WILLPROBE COST
OF CITY CARRIAGE
Secretary RedfieId Believes 1t
Big Factor in High Cost
of Living.

A new and more comprehensive in
vestgation into the costs Of city cart
age by the Census Bureau. has been
authorized by Secretary Redfield.
This inquiry was ordered by the Sec
rotary after study Of a preliminary
survey In Washington, which confirm
ed to a large extent his belief that a
vast portion Of the high cost Of living
was due to carriage, or the cost OF
city deliveries.
The Secretary believes that the at
tention Of the people should be called
to the sums that every community is
called upon to pay in maintaining the
wasteful and highly complex systems
Of Individual delivery which, char
acterize retail distribution at the pres
ent time.
In this connection the Secretary says:
when it is considered that in the
city of Washington alone there are
no fewer than 5000 retailers OF all
classes who make deliveries of their
various goods, and that the delivery
service Of these dealers ranges from
the well-organized and highly efficient
system OF Ine large department STORE,
at a relatively low cost, to the COM
paratively xpensive-because small
and poorly equipped-service OF the
corner grocer, which he is compelled by
competition to maintain. IT is apparent
that this one form OF the cost Of city
carriage represents an annual expendi-
ture Of millions Of dollars, much of
which could be saved by better Or
ganization.
AT any rate, the results of the pre-
liminiary survey are considered by
Secretary Redfields 10. be sufficiently
striking to justify him in directing the
Census Bureau to make a further and
more exhaustive study Of the subject.
This study will cover not only the
cost of the final delivery from the re-
taller to the consumer. but also the
cost OF transferring goods from the
railroad station to the store or de-
livery station, (such as a milk depot,
and carriage costs as they appear in
other connections.

TO WAGE FIGHT FOR
SUFFRAGE MEASURE
Bill for Presidential Franchise
to Be Offered in Every
State Legislature.

A bill for presidential suffrage will
be introduced in practically every
State legislature in session this win
ter. The Illinois act, which grants
the franchise to women in Presiden-
tial and municipal elections, will be
used as the model measure. In some
States local conditions or the peculiar
tiles of the State constitution may re-
quire that the model act be slightly
amended. In those commemorative
where referendums on suffrage are
imminent, the Presidential suffrage
bill will give way to the more immedi-
ate issues.
Aside from the influence exerted by
women in the Western States in the
November election, the exercise of
suffrage by women in Illinois was one
of the most conspicuous features CT
the last election.
Daughters of Prominent Men.
.T hope the introduction of Presi-
Dental suffrage bills in the several
State legislatures will remove this
ridiculous inequality among the wo-
men of this country" said Mrs.. Carrie
Chapman Gait, president Of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage As
ISOLATION, today.
Reports received at the National As
ISOLATION headquarters here show that
many of the women most active in
promoting suffrage this winter are
the daughters of men who played con-
spicuous parts in national politics dur
ing the last generation.
Daughter Of "Tom' Reed Active.
Mrs. Kitty Reed Ballantyne, daugh-
ter Of Speaker tom" Reed. will have
an important part in the Maine suf-
frage campaign. In New Hampshire,
Mrs. winston Churchill, wife of the
novelist. will be active. Mrs. Harriet
Taylor Upton, whose father succeeded
James Garfield in the House, will have
charge of the Presidential suffrage
bill In Ohio. An active figure in the
Massachusetts, campaign will be Mrs.
Shaw, daughter of the scientist Agas-
siz.
A vigorous campaign is under way
in Oklahoma, where equal suffrage
has the support of both Senators
Owen and Gore. Live interest in the
measure is reported also from both
Wisconsin and Minnesota. In Iowa
the Presidential suffrage bill may
give way to an effort to obtain a new
election, suit having been brought to
prevent the legislature from accept
ing the returns OF the June. 1918, suf-
frage election because Of the allega-
tions of fraud.

