PETITION OPPOSED BY CITY The Ft Wavne A Northern Indiana Traction Company is permitted to charge a straight 5-cent fare during the period of the ^ar, W order of the pub--lic service commission today The company had been selling six tickets for a quaj|er under a franchise contract with the city The cltv opposed the petition for a straight 6-cent fare, and at a hearing given b> the commission in Ft Wavne submitted that the company was bound by Its franchise contract The commission found that the cprapany made a franchise agreement under a general law of the state, and that under the recent supreme couit decision m the L'ogansport telephone case the public service commission had the powei to change the terms of the contract The Ft Uayne companj surrendered its franchise and received an indeterminate permit from the commission last >ear Distinction Drawn. The commission draws a distinction l)etween the general law under which tl\e H T^ajiie lianchise contiact was made and the specific law unaer which the Indianapolis street railway contract was made In the former case it is held, that the legislature did not suirender its power to regulate fares at an> time, while m the latter case it did surrender its power for the period of the contract it authorizes At the hearing in Ft. '4\ayne, over which Commi‘'Sicner EJdwards presided eighty citl7ens filed a petition asking that the’e onimlhsion grant the company temporary relief The city of ft W aj ne filed a protest The commission found the physical value of the company propert> in the city $1800,000 not counting intangibles It further found that the company had an operating deficit in 1915 of $13,7b0 that tite company s net earnings in liilfi W'ere less than 1% per cent of the value of the physical propertj . and its net earnings in 1917 were about 1 1-3 per cent of the physical value of the prop-

Depends on Traffic Increase. The straight 6-cent fare may Increase the gross earnings of the company $75 000 a year, but whether It will depends upon a normal Increase In traffic, the commission says The commission believes the company will be fortunate if the straight 5-cent fare enables it to realize from 5 to 6V* per cent, on the physiial value of the property The Increase In fares may reduce traffic somewhat so that the |75,000 estimated increase in gross earnings will not be realized I The coimnisHion found that high prUes i of material and labor owing to the war I had made flnamial difficulties for the company, and It further found that 3,500 automobiles In Ft v\*|j\nc have cut off a great deal of patronage the company formerly enjoyed Texas Votes for Prohibition.

After having interviewed pnctirallv all of the Republican and former Progressive leaders in Washington and New York Will H Hays, chairman of the Republican national cor^mlttee, has returned to Indianapoli" Mr Ha>s is enthusiastic about the success of his trip and is confident as a result of his many talks with the party leaders that the Republican party IS completely united ‘ I found complete Republican unanimity , he said ‘ in the determination . to Insist on winning the war on winning j it now, and on winning it b> victory ana not by compromise or bargaining ! I found complete unanimity also by Re i publicans everywhere in the dssire for a vigorous application of the program for equal rights in the party management Another thing on which all leaders arp agreed is that it will be wise to pre- 1 pare now for the reconstruction period that will follow the war" Met With No Rebuffs Mr Hays said he did not meet a rebuff anywhere to his invitation to all to like active part in the affairs of the jiartv, but on the other hand met with be most cordial responses to his invitations to come in If he omitted to see a Republican or former Progressive ft anv prominence, Mr Uivs only did so because some were not to be found Men who had been political enemies for .ears sat at the .same table with Mr Havs and attended conferences in the S’’me room with him , The national chairman will not pans-* (in his work of giving the glad hand to j Republicans of eveiv variety, and iftci a tew days m Indianapolis will leave I again to continue his coiifeiences I am gieatlv interested in th© success 'of the Liberty loan in Indiana, said ,Mr Hays ‘I will remain here to take part in the Liberty loan conference to-
morrow ’
At this conference Republican and Democratic leaders of the state will meet together at the statehouse in the interest of the Liberty loan On Wednesday Mr Hays will meet wltn the state council of defense, of which he is a member Following this meeting he will go to Chicago where he will pay attention to the affairs of th© western division of the national committee work He will then go to Washington in the interest of keeping the work of the national committee going with the greatest possible
efficiency
Met William Barnes.
Just before leaving New York, Mr Hays met William liarnes, who in the past has opposea Theodoie Roosevelt and Charles S Whitman, new Loverno, of New York state, and after the conAerente Mr Barnes saia that he and Mr liays had only had one thought in mind, the best Inteiests ot the Itepublican parly ' Then Mi liavs had another coiiterence with Goveinoi W'hitI nuiii and George W Perkins, when the Governor told him he was in entiie accord with the program tor the restora-

At noon ‘-aturday Mr liavs was the guest oi the I mon League Club, whete a dmr.ei was given in his honor bv William M Caldei, I nited States «eriatcr from New Voik i’lactically eveiy ReI ublKdii leader in the, state ot New Yoik w'as present, and ciediL gen, rail was given to Mr llavs foi tringing all Lactions together \t*er his conference with All Lames, Mi Havs gave the following inteiview to the New Yoik
Times
“Mr Barnes simply called to pay his respects and T was gl id to have the opportunity to give him a brief outline of my plans and puiposes Of course the time was too short to discuss the situation except in i general wav but the visit of the former state chairm in of the Republican organization in New Y^ork afforded me much pleasu’-e Our chat was most satisfactory, as was also mV’talk with Mr AVard of Westches-
ter county
"Governor Milliken, of Maine also called upon me for the purpose of explaining the political situation m his state and urging me to attend the Main® convention at Portland on March JS j In view of the gravity of the situation' in Maine 1 told the Governor that I i would make every^ effort to attend T have heard that Colonel Roosevelt, if his health permits, will al^’o he present I also had a chat with Newton W Gilbeit, former Lieutenant-Governor of i Indiana, but it was merely personal and
had no political significance Expresses Appreciation.
‘Before leaving New York I wish to express mv appreciation of the manner m which I have been received in New York and Washington I arn convinced that there is no longer anv political geography in the country, and that the Republicans aie united in then wai spirit The sentiment piev'ails that our country must come first in our thoughts, and in this connection we must think of
the needs of the nation aftei
has been fought to a successful termination New Y’ork has reason to feel proud of its citizens, and I rejoice at the real American spirit which is manifest on all
sides "
L W Henley, secretary of the Republican state committee in Indiana, who accompanied Mr Hays on his trip, returned with him Mr Heiilev said that cordial feeling met Mr Hays eveiywhcie, and not a note of dissension was beard on the entire trip The excellent treatment given ATr Havsbv th^^ eastern newspapers was commented on bv Air Henley who said even such Democratic papers as the New York AA’orld freely conceded the success of Mr Hayss conferences with the Republican leaders \8 .a result of the tiip. Mi Henley be lleves the davs of individualism in Ihe i affairs of the Republican partv are ‘ over, and that it will be guided in the future solely by the principles Involved
