TO RESUME
cOL[ECIlON0F PAPERS
Work Beginning Tomorrow Gives
Promise Of Big Results in Play
grounds Funds.

Paper collections for the benefit OF
the school Fairgrounds and other So
cial activities. are to be resumed in
the public schools Of the District OF
Columbia tomorrow. With the work
now started officials look forward to
a week each day of which will bring
forth greater results.
Although definite action has not yet
been taken it has been practically de-
cided as to the disposition Of the funds
thus raised. In all probability, ac-
cording to statements made by school
officials last night, one-fourth of the
money raised by each school will go
to the general playground fund. three
fourths of it being placed to the credit
Of the individual school raising the
money.
Distribution of Benefits.
In this manner, it is suggested, the
work done by each school will be of
mutual benefit to all the schools and
at the same time those schools work.
ing hardest will receive the greatest
benefits. Every school in the District.
the situation, has needs of it's own
which may be met by the funds raised.
Some schools need playground appa-
ratus including volley balls and basket
balls; others want monographs, and
some have special objects in view.
There is not a single school which can
not we'll use funds which may be raised
through the collection and sale OF old
papers and magazines.
Spirit Of Friendly Rivalry.
Children at the schools have entered
into the proposition with excellent
spirit. Friendly rivalry has been de-
veloped. in which not only the children.
but their teachers. parents and friends
are participants.

Mollusk were collected in the Philippines
by the party sent from this country by

Balance Of $4,000 Budget for

in Larger Amounts.
GIFTS OF $50 AND $500

With total of s1,O3111 raised as the
result of the weeks collection, workers
for the 1917 budget of Friendship
House, s24 Virginia avenue southeast,
closed their campaign late yesterday
afternoon The collection taken in at
the downtown stands yesterday
amounted to $9436
The necessary budget for the support
of the settlement house during the COM
ing year is $4,000. of which more than
$1,000 has now been raised. 1t was
stated last night that the bulk of the
weeks contributions had been in small
sums =
1t is planned to raise the remaining
$4,000 by asking twenty Washington-
ians to contribute 800 each and TWEEN
ty to contribute $50 each.
Type Of Work Done.
type of work done by Friendship
House is shown in the following, as re-
lated by a woman at one of the COL
lection booths yesterday:
"One day member of the Mothers
Club at Friendship House came to Miss
Burklin, the headworker, and asked if
she could help an old couple who lived
in her shed. The old man had worked
for one of the large railroad companies
for many years. but one morning on
his way to work he met with an ac-
cident. which resulted in the loss of a
limb He was ill for several months in
the hospital, and when he reported for
work again he found he had been
dropped from the rolls because, through
ignorance of the rules of the company,
he had failed to report his illness in
the proper way. Several years had
passed. but crippled as he was he had
never been able to find any steady en-
ployment elsewhere
The head worker went to see them
and found them in q pitiable condition.
Friends who had been helping them al.
much as possible could not continue
any longer, and the shed in which they
had been living was no longer even
habitable. When the agent was spoken
to about repairing the roof. he refused,
saying that the shed was built for wood
and coal, not for human beings. The
old people We're very devoted to each
other. and their great fear was that
they would be separated and placed in
institutions of Some sort.

CAR FAMINE THREATENS.
NO REMEDY AVAILABLE
Interstate Commerce Commission
Says Commercial Demands of
War Produced Conditions.

Although railroad car famine
threatens the country, the interstate
commerce commission is powerless to
aid the situation in any way. Reports
from several big shipping centers yes
terday told a story of enormous needs
of shippers and almost unprecedented
lack of facilities.
Upon inquiry at the offices of the in
terstate commerce commission here it
was learned that all the government
agencies can do is to watch the situa-
ton with a view to enforcing the safety
appliance requirements. This, it was
said, is necessary in order to obviate
the risks that may be run in all cases
where demand for cars may induce
carelessness.
Prevails in Every Section.
The official reports show that the car
famine prevails in every section of the
country, and the commissions view is
that it is caused in large part by the
extraordinary traffic conditions brought
about by the commercial demands of the
European war.
Reports indicate that some of the
railroads are slow to meet the situa-
ton, and the effort is to speed up trac-
ing of cars, to minimize the holding of
cars on side tracks to accommodate
shippers.
Some railroad officials in the south
contended that the shortage complain
ed of in some cases was due to cars
being held up on lines in the north,
but investigation showed that hun
dreds of cars were being used as ware
houses at ports of export in the south.
Report of Inspectors.
The interstate commerce commission
made public yesterday report of its
inspectors on the car famine in Ne
braska. saying that the railroads are
furnishing all the cars they can sup
ply to meet an unprecedented demand,
but that it is impossible for them to
furnish satisfactory transportation I'M
der the circumstances.
The report says that the only way
to prevent repetition of the shortage
is to preyide considera BILE amount OF
new locomotive and car equipment and
to increase in size and capacity rail-
road and elevated terminal facilities

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, y. j., October I'll
Gen. Carranza's decree of October
suspending constitutional guarantees
throughout Mexico, as translated and
laid before the American representa-
tives on the Mexican joint commission
today. provides that for nearly all Of
lenses not covered by the civil code
summary punishment may be inflicted
by the military authorities. Interior
ence with railway traffic. robbery. in
cendiarism and assault in it's various
forms are characterized as crimes
punishable by death without the for
mality of trial when the evidence Is
apparent. In no case has the accused
the right of appeal.
Preamble of Decree.
The preamble of the decree. which
sets forth the reasons for the suspen-
sion of guarantees. and which was OF
especial interest to the American COM
missioners. follows:

mite moving trains for the purpose of
robbing the cars; or burning bridges,
stations, warehouses and so forth, or to
tear up the tracks. or destroy the tele-
graph and telephone lines of federal
companies and corporations:

Railroad Traffic Hindered.

Whereas railroad traffic is hindered
In this way on many occasions. or is
rendered uncertain since, although the
government takes the greatest care to
protect the running of trains and to
give all possible protection to travel
ers. 1t is impossible to avoid these
criminalities because of the large num-
Der OF ailway lines and the facility with
which the malefactors elude the re-
pressive action of the authorities. as
much because of the great extent of the
national territory as because of its
broken character and because of the
protection, which these bands frequent
1y find among the rural population.
which is due particularly to the fear
inspired by them;
Whereas brigandage in all it's mani
festations has brought insecurity in the
country districts. forcing the inhabit-
ants of haciendas, ranches, ham1ets and
other small communities to leave them
and seek personal safety in the larger
centerS of population. which is notably
injurious to agriculture. commerce and
other sources of national wealth. and

have been discussing have appeared re-

in private residences; all of which has
greatly alarmed the people. SO that it
is an urgent necessity that such Sc
rious state of affairs be put an end to
by an extreme measure which may be

in fact. had excellent results-in analo-
gous circumstances in other periods of
