Co. COMMISSION TO SIT AT SCRANTON IN PITTSTON CASE Pursuing its decision to go to the scene of complaints for evidence, Pennsylvania's new public service commission will sit at Scranton the week of June 21 to take testimony cases from this region. The complaint of the Pittston City school district and the Pittston Merchants' Protective association against the Citizens' Electric Illuminating Co.

will be considered by the board at Junc 22. The complaints alleged that session at Hotel Casey on Tuesday, the rates of the respondent company are discriminatory and unfair and asked a readjustment. Hearings were held in Harrisburg and also at Scranton. Just before Governor Brumbaugh named his new commission, the old board handed down a ruling that the petitioners had established prima facie case of discrimination. is not definite just where the new body will begin' its consideration the case, but local lawyers incline the belief that it will ta'ke it up just where the old board dropped it.

It is expected that many Pittston people will be subpoenaed to testify in. the interesting action. The new has settled down to a six-weeks' session in which the members expect to clear up the This week the commission is sitting in Pittsburg and next weel. will be at Harrisburg. The former board, almost without exception, neld its hearings at the State capitol and there was much dissatisfaction over compelling witnesses to journey to the capital rather than the board going to the complaints.

This led to the adoption new policy by the commission. PRESIDENT STANDS PAT ON HIS MESSAGE (Continued From rage One.) military element. Inasmuch, however, as Bryan has declared himself hopeful that American public sentiment would be roused to influence the I'resident, officials suggested that the ferlin foreign office would take that into consideration. and adopt a conciliatory attitude that Germany might be able to take. advantage 0..

any change of policy later on. It was not expected that the German reply would reach this country for another ten Ambassador storff's. communications to his government now 'being carried Berlinward by Meyer Gerard, cannot get there until the latter part of this week. Count Von Bernstorif has impressed upon the German government that the suggestions he has sent are of the must extreme importance. Because of this fact the President will not ask Ambassador Gerard to hurry the reply.

He will be instructed to deliver note and then to keep in touch with- the German government until the reply is complete. As heretofore, Ambassador Gerard is expected to keep the President well informed as to the trend of official information. It is expected that the reply to the last note will be passed cn to a cabinet council, but it is hoped here that the Kaiser personally will shape the comn.unication, If he does so they believe that concessions will be made regardless of the position taken by the militarists. It is accepted that it is in the Kaiser that the best hopes of America's cause rest. He has always been friendly to the United States and it is known here in Washington that more than any of his subjects realizes that after the war is over, no matter what the outcome, Germany will find the cordial friendship of the United States useful.
