asserted here today before the Public
Service Commission.
This flat statement came on the heels
of testimony that expenses hove grown
In greater ratio than receipts, alio
forecast of a ten -rent faro was mntlc
by "Willis C. Dunbar, vice president in
charge of finance nnd accounting oE the
transit company. .
Mr. Dunbar was the first witness at
the opening of n series of public hear
ings on the complaint ma m by the city
ngainst proposed faro increases. J. ho
entire membership of the Public Service
Commission, except John S. Killing,
was present to henr testjmony and ar-
Today's session ended abruptly at
H:;i(l o elocK. wnen, uuer i m "'
company's witnesses had testified, coun
sel for the company announced he hnd
no more witnesses ready. Chairman
AIney commented tartly on tho situa
tion, which, he said, wan "not to the
liking of tiie commission," nnd adjourn
ed the hearing until 10 o'clock toraor
vow morning.
The hearing, which began at 10:45
o'clock in the State Supreme .Court
chamber on tho fourth floor of City
yi-ii hnnn.l n. (tiirnaf tffntlnn that is

$3,000,000 More Yearly Needed
The city objects to a proposed aboil-'
tion of nil free transfers, the elimina
tion of three-cent exchange tickets from
the central delivery district and fare
charges for children by height rnthcr
than the age rule.
The increased tariff, estimated to
viehl $3,000,000 additional a year, was
'to become effective July 1. At tho sug
gestion of the Public Service Commls
ion tho company postponed tho tariff
until the commission rules on tho vari
ous questions raised.
Chairman Alney opened tho pro
ceedings by summarizing the complnint.
aimed at a proposed abolition of all
free transfers nnd the elimination of
three-cent exchange tickets in the cen
tral delivery section.
Speedy Hearing Desired
"This enso in of unusual Im
portance," commented Mr. Alney. "The
commission, in executive session, ex
pressed a desire that the full commis
sion sit in the case.
"For the purpose of expediting mat
ters, the testimony submitted In the
Cliveden Improvement Association nnd
ether cases regarding the rate of fnre
will be ninde part of the present record.
"Questions pertaining to matters of
mtv1! involved in tho former com
plaints will not be included in this case.
There are just two questions to be con
sidered. One Is the incrense which the
fiimpany proposes to put into effect.
The other is whether the method of put
tins the incrense Into effect is just and
equitable."
Mr. Alney was referring to tho city's
contention, expressed by City Solicitor
Smyth, that the convent of the munic
ipality is necessary before 11 fare in
crease is legal. The contract of 11107
between the city nnd the company is the
lmsis of Mr. Smyth's contrition.
Burden of Proof onu. R. T.
Mr. Alney concluded his remarks
with a statement that tho proceedings
would bo rushed through to a just con
clusion. "Tho burden of proof rests on the
respondent company to justify tho
necessity for this incrense," the chair
man asserted.
Mr. Alney informed Frederic Ij.
Itallnrd, of counsel for the company,
that the commission was ready to pro
ceed. Mr. llallard called Mr. Dunbar
ti' the first witness.
Tho company's flnnnclal vlco presi
dent placed in evidence numerous exhi
bits benring on rising costs borne by
the company, lie snid when the Mit-tcn-Stotesbury
management took charge
of the company the gross receipts for
1010 were $in,,J,J2.22.01. compared
with gross receipts for 1010 of S'iO,
O'lO, 510.42, or an increase of about
W per cent.
'In the other hand, Mr. Dunbnr as
wrted, the operating expenses have in
creased 100 per cent iu that period. The
cost of operating cars a revenue mllo,
be stated, has jumped from fourteen
cents in 1010 to thirty-two cents at the
present lime.
.Since Thomas K. Mitten beenmc
President of tho Rapid Transit Corn
Piny, Mr. Dunbnr continued, the com
pauy Ims Issued $22,000,000 of obliga
tions. The mim nf S.I ((t (CC l.- !,....

