TRACTION HEADS TO
MAKE REPLY SOON
Their Preference Is for Nego-
tiations With Employees,
Not Union.

While no official statement has
been made, it is understood that after
Inauguration officials of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
will informally advise representatives
of their employees that they are ready
to discuss the terms of a proposed
new working agreement.
In its reply to the employees re-
quest for a conference the company
made It Enthusiastically plain that it
had had no dealings with the Anal
gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees, Local
$50.
At the unions headquarters II was
stated that the employees response
to the company's reply contained a
request for the naming OF a day for
the beginning of the conference.
Union officials said today there
would be no breach of the present
agreement by the men. This agree
ment does not expire until March IL.
Representatives of the union were
busy today enrolling new members
of the organization. Among the mem
bers enrolled this week are said to
be a number of employees of the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company. The
union claims to have more than half
these employees in its ranks, and the
new working agreement submitted
by the organization demands an in
crease in pay of 10 cents an hour for
all OF the power company's workers.

WOMAN SHOOTS BURGLAR
Puts Bullet Into Him, az She Had
Promised.

WASHINGTON. Pa. March a.
Don't move or I,ll shoot your head
on" said Mrs. Thomas Edwards, of
Brownsville, as she leveled a revolver
at a burglar who entered her home
last night.
The burglar thought Mrs. Edwards
was bluffing and moved. The trigger
snapped, a bullet sped on its way and
hit the robber.. He Ieaped from a sec
ond-story window and by the time
Mrs. Edwards could summon assist
ance he had made his escape.
Mrs Edwards had a large sum Of
money in the house, and IL Is sup
posed the burglar knew It. When she
heard the man enter the house she
arose from her bed, got q revolver,
tiptoed to the room in which he was,
and suddenly switched on the electric
lights.

PASTOR CHARGES ASSAULT
Asserts He Was Struck by Street
Car Conductor.

Rev. DR.. Earle Wiley, pastor of the
Vermont Avenue Christian Church,
said today he was undecided as to
swearing out a warrant for the ar
rest of the conductor of the Capital
Traction Company. who, he charges,
assaulted him while he was leaving
the car at Fifteenth street and New
York avenue northwest yesterday.
DIR. Wiley said he asked the con-
ductor for a transfer. Not being
sure that the conductor heard him,
the minister said he repeated the re-
quest, whereupon the conductor Is
said to have replied: heard you the
first time, and I'll give it to you
when I get ready"
As he was leaving the car, DR..
Whitley says, he told the conductor
he was a minister and had defend
ed the street car men from his pull
pit when they were on strike last
March.
DIR. Whitley charges that the con-
ductor replied with an oath and
struck him. The conductor followed
him to the street. and struck him
again. DR.. Wiley said he dropped
his suitcase and umbrella to defend
himself, but the conductor got back
on the car.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The long
arm OF the law has reached out and
tweaked the nose of that ill-tempered
person who vents his spleen on the
telephone operator.
The upstate Public Service Commits
sion had the pleasure of administering
the tweak. A precedent is doubtless
established in the decision rendered
by this body, on the complaint Of
Morse NJ. Frankel, secretary of the

Frankel complained that the service
of his two office lines had been stop

pany offered in answer evidence to
show that for more than two years
Frankel had INDUCED in telephone
abuses: 1t was alleged also that
Frankel had called phone girls buns
and had expressed the hope that they
would break a leg" Frankers ser
vice was discontinued. after which, 1t
was asserted, he made a practice OF
calling from pay stations and annoy
ing operators.

THAW Is SHAMMING',
OBSERVERS BELIEVE
Laughs and Answers Question,
After Appearing Unable to
Understand 1t.

