CHILD BITTEN BY DOG

Cora Garland, twelve years old, is
at her home. 1909 Twenty-third
street southeast, suffering from sew
eral decorations on the arm received
when she was bitten by an unmuz-
zled dog.
The child was playing in an alley
in the rear of her home when the
dog suddenly jumped at her and bit
her on the arm. Her screams at
tracted several neighbors who chased
the dog off. The child was taken
to her home, and her wounds were
cauterized by DR.. J. Watson.

built to render an inferior service.
Practically the only changes neces-
sary to put a joint rerouting scheme
into effect would be the construction
of certain curves and connections.
Could Divert Traffic.
Much of the travel that is now be-
ing routed through the downtown
ccngested district could be diverted
through new or different channels
that would avoid the slow movements
through the crowded district, which
ould result in faster and more com
Portable transportation to patrons
and-,at the same time relieve much
OF the present congestion.
"a rerouting plan could be made to
eliminate the bothersome stub ends
in the downtown section and would
also reduce the number OF cars using
most of the congested intersections.
As a result, not only street car con-
gestion but also vehicular congestion
would be remarkably reduced. A
further reflection OF good results
would be noticed in increased speed
and faster service.
1--WE would have long straight
arteries arranged to give the heavy
Sc rVice through the center of the city,
while the crooked lines through the
less important sections would just
handle the lighter traffic. BY elimi-
mating competition between lines now
closely paralIeling, one such line
could be operated as an express line
to give rapid transit service to the
outlying sections, while the other line
would give a frequent heavy service
tc the inner sections.
other Advantages
"ReroutinE. however. is not the only
advantage of a consolidation, and per-
kaps not the most important. Rolling
stock could be much more efficiently
used. The existing rolling stock could
be redistributed and used on the lines
for which 1t is best suited, regard
less Of ownership. The consolidation
would also permit the adoption of
standards for cars, track, methods
and practices generally. Similarly car
houses. shops. and all otherN equip
ment could be better utilized.
"In the power stations. cOnsolida-
tion will introduce still further ef-
fciencies and economies, and will re
tied up on the street due to the fail
ure of a power station.
with one organization, one set of
officials could administer the affairs
of the system to better advantage
than two. thus effecting another large
saving.
Operating expenses in general
would be reduced. and the earning
of the entire plant and
increased by utilizing it
to the best advantage where most
needed by the public. This would as
sist the railways to meet the rising
costs of operation that now confront
them on all sides.
Popular Effect.
"The most popular effect of joint
operation will, OF course. be the estaD-
lishment of a transfer system that
will enable a patron in any section of
the city to reach any other section of
the city for one fare, regardless of
the former ownership of track.
Monopoly under reasonable and
proper control is really preferable to
competitive management In city
transportation, the latter is not only
uneconomical in operation, but incOn-
venient to the public"

yet lacking full maturity and will
probably not be divulged until the
trial of the case.
The GIngham String.
The evidence relative to the ging-
ham string, which Attorney oliver,
counsel for Hall, says is nothing more
than planted" evidence by some one
working to send Hall to the electric
chair seems not to bother those in
terested in his eXoneration. The
string in question. which has been
mentioned as vital evidence on sew
eral occasions, Is said to have been
found under the mattress of Halls
bed and to have been a part of the
same material which was tied around
the neck of Eva Roy in Z e success
flii effort to strangIe her to death
more than three weeks ago.
The most discriminating evidence
AGAINST the man now held in the Jail,
and claimed to be in possession of de-
tectives working in the interest of the
Commonwealth, is the testimony OF
three women in the county against
the character of Lou Hall.
No names are being released in
connection with this phase OF the
case. On the other hand, Attorney
Oliver states that he is in possession
OF enough sensational evidence to in
criminate those seeking to plant
evitience against his client Lou Hall.

OF detectives working in the inter-
est of the Commonwealth, claims to
have built up an Iron fast" case of

to get the confession and his silence

The so-called ghost story they give

Still another fact which the Com
