CHEAP SCHOOL TICKETS
Bill Reported Establishing
Decentralization Fare
on Street Railways.

The House Of Representatives received
today Representative Dyers report on
the bill to establish a 2h cent fare
for school children In the District Of
Columbia. Representative Dyer incor-
porated few amendments In the report,
to cover coach companies as well as
street railway companies. and limiting
the use Of these school tickets to school
days II the bill becomes a law, the rail-
way and coach companies will sell forty
tickets for q dollar to be used by school
children going to and coming from
school, The. original bill specified that
school children should be given; tickets
at half fare" which was construed to
mean one half the price of q car ticket,
which Is four and sixth cents.
II think this bill will pass" said Mr..
Dyer today, land Furthermore 1 think
it fair one for all concerned I am
sure the railroad companies will do
business under this bill that they did
not do before. The school children
hours as a rule are lax hours for the
railroad companies"
The Commissioners were not entirely
in favor Of this bill. as they believed
it would be better to wait until the
utilities bill or the transfer bill was
disposed of.

Assessor Richards Unable to
Keep Records of Hear

The investigation Of methods of assess

Quoted by a subcommittee Of the House
District committee, with Representative
Henry George. jr., as chairman, today
brought out the fact that no record Is
kept Of appeal hearings in the Office of
the assessor of the District. Assessor W..
P. Richards, who occupied the stand
again this morning, stated that he would
welcome the installation Of such a sys-
tenn, but that the present office force is
inadequate for such service.
Difficulties Encountered.
Assessor Richards stated that frequent
,ly assessment of property is made when
owners are out of the city and 1t is i'm
possible to obtain from them accurate in
formation. In such instances. he said.
the board Of assistant assessors places an
assessment on the property which they
are certain Is two-thirds Of its value. and
II 1t is too high, owners are given the op-
portunity to appeal.
The morning session was occupied prin-
cipally in an investigation Of the amounts
Of assessment on land in the northwest
section of the city. The hearing probably
will be continued for a week, or longer.

FLOODS HURT MAIL SERVICE.
Reports Made to Hitchcock Show
TRANSPORTATION Is IRREGULAR.

The flood situation in the Mississippi
valley south of Memphis remains as
serious as reported some two weeks ago
so far as the transportation of the mails
is concerned. Reports made to Post
master General Hitchcock by the various
representatives of the railway mail serv-
ice in that section indicate that in many
sections it will not be possible to re-
establish regular mail service for thirty
days at least. Some time ago the Post
master General directed that temporary
mail service by boat be established
wherever possible, and in view of the
continued serious conditions he has is
sued instructions that the order be ex-
tended.
Interruptions In the handling Of mail as
a result of the Mississippi floods during
the past few weeks have been more seri-
GUS than at any other time in the history
OF the postal service. and from present
indications 1t viii be some time before
regular service can be operated in the
lower valley.

Liquor interests to Oppose the

WILL CARRY WAR TO HOUSE
Bill Passes the Senate by an Over
whelming Vote.
FEATURES OF THE DEBATE
Senator Hepburn Favors License
Tax on Drinkers and Prohibition
OF Treating Custom.

Liquor interests throughout the United
States. including big brewers and dis
tiilers, will be enlisted in fight to pre-
vent the House from passing the Jones'
Works bill for the more stringent regula-
ton of the liquor business in the District.
which was agreed to by the Senate yes
terday afternoon. This IL the statement
OF the representatives Of local liquof in
terests today. and they predict that the
hight will become nationwide because
Of the fact that congressional action
along this line will have a nationwide
influence.
1t is predicted that the LIQUOR interests
IN each congressional district will pro-
test to the individual members Of the
House against the legislation on the
ground that it is prohibition" legisla-
ton and the people of the District
do not want "prohobition." Should
this plan be carried out, it is anticipated
that the "drys'' throughout the country
will get busy: to counterfeit the efforts
Of the "wets." and a Widespread fight
over this bit Of District legislation is
practically assured
By Overwhelming Vote.
The passage Of the bill in the Senate
yesterday followed q brief discussion and
the vote was overwhelmingly in favor Of
the measure. On a test roll call, only
two votes-those OF Senator MARITIME Of
New Jersey and Senator Chiffon of West
Virginia-were cast against the bill. Be-
cause of the lack Of a quorum, the actual
passage Of the bill was without division.
but the test vote of 80 to 2 showed the
sentiment OF the Senate
Most unique of all the suggestions that
were made in connection with the bill was
that of Senator Hepburn. He urged that
licenses were now issued to the wrong
person; that they should be issued to the
drinker. It Is the drinker that misbe-
HAYES in the saloon. that causes trouble
and that spreads the drinking habit
through treating, Mr.. Hepburn argued,
and the drinker is, therefore. the one to
be licensed"

Amendment Defeated.
When the vote was taken, Senator Mar
tines AYE" was the only one heard, and
there was a chorus of noes"
Senator Jones proposed several amend
ments. making verbal corrections in the
bill. and one prohibiting the granting Of
license for a saloon within $50 feet OF the
terminal railway station at 36th and M
streets. An. amendment offered by Sena-
tor Works. and adopted, will allow the
establishment of wholesale liquor places
In the residential portions Of the District
The restriction against the establishment
of saloons In the residence sections is

After Senator Heyburn's discussion the
vote on the passage of the bill was taken
The vote was 80 to 2, showing that less
than quorum had voted. Senator Smoot
asked the calling OF the roll for q quorum.
The pairs had prevented the showing OF
quorum on the vote, but on the roll call
to determine the number present quo
rum was shown to be in the chamber. IT
looked as II the passage Of the bill would
be prevented, despite the overwhelming
sentiment in its favor. by the mere lack
Of quorum. That difficulty was over

on the passage Of the bill should be taken
