VOICE OPPOSITION
TO cRQSsER BILL
William D. Kerr and Clarke
N. Rosecrantz Disapprove
Municipal Ownership.

Further opposition to the Crosser bill
providing for municipal ownership OF
the street railways of the District OF
Columbia was voiced today before the
District committee of the House by Will
liam D. Kerr director OF the public serv-
ice economics bureau Of New York city,
and Clarke M. Rosecrantz attorney for
several public service corporations OF
Milwaukee and Wisconsin. The hearing
was interrupted by call of the House,
but continued In the afternoon.
MIR. Kerr, in the course Of his argu-
ment. said:
"a street railway subsidized by the
public treasury without question can be
made to render social service depend
ing in amount only on the extent of the
subsidization. The sentiment of promot-
ing social service is commendable, but
the realization of ideal often is costly.
None of the municipal or state enter
prises proposed in this country to date
has been based on the principle of su :
sidizing the public service for public
gains.
District Would Foot Deficits.
The project for the District of Co
lumbia to purchase and operate street
railways must be considered from a
commercial standpoint. The federal gov
ernmeht expressly disclaims liability for
interest charges, and any deficits which
might be incurred would become charge
on the District of Columbia
Further, he said that public owner
ship of a commercial monopoly is per-
nictous, in that it is subject to no regu-
lation.
where the balance sheet test is ap-
Piled, experience with unregulated mo-
nopoly does not promise well. he said.
"Pubiic ownership lacks the initiative and
the aggresiveness that comes with self
interest Public administrative officers
for the most part hold Office for periods
of from two to five years. The term of
office Of the District Commissioners is
three years. The legislative bodies which
ordinarily determine the policies are con-
stantly changing their personnel, and the
policies are subject to just as rapid
change"

SEES CHEAP HYPOCRISY"
IN POSTAL DEPARTMENT \ /
Representative R Humphrey Says Civil
Service Rules Are Being
Violated.

The Internal cheap hypocrisy of the
Post Office Department" was the text of
a sharp speech made late yesterday in
the House by Representative Humphrey.
republican, Of Washington.
THE department prates about the civil
service rules and then violates them in
practice This administration, from the
President down. has had a great deal to
say through the newspapers about OBJ
serving the civil service rules
Mr.. Humphrey read a letter from the
fourth assistant postmaster general, in
which it was stated:
In no case is a second or third eligible
to be selected. unless the appointment of
the eligible, or eligibles, standing higher
has been shown to be inadvisab BILE from
the standpoint of the greatest efficiency
in the postal service
Cites Indiana Situation.
Representative Humphrey continued:
inat referred to the appointment of
rural carriers. The Postmaster Cen
eral has several times declared that
this is the policy of the department.
After receiving the letter l remembered
that the state Of Indiana was at this
time not represented in either branch of
Congress by a. republican, so l wrote
the civil service commission letter and
asked them to give me the last cases
where certification had been made for
appointment of rural carriers in that
state. They sent me what had occurred
since the first day of last January AS
remember, at eighteen different times
names were certified for appointment for
rural carriers in the state of Indiana.
three names, of course, being certified in
each instance.
:'Out of those eighteen certiacations
only four times was the highest man
appointed. 1t is fair to say that In two
other cases the lowest man was appoint
ed because the highest man did not
take the place. or the civil service
rules were violated absolutely twelve
times out of the eighteer-a fair av-
erase for tlis democratic administration
in doing what it promises. In all the
others the second or third man was ap-
pointed to the position. 1 took occasion
to write letters 10 those who had not
been appointed. Not a single one of
them knew why they were rejected.
none Of them knew 1t if any objections
mad been filed against them. In every
case where an appointment was made
OIL other than tie highest man the ap-
pGIniIne mt went to a democrat What a
remarkable coincidence! l undertake to
say q. the floor of this House now that
according to the very best information
thst l can Chain there has not been
single appointment made in the state
OF Indiana under this administration of
rural carrier except he was a demo-
crat. Strange they cannot find a demo
crat in Indiana that can stand first in
the civil service examination!'

ARMY GAME
MAY COME HERE
Probability of lis Being Played
in Washington Next Fall
- Considered Good.

The Army-Navy foot bail game may
be played in Washington next fall and
every other year thereafter for ten
years. The representatives of the two
institutions at meeting held here
about two months ago entered into an
agreement to this effect, provided that
ample seating accommodations could be
provided at the National Capital.
The substance of the agreement be-
tween the authorities of the two schools
is that the Navy shall have the right
to select the place one year and the
Army to have the same privilege the
next. The Navy wants the contest to
take place in Washington, rather than
in New York. as being most desirable
from its standpoint, while the Army
will choose the Polo Grounds again lor
the same reason. This arrangement is
to stand for ten years.
The officers Of the Washington base
Dall club are preparing piAlls ,or M
creasing the seating capacity of the
grounds OF the ball club to meet the
requirements Of the Army and Navy
game, which will be submitted at an
early day to the athletic authorities at
the Naval Academy.
The plans may provide for extending
and douDle-decking the two paviiionS,
in addition to temporary stands IN the
center field.
Efforts to Obtain Game.
Strenuous efforts have been made for
several years by Washington business
organizations to bring the game to this
city, 1t being urged that no more suit
able place for it could be found. Now
that it appears to be fairly certain the
game will be played here, it is source
OF satisfaction to those interested.
The game will. also. take the place of
the annual contest between Georgetown
and Virginia, which has heretofore been
the center of attraction Of the foot ball
season. After the break in athletics be-
tween these two schools last fall, 1t
looked very much as If the 1914 sea-
son would be rather uninterestins as lar
as Washington was concerned Such a
brilliant affair as that between the Army
and Navy will more than make up the
lack of other big contests. There Is not
the least doubt that it will furnish
Washington with the most brilliant at
fair of the kind the city has ever known.
Only one factor may yet intervene to
prevent the final carrying out of the
present agreement, which is that the
Army may come to the conclusion that
the trip to Washington is longer than it
cares to undertake. and to go to Franklin
Field in Philadelphia yearly would be
more satisfactory. This would probably
find favor with the Navy also, as that
has been its contention all the time

"THE POOR MANS POPE"

Plus x died, as he lived, poor man.
AS boy, priest, cardinal and patriarch
he had tested out the chastening bene-
fits Of poverty. He had given to the
poor so steadily and consistently that
he was one of them, says the Minnea-
polls Journal. When he came to wear
the triple crown, the habit of poverty
did not desert him, and he built up no
personal fortune. Indeed, he was faip
to ask in his will, now made public
that modest pensions be granted his
sisters. Precedent would have sustain
ed him in showering honors and luxur-
les upon his immediate family, but he
did no such thing.
In his high ideals of the priesthood
and it's functions of trusteeship Gui-
seppo Sarto, .humbly born and risen
