Under this program senate and House would hold a joint session to receive the message, which probably will be presented within a day or two. County Legion Acts A resolution calling upon United States Senators Joseph S. Freling huysen and Walter E. Edge to do their utmost to aid the national bonus and requesting them to give their support to tho measure and express the sentiments of the New Jersey legislature and their constitu ents, was adopted Saturday night at a dinner of tho Middlesex county executive committee of the Ameri can Legion at Seldler’s Beach, Cliff wood. Other matters discussed and acted upon were: Unemployment among ex-service men: state conven tion: carisson- membership drive and compensation claims. When the national bonus question came up for discussion Senators Frelinghuysen and Edge were criti cized for their vi-avering attitude on the adjusted compensation bill and in view of the fact that the Ameri can Legion is unqualifiedly in favor of the bonus, the following resolu tion was drawn up and forwarded to Senators Frelinghuysen and Edge and President Harding. "Whereas, the Senate Finance Committee, the New Jersey legisla ture and the 160,000 ex-service men together with the practically unani mous sanction of your entire constit uents are in favor of the adjusted compensation bill, and "Whereas, congress has seen fit to appropriate $2,000,000,000 to make up the war losses of tho railroads and is now considering an additional half billion for that cause, and its attitude apparently favorable to can cellation of European debts, and postponement of interest payments, and “Whereas, the press of this week show Senators Frelinghuysen and Edge wavering on the adjusted com pensation bill which will compensate the war veterans for the lost oppor tunities during the war, “Be It resolved that the Middle lex County Executive Committee aow look to you for your support >n this measure and that you express the sentiment of the New Jersey legislature ana your constituents." On the unemployment and com lensation question, a concerted drive vill be made to adjust all compensa ;ion claims and a survey will be nade with a view of obtaining em iloyment for ex-service men. Unem iloyment of the ex-service man was ; ooked upon as the biggest problem i iow facing the legion, and an at- i empt will be mado to find out the j mploycrs who have re-employed I heir former employes after coming i iack from service. The committee arranged for four : nass meetings to be held in this 1 ity. New Brunswickk, South River t nd Dunellen. at which the employ- i rs will be requested to get behind i he movement. t The state convention will be held £ t Asbury Park on September 15, 16, c nd 17.

NOVAK. T 554—7-11-2-t* ( -_ _ _ ^ _ _ _ i' $7,000 DIKE Early Morning Blaze in Store of Harris Miller, at 539 State Street Fire of a mysterious origin early this morning gutted the furniture store of Henry Miller, at 539 State street. The theory that some one set fire to the place is vigorously expressed by th* proprietor, who points to the condition of the Inte rior after the debris of the ruined stock had been cleared away, as his proof. Mr. Miller carries no insurance on his stock. Charred walls and ceiling around small window which opened up on a court yard and a shelf stored with mattresses on the interior, leads Mr. Miller to the belief that tne fire was started through this opening from the outside. Mr. Miller says it would have been a comparatively simple matter for one bent on such a purpose to go about his nefarious work unhamper ed. The store is located close to the Lehigh Valley railroad bridges in upper State street. The firehouse of lhe McClellan Engine Company ad joins on the south. The store extends the entire 100 feet of the lot, and the window re ferred to opens up on the courtyard in back of the engine house. It is accessible from Pearl place. The flames and smoke ate their way through the two floors of the structure, ruining the stock In their path but the exact place where the fire started is easily discernible. The roof, ceiling and walls of the rear part of the building were badly dam aged in addition to the rooms in the front part of the second floor. The entire building was used for the sale )f furniture Mr. Miller was in too disturbed a frame of mind to discuss his suspi cions. He said that he had neglect ed to cover his stock with insurance when he took the business over last January. The damage is estimated’ bv the police at $7,000—$4,000 to the bulbi ng and $3,000 to the stock. The >laze was discovered at 1:30 o’clock V. M. and the flames had gained •onsiderable headway despite the proximity of the firehouse before he actual firefighting, which lasted wo hours, began. The alarm was umed in from box 54 by Officer ^ybeck.

ASSIGNMENTS OF ERROR III REIKI Ten Clauses Made in Appeal of Utility Board to the Errors Court IN 10 CENT FARE CASE No Special Session to Hear Case at Once Chancellor Walker Rules GEO. RECORD FILES BRIEF Fare Issue is Also Raised by Attorney Action of Jersey City [By Evening New* Correspondent.] TRENTON, July 11.—Ten assign ments of error are made in the ap peal of the State Board of Public Utility Commissioners carrying to the court of errors and appeals the decision of the supreme court in the Public Service Railway Com pany's ten-cent fare case. Chancel lor Walker, head of the errors court, having denied the request of L. Ed ward Herrmann, counsel for the utility commission, for a special ses sion of the court to hear this appeal at once, upon the ground that many of the justices are away and quorum could not be secured, the case will have to take the ordinary course. The assignments of errors are as follows: That the supreme court erred in finding "that it was shown conclu sively that a considerable part, at least, of the increased rato is Just and reasonable.” That it erred in holding that “it Is just and reasonable that an increase of rates should be made.” In holding "that the order and proceedings of the Board of Public Utility Commissioners are not sup ported by the evidence." In remanding the case to the util ity board "to fix a just and reason able rate based on the evidence.” In holding that the fixation of a just and reasonable rate “ought not to be postponed until the board has reached a result in another case in volving the fixing of a just and rea sonable rate based on the evidence.” In holding that the railway com pany was entitled to the cost of op eration and a fair return "on capital Invested.” In holding that It had the power ‘to set aside the order and remand the proceedings to tlie commission ers to fix a just and reasonable rate.” In holding that the Public Ser vice Railway Company was "entitled io a higher rate than it is now re ceiving under the evidence." In holding that it was entitled to iny higher rate than it is now re ceiving until the appellant fixes, as it is required to fix, under the stat ute, a just and reasonable rate based upon a fair value of the property used and useful In service of the public. An© utility commission announces [hat it will be ready by next Thurs day with its decision in the main ?ase of the application of the Pub ic Service Railway Company, for a on cent fare, which involves a val lation of all the company’s pron rty. Thursday is the time fixed by he valuation law for handing down hifi decision. Rocorcl Files Brief JERSEY CITY, July 11:—George Ij. Record, special counsel for Jersey 'ity in the Public Service fare case, Red today his brief with the Board >f Public Utility Commissioners. This >rief analyses the evidence in the :ase, which comprises some 10,000 )ages. Mr. Record claims that the evi- i lence shows that the Public Service i [tallway Company is not entitled to ; iny increase in fare, but that, on the ■ ontrary, the rapid fall in the price i >f labor and material will soon put he company where a reduction in < he present seven-cent rates should ' >e ordered. i Mr. Record also says that if the 1 Supreme Court ruling in its recent tecision in the ten-cent fare case I .as adopted, which means that the i ompany is entitled to its filed < harges and a proper depreciation und to bring the property up to < n efficient state, this would re- « uire a total Increase of less than a < nillion dollars, and an elght-cent • >ase fare, with seven tickets for ifty cents, which is substantially 1 he present rate, would produce this 1 mount; so that in no event is any- a hing like an eight or ten cent fare j ailed for by the proofs or by the ! uling of the court. 1 { John Wanamaker 83 Today PHILADELPHIA, July 11:—John Vanamaker today celebrated his ighty-third birthday anniversary.