"The Pittsburgh situation will
have to bo reproduced here, I am
afraid, and the faro raised to ten
ceuts," asserted W. C. Dunbar, a
vice president of tho P. It. T., tes
tifying before tho Public Service
Commission.
"The fore will, of course, hove
to be made large enough to take
care of the accumulating deficit,"
he added, after estimating the com
pany had already lost .$250,000
through postponement of its "no
free trnnsfcf" plnn.
It wns believed by some Mr.
Dunbnr's statement foreshadowed
on attempt by tho company to col

all tho company would have re

BRYAN'S HEART LIES
IN GRAVE WITH CAUSE
Nebraskan Says Convention
Made Mistake Will Con
sider Third Party Move
Ran Francisco. July 0. (By A. P.)
"My heart Is In the grave with our
cause nnd I must pause until it comes
bnck to me," said William J. Iirynn
today, In giving his reason for not
making any extended stntcment on the
work of the Democratic National Con
vention. "My views, on the convention's notion
in reference to tho indorsement jof pro
hiblflon nro known," said Mr. Bryan.
"I regard It as a very serious mistake
it opened the door to the nomination
of 0 wet candidate. I need not repent
hero what I have said before in regnrd
to tho evasion of other Issues."
When asked If he would hnvo any
thing to do with the thrd party move
ment, or would indorse its candidate,
Mr. Bryan replied :
"I do not core to discuss any other
movement. I shall use a port of the
next 'four months in considering the
question.
"I do not enre to say anything about
congressional plans, but the question
suggests the importance of selecting n
Sennto and -House that will refuse to
increase the alcoholic content in per
mitted beverages or any other weaken
ing of the enforcement law."

(Copyright, MO, bv .PudMo Laitger Co.)
San Francisco, July C The nom
ination of Governor Cox by the Demo
cratic National Convention todny was
a victory for state bosses.
Ho wns their candidate.
5furphy, Tnggart, Brcnnan, Lynch,
Walsh, of Massachusetts, nnd the other
state bosses furnished him with the
nucleus out of which his two-thirds
mnjorlty wns finally cornered. They
gave him throughout the votes of the
big President-making states. These
votes put him into the lend early In the.
race and he wns only headed by Mc
Adoo for a short time yesterday nftcr
noon. Oct Back at President
The state bosses, especially Murphy,
of New York, "carried on" to victory.
The men who were benten nt Baltimore
and ignored by the Wilson administra
tion prevented the nomination of a
member of the administration which had
Ignored them.
They have a candidate of their own
choice nnd to their own liking. They
have come. back. They do nof control
thcpartyi-TIiey-dld not-cTritrbl the con
vention? Unt they havfcTirobnbly.aron
their way to some of the pover they
once had. In a way the Cox domination
resembles tho Harding nomination. It
marks n return to party government. If
Cox Is elected, tho Democratic state
machines will bo recognized by the
White House.
The McAdoo nomination would hnve
meant a continuance of the Wilson
policy of ignoring the state machines.
It was this and his record of ignoring
the state machines which caused Mc
Adoo's "defeat."
In n limited sense, the Cox nomina
tion wns an anti-administration vic
tory. This wns true, though the
White House carefully refrained from
influencing the convention.
Wilson's Voice Not Heard
At no time except with regnrd to
platform was there any sign that the
President turned over his hnnd tn in-
flucncc the convention or the selection
of a candidate here In San Francisco.
Every one listened here for the voice
of the White House, but it was not
heard.
Nevertheless, all the elements op
posed to Wilson control ot the party
were behind the Cox candidacy. And
with one or two exceptions, until the
movement developed which led to Cox's
nomination, none of tho administration
forces was supporting Cox. It wns an
administration -antladministrntion line
up, with tho White House scrupulously
avoiding giving aid to Its friends, nnd
In the end the nntiadmlnistration forces
won.
Winner Showed Wet Strength
Various factors contributed tn Ox's
success besides the aid of the stato
bosses. COX iS O WCt. and In n i-rnnf
many localities tho nomination nf n wet
was decided as likely to contribute to
tho election of local tickets. Cox hnd

Cox. moreover, was ncrsnnnllr nnn.
ular with the delegates, morn sn tlmn
McAdoo. Many delegates were glad to
vote for him, preferring him personally
to anv other candidnto nnd lmiinvinn
him at least as likely to win as anv
other.
Mr. McAdoo's real strength win, tho
delegates was greatly exaggerated. Out

ex-secretary of the treasury made little
appeal to the ImoglnaUon.of th mn.

thirty-eighth, when Attorney Gen
eral Palmer withdrew from the

calls showed any definito trend.
In the turnover of the Pnlmer

loting, and that advantago never was
lost. -