NEW YORK, March Persons
who were present at the examination
of Harry K. Thaw by three alienists
in Philadelphia, Tuesday, are firmly
copvinced that Thaw is shamming
mental incapacity and that there Is
no reason. physical or mental, why he
should not be returned to New York
for trial Immediately.
DR.. Menas S. Gregory will deliver
to the district attorney today the re-
port of himself and Drs. Smith Ely
Jelliffe and George II. Kirby, who eX-
Rmined Thaw. The nature OF the re-
port has not been revealed, but II, as
expected, II comedies with the belief
of Assistant District Attorney Black,
an immediate demand will be made
on the Pennsylvania governor for
Thaw's extradition.
Only One Sign of Weakness.
Thaw appeared to be fairly strong
physically. The New Yorkers found
him walking around in a gray dress
ing gown. His stride was firm. His
face was somewhat pasty, but by no
means emaciated. His only sign of
weakness came at the end of an
hours examination when, as the visi-
tors were going, he threw himself on
the bed.
A curious fact about his mental ex-
animation as described by a layman,
was that he frequently had, or pre-
tended to have, much difficulty in
answering the simplest question, yet
replied to more difficult queries
quickly.
Once DR.. Gregory asked him to
place his right hand to his ear. Thaw
did not seem to understand. DR.. Gre
CORY, looking searchingly at him,
soon began to laugh. Thaw kept up
his air of misunderstanding a few
seconds longer; then he too laughed
in q way that made'it plain he had
known all the time what was wanted
OF him.
Knew Values of Coins.
A coin was placed in his hand and
he said 1t was a nickel It was. Then
he designated another Coin correctly.
He was asked how he knew the differ
ence. He replied that he did not
know. He had no difficulty in naming
the months of the year in their order
and then backward.
Thaw spoke with little difficulty.
When asked in the middle of the ex-
animation IL he was tired, he replied
that he was not.
A curious fact, Mr.. Black said. is
that the New York prosecutor has
not been abIe to find a lawyer in
Philadelphia VINO will help New York
State to get Thaw back. Two promi-
nent lawyers who were approached,
Mr.. Black said, declined to serve.

GAIN TO BUSINESS
IFU.S. JOINS WAR
City Bank of New York Sees
"No Reason to Apprehend
Sudden Reaction"

NEW YORK, March 2.-What would
be the effect of a declaration of war?
Everybody wants to know. The qpes-
tion is answered by the National City
Bank, the largest financial institution
in the United States, in its March re-
view and forecast of economic condi-
tions, as follows:
There is no reason to anticipate
that a declaration of war by this
country would have any immediate ef-
feet upon the business situation other
than that resulting from additional
stimulus.
"The Government has already en-
tered the market for equipment and
supplies, and is committed to great
expenditures upon the army and navy,
but doubtless its orders would be in
creased and expedited.
Enormous Demands.
"The experience OF other countries,
and our own as well, shows that war
makes enormous demands upon the in
dustries, hence there would be no
reason to apprehend a sudden reac-
tion from the present activity.
"The danger would be from the
other side, that is, from an over
stimulus in certain directions at
the expense of normal development
The industries of this country are al
ready working to capacity, and 1t is
difficult to see how they could do
more.
Under such conditions Government
orders would crowd private business
to the rear. create new demands for
labor and materials, and probably
raise costs to a higher level
"Enlistments would necessarily ag-
gravate the scarcity OF labor. and the
amount of business in sight would be
likely to simulate further construction
for the enlargement OF industries.
Advantages of America.
these are the inevitable economic
arrangements caused by war. and in
some degree We have already been
experiencing their effects.
War is not recommended by any
one who understands its economic ef-
fects as a means of increasing the
wealth of a country, but, IL war must
come, It is certain that the United
States is more fortunately situated
to withstand it, and has greater re-
sources with which to prosecute II
than any Of the countries which have
sustained such marvellous exertions
for now two and one-half years"

from men OF standing and integrity
who have given Plant Juice a fair
trial and have been greatly benefited.

looking for Tony. He tried the yards,
but couldn't find Tony there, so at
length. he essayed the mysteries OF
the building.
Through the corridors he roamed,
but was unable to detect his owner
and playmate. Finally he entered a
classroom where there were many
children OF Tony's age. He began the
search, carefully shifting each child.
Finally little girl saw him and
screamed. Other children became ex-
cited, and finally there was a hula
baloo that almost frightened the dog
out of his wits.
He NIpped One.

So he nipped one child and dashed
out. .H-.
There was another big room in
which he might find Tony. Somewhat
excited over the recent experience,
the dog dashed inside, to find the up
roar repeated. This time he had to
bite two children TO get to the door.
He made the bites as soft as possible
to achieve his end.
By this time the school children
were wildly alarmed; this fact in
creased the fright Of the dog. He ran
into another room; children jumped
from their desks and ran at him,
kicking. He nipped three little girrs
to teach them they should not kick
at him when he meant no harm.
Then a woman teacher, Miss Ro-
sina Hennegan, picked him up by the
