PUPILS HALF RATE
GETS A SETBACK
District Commissioners File Report
0bjecting to Reduced Street
Car School Fares.

Relterating their belief that the Gre
alton OF a public utilities commission
win solve all the questions between peo-
pie of the District and public service
corporations. the Commissioners yester-
day transmitted TO Congress an adverse
report on the bill introduced in the House
TO require the street railway companies
TO grant one-half rates TO public school
children.
The Commissioners in the report de-
ciAired their belief that all energy should
be concentrated on the utilities commits
sion measures instead OF on a score OF
separate issues which are provided for
in the public service commission bills
Ere unable TO indorse the bill until an
investigation has been made TO deter
mine whether the cost of transporting
public school pupils is less than that OF
transporting other classes of people.
The Commissioners invite attention to
the fact that there are now pending be-
fore the District Committees of the
House and Senate, bills TO regulate pub
lie utilities In the District OF Columbia,
and comforting upon the Commissioners
the duties and powers OF a public utili-
ties commission" reads the report of
the District officials.
1T is hoped that Congress will soon
enact law on the subject. and IL Il is
enacted along the lines provided for in
these bills, the public utilities commits
sion would be authorized to investigate
the cost of operation of street railways,
and as q result of such investigation. de-
termine whether the cost OF transporting
public school pupils is less than the cost
Of transporting other classes Of the
public.
sSTbe commissioners bava M suoh ,n-
formation at hand at the present time.
and are, therefore, unable to report in
telligently on this measure. When such
an investigation and report Is made. the
matter can be presented to Congress, or
IL the public utilities bill should be
amended so as 10 provide that the COM
mission would have the authority TO reg
ulate fares charged by street railway
companies, the commission could by or
der provide special rates to be charged
for transporting public school pupils, or
other classes OF the public"

Lexington, Ky.-Acting on the be-
lief that a man with confidence in
himself and his fists seldom carries
a pistol President Henry S. Baker of
Kentucy state University has arrang-
ed to offer to the students four tro-
phies for championships in boxing
The trophies are for the feather
weight, lightweight, middle-weight
and heavyweight classes. Regular
instruction in boxing as a part of the
athletic department is to be started
Immediately.
A number of the students have
shown cleverness at boxing in un-
coached and unofficial bouts at the
university and there has been con-
siderable demand for instruction in
this branch of athletic work.
The college authorities have recog-
nized the validity of the argument
that the trained boxer seldom carries
a weapon. SO it has been decided to
start the course in boxing not later
than Feb. /. A large attendance of
the students has already been as
sured.

ton in order to Save His Life.
Lewiston Idaho.-At st. Joseph
hospital both feet and hands of Dan
Heather, we'll and familiarly known
throughout northern Idaho and east
ern Washington as "King Oscar" were
amputated, this being necessary to
save the mans life.
On the night of January 6 Heather
started from Asotin to his placer
property on Captain John creek,
about 10 miles distant. and on the
way dropped to the road falling
asleep with the thermometer below
zero and the ground covered with
several inches of snow. His faithful
dog was his only companion and the
unfortunate man remembers of being
awakened by the animal tugging at
his sleep. Attempting to arise,
Heather found his limbs frozen and
then crawled for distance of two
and a half miles on his knees to a
farm house where he was taken in
and brought to this city on the fol-
lowing
1t was feared at the time he was
placed under the care of physicians
here that it would be necessary to re-
move the frozen parts, but owing to
objections on the part of the man
and his brother this was postponed in
hope that complications might not set
in to make such move imperative.
The last few days have seen de-
cided change in Heather's condition

Man Who Stole Chickens Must Wed
Brothers Widow With Children.

Columbus, Ohio.-The Ohio Par

ognize chicken stealing as mania
amounting to a disease. Comment
ing Officially on the peculiarities of
the ailment, they have pardoned
George Sheets of Toledo, now serv-
ing his eighth year of a fifteen year
term for chicken stealing.
In an effort to aid Sheets in cur
ing himself of the mania his pardon
is conditional on his promise to
avoid evil companions and associations
and to marry his brothers widow,
with seven children, now living in
Toledo.
Sheets fifteen year sentence was
imposed because twice before he had
been convicted of stealing, once for
