Mutual Picture at Princ.ss.

A Wall street story featuring Edna
Goodrich is the attraction at the Prin-
cess today. "Her Second Husband" is
the title Of the story, which is full OF
action and has a love theme OF un.
usual interest. The complications Of
the plot arising from the money mad
ness Of those who inhabit the street,
are many. A competent cast surround
the leading character, and the presen-
tation as whole is pleasing.

Ambassador Francis
Starts for China
by Way of Siberia

Having apparently abandoned all
hope Of accomplishing the political re-
habilitation Of Russia by diplomatic
methods. Mr.. Francis. the United States
ambassador to Russia, and his staff
have Joined the Japanese and Chinese
diplomats at Petrograd in their jour-
ney to China by way of the Siberian
railroad Mr.. Francis dispatch to the
State Department announcing his
plans was dated Monday and said that
the German military forces were then
within eight hours march of the Rus
sian capital and that he and the en-
bassy stan were then preparing to
leave the city. He did not give his des-
tination nor route of travel, but it is
assumed at the State Department that
he would not attempt to follow the Le-
nine-Trotzky authorities in case they
leave Petrograd and establish head
quarters elsewhere in Russia
Fear was expressed today that with
the occupation of Petrograd by the
Germans and the removal to Moscow
or any other point of the bolsheyik
headquarters anarchy would become
even more evident throughout the
country.
Realizing the possibility of such a
condition some concern is felt for the
safety of the ambassador and the
Americans who will accompany him
on the long trip across Siberia.

TO PUT BASIS Of RENTS
AS OF APRIL 6 LAST
To Amend Poindexter Anti-Profiteer.
ing Bill-May Apply to Entire
Country.

The Poindexter anti-profiteering rent
bill probably will be amended SO as
to fix the basis of rents as that of
April last, the day the United States
declared war on Germany. The bill
as drawn at present would make it
illegal to charge in excess Of the rent
charged on December l, 1917. 1t was
pointed out today. however, that
profiteering in rents had begun con-
siderably before December /.
Senator Poindexter Is anxious that
the bill shall apply not only to the
District Of Columbia, but to the entire
country. He admitted today that there
was opposition to having the bill ap-
ply to the entire country. He said
that probably it would be modified so
as to apply to areas around shipyards
and military camps and cantonments.
He expressed the opinion that the
bill would be completed by the sub
committee and reported to the full
judiciary committee at its meeting on
Monday.

TRACTION MEN WILL
GET PAY RAISE OFFER
Capital Company Officials and
Union Committee Meet in
Conference.
MEN ASK 40 CENTS AN HOUR

Capital Traction Company employees
will be offered an increase in wages.
This was assured when officials Of the
company and a committee of the car
mems union went into conference at
1880 this morning to discuss the petit
ton submitted by the union for fiat
wage rate of 40 cents an hour.
1t IS known that the company has de-
cided to offer an advance over the pres
ent wage scale. which ranges from 81 to
SO cents an hour. No intimation was
given as to the schedule it would pro-
pose.
The company has taken into consid-
Grafton the fact that the cost of living
is higher than when it voluntarily
raised the pay of its employees last Oc-
tober, and it has considered the pc
tition. it is understood. with the desire
and determination to take as liberal ac-
ton upon 1t as possible.
Operating Costs Higher.
Also the members of the union, it was
indicated today, realize that the COM
panv is now meeting higher operating
ditionS and that there is this side of
the question to be considered. In short,
there was evidence of an appreciation
by both parties to the conference of the
equities involved and purpose to ad
just them harmoniously.
The conference was held in the board
room of the company's administration
building, 36th and NJ streets northwest,
and was attended by President George
Z. Hamilton and Vice President John
H Hanna, for the company, and the
following representing the carmen's
union: Maurice W. Poole, president of
the union: J. H. Goodman. W. b. Pollett,
H A Hunley, E. H. Armstrong, ]. r.
Lumsden and W. A. Hoover.
Several Sessions Likely.
eral sessions would be required. In
the event of failure to reach an agree
ment the District Commissioners, under
the terms of an agreement now stand
ing between the company and the men,
must act as arbitrators. and their de-
cision will be final. The belief was
general that an appeal to the Commits
sioners would not be necessary.
In any event there will be no strike,
as this is precluded by the contract
under the provisions of which the ap-
plication for an increase in wages was
submitted, and the conference is being
held.
This contract stipulated a wage
scale ranging from rs to 80 cents an
hour. In October last the company, of
its own initiative, boosted the wage 2
cents all along the line The men now
five-cent increase for barnmen ana
switchmen. The present pay of switch
men is 2215 cents an hour and of barn
men 20 cents an hour.
