Pennsylvania Railroad Seeks to
Have It Set Aside.
Philadelphia, July ! ^-President
' of the Pennsylvania railroad
was the principal witness Thursday
n the equity proceedings Instituted
by that ^company against the city and
county of Philadelphia to restrain
them from enforcing the 2-cent fare
The law goes Into effect Oct. 1

John °. Johnson, counsel for the
?ryHVai"a ral,roa<i' ln opening the
proceedings, which are in the nature
° 'le*r'ri* ln equity, said the com
monwealth has no constitutional right
to legislate rates for the Pennsylvania
railroad under its charter. But for
the sake of argument, even If the law
Is constitutional a 2-cent rate is un-
reasonable and will not return a fair
p™'lt 'or the capital Invested.
city Solicitor Gendell, in his state
rnent to the court, said the county was
made defendant because the penalty
for violation of the law Is payable
.®re- "e thought the proceedings
snould bave been brought against the
commonwealth as It is a state matter.
Nevertheless, he said, the city, being
defendant, he would guard its inter-
eats, which in this case was not great
The first witness examined waR
Mai Klehonaek, comptroller of the
Pennsylvania railroad. He presented
a survey of the earnings and expenses
on Interstate passenger business for
the first three months of the present
year. This summary showed the aver-
age rate per passenger per mile was
1.907 cents. Earnings for the three
months was J3.070.935 and expenses
$■.,921,607. If the the 2-cent law had
been In force during these three
months the earnings would have been
but $2,857,033. The estimated figures
for the entire year 1907, based on
those first three months of the present
year were also submitted.
AUTO TURNS OVER.
Three Persons Injured by Being Pin-
ioned Under the Car.
Toledo, O.. July ]r.—The first acci-
dent of note In the endurance run for
the GHdden cup occurred Thursday
when the car of K. R. Otis of Cleve-
land, carrying his wife, J. J. Numan
Miss Rollins and J, Ed Spooner, turn-
ed over about six miles west of this
city. Mr Otis, Miss Rollins and Mr
Nunan were the most serfously injur-
ed, as they were pinioned underneath
the heavy car. There had been some
delay in starting and Otis attempted
to make up the lost time as soon as
be was out of the city limits. While
going at a high rate of speed he at
tempted to pass Phillip S. Flinn's car,
and while taking off the side of the
road his machine skidded and slid
over an embankment Into a ditch. The
unfortunate passengers were quickly
placed in Flinn's car and hurried
back to the starting point, where they
received medical attention.

posed It. The court ruled that the

not properly a part of the defense,
but Messrs Darrow and Richardson
continued their plea on the part of
the mine owners and Plnkertons. and
managed to show that Moynr had been
denied permission to communicate

the train, and that Wells had the keys

locked them on the Journey to Idaho.
