In her complaint Mrs. Mayer says that her husband entered Miss McGill' 3 employ early in 1912. She charges that be began attentions to Miss McGill April 23, 1912, and that since then the two have made long automobile trips together, going to Massachuetts, New Hampshire and other states.

The New York Central met the competition with a 24-hour train, in spite of the fact that it had 72 miles farther to go to reach New York. This greater distance was one factor in causing the New York Central to lengthen its schedule a year ago without waiting for its competitor to do the same. The extra fare tn the Pennsylvania 5-hour train will be $3, Instead of $4, and. as now, a refund of $1 an hour, up to the amount of the extra fare, will be paid for every hour the train is late in arriving.
