Alwyi i utia SOLD BY DRUGGISTS EVERYWHERE TODAY I Hal Li HAS NEW SITE Common Council, Voting That City Shall Have One, Finds More Favorable Place, Seneca Street from Albany to Hill. The City of Ithaca is to continue to have a curb market it was decided last evening at a special meeting of the common council called to consider the matter.

There was much discussion of the project and two very, definite sides were taken, but a resolution was finally adopted to continue with the project despite all efforts directed against it. The project of a enrb market has developed considerable hard feeling among the producers and city officers and the special meeting was called to determine whether the city would abide by a certain class of producers who were striving to maintain high prices for their products or would fol-1 low the example of other cities and run a curb market where consumers could purchase green food at reasonable prices. It was declared by one member that the present city market was a private concern catering more to the producer than the consumer, had been charging prices' higher to the extent of 100 per cent than markets of other cities and that the only way to compete with it and offer local buyers produce at reasonable prices was to take some drastic measure to interest producers. It was suggested that if necessary to reduce the cost of vegetables, truck should be run to the publio market of some nearby city, bay the produce the load and thus compete with the present market. Some High Price.

It was pointed out that tomatoes which were selling on the public mar ket of Syracuse for 50c a bushel were here selling at that price for half a bushel and even higher. It was maintained that with a new location more central than the curb market of the past week, producers would 'come in gradually increasing The producers were organized, at least a few of them were, the first commissioner said, and their policy was to keep the price up. After considerable arguing it was finally resolved to name four more on the present committee, to change the location of the market and to vary the hours. The present committee, consisting of Mayor Frank B. Davis, William Marshall, chief of police, and Commissioner Loui3 D-.

Neil will be augmented by a member appointed from the labor bureau by its president, a member of the board of commerce appointed by its president, a representative of the producers to be de cided on by the council and a member of the housewives, league, to be ap pointed by the mayor. This committee is 'to consult with organization such as the farm bur eau in an endeavor to make the curb market a success and necessity to both producer and consumer. The new location decided upon is both, sides of Seneca street from Albany east to the foot of the hill. Tha location is one block from State Street and capable of serving a greater number than the for mer market. The new location will be in use next Saturday, the Wednesday market be ing held in the old location.

The hours have been changed from 6 to 11, to 7 to 11; a. m. A fee of 15 cents will be charged each producer. Jack Osmun, market master, will be in charge. LINES OF FRESHMEN THRONG WAYS TO IflLL The registration of freshmen in Cornell University, which began at Morrill Hall yesterday morning, is still continuing today.

WORK WAr IN COLLEGE The employment agency in Barnes Hall, on the university campus, is being swamped with requests for work by students who desire to work their way through the university or do something toward this end.

LAW IS ASKED TO FIX FARES Traction Companies, Facing Bankruptcy, They Say, Would Have Powers of Commission Enlarged Urge Assemblymen to Suspend Views.

Following court decisions to the effect that the public service commission has no power to grant increase trolley fares, an attempt on the part of traction companies to secure passage by the state legislature of a bill similar to the' ill-fated Carson-Martin measure, which provided for the enlargement of the powers of the public service commission to fix rates, has already been started. A. W. Loasby of Syracuse, president of the bankers' and investors committee of the New York State Electric Railway Association has sent out a letter to every assemblyman In the state indicating the purpose of the system' officers to get financial relief by a loosening of present limitations. The letter points out that the trolley systems in the state are face to face with bankruptcy unless some means Is provided for additional revenue.

By doing away with franchise limitations and empowering the Public Service Commission to fix lates, the trolley roen believe that the situation can be met. Higher fares, or exemption from local assesments or both offer an avenue of relief the officials believe but ueith-er of these are possible unless franchise restrictions ar? waived by the various communities. Interests of Investors. Mr. Loasby asks all candidates for nomination to the assembly to refraLi from pledging themselves in advance of election either for or against legis lation to give the trolley companies relief.

The letter says in part: "For the purpose of representing the thousands of men and women of the state who have their means or some part of them invested in these properties, and those, who, regardless of financial interest, feel that a failure to pass such legislation wUl result in general bankruptcy of the cTectric transportation companies, the collapse of the service upon which depends the normal business life of all the communities, great and small, of the state, and a resulting setback to its progress and prosperity, a committee has been constituted, of which I am chairman, of which intends when the legislature Js in session, to urge upon its members the settlement of this question upon sound economic principles and tht such principles point to th? wisdom of conferring the power to fix fares in regardless of restrictions imposed, in earlier and different days, upon the Public Servica Commission."

W. Ray Against Police Try to Show Plaintiff Had Ample Opportunity for Bail Trial Nears End. The false arrest case of W. Der-wood Ray against Captain William La- France and Patrolman Clarence French of the Ithaca Police Depart ment was submitted to the Jury early this afternoon. Most of the members of the Ithaca Police Department, City Judge Daniel Crowley and other Ithacans were on the stand this morning in the case of W.

Derwood Ray against two Ithaca police officers, Captain William La Fraifce and Patrolman Clarence French, in supreme court before Justice Rowland L. Davis of To prove that Ray had ample opportunity to obtain bail on the night of May 24 last, when he was arrested at the corner of State and Corn Streets and taken to the police station, where he was locked in a cell until the next morning, Sunday, was the apparent objectives of Attorney John D. Collins, for the defense, in swearing most of these witnesses, following the closing of the plaintiffs case yesterday afternoon. Besides Captain La France, Patrolman Marion Frost, Matthew, La France, George Houghton and Patrolman Patrick Hartnett testified that they were in the station that night and heard Captain La France refuse Ray permission to telephone City Judge Daniel Crowley at the latter's home, as the judge had instructed the police not to call him during the night hours; that Ray was told that his bail was $50 and that he was locked up after failing to telephone anyone for the money. City Judge Crowley testified that he came to the station the next morning, Sunday, and.

when Ray was brought out on the latter's promise to appear in city court the following morning, he allowed him to go home. He said that the next day the chief or Sergeant Helm appeared with Patrolman French's complaint in court and that Ray was sworn, and then dismissed, no entry of the case being made on the docket. The police did not seem ti wish to push the case and Attorney Murray. Poole who appeared for Ray, did ask for trial, the judge said. Thomas Thorpe; an autcioneer, who rents the barn near State and Corn Streets, where Ray was arrested by Patrolman French the night of May 24, Spring Day, for alleged disorderly was asked if the billboard around which Ray was found was on -rivate or public property and he asserted 'that it was owned by private nersons who collected rent for its use.

Plaintiff's Side Yesterday, Attorney Earle Costello, of the firm of Cheney and Costello of Corning, appeared for Ray, examined Ray and Calvin Newhart, associate of Ray, as to the facts of the arrest and his spending the night In a cell at police station, and rested. New-hart told of a telephone conversation with La France, who was at the Side-Board Restaurant that night, in which he asked if he could see Ray and the captain answered that Ray's bail was $50. The case in which Ray asks $10,000 damages for false arrest will probably go to the Jury this afternoon.
