COLO CARS
SENT OUT
FROM BARNS
NO EFFORT BEING MADE BY
CITY TO ENFORCE NEW
ORDINANCE.

There have been repeated viola
lions by the street railway compan-
les in the last three days of the
new city ordinance requiring street
cars to be heated to temperature
of 60 degrees.
1t is believed that it is the inten-
ton of the street railway compan-
les to ignore the ordinance, and
there seems to be no disposition on
the part of the city authorities to
enforce it.
Last Thursday car No. 1913 on the
Washington Water Power line and
again yesterday car No. 81 of the
same company, both trippers on the
Pacific-Lidgerwood line, were sent
out from the barns with the temper
ature below 80, or freezing. The
early tripper cars on the w. w. P.
were sent out on these two days as
cold as icebergs. and with the win
dows coated with thick white
frost, indicating that there was no
effort made to heat the cars before
they left the barn.
The city authorities are probably
too busy to see what the companies
are doing in the matter of looking
after public comfort, as provided
by this ordinance.

Then he ran out.
He was closely followed by
Smith and White. Smith yelled

with the cylinder removed, yelled:

Without a doubt the most inter-

CLAWS, the prosecuting witness. His
grasp of the intricacies of the Alas

amazing. When on the witness
stand he talked with a funny little
lisp, twisting his "rs" into "Ts" and
sat with his tall body doubled up
like jack knife. Nothing feazed
him, but he was very insistent on
being permitted to tell his story in
his own way. and that was with a
wealth of detail that sometimes
made Chairman Nelson extremely
restless. ..r...

WHO WILL BE ''lT'@ I'm GREAT
GAME OF TAG AT WASHINGTON?

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia very
interesting game of tag is being
played in palatial suite No. 210 of
the senate office building.
Twelve men are chasing that
elusive will-o'-the-wisp, Truth.
Ahead of them looms marathon of
pursuit, through the wilderness OF

serves and on the wastes of far off

bare who have their opera glasses

mostly interested-apart from the
main issue-in the human side of
the affair. The average spectator
at the hearings thus far has been
satiated as much with personalities
as with testimony. The committee
and the principals in the squabble
form a variegated exhibit.
For instance, there Is CLAWS, the
naive. the quiet, the emotionless,
and Pinchot. the dominant, aggres-
sive and defiant; Nelson, who
chews tobacco, suits audibly and is
on the job every minute, and Root,
