plague of frogs was reported a few
days ago in the neighborhood of
Hutchinson's mill north of this city.
P. W. Griffin was going from the
Hutchinson mill to his home near Ce-
Gil when he discovered an army of
frogs which seemed to be about one
third grown. The army appeared to
be about one hundred yards long and
averaged twenty feet wide and they
were so close together they were
touching each other.

MISS PEARCE EXPLAINS
HER FAUST" PROTEST
Apologies in Letter to W. c. c. 5.
for Her Criticism of Proposed
Production of Opera.

Miss Julia r. Pearce of 2114 kearny
street northeast. who protested last
week against the presentation of
Faust" here, yesterday apologized
for her stand in the matter.
Ir a letter to the War Camp Com
munity Service, Miss Pearce said:
Il wish to thank you for the state
ment in Friday nights Star explain
ing the situation as to the production
of Faust 1t will no doubt set Alright
what l am inclined to believe was
rather general misunderstanding. l
am informed by Mr.. Albion that the
opera music is French based on the
German tragedy Faust by Goethe. l
acknowledge my mistake in this re-
gard.
Il wish to state also that the per-
sonnel of the opera company was alb
Solutely unknown to me personally.
1 regret any seeming injustice TO
them, and am only too glad to learn
that the rumorS in regard to their
being German were false. l wish es-
pecially to offer my apologies to Mr..
Arnold Volpe for accepting the state
ment that he was German Gan awful
accusation). Will he please excuse
the error? l am glad to learn he is a
Russian.
''As to the card which was sent to
Mr.. Albion with a query as to the
truth of the statements thereon, and
which you quote, l wish to explain
that 1 have since found that this was
left on my desk confidentially and was
not intended for circulation. 1 sent
it to Mr.. Albion on the spur of the
moment, asking an explanation, un-
der a misunderstanding of it's source
and purpose. The truth Of it's state
ments seems to have been well ex-
ploded. l was assured that the card
was the only one written. and that
it had no other circulation except my
sending it on to Mr.. Albion. 1 feel
assured you need have no apprehen-
sion of this having been widely dis
tributed except through your publica-
tion in The Star.
Il assure you that shall take pleas
use in correcting, in so far as my
information goes, any false impress
sions which may come to my notice
concerning the production of this op-
era, whether they have been caused
through my own Misunderstanding or
that of others.
'It is possible that this forced pub
licity for the Washington Opera Com
pany may be a blessing in disguise,
in that explanations have come to the
fore to clear up any possible misun-
derstandings. If l have been the cause
of this upheaval for the good of the
opera company, l trust they will par
don such errors as may have brought
it about"

that convenient stands should be es-
tablished, equal in Importance to those
occupied by the corporation-owned
public vehicles. There are, the letter
says, 2,150 public vehicle chauffeurs
engaged in the business with the
licensed consent of the District of

nue., public vehicle license and an
Identification card fee as a direct
District license as well as a personal
and income tax.
The letter states further:
Having failed to remedy matters,
the representatives of Public Vehicle
Chauffeurs' Unions 625 and 654 called
upon Congressman Zihlman of Mary
land to introduce a resolution. which
he did on October IA, 1919. and which
is known as House resolution 1884,
which provides for an investigation
of the arbitrary hacking laws now in
existence and for an investigation of
private corporations which are grant
ed privileges to the detriment of the
individual public vehicle drivers.
This resolution has been referred
to the rules committee of the House
and it is to be hoped that favorable
report will soon be made upon the
same"

'CHAUFFEURS PROTEST
COMMISSIONERS RULE
Public Vehicle Drivers Send Let
ters to Capitol Asking
Equal Rights"

Letters were mailed yesterday to
members of Congress by the Public
Vehicle Chauffeurs' Union protesting
against recent rulings of the District
Commissioners granting certain priv
ileges to taxicab companies at Union
station and in the vicinity of hotels.
The letter sent to congressman re-
cites ''the fact that the public We
hicles are not permitted to stand in
front of any of the large hotels in
the District of Columbia. nor are they
granted the same privileges as is
the Terminal Taxicab Company at ho-
tells, Union station and steamboat
wharves and the Federal taxicabs
at hotels. The contention of the Pub
lie Vehicle Chauffeurs is that as all
streets and roadways in the District
of Columbia are public thoroughfares
under their licenses they ought
to be allowed the same privileges
as are granted the corporation owned
public vehicles
