Republicans had given more earnest
support TO war measures than had the
Democrats. That demonstration Of
unparalleled partisanship justified the
belief, IN the absence OF an expression
from him, that in the Massachusetts
contest he favored the election OF the
Democratic candidate, els silence left
room for no other inference, for his
latest political utterance had been one
of party appeal.
"The logical conclusions from his

First, II It be true, as he says, that law

SHOT BY POLICEMAN

Funeral services over the body Of
Leo A. Mcleod. the sixteen-year-old
lad who was shot and killed by Po-
liceman Henry Arthur Starr, of First
precinct, were held at 8 o'clock this
morning at St Martins Catholic
Church. Burial was in Mt. Olivet
Cemetery.
Policeman Starr, who was rearrested
after ne had been exonerated by a
coroner's jury. has been released on
bail for the action Of the grand jury.
United States District Attorney John
Z. Laskey intimated that STAIRS case
will reach the grand jury without
delay.
wallace A. Club. a clerk in the
registry office OF the Auditor for the
Treasury, who says he was within
twenty feet Of Policeman Starr when
he fired at Mcleod last Wednesday
morning, declares he could hear very
little noise in the machine Mcleod
was riding in, and could see no rea-
son for trying to stop the car.
The car was not travelling very
fast, and was almost abreast OF him
as he was about to step upon the
landing platform. He noticed one of
two men standing on the corner
across from him step out, holding up
his hand and calling for the car to
stop. At the same time he urew his
revolver.
As the driver did not heed the call
to stop this man ran after IL about
sixty or seventy feet, stopped, aimed
at il. and fired.

PRESIDENT DELAYS
FUNDS FOR DISTRICT
Failure to Sign Three Bills
Also Holds Up Pay of
Teachers.
IuIoo ALLIE hININEK,

Failure OF the President to sign
three bills which affect the District
the appropriation bill, Sundry civil,
and third deficiency BILLS causing
District officials alarm.
Since Monday the District Auditor,
AlOnzo Tweedale. has had ready for
distribution checks for money provid-
ed in these bills. The Treasury De-
partment will not honor any requisi-
tons and the situation is causing I'M
easinesS.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
officials at the municipal building
that the President will sign the bill.
At the White House this morning il
was stated the President has signed
no bill, which is taken to indicate
that the Chief Executive has not had
time to sign.
To teachers in the public schools
$6S, 900 Of back pay is due. This
money will be paid when the Presi-
dent signs the bill.
The District is without a penny to
run on. All necessary maintenance
supplies are being obtained on credit,
and already a debt OF over 100000
has been incurred.
1t is expected the President will
sign the bills this afternoon.

SEPARATE
D. c. UTILITY BOARD
Citizens Body Would Have
New Commission to Deal
With Street Cars.

Proposing a new utilities commits
sion to take over and operate all the
street car lines in the District, as a
final solution of the car problem,
President w. B. westIake, of the Fed
GRAFTON of Citizens Associations, yes
terdRy sent a letter to the Senators
and Congressman explaining the new
idea.
Every senator today found a
copy of the letter upon his desk, ask
ing that that body take the matter
in hand to afford quick relief for
Washington in the face of the i'm
pending dissolution Of one of the car
companies, recently voiced by its
president.
The plan provides for the creation
of a separate utilities body to take
over all District public utilities, oper-
ating them upon the basis Of service
at cost.
The letter, in full, is as follows:
THE street car situation in wash
ingtOn has long been all but intoler-
able, and there is now every indica-
ton that it will soon be much worse.
There is good reason to expect early
disintegration of/one Of the local sys-
TENS, which will result in chaos in the
operation Of existing lines and make
impossible many needed extensions in
lines and service.
"As the representative Of the organ
lied citizenship of the District, 1 de-
sire to submit to you the only idea yet
suggested that seems to offer relief,
and ask that after giving it your care
full consideration you advise me OF
your views.
att is proposed that Congress take
the matter in hand without delay and
provide a permanent solution, for the
future good of the Nations Capital, by
creating a new utilities commission,
separate and distinct from the regU-
lar Board of Commissioners, with
broad general powers to Immediately
pI oceed to take over the direction of
all street car lines and allied utilities
in the District and to operate them
upon q service-at-cost basis, subject
to the payment to the present owners
OF a proper and fixed return. to be
based upon q valuation to be deter
mined for that purpose
do you not believe that Congress
could, by some such plan, give the
District OF Columbia a model form of
utilities operation, with a satisfactory
guaranteed return to investors, which
would not only satisfy the local stu
alton but would serve as a guide to
other communities?
81 shall await your reply with the
hope that you will give the Federation
OF Citizens Associations the benefit of
your ideas upon any phase Of the sub
ject"

