Report Frontier Clash
of Prussians and Danes

A clash between Prussian guards
Danish frontier was reported in a
diplomatic dispatch from Stockholm
yesterday. The clash followed the
Danes refusal to permit the Prus-
slams to pass the boundary to go to
a nearby Danish inn, it was stated.
The Prussians threatened to over
power the Danes, according to the
advice. but hastily retired when
Danish reinforCements arrived.
Denmark increased its border pa
troll at the time of the armistice to
provide against possible German
lawlessness. Frontier feeling is de-
clared to be high as the result of
the Holstein -Schlesswig question.

preme Court.

Cost to Passengers.

The Public Utilities Commission
will continue its fight to stamp out
the alleged widespread practice OF
"fare-stealing" by street car conduc-
tors in Washington. which. accord
ing to the police, has constituted
about % per cent of fares paid by
the car-riding public.
This announcement was made by
Commissioner Gardiner following the
postponement of the cases of the
street car conductors who appeared
in Police Court yesterday morning to
answer charges of embezzling funds
of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company, until Wednesday. This
was done at the request of Assistant
District Attorney Ralph Given in or
der to give the prosecutor time to
fully prepare the cases before going
into court
Bring Families to Court.
The defendant conductors appeared
in court yesterday morning. accom-
panied by their wives, other relatives.
and a large delegation OF conductors
and motormen. Each of the conduc-
tors has retained counsel, and, it
is reported tho Railway Conductors
Union will back the accused men
with sufficient funds 10 see that their
side of the case is fully presented in
court.
In the meantime, the Public Utili-
ties Commission is determined to
place every conductor. whether sus-
pected OF knocking down" fares or
not, under surveillance of its spot
ters" to protect the revenues of the
companies, and the public from in
creased street car fares. which would
be necessary if the leakage" is as
serious as police reports indicate.
Announcement made yesterday tina,
the Cicycn conductors charged with
embezzIement would fight their cases
at every step and carry them to the
Supreme Court, only made the Dis
tricI officials more determined to
prosecute the cases to the limit.
Statements credited yesterday to a
traction emp!OYe that the defense
would be based on the claim that the
fares do not belong to the company

FORTY This MEN
OUT FOR BASKETBALL
Material is Rather Light
But Promises to Be
Speedy.

With fortyme out in uniform last
evening Fairmont High held its first
basketball practice this season and at
the present time the indications are
that they should have one of the fast
est teams the High has turned out
for a number of years. Although the
greater part of the squad are very
light, what they lacl in weight is Of
set by their lightning speed and abil-
,ity in tossing the pill
Coach Kahn did not put his men
through very stiff workout because
many Of them were stiff from football
and not in condition for much hard
work. Kahn intends to be very easy
on them for the rest Of the week, do
ing nothing but passing the ball and
working on the track, but will thin
down the bunch to about eighteen
men and start in earnest next week.
Five last year leIer men were out
last evening, Pierre Hill who has
done good playing both at center and
guard for two years; Capt. Dean,
Clark Brown, Troxell and Romino,
the husky little stationary guard Of
last years aggregation.
Some excellent new material looks
very fast, and the old men will have
to do some stepping to hold their
places. Robt. Morris, Reich, Small
wood and Andre showed up in good
form.
The work last evening was very
satisfactory, but consisted mostly Of
passing the ball. Then four teams
were chosen and two games were play
ed for about half an hour, which were
slow and rough, but with few more
practices things will begin to look
much better.
