SIx-CENT Fare
FAVORED FOR DC.
Relief Suggested for Finan-
cial Crisis of
W.R. &E.

William Nick. Clayton, representing
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tons. yesterday advocated granting
the two street railway companies a
stx-cent fare at the closing session
OF the Public Utilities hearing on the
advisability of granting the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Company
financial relief
In the event that the six-cent fare
10 granted the two companies. the
additional revenue represented by the
extra cent, as suggested by Mr.. Clay
ton. shall be controlled by the COM
mission and a portion of IL used for
the payment of the common stock
dividends of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company.
A proposal was offered by j. j.
Darlington to have the Capital
Traction Company pay the W. r. e.
Company for all transfers issued
over the lines of the latter to an
extent that will absorb the revenues
derived from the additional 1-cent
fare.
References were again made at
the final session to restoring the
electric light rate from 8 to 10 cents
q kilowatt hour. as the measure to
AFFORD financial relief to the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany.
In a final statement to the COM
mission. President William F. Ham
urged that relief be granted to such
an extent as to enable the corpora
tion to overcome its present diffi-
culttes and meet future needs.

CONSTANT ITCHING ALMOST
UNBEATABLE

Only those afflicted with Ecze-
ma. with its terrifying irritation and
ceaseless itching know what con-
slant torture this disease can cause.
The disease appears In different
ways. sometimes with a reddenins
and irritation of the skin. some
times In the form of blisters. Other
cases of Eczema take the form Of
a dry, scaly condition of the skin
that cracks and peels. But no mat
ter in what form the disease ap-
pears. it is a source of constant
fiery irritation that it well-nigh un-
bearable.
Eczema is very often considered
a skin disease. This is a natural
mistake. as it attacks the skin and
il Is through the skin that it causes
50 much discomfort and suffering.
But the real seat of the disease
is the blood. The germs of Eczema
are In the blood. and the irritated
and diseased condition of the skin
is the result of the germs trying
to break out of the system. Be-
yond the use of antiseptics to pro-
mote cleanliness. there is no local
treatment that will accomplish a
permanent cure of this disease.
And those who have been relying
altogether upon salves. soaps. oint-
ments and other local applications
to the skin will find that no per-
manent good will come from such
treatment by itseli;.
Read how Basil M. Lanneau.
who resides on Confederate Ave
.r"e. in Atlanta. Ca. found relief
from this terrifying disease. after
all local treatment had failed. He

the Toledo Boxing Commission to-day.
A permit was issued to G.. I. Thatcher

Athletic Club.
The permit, calling for a twelve round
contest to a decision, bears the sigma
ture of Mayor Schneider, Chief Wall, d.
rector Of Public Safety and head Of the
Boxing Commission. and the remaining
five members. This action removes all
speculation as to what the commission
would do in regard TO sanctioning the
contest.
The actual construction of the arena.
which, according to present plans, will
have a seating capacity OF $4,000 per-
sons, was started to-day. Tex Richard,
promoter Of the contest, drove the first

certified check for $4,000, which will 60
for s26 and $40 seats for club members,
Sportsmen of Columbus, Ohio, also
placed an order for 400 seats They
plan to make the trip in special trains.
Because he feared tickets might fall
into the possession of scalpers Richard
to-day refused a check for $40, 700 worth
of seats. He declined to reveal the name
OF the prospective purchaser.
Formal protest against the heavy
weight battle was fled tonight with
Mayor Schneider by the Toledo Minis
terial Union. an organization of $50
churches Copies of the protest were
mailed to Gov. Cox at Columbus and
John F. Matthias, Sheriff of Lucas
county. These officials were asked to
prevent the contest.
The protest said that the contest
would result in an invasion OF gam
blers, thieves and thugs" to Toledo that
1t would teach youths to "see red" and
that the record and public statements OF
the fighters Justify the expectation that
we are to have gladiatorial contest
worthy OF the Roman arena of infamous
memory"
