The hearing of the public service
commission of the state of Nevada at
Palisade yesterday on rates and practi
ces of the Eureka Nevada Railway was
adjirhed shortly after opening he
cause of the failure of J. F Sexton,
vice-president and general manager of
the rdad to appear. Mr. Sexton refused'
to appeaV lecause summons for his ap
pearance had been sent by registered
mail and not served on him personally,
the Reno Journal says.
The commission, which was repre
sented by Chairman J. F. Shaughnessy,
heard pleadings of the attorneys rep
resenting the F.urcka Chamber of Com
merce and Mr. Sexton and adjourned
to . take the matter of service of sum
mons under advisement. Future steps
to le taken by the commission in thd
case were not made known by Mr.
Shaugnessy last night upon his return
to Reno although he said no definite
action could be taken until the service
of summon had been made.
The hearing yesterday was intended
to le a conclusion of the hearing of
some weeks past which was interrupted
by the failure of Sexton to appear and
also by his order stopping service on
the lines of the Eureka Nevada road
and the discharge of his employes. At
the time this order discontinuing ser
vice was made a section ot track had
leen washed away by flood waters. An
order was later issued by the commis
sion to compel Sexton to repair the
road and put it into operation again.
The road has been in service for sev
eral weeks.
Sexton has refused to attend the
meetings of the commission or to pay
any attention to some four or five or
ders issued by them concerning the op
eration of bis railway. The last sum
mons was directed to hm to attend the
meeting yesterday with a view, it is
said, of changing some of the orders
and terminating others.
The complaint under which the com
mission has been holding hearings, was
made by the Eureka Chamber of Com
merce which asks that rates be lowered
and that an investigation of the manage
ment of the line be made.
The Eureka organization was repre
sented yesterday by A. H. Johnson and
K. H. Walker. Mr. Walker is a traffic
expert for .the Reno Chamber of Com
merce and was retained by the Eureka
body to handle that end of their case.
Mr. Sexton was represented by P. A.
McCarran of Reno. Ro1ert Richards
appeared as counsel for the commis
sion. ,
