CONGRESS CONSIDERS JOB
 CHARLES EVANS HUGHES

Samuel Untermeyer are being mentioned as special counsel in the matter of the leak investigation. The House this afternoon unanimously authorized the employment of speci- al counsel to pursue the investiga- tion.
 There is evidently no intention of dropping the matter apparently for when the counsel appointment came up it was declared that the matter should be probed to the bottom. Now in addition to the name of Un- termeyer, the ability of Hughes for such work is commenting his name to the Committee. It is pointed out that his efficiency during the insur- ance investigations demonstrates that in this particular work he is ex-

LONDON, Jan. 17.-There is no reason to believe that there is a raider now in the North Atlantic as some American cables seem to in dicate. The Admiralty has had rea- son to suspect the existence of two raiders operating in the South AL lantic for some time but cruisers have been unable to locate the Ger man.
 It is believed from today's reports from Rio and from Pernambuco that there is only one German ship in the Atlantic waters.

Saturday morning I stood on the corner
from to 9 o'clock-one hour. Thirteen
full cars passed me and would not
stop. I succeeded in getting on the
fourteenth and was docked thirty-ive
minutes. The utilities commission, by
ordering all the ten-cent vehicles off
the highways of traffic and forbidding
them to charge over 5 cents on such
streets as they are graciously permitted
to travel. has left working people ut
terly helpless, and at the mercy of the
W. r. & E. Co., with its erratic mana
ger, its dirty and worn-out cars, and
it's shifting crews of half-paid and
unskilled boys. subjecting overloads of
passengers to tie-up at every curve.
The condition is unbearab1e and in
vites the terrorism of a mob. In the
heaviest rain of this autumn I stood on
a corner from 4:30 to 6:15, waiting for
transportation. Another rainy day I

No relief will ever como from the

this entire system. Meantime why
should not the peoples line Of ten-cent
vehicles be permitted to travel on the
streets where they are needed, and
from which the utilities commission
in the opinion of many-had no legal
right to drive them?
Congress has expressed its opinion of
the magnate of the w. r. & e. and
the populace has made 1t unanimous.
In these times, when every ounce of
