yesterday brought suit in the District
Supreme Court against Secretary of
the Interior Franklin X. Lane and
Clay Tallman, Commissioner OF the
General Land Office. to restrain them
from granting a patent to a tract of

man district containing 16O acres. and
August g, 1904, received a final GER
tificate
On November s. 1907. she AYERS. the
defendants in their official capacities,
are alleged to have instituted pro-
ceedings against the desert land en-
try on the ground that the land was
not desert in character and had not
been reclaimed as required by law,
in consequence of which the final GER
tificate of plaintiff was Cancelled
May 2, 1910.
1t is averred also that on March 2.
1914, the Commissioner of the General
Land Office permitted Sarah A. Will
Jams, OF Montana. to make home
stead entry of the land involved, ana
issued a final certificate to her. 1t
is to prevent the Interior Department
from granting a patent on the home
stead entry that the present injunc-
ton proceedings have been brought.
Francis w. Clements. former AS
sistant United States Attorney Cen
eral for the Interior Department,
and William r. Andrews. are attor-
neys for plaintiff in the case.

Old Potato Drive in D. 6.
To Get Under Way Today

The potato drive" being conducted
by the Food Administration Of the
District. working in conjunction with
the Department Of Agriculture.
opened officially yesterday. The
actual work OF the campaign will not
begin. however. until after a meeting
which Is to be held today between
officials OF the Department OF Agri-
culture and a committee OF wholesale
men, of which John H. wilkins is
chairman, who are cooperating with
the Food Administration in the drive.
The purpose OF the movement is to
urge upon Washington housekeepers
the use OF potatoes as a substitute
for wheat. and to popularize the use
Of old potatoes, OF which about TO-
OOo, 900 bushels, now on the farms OF
the country will be wasted unless a
market is found for them.
Owing to the fact that the farm
ers are now engaged in planting and
have little time to engage in the ship
ping to market Of old potatoes, they
would be more expensive than the new
ones were it not for the fact that
the wholesale dealers of Washing
ton have promised to cooperate with
the Food Administration in the speedy
disposition Of these potatoes by re-
ducing their own profit.

PAY PREMIUM
FOR OLD HELP
Street Car Company Offers
Higher Wage to Its
Former Employees. =.

W. r. Ham, vice-President Of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, announced yesterday that
In accordance with the policy Of the
company OF insuring for Washington
the best possible street car service, an
order had been issued whereby a
greater number OF experienced street
railway men may be secured for the
operation Of the company's cars.
Mr.. Ham said that IL more of these
experienced men could be induced to
enter the employ Of the company the
public would receive safer and more
eficient service.
Experienced Men at Premium.
The order issued yesterday provides
that all trainmen now In the service
Of the company or who may be en-
ployed later, who have had experience
In the operation Of street cars pre-
vious to the time Of their last entering
the employ Of the company may re-
ceive an increased rate Of pay based
upon their longest single period Of con-
tinuous service. either with the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Company,
or with any other street railway COM
pany. The Increased rate Of pay Of
fered to experienced men IL limited to
the amount now received by men in
the employ of the company who have
had three years continuous service.
In explanation of this order Mr..
Ham stated that the present rate of
pay for inexperienced men entering
the service Of the company 10 thirty
one cents an hour. but that an appli-
cant who had had two years previous
street railway experience would be
employed at thirty-three cents an
hour. the present rate paid to men
who have been In the service of the
company for two years.
An Innovation.
Mr.. Ham declared that this is an
innovation in street railway manage
ment inasmuch as credit is given to
the employees Of the company for ex-
perience received in the employ of
street car lines other than those of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. He stated further that the
purpose Of the order was to attract
to the service Of the company by
means OF the increased pay offered
many former street car men who have
left that line OF work TO enter others
where higher salaries could be OBJ
tanned.
