MUNICIPAL GAS is
STRONGLYINDORSED
Central Labor Union Gives Its Sup
port to ROthermel Bill-cOIpoys
and Smelling Make Addresses.

Strong Endorsement was again given
the Rothermei bill for the Federal own
ership Of the Washington Gasllght Com
pany and the Georgetown Gaslight Com
pany by organized labor last night a. the
weekly meeting Of the Central Labor
Union in typographical Temple. The
bill was discussed in detail, and II was
pointed out that government ownership
was the only means OF obtaining excel
lent service at reasonable rates.
A resolution indorsing the Rothermel
bill was introduced at a previous meet
ing and was referred to the legislative
committee for consideration, Last night
the committee reported favorably and
the resolution was adopted. The bill
suppored by John Colpoys and Milton
Smelling. president of the union, who
delivered addresses.
Despite the recent reduction in rates
from 81 to 50 cents" said Mr.. Solpoys.
''the gas bills in many cases are Just as
high as they formerly was. There is
something wrong. 1t cannot be that all
of these persons are using more gas.
The solution of the problem is govern
mental ownership
IF the government takes charge of the
gas plants we are sure to get god quality
gas at rates which will not be burden
some. The gas light companies have i'm
posed upon. us long enough. 1t is time TO
give the people of the District fair deal
ing"
Members Of the legislative committee
reported that they had interviewed Con-
gressmen upon the Rothermef bin, and
that they had heard nothing but words
OF hearty support for the measure. The
union will do all in its power to have
the bill enacted into law.

THAT QUALIFIED VERDICT"
Court of Appeals Hears Arguments
on Right of Jury,

The Court of Appeals yesterday heard
arguments on the question of the right
of jury to qualify its verdict in a first
degree murder case by adding the words
without capital punishment" The ques-
ton arises in the case OF Arthur johnson.
colored. under sentence of death by hang
ing, February Il, for the killing of John
Ofensteln. The case was tried before
Justice Wright. who held the code pun
ishment OF death is the only penalty pro-
vided by law in this jurisdiction for a
premeditated murder.
Until a decision has been handed down
there will be no more murder cases call
ed to trial in the District, according to
District Attorney Wilson. Former Dis
trict Attorney Baker asked the Court Of
Appeals tC be permitted to appear as the
friend Of the court because OF the public
interest involved in the question. At
torney Solomon. OF counsel for johnson,
objected on the ground that the appeal
of his client was based on different con-
tentions from those urged by Mr.. Baker
Chief; Justice Shepard. however, gave Mr..
Baker nfteen minutes in which to out
line his views. saying the court was anx-
ious to hear all phases-of the question.

DIRECTOR SoUSA HERE.
BACK from shooting Trip and About
10 Stage New Work.

John Philip Souss, the talented COM
poser and band director, arrived in Wash
ingtOn at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
from Warren County, y. c. where he has
been on shooting trip. He will remain

ments for the staging of the new opera

the staging Of his new opera, which will

The Washington herald., 1912-02-06

Blumenberg declared that he felt that
II was his duty to do this. He did not
recall that he had ever furnished any in
formation directly to Edward Hines. Sen
ator Lea tried to make the witness admit
that he had been directed to obtain in
formation for the Lorimer side. and that
he had communicated this information TO
them. but he denied II and said that he
could not recall that he had had any
conversation with Edward Hines
Senator Ee-n then demanded to know
OF the witness II he had not gone into
the restaurant in the Senate Once
building at the lunch hour and given
paper to Judge Hanecy. attorney for
Lorimer. Blumenherg admitted that he
had. and Ju'se Hanecy explained later
in the day that Elumenberg had simply
handed him a paper containing a list of
the names OF eleven Official reporters of
Congress. that Hanecy might have them
called as witnesses. These witnesses
will be called.
SlumenberE was furnished with the
book Of stenographic notes submitted
In evidence by the Burns stenographer,
Sheridan, and asked to point out TO the
committee wherein he believed they
bore evidence OF having been fabricated.
The witness declared that the short
hand characters. as they appeared in
the book. were too perfect to have been
made by any man. however expert. un-
der such circumstances as they purport-
ed TO have been made. He said they
showed no evidences Of corrections at
any point, but that the report was con-
tinuous. and that from time TO time
words had been written in in longhand.
Asks Confederation by Experts.
Whenever Blumenbergs opinion as an
expert was question. he simply countered
by inviting the committee to call the
whose names he read to the committee, TO
verify his expert opinion.
When asked why he had not communi-
Gated his suspicious TO the members OF
the committee instead OF to outside per-
sons and to the attorneys on one side.
he replied that he had had no oppor-
tunity to communicate with the men,
bers of the committee, as the matter
came up rather suddenly. Blumenberg
was still on the stand when the commit
tee adjourned at ) o'clock, and his ex-
animation will be continued this morn
ing.
The situation created by the startling
charges made by Blumenberg Saturday
night and his action, which broke up
the hearing. is one OF the most remark
able that has ever occurred in the his
tory Of Congress. The committee will
undoubtedly report the matter to the
Senate and ask for instructions as to
what course shall be taken in dealing
with Blumenberg for contempt. He has
not only been dismissed as Official re-
porter OF the committee, but has been
temporarily suspended as an Official re-
porter OF Senate debates and proceed
ings.

way to make practical tire of this
type.
That's why the demand for tires
which can't rim-cut centers on Good
year tires.
Then back of these tires are Is
years spent in tire making.
Every formula and fabric, method
and process has been tested out by
US on tire testing machines.
After Is years of this constant
comparison we have brought these
tires close to perfection. In all
probability, tires can never be made
any better.
Add to such tires the No-Rim-
Cut feature-add the oversize fea-
Nture-then think what tires you get.
And you get them, remember, at
the price Of the ordinary when you
insist on Goodyear No-Rim-Cut
tires.
How can any man question which
tires he should buy2
The Washington herald., 1912-02-06
100000 Tested Out

Over 100000 of these tires have
been sold. Their enormous advantage
is settled now beyond any possible
question.
In two years the demand has
multiplied six times over. Last
years sales exceeded the previous
II years put together.
For this year, l27 leading motor
car makers have contracted for
Goodyear tires.
When a tire thus outsells every
tire in existence it must be the tire
for you.
Same Price
The curious fact is that No-Rim-
Cut tires now cost the same. as
other standard tires. They used to
cost one-hfth more. -
The enormous demand has cut the
cost of production.
Now these tires which can't rim
cut cost the same as tires that do.
These oversize tires cost the same
as smaller tires. ...
The saving is clear.