PENSION RIDER PROBABLE
Move to. Advance Lodge Plan ID
Expected.

1t is expected an attempt will be
made to add the Lodge bill. estab-
fishing a, civil service retired list Cor
those who have been in the Govern
ment service fifty years or more, to
the legislative, executive, and judicial
bill.
The bill does not reach to the
merits sf the general retirement
question as affecting clerks and en-
ployes. The number it would affect
is comparatively small. A number of
me who fought in the civil war and
then were transferred to the civil
service would be benefited, and a
small list of others.

NO H. C. OIL. AT CENTRAL
More Ice Cream for Money, Bread
and Butter With Soup.

The increased cost of living does
not seem to have affected the stu
dents OF Central High School.
On the contrary, the prices of some
of the foods are to be slightly de
creased, or, rather, the portions en-
larged. Instead of receiving a small
scoop OF ice cream-which Is the
staple article of diet at the school
a larger one will be served. Finding
that a reasonable profit was being
made on il, it was decided to increase
the amount given rather than to re-
duce the price. This meets with the
hearty appreciation of the students
Already another concession has
been made the students. Formerly
a bowl OF soup was a bowl of soup.
Now it is a bowl of soup plus bread
and butter.

AssAILANT FINALLY SHOT
Prisoner in Desperate Condition
After Bullet Is Removed
From Him.

N--Capt. James E. Mulhall, one of the
oldest men in the police department,
last night risked his life to save one
of his own men, in a desperate strug-
gle in the home of Allen S. Germs, 315
Fourth street southeast. Germs was
shot before he was subdued.
MuIhall and Policeman Edward B.
Gently was operated upon and is now
recuperating, entered the house to
arrest Germs.
Germs attacked Wall, who was in
no condition to defend himself. Null
hall jumped at Germs, and chung to
his throat until he was beaten almost
unconscious by the man, who weighs
more than 100 pounds.
ChOked by Man.
After the veteran captain had been
knocked to the floor, Wall grappled
with Germs, but was no match for
the man and was being choked when,
he says, he shot Germs in self defense.
At Casualty Hospital today 1t was
said the wounded man had regained
consciousness following removal OF
the bullet last night, and has chance
TO recover, although his condition is
critical.
Wife Frustrated.
Mrs Bessie Germs, his wife, who
appealed to the police to protect her
from her husband, who, she told the
police, had beaten her, is Frustrated

Captain Mulhall, although still at
his desk at the station house, has
cuts and bruises about the face. Wall
also shows signs of the fierce fight.
Feared For Relatives.
II was shortly after o'clock yes
terday evening when Mrs. Germs
stumbled into the Fifth precinct sta
ton house exhausted and told the
desk sergeant that her husband was
In q furious state at their home,
and that she feared for the safety
OF her twelve-year-old son and her
sister, at the house.
Captain Mulhall and Policeman
Wall were the only men in the sta
tion house. at the time. The veteran
captain knew that Wall had recent
~ undergone an operation and had
not fully regained his strength, so
he decided to accompany him to the
house.
Attacked At Once.
According to Captain MulhaI. Germs
set upon himself and Wall as soon as
they reached the house. Mulhan went
down under a blow and then, accord
ing to tie police, the Infatuated man
turned on Wall
Noble H. Rogers, a boarder at the
house also was knocked down in the
melee and furniture was broken. Cap
tain MulhalI quickly rallied from the
first blow, but was struck again, ac-
cording to the story told at the station
house.
Had Grip On Throat.
Then Wall and Germs cIinched and
struggled out into a dark hallway,
where, Wall declares, Germs got a
grip on his throat and he felt his wind
being cut of. He reached into his
pocket for his revolver, put it against
Germs side and pulled the trigger.
Germs was rushed to the hospital
and shortly after arriving an oper-
alton was performed to remove the
bullet. which entered his side.
Captain Mulhall and Policeman Wall
returned to the station house, where
their injuries were treated by-Dr.
