LADDERS TEARS
AND SMILES AID
LOAN BOND SALE

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-Harry Lau-
der jumped into the thick of the loan
campaign here at the MONDAY meeting
of the Liberty loan committee at the
subtreasury.
Thousands crowded into Broadway
and Wall street to hear the-Scotch
comedian give a Liberty bond-selling
talk.
The majority expected to be
amused, and he did not disappoint
them. But when, with tears in his
eyes, he spoke of his son. Capt. Jack
Lauder. OF the Argyle and Southern
Highlanders, who went "over the
top at the head of his company one
day. and never returned, the true
meaning of the present campaign to
raise money for the Government
struck deep into the hearts of his
hearers.
"All the money in the world" said
Lauder. would not bring my boy
back home, and when ! learned that
he mad been killed ! sold every secur-
ity | had and turned every dollar l
possessed over to my government.
And now you must be prepared to
give your all IL you want your boys to
come back safe"
Then, holding up a handful Of the
new war bonds, he asked:
"who wants to buy these Liberty
bonds?"
In moment, the little Scotchman,
attired in kilties, was lost to view as
hundreds OF young women, sedate
bankers and messenger boys. with
real money in their outstretched
hands, gathered around him, eager TO
buy.

lines, which, at three or four blocks
distant were to go underground to
reach the STATEN.
The Commissioners, in their report
to the Senate. stated that they did
not believe such construction would
be economically advisable. and, in
place of this. recommended extern
sions. One of these extensions was
to be a line on Seventeenth stree.
from u street to Pennsylvania ave-
nue., intended to care for congestion
on Fourteenth street, now becoming
a serious problem.
Still Favor Plan.
A number OF officials of the utiII-
ties commission still favor the build
ing OF line on Seventeenth street.
although recognizing that it would
meet formidable objection from resi-
dents of that section. One of these
officials said today that Sixteenth
street was the ideal street for such a
line. but he knew this would be prac-
tically impossible. Seventeenth street,
he said, is not as wide as 1t should
be for two car tracks.
There is a dispositions on the part
of several experts to believe that the
maximum OF congestion on some OF
the lines has been reached for the
present, although recognizing that it
is only a short time before the ac-
tivities of Washington will become
so great as to compel action for re-
lief. One of the main objects OF the
investigation to be conducted is to
obtain facts upon which to base such
action.
The street car situation in Wash.
ington is expected to take consider
able time in Congress at the coming
session. The Senate will have before
1t the report OF the special commit
tee headed by Senator Pitm9n Of
Utah, on the recent street car strike
and the conclusions drawn in that re-
port as to the methods that should be
taken here. In all probability Con-
gress will ask for recommendations
and data from the utilities commits
sion, which proposes to be well sup
piled with material, not only for
Congress, but for its own use.

GARFIELD TOFORCE
OWNERS TO WORK
MINES TOCAPAC|TY

Unless peace Is restored in the
central coal belt By Monday, Presi-
dent Wilson will be asked by Fuel
Administrator Garfield to sanction
a plan for drastic action by the Gov
eminent to force the operation Of the
mines at full capacity. This became
certain today when Garfield received
from Attorney General Gregory a
full definition Of the powers given
him by Congress. Administrator
Garfield declined to discuss his con-
ferences with the Attorney General,
but frankly declared that It was his
purpose to use to the utmost the
powers conferred by Congress to
keep the mines in operation, IL all.
other efforts being made to get the
miners back at work meet with
failure.
Reports Not Measuring.
Early reports today from John A.
White, president OF the United Mine
Workers. who went to indianapolis
to whip the miners back into line,
were not altogether reassuring. These
reports indicated that President
White would be compelled to go into
some OF the affected districts and use
the most vigorous measures In per.
sonal appeals 20 the strikers to bring
about a resumption OF activity in the
idle fields.
Coal Scarcity "PerpIexlnE.-
In the midst OF the muddled strike
situation there was every evidence OF
perplexity upon the part OF Admins
traitor Garfield and his associates con-
corning the coal famine which threat.
ems scores of the largest cities and
towns. Garfield today could only ex-
plain that the empty coal bins
of thousands OF consumers Is the re-
suit OF unbalanced conditions" and
announced that upon the basis Of Of
ficial reports laid before him he was
seeking to trace, with a view to
prosecution, those who are boarding
coal in violation OF law.
Orders for Railroads.
Orders will be issued within q few
days to provide adequate and regular
supplies of coal to the railroads, sup
plementing orders which have gone
out governing the fuel supply OF the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio
railroads. These orders are designed
to provide the roads with sufficient
fuel TO handle wartime freishts and
at the same time enable them to con-
serve their equipment.

SUBWAY TALK
REVIVED BY
STREET CAR
CONDITIONS
ny BILL PRICE.

A thoroughly searching investiga-
ton into the traction situation of
washington will be undertaken by
the utilities commission in the near
future.
This investigation will cover every
phase Of conditions being considered
by officials and the public generally,
including the congestion on the Four
teenth street and other lines; the al
legged Inadequate service of at least
one company in various portions OF
the city; extensions to meet the de-
mands of Washington's increasing
population; anything and everything
that may lead to q betterment of
service.
Revived suggestions for the con
struction OF a subway line to relieve
congestion do not md much favor
among experts connected with the
commission, but the investigation may
develop important facts and ideas OF
. helpful nature on this particular
subject.
Might Favor Subway.
The experts, according to inquiry
by The Times today, would probably
be unanimous in favorinE q subway
IN certain parts of the city IL the tre-
msndous cost OF construction prom
ised the least return. It'was pointed
out today that-the financial condition
of the two traction companies now
operating in the District would not
Justify their being required to start
underground construction. and that
the only way the city Will ever have
subways, at least for years to come,
will be through construction by the
municipality and the Federal Govern
ment, as a measure OF public neces-
sity, financial return being entirely
eliminated. After construction the
subways might be leased to existing
companies or operated by the munich
pality.
The question OF underground con-
struction for Washington obtained
official recognition more than ave
years ago, but the plans then offered
were not for the building OF a sub
way line or lines running from
thickly populated residential centers
to certain points in the city, such as
recently suggested, but for short
lengths OF subway centering at a
focal point that. would take up con
gestion in the business center OF the
city.
Matter Considered In 1919.
In March, 1912, before the creation
of a public utilities commission, the
Senate passed a resolution calling
upon the District Commissioners for
information as to the necessity of es-
tablishing additional street car lines
in the District.
Commissioners Rudolph. Johnson,
and Judson made an interesting re-
