CLASH Of PASSENGERS
WITH R. R. EMPLOYEES
Refusal to Pay Increased Fare Al
legged Cause of Trouble Aboard
Old Dominion Cars.

Passengers residing on the Washing
ton and Old Dominion railwaT-the
Great Falls trolley line-who arrived
in Washington this morning reported
scenes of violence between some Oh
their number and employees OF the COM
pany. during which two of the pas
sengers, according to statements thev
made. were dragged from the cars by
employees of the company for refusing
to pay the increased fare schedule re-
Gently put into operation by the COM
pany. J. Z. Davis, general passenger
agent of the company, however, today
denied that any violence was used, ana
declared that the passengers in ques-
tion were peaceably elected, in the pres
ence of Sheriff Field. who saw to it
that there was no violation of the law.
Names of Elected Passengers.
The men who said they were dragged
from the car are W. W. Burns of the
patent office, who lives at Franklin
Park, and Cyrus Mantz, jr.. who lives
at Spring Hill. Many reports of long
delays to cars were brought to the city
by some of the passengers, one instance
being that of the car which leaves
Great Falls at 1888 and winch az,
though due here at S:2s o'clock, did
not arrive. it is stated. until $3.50 O'CLOCK
O'clock
J. E. jerks of the National Capital
Press Washington. who lives on lhe
line. said the alleged violence reported
this morning followed meetings held
last night at Mclean station and
Franklin Park by patrons of the line
who are incensed because of the IN
creased fare schedule recently put into
effect by the company. 1t was directly
due. he said. to the refusal of the COM
pany's employees to give receipts Tor
the fares paid or the tickets offered by
the passengers.
Mr.. Davis said the car on which Mr..
Burns and Mr. Mantz rode was stopped
at Thrifton and the passengers were
elected. without violence, as the com
pany's employees had refused to give
receipts for tickets which were In
emselves receipts, because they rep
pany.
Up to Interstate Commission.
The case will be decided by the in
terstate commerce commission Mr..
Davis said The passengers have ap-
peaIed to that tribunal. and we can do
nothing but go on as we are until that
decision is received
Mr.. jerks said:
Passengers who were more or less
roughly handled obtained the names
of the employees OF the road, whom
they allege resorted to violence, and
declared their intention of obtaining
warrants for the arrest of those in
dividuals. in addition to taking such
legal action as would be justified by
the inconveniences and delays imposed
upon them when they had paid their
fares and were entitled, they assert,
to uninterrupted passage to the Wash
ington terminal"

MYSTERIOUS TRACKS
 IN THE OLD LAVA

TROUTLAKE. Wash, Nov. l5.- Creating much interest among sci entists are human foot and hand prints in lava rock near Goose lake about Is miles from TroutlaIe There are two hand prints in the lava and back of them are two hG- man foot prints, made as though by man falling forward. For 'lany years, at intervals, the report has reached this place of the tracks but it was regarded as myth. But recently the report was verified ty forest rangers who had seen ;he tracks, and photographs were made of them.
 It is reported that tracks of deer and other animals have also been seen in the lava. It had always been believed that nothing living roamed in this country when tho lava flowed. but HOW this belief Is shat tered.

Jesus came to save sinners and that you are so considered by Him as one for whom He died. God permits His sun to shine on the just and the unjust and you need not com pliment yourself that you are going to have nothing to account for iE the future because you may think you are self-righteous. God justi- fies the ungodly and that takes you up just where you now are; it meets you in your worst estate. Therefore you may come 10 Jesus

SILENCE HERE ON

Washington, d. C., Nov. 23.-
increasing frequency of attacks
by German submarines upon AM
erlcan vessels or others bearing
American citizens, with the con-

quiry of Berlin for facts, has led
to the adoption of a policy OF 81
lence on the part of the state de-
partment. Officials let it be
known today that such course
was considered necessary because
most of the cases investigated
developed no violation of inter
national law and premature dis
cusslon was calculated to stir up
useless excitement in the United

THAT LITTLE BOND
MIDDLE OF OURS

Water, water, everywhere, but
not drop to drink" was well
demonstrated at the special meet
ing of the city council and the
Water, Light and Bond Commits
sion, when the matter of disposing
OF the school bonds was under
discussion. The bonds, through
a technical flaw in their fl
nal valuation, have been refused
by the firm who purchased them
from the commission. The con-
tractors of the buildings have
partially erected one of the build
ings and the city has borrowed
several thousand dollars for adj
vance payment for the contractors
on the strength of the sale of the
bonds.
1t also developed that we have
a sinking fund Of $4,000, most of
which is lent at 4 per cent to Our
local banks. The banks have
more money on hand than they
ever had, but the legal right of the
city to borrow is in question and
though all this money is right
here in hand, none of it is avail
able for the school houses. 1t
was the opinion of the city's at
torney, Mr.. ]. B. Wall, that an
other bond election will have to
be called and the bonds voted
again before the city can legally
proceed to complete the build
lngs.
Another meeting of the council
is called for tonight to issue call
for bond election.

JUDGE SAYS MOOSE
SHOULD HANG SELF

cambridge, Nov. 25.-Assert-
ing that the crime which he had
committed was thirty times worse
than negro man upon whom the
death sentence a minute before
had been passed, Judge +. E,
Cox sentenced ]. +. Moose. the
white farmer convicted of an at
tempted assault upon his 14-year-
old daughter. to twenty years in
the penitcntiary So ended the
most sensational case in the an
mails of Decatur county The ne
gro, Charlie Williams, to whom
Judge Cox referred, had been
found guilty of murder in the first
degree.
Moose is some forty years of
age. In passing sentence upon
Moose, Judge Cox stated that he
was aware that many men be-
heved Moose lacking in sense, but
that he attributed his unspcak-
able crime to the degradation of
"a lower order of morality. In
drawing the parallel between
Moose and the negro, Judge Cox
stated that the negro had killed
a man, his enemy, and that he had
sought to do away with the body,
but that Moose had murdered the
heart Of his little daughter, the
flower of his home.
Judge Cox stated that since
holding office it had been his un-
broken custom to consider recon-
mendations of mercy bv juries.
but that in this instance he would
have to make an exception and
give the prisoner at the bar the
fullest extent of the law. In clos
inp, Judge Cox recommended
self-destruction as the one honest
thing which Moose could now do.
He said that the nearest approach
to rcparation would be for him to
go hang himself at the first op-
pOrtunity.

FOOD DEALERS WOULD
INCREASE THE PRICES

Chicago, Nov. pa report,
said to contain evidence of collu-
sion between wholesale and retail
dealers to advance the prices of
food was turned over today to
United States District Attorney
Chas. F. Clyne by Hinton G.. Cla-
baugh, head of the local bureau of
the department of justice. The
evidence will be presented to the
federal grand jury, recently sworn
in to inquire into the high cost
of food.
The report is said to show the
price of food sold to consumers
has been raised in many instances
without regard to increased cost
of production. A specific case
cited is that of certain food pro-
duct, the price OF which was rails
ed one cent a pound by whole
salers. The retailers, says the re-
port, immediately raised the price
to consumers five cents a pound.
The alleged collision between
the wholesale and retail dealers is
said to have been carried on by
means of circulars. In this way
prices arc alleged to have been
standardized.