EVERY BIG RETAIL STORE EMPLOYS A
MERCHANDISE MAN

TITS is the job to find out what
the public wants, when they
want it and what they are
willing to pay for it.
And when mistakes are made
mistakes that overstock a depart
ment-it is up to the merchandise
man-and if he is a real live one
he will not only correct the mis-
take, but turn the present iabil-
ity into a future asset.
The wise merchandise man is
not a know-it-all by any means.
On the other hand, he is a little
Mr.. Find-Out. And he is most
vitality interested in finding out
how his fellow merchandise men
solve their problems for tomorrow
he may be faced with a similar
one-and, while bought wit" may
be best, it's less expensive to

BUDGETNONSIGNING
HOLDS UP SCHOOLS

Failure Of the President to sign the
District appropriation bill has re-
suited in the delay OF a week in the
start of the summer schools. II the
bill is signed today the summer
school classes will begin tomorrow.
Teachers have been holding them
selves in readiness to start work the
day following the date on which the
President affixes his signature to the
measure.
More than 200 students have regis
tered at Mckinley Manual Training
School. At Dunbar High School
where colored students may take the
summer course. S31 applications were
received up to nm tday.
The nine white and four coIored
schools can each accommodate about
ninety students, II was said TODAY by
w b. Patterson. director of summer
schools. Applications have been
coming in from neighboring towns
at a rate TO Indicate unprecedented
interest in the summer sessions.
Accommodations at the white schools
are gradually filling up. At the col
cred schools only a few remain.
These are at the LOvejoy school. The
other schools where colored students
will be taught for thirty school DAYS
are Magruder. Randall and Mott

WRECO WILL
NOT GET ALL
IT REQUESTS
Granting of Seyen-Cent Fare
BY Utilities Board Is Con-
Sidered Unlikely.

There seems to be little likelihood
that the Public Utilities Commission
will grant all Of the requests OF the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company in the four petitions filed
several days ago.
None OF, the members OF the COM
mission would cnmmit themselves to-
day to a statement of their views on
the petitions. It seems to be a GER
tainty that the company will, at
least, be granted an increase in the
street car fare to cents, but hardly
Z cents.
When the petitions were first pre-
scented and the contents became
known in the office OF the Public
Utilities Commission, surprise was ex-
pressed. as the petitions mean that
in some instances, street car passen-
gers will be forced to pay % cents
for one trip in the city.
VIII Meet wedHasdAJ.
The next meeting OF the Commits
sion will be held Wednesday, but in
all probability the date OF the hear
ings will be set before this time.
The hearings will no doubt be
lengthy when the public is called |
upon to present It's SIDE OF the SlIua- /
ton. The civic associations in Wash |
ington are willing to pay an increase |
in fare to 6 cents. but they strongly ]
object to paying cents and also
being charged cents extra for
transfers.
The commission expects to receive !
many protests from suburban citizens. |
The suggestion that each subsidiary /!
division of the company be operated !
alone has met with dissatisfaction |
among the suburban population of the
city. This plan makes it impossible
for a person to come into the city
without paying at least IA cents.
Clayton to Take Part.
william NICK. Clayton. Of the Fed
Grafton OF Citizens Associations, will
take an active part in the public
hearings on these four petitions. Mr..
who long has been an advo-
cate of merging the two street rail-
way companies here, today is pre-
pairing briefs to present to the COM
A straight six-cent fare, with free
transfers, is, in the opinion Of Mr..
Clayton and others, a just fare. Any
amount paid for a ride above six cents
is considered unfair.
