PIANO STOOLS MAY BE
FURNISHED MOTORMEN
Company Considers Installation of
New Type of Seat for "Subma-
rine" Type of Cars.

William Nick. Clayton. of the commit
tee on public utilities OF the Federation
OF Citizens Associations, requested the
Public Utilities Commission yesterday to
assist the federation in securing seats for
mOtOTmen on all the street cars of the
District. More than a year ago the fed
Grafton began A campaign for the relief
OF motoTmen. who up to that time were
required TO stand continuously.
As result of the federation's efforts
seats have been installed on all but the
".'ubmarine." or middle door, cars of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
plny. The installation of seats on these
cars has been delayed because it was
necessary to secure a different seat to
fit in the small space allotted the motor
men on this type of car.
The commission informed Mr.. Clayton
that il would wait another month before
taking up with the company the question
n installing seats on the submarine"
,ars- II is understood that he company
is now testing a seat resembling a piano
stool on these cars.

WITH HOLMES IN GOLDEN WEST
Traveller Takes Audience Through
Beautiful California

The genius of Burton Holmes as a trav-
eler who can bring back to his audiences,
rot alone by artistic Photographic studies,
but more particularly by descriptive
phrases. the scenic beauty and grandeur
OF u country. was seen at its best yester-
cay afternoon at the New National Thea
ter, when he closed his series of travel
talks With California"
The picture Journey began at San
Diego. with a little side trip into Old Mex
leo. where a bull fight was being held at
Tijuana.
The Panama California Exposition at
San Diego seemed to rival in beauty the
larger exposition at San Francisco.
Through the orange country, the way led
to Pasadena. and then to Universal City,
among the movie" multitudes, where
the filming of Farrlr'5 famous Carmen
was seen.
The missions OF California-San Gabriel
and Santa Barbara, those beacons of civ
ilizatlon in the will State of old CALI
fornia-were visited en- the way to Sc
quota National Park, where are the
giant trees.
A hike across the high Sierras to Yose-
mite Valley. with impressive views of
Mount Shasta. the most beautiful peak OF
California, concluded the lecture.

Daniels ORDERS CUT
IN POWDER PURCHASE
Secretary Also Says Gardner's Re
quest for Target Information Is
Wanted by Foreign Governments.

Testimony was given before the House
Naval Committee yesterday by Rear
Admiral Strauss, Chief Of the Bureau Of
Ordnance. that the bureaus estimate for
the purchase of Sl3oo0.OO0 worth OF
ammunition for the Use of the feet War
reduced to slO,0ooOo0 by order of SecretarS
Daniels. II is the general understanding
that this big cut in the ammunition item
was made by the Secretary of the Navy
after conference with President Wilson
on the estimate.
The intelligence that the Secretary OF
the Navy had directed this reduction
was a distinct shock to the advocates OF
preparedness on the naval committee
Admiral Strauss told the committee that
the estimate for powder was reduced on
the theory that battleships 80 and a
would not be completed for a number
of years, and that powder for these
vessels could be provided later
The Secretary of the Navy yesterday
made reply to a resolution introduced
by Representative Gardner, of Mass
achusetts. asking for information con-
cerntnG target practice on American
battleships. Refusing to disclose this
Mr.. Daniels said it was the
very sort that foreign governments were
seeking.

PREPARE NOW,' SAYS G.
BERNARD SHAW TO u. S.
DO Not Shrek at Consumption; Or

Letter to Committee.

DO not shrek at conscription organ
ize IT."
This is the. cryptic sdInonition Of @.
Bernard shaw TO the American people. as
contained in q letter nade public yester-
Cay by the anti-prepsredness committee.
Mr.. shaw sounds warning to the Amer
lean people 20 profit by Englsnd's exam
pie and prepare for war now. while there
is yet time.
Mr.. Shsw's letter follows:
"aay ] suggest that the proper busi-
ness Of an anti-miIits rism committee is
not TO denounce conscription. but 20 pre-
pare for IL by discussing and defining
the conditions on which citizens can ac-
cept military service in case OF need
without abandoning themselves to the
hopeless slavery OF the soldier.
This is the real preparedness which
the American people needs. The EnE-
lish nation did nothing but preach
against conscription. and declare that
free Englishme en- would never submit 20
IL. The result is now that Il had come. u
comes IN the form Of compulsory soldier
ing OF the Prussian type, with abandon
ment Of every civil right: helpless sub
mission to cruel and degrading punish

that number of Republican Senators will
