Columbus, Ohio March 27.-With
many towns in the Scioto and Mus

impossible to gather information that
would tell the extent of the flood in
these regions. There Is undoubtedly
loss of life in these two valleys, but

influenced Motor TruckinEffecting Traffic Reforms
Changes Must Be Made to Relieve COngeSted CenterS

motor truck can exercise in effecting
traffic reforms, it must be candidly
stated that the motor truck per Sc is
no cure all for traffic congestion or to
bring about economies unless it is util-
lied in a way to take advantage of its
latent possibilities-by latent possibih-
ties we mean the greater inherent
speed, its immunity from weather con-
ditions, its immunity to fatigue, which
means keeping 1t operating for the
maximum possible working hours Of
the day. If the waiting time of load
ing and unloading time is approximate
ly the same for motor truck as for
horse vehicle, the waste of the motor
truck is decidedly greater than for the
horse truck. as the motor truck de
mands an investment several times
larger than the average double-horse
team and fixed and operating charges
are very much greater.
We predict that the agitation against
traffic congestion can not take def
mite form until we get at the root of
the trouble namely, that the increase
of population, increase of business in
creased demands FOR greater CELEBRITY of
movement of merchandise, increasing
competition in business, will force the
enactment of legislation in the next ten
years aimed TO prevent the use of
horse vehicles in cities of 100000 pop
ulation. By that time the number of
motor trucks then in service viii have
taught the lesson which custom and
habit in using horse vehicles is so diff
f1cult to eliminate in the mind of the
public to-day, that a motor truck is the
only transportation tool in the scheme
of advancing civilization that can
bring about a more rapid more eff
cient, more convenient, more economi-
cal and a more humane method Of
transporting goods over public high
ways.

IN PATCHING TUBES,
DON'T ROUGHEN THE
SURFACE OF RUBBER

Blowout and inner tube patches are
now ordinarily carried as a part Of the
tire equipment of all cars, but it is ad-
visable for all novice drivers to learn
how TO adjust these before tackling the
long road. The blowout patch Is, OF
course, merely slipped in the outer shoe,
covering the rent from the inside ana
held in place by the inflated inner tube.
But the adjustment of the patch on the
latter requires more care.
Many drivers make the mistake of
roughening the tube surface around the
puncture and the inner side Of the patch
with a knife or bit of sandpaper. This
is unnecessary and dangerous, as the
only object is to clean the rubber of all
dirt and rough particles This can bet
ter be accomplished by rubbing the
portions which are to receive the rubber
solution thoroughly with a rag dipped
in gasoline.
A clean, smooth surface will hold the
patch better than a rough one. Above
all. water must be kept away from the
surfaces which are to be treated, as
water win prevent the solution. which
excludes air, from adhering.
Usually the patching solutions one
buys are too thick for quick use. but
this can be remedied by thinning with a
little gasoline. Care should be taken
that the solution is wen set on both
patch and tube before applying, as. if it
is put on soft, and a start made, the
patch is quite likely to slip and undo all
that has been accomplished. This is
especially true in hot weather when
the friction of the road unduly heats
the tires
If. in spite of all precautions and all
attempts at repairs, it is found impOs-
sible to make the tire do, the latter
should be entirely removed from the
rim. If coil of rope is included in the
equipment of the car the rim may be Sc
curely wrapped with it, and will thus
be kept from striking the hard ground

 From Final WOYk
 Or TariU Bill

WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept H. With minority members of the con ference committee barred from the proceedings. as it was said would be the custom. the democratic majority in charge of the final work on the tariff revision bill began today the work of adjusting the conflicts be- tween the senate and house. At the end a short afternoon session. the democrats completed the work of the chemical schedule of the bill and rep resentative Underwood and senator Simmons predicted progress toward a complete agreement would be speedy and harmonious.
 The democratic conferees did not call minority conferees in until they had settltd all the phases of the tar if dispute. The conference which began today was participated in by senators simmons, Williams, ShiveIy and Johnson. and representatives Un- derwood, Dixon, Kitchen and Rainey. Representative Murdock, Progressive named by the conference committee from the house, appeared at the con ference room early in the afternoon but when he found the democrats working separately on the bill he made no effort to join the conference.
 In today's session house members yielded to the senate on the majority amendments, accepting the senates lower rates on the most of the dis puted items Democratic conferences meet daily in morning and after noon sessions, and republican mem bers probably will not be called in until the later part of next week. La Toilette intimated today he con siders the procedure of the demo- crats unusual in working over the bill without their associates named from the two houses, but other mem bers of the committee said the meth cd pursued was in line with prece- dents established in other tariff re visions.

CHICAGO. Sept. 11.-Charges of criminal conspiracy were filed in the United States district court today against Federal Judge K. M Landis Assistant District Attorneys ElWood G. Goodman and Harry P Larkin and MT. and Mrs. L. c. Silver.
 The charges were made by At torney Hyman Epstein, based on af- fidavits of Max Gerber, a convict at Fort LeaVenWorth, made while Ep- stein was serving a fifteen months sentence in Leavenworth for per jury committed before Landis.
 Epstein charged he had been sent to prison on the strength of a con spiracy framed by Lahdis, the two government attorneys and MT. and Mrs. Silver. Epstein represented Silver in bankruptcy proceeding. Silver confessed to perjury and gave testimony that resulted in Epstein's conviction. Gerber, who was a cell mate of Silver. stated in an affi- davit that Silver told him the testi- mOny which sent Epstein to prison was false.
