DENVER TAKES FARE FIGHT TO HIQHESTCOURT Twenty-Year Contract for Nickel Rate Source of Dispute. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Aug. I.—A few years ago the people of Denver thought they had a twenty-year contract with the local street railway company to provide service at a 5-cent fare. Now, as the result of a complicated series of cases in the Federal Courts, they find the street railway company has a perpetual franchise and legal authority to charge an 8-cent fare. Through city attorneys, they have just asked the United States Supreme Court to wade through this labyrinth of legal proceedings and see if the lower Federal courts have not made many legal mistakes favorable to the street railway company. Nickel Fare Enjoined According to the petition of the Denver city attorneys just filed with the high court, the traction company made an agreement with the city in 1908 to provide service for twenty ycaii ai a 5-cent fare. In 1920 the company, faced with losses on account of war-time increase in prices, arranged a receivership that would place the management of the company under the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts. Then, according to the petition, the company persuaded the United States District Court to issue an injunction restraining the city from enforcing the 5-cent fare contract, and also secured Federal Court authorization to charge an 8-cent fare. The argument advanced was that the 5-cent fare feature of the franchise ceased to be valid when the company could not make profits by abiding by its terms. In the course of the controversy over this franchise, some old city ordinances, passed in 1885 and 1888, were borught forward which authorized the street railway company to provide service at a 5-cent fare, and set no particular time limit. Claim Contract Binding The Federal Courts, according to the plea of the city authorities to the United States Supreme Court, held that while the five-cent provision of the ordinances is no longer valid, other provisions give the street railway company a perpetual franchise to operate in the city. In one of the Federal Court cases the value of these old ordinances to the street railway company was fixed at $2,000,000. The attorneys for the city, in the ►plea to the high court to review this proceeding, contend that the 5-cent fare ordinance was a binding contract and that the Federal Courts blundered in declaring that ancient ordinances, superceded by an entirely new scheme of State and city government, constituted a perpetual franchise.

JAPANESE PEST RAVAGES U. S. Beetle Spreads Over Nation, Causing Millions Loss. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Aug. I.—The Japanese beetle now playing havoc with trees, shrubs, farm crops, lawns, and golf courses in an increasing number of eastern States, probably will speed across the country, representatives of the Federal horticultural board said today. The combined efforts of Federal and State authorities to check the pest are retarding the rapidity of its spread, but recent developments indicate that there is scant hope that the beetle can be prevented from reaching all parts of the country. No dollars and cents estimate of the damage done by the Japanese beetle since its arrival in this country about ten years ago are available, but those who have been fighting the pest say the losses in the eastern States thus far effected amount to hundreds of millions of dollars. First discovered in a small area in New Jersey, the beetle pest now has spread as far north as Springfield, Mass., and as far west and south as the District of Columbia and northern Virginia. Motorists are contributing to the spread of the beetles by traveling through infested areas, picking them up on their cars, and transporting them long distances. Railroads are doing the same thing.
