HIGHER EXPRESS

OF the several methods suggested
by express companies for increasing
their revenue, the one which would
permit an increase in rates OF five
cents a hundred pounds, the entire
amount to accrue to the companies
with no percentage for the railways.
is proper and preferable" accord
ing to an opinion handed down by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
this afternoon
The possibility Of applying this
'$method, through modification of
the express companies contract with
the Railway Administration. will be
put up to Director General McAdoo
as a result of the opinion, and final
decision VIII rest wit hthe Admins
tration.
The express companies, which have
been operating at a loss. submitted
three methods OF raising an additional
$23.67s 900 in revenue The first was to
increase rates 10 cents a hundred
pounds, in addition to the 10-cent In
crease granted by the Interstate Com
merce Commission last July. This lat
ter increase has been entirely eaten up,
the company officials say, by increased
operating revenues and wage raises.
The second method was TO reduce the
compensation of the railways for haul
ing express matter, and the third, which
Is favored by the commission, was to
Increase the rates one-half Of the first
amount suggested, with no percentage
for the railways.

WOMEN PROTEST
CIVIL SERVICE BAN

The exclusion of women from COM
petition for four positions in the
Department OF Agriculture. examina-
Civil Service Commission to take
place November %, has brought
forth vigorous protest from women
in the departments and from the
Washington committee OF the Ma
tional Women's Trade Union League.
In a letter to Secretary Houston
coday. the league calls attention to
this discrimination as a violation of
President wilson's declaration of the
principle of equal rights for women.
and urges that furthermore, the
military demands OF the country
would seem to suggest that women
be appointed to civil service posi-
tions rather than men"
The positions in question are four
existing vacancies and others that
may occur in the positions of patho-
Iogist in cereal disease investiEa-
uons in the Bureau of Plant Indus
try. The salaries for the first four
positions are $500 to 5000 . year,
and the duties as described In the
official announcement are "to con-
duct and direct research on disease
OF cereals in the office of Cereal
Disease Investigations" Much fGel-
ing is said to exist among the wom-
en- in the departments that the exclu-
sion of women from the competition
is due to the fact that the salaries
for these positions are relatively
high for Government positions, and
the women declare that the appoint
ing officials nearly always reserve
the higher salaries for men.

BORAH WON OVER,
SAY SUFFRAGISTS

Equal sufragists are hopeful Of
forcing another test OF strength in
the Senate on the suffrage amendment
after the elections
They also are extremely hopeful
that their proposed amendment will
be submitted It Is reported that
Senator Borah of idaho, II reelected.
will vote for suffrage. Leaders OF the
National woman's party are counting
on his vote, although he has not
indicated publicly what course he will
take.
Expecting to gain this vote and
believing that the election results viii
drive one or more votes Id their di-
rection, the suffragists are convinced
the day is near at hand when their
amendment will go to the States for
ratification
The parliamentary situation In the
Senate is such that the suffrage ad
vocates in that body can easily force
another test Though the submission
OF the proposed amendment was de-
feated q short time ago, a motion was
carried for reconsideration. This
leaves the proposed amendment on the
calendar, where II can be taken up
by q majority vote.
As far as possible, the opposition
will use the revenue bill as q huff
fer to block consideration OF the suf-
frage measure. Inasmuch as the rev.
enue bill will not be reported until
after election, the antis will have a
good opportunity by long debate on It
to delay action. Suffragists say II
they do not get q vote in November
they will try to force one In Decem-
Der, soon after the short session opens.
The antis want, among other things,
to delay submission so long that State
Legislatures meeting the coming win
ter cannot ratify the proposed amend
ment

How do they do 1t In war times? This
Is the question both Lieutenant Fisk and
DR.. Herdliska say they can answer upon

What Lieutenant Fisk Says.
Here is what Lieutenant Fisk says
about the taxicab service and why it
Is better than any in Washington;
''Our keynote is efficiency. Our capi-

We pay no salaries. We use over $50
different cars, roadsters, and nearly
every make OF car on the market. We
are always ready. We run the only
perfect service"
DR.. Herdliska, in addition to hold
ing three or four executive positions
in the taxi service, is also statistician.
Here is what he says: The whole
secret of our service is that 1t Is
free. Our work is to carry more than
$50 nurses and physicians to more
than 1000 addresses a day. To do
this we need automobiles We asked
the public to lend US their cars and
their chauffeurs or the cars them
selves. They responded, and we sup
piled them with gas and oil and or
ganized our service. You see, we are
running this taxicab service for the
public health service Our cause is
worthy, also immediate. Persons In
Washington suffering from the in
fiuenza need nurses and physicians,
and need them quick

We carry more than 1000 passengers

service. but especially proud OF our
chauffeurs and chauffeurettes. But
still we need more cars.

been doing this for the past two

city, business manager of the union
to which Noble belonged.
They told the Baltimore police they
had come to claim Mobiles body. Then
they went to see Undertaken Turner
and made arrangements to have the
body shipped to Washington for
burial.
At the direction of the Baltimore
police, Mobiles body was disinterred
from the potter's field. Both Miss
whidmayer and O'Leary identified the
body as that of Charles Noble. They
asked Undertaken Turner to send it
to Washington for burial in the fam
lily cemetery here.
The body was placed in q metallic
casket, and o'Leary paid over Mobiles
insurance money out Of the union
fund.
When the casket was opened at
Rock Creek cemetery here October is,
Mrs. Moran declared the body was not
to the District morgue and is held
there now waiting claimant
s.NOt Mobiles Body"
"The body at the District morgus is
not Mobiles body. It is that of a man
who has been dead at least two
months" This statement was made
today by A. 3. O'Leary, who assisted
in the Identification" at potter's field
in Baltimore several weeks ago.
According to OLeary, Mobiles body
has just been located and identified by
the dead mans sister-in-law. 1t was
found in potter's field in Baltimore
yesterday, and will be brought to
washington for burial next week.
OLeary is arranging to have several
members OF the Electricians Union go
to Baltimore early next week to iden-
tify the body. II they are satisfied
the body is really that OF Noble, it will
be brought here for burial.
'T am sure" OIeary said today, that
Mrs. Moran will be satisfied that the
body We will bring to Washington next
week Is that OF her son The whole af-
fair was due to the undertaken shipping
the wrong body, and the body at the
District morgue Is not the one identi-
fied in Baltimore"
When told this morning that Mobiles
body was reported TO have been located
in Baltimore, Mrs. Moran gave little
credence 10 the report She still main
tains that the body which she ''identi-
fed" and which was later found to be
that of Henry Lutz. was her SON
