived to- gether in Maryland since 1923 and !\undn‘r the laws of that state, as they nudcrstood them, they became man and wife after two years' cohabita- tion. On coming to New Britain they planned to become legally mar- | ried but learned that it was ncces- ,sary to give five days' notice before obtaining a license. Recently they | made an effort to have Mrs. Rees- ;mnn‘n hushand give up the divorce | papers which were preparec at the time he and she were legally separat- kins having become acquainted here. - Mrs. Bikle, who appeared to be of {low mentality according to the au- thorities who came into contact with _her since her arrest, pleaded mot gullty when charged with improper conduct, while Bisson pleaded guilty.
