terical condition. The gun which kol-
wound in his head Mrs. Roe was
"a used TO cimmit the murder, and the

'caliber revolver and was found lying
beside him on the floor.
The wounded men were taken to
the Park hospital where they were
given medical Attention. II was found
that nothing could be done for Roe.
An X-Ray picture was taken OF
Kolda's head and Il was found that
the bullet hRp entered the left side of

Just under the scalp. A peculiar fea-
ture OF this shot was that II passed
thru the center OF speech and para

very LITTLE chance for his recovery
Kolda was employed as butcher
at the Decker packing plant and Roe

turned on the light and fired the other
three shots Ii is believed that the first
shot failed to hit its mark and passed
thru the window. Two entered the
body OF Roe. The wife rushed out of

otherwise would have been out of

Larkin Detention
Disappoints Followers

Dublin, Sept. 10.-James Larkin
having cab1ed from the United
States to his sister that he hoped
soon to be at home in Ireland with
the old guard" there is some dis
appointment among his followers
here because both the United States
and British governments have re-
fused him, as stated, the necessary
passports.
The Irish Transport Workers
Union which he founded, mean
while. has not abated any of it's
activities in his absence, and has
carried out in various parts of
Ireland a number of barrassing
and sometimes successful strikes.
At present the harvest is in danger
and the cattle trade is obstructed
in the midland counties by Trans
port Union walkouts of the agri-
cultural laborers, and in Dublin
there is the novel feature of "a
strike of gravediggers belonging to
this union which has succeeded in
closing the great Catholic cemetery
at Glasnevin.
The report of the organization for
the past year shows an Increased
membership from 43,7SS to 5S,S27
in 210 branches. The finances show
a credit balance on the year of
nearly 100000 Nearly $4,000 was
paid out during the year in strike
benefits. Larkin's most recent pub
lie appearance in America was at
Socialist mass meeting in New
York, last June.

Jitneymen Likely
to Lose Auto Tags

Investigation of the rates /and
service of shiladelphia's baxicabs
which was set afoot to-day by the
Public Service Commission follow
ing decision of Monday night to un-
dertake searching inquiry is likely
to develop into a Statewide matter
which will take inspectors to Pitts
burgh, Scranton and other cities as
we'll as cause investigation in Harris
burg. Not only will taxicabs be re-
quired to post rates OF fare and to
maintain taximeters, but certain
standards of safety and insurance
against accident will be demanded,
while the men who operate jitneys
without obtaining State certificates
will have their automobile licenses
revoked.
Plans were made to-day for CO.
operation between the Commission
and the State Highway Department
in regard to procedure for revoca-
ton of licenses which the Highway
Commissioner is authorized to do
where it is shown that a license
holder has violated an order of the
Commission. This can be done un-
der the act of July 8, 1919, which
expressly authorizes the Highway
Chief to revoke a license when the
holder is certified by the Commits
sion for operating as common car
rier without a State certificate or
for other violations. Commissioners
Samuel M. Clement, Jr., and James
s. Benn discussed the situation in
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with
Highway Commissioner Lewis s.
Sadler. The chances are that while
the inquiry into conditions of the
taxicab business in Philadelphia is
under way the jitneymen running
without licenses will be given warm
ing and IL they fail to secure State
approval their numbers will be cer-
titled to the Highway Department
This law has already been invoked
in one case and others are pending.

The Commissioner said that IL
quarries and sand beds can be To-
Gated near the road operations con-
struct,on will be 'simplified and has

has authority to condemn land for
quarries and production of road
making material, while the War De-
partment has turned over to the
State several hundred army trucks
for use in road construction which
the department in efforts to over
