Davis Accepts Position.

Mr.. Davis who has been cut Of
the city. has written to r. S. Field.
chairman of a special committee Of
the association. that he is willing
to take up the cause of that organ
iZation and Of the public generally
on condition that he 10 not to be
paid for his services. Mr.. Field had
written Mr.. Davis asking if his le-
Eai services could be had in the
event the organization determined
to go on with q contest in the courts.
Mr.. Davis letter of acceptance will
be laid before a special meeting Of
the association. and there is little
doubt, IL is said. that the organiEa-
ton will formally retain Mr.. Davis
and begin collection OF money to
meet court expenses. which may be
considerable in view of the certain
fact that IL the association should
win. the case will be appealed to the
higher courts.
Citizens To Aid Financially.
Other citizens Associations have
promised the Kenilworth organization
to aid financially. and this promise
will be relied upon. Mr.. Davis re-
fusal to accept pay for his work
ouEhiy appreciated by the associa-
ton. Because of his standing at the
District bar, his fee for such work
would have run into thousands OF
dollars.
The Kenilworth Association has q
particularly strong grievance. The
people there built their own railway
years ago. connecting with the main
line Of the Columbia railway at Kenil-
worth Junction. They made a pres
ent of the road to the W. r. and Z.
and for q good while had through
service direct to the city, paying one
fare. During the war. because of
difficulties surrounding street rail-
way operations here, they agreed 10
the temporary installation OF q shut
tie car, to and from which they OBJ
tanned free transfers. Later on, .
through service to Fifteenth and H
streets northeast, was given them
but they were compelled to pay trans
fer charges there after the 2-cent or
der. Recently they asked the Utili-
ties Commission for through service
again, but this was declined. and
they are subjected to a shuttle cal
which they greatly dislike.

Twenty-Five thousand woman work

nounced today.
Action 20 enlist the $4,000 woman

end to the school controversy, will be

League tomorrow night.
Have Expressed Sympathy.
Heretofore the organization Of
woman workers in Washington has
only expressed its sympathy with the
teachers in their controversy with the
board. but now the league plans to
take an active part in the matter.
The Immediate cause Of action by
the woman workers, they say. was
the refusal OF the District Supreme
Court on Monday to appoint Miss
Alice Deal. president OF the High
School Teachers Union, to the Board
OF L0uCdllOu-
A resolution asking Congress TO
permit the people OF Washington TO
elect the members Of the board, in
stead OF leaving the appointive power

court will be introduced at a meet

Monday.
Similar action by the National Fed
Grafton Of Federal Employees is sched-
uled as soon as Luther c. Steward.
president, returns from the American
federation Of Labor convention at
Atlantic City.
Time For Action Here.
The time has come for action by
all public-spirited citizens Of wash
ington," said Miss Ethel NJ. Smith,
executive secretary Of the National
women's Trade Union League, today.
The opinion seems 70 be widespread
that the real cause OF the school con
troversies is contained in the method
of appointing the Board OF Education.
The school officials are now free 10
take whatever action they decide
upon, regardless Of public opinion, be-

WARNS AGAINST BOND DEALTRs.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Roper today warned the public
against dealers in Liberty bonds who
say they are Government licensed
brokers'"
The fact that a dealer has paid the
special tax of $50 imposed on brokers
does not mean the Government guar
antees his honesty or assumes any
responsibility. Roper said.

der this act and under the charters
of the street railways the commission
has no power to do otherwise than
make a fiat rate of fare in this city.
the charters requiring street railway
companies to carry passengers from
one destination to another, including
necessary transfers if in the same
railway system, for one fare. A
transfer charge, he declares, is un-
authorized and is besides a discrim-
ination against one part OF the pub
lie, while another part, by reason of
through cars, enjoys one straight
fare Of cents.
Far-ReaehInE Significance.
The proposed legal test has far
reaching significance to Washington
people. especially to those who live
in what has been called the second
cone" for fare purposes by the W
r. and Z. This company is about
to make formal application to the
the revenues from a 2-cent transfer
financial relief on the ground that
the revenues from a 2-cent tranfer
are absolutely inadequate to meet
their needs; that they cannot live
and do business on this little amount
OF extra money; that the service
TO the public will not grow better.
pIODdDly worse, without more money.
Indications are that the Commission
IL not to be in e hurry over this new
appeal. but il the company is entitled
to more revenue it will try to influ
ence the Commission TO allow this
upon a straight Scent fare all owe.
Washington or upon a second-zone
fare, which IL attempted in the lasl
hearing. President Ham still insist
that zone fares are the most equit-
able way OF awarding more money.
That would give his company large
revenues without adding to the
wealth and prestige OF the Capital
Traction-build his line up and not
help the other line TO any apprecia Bile
extent.
Legality of Zone Fares.
II 2-cent transfers are legal. then
the commission would have author
i,y to authorize zone fares if so dis
posed, although up to this time it
has been absolutely set against the
zone idea II the transfer charge is
unauthorized, q zone charge would
not be made and some other method
would have to be found to furnish re-
lief If the commission should ever
conclude that il is bound to give more
relief A legal test is. therefore. OF
much Importance to those sections
and communities which would ulti-
mately have to stand for two fares
into and out Of the center Of the city.

A BILL NOT TO BE PASSED

A Memphis representative has a bill
TO present to the legislature providing
for medical examination of applicants
for marriage licenses and a physicians
certificate that the parties are not in
fected with any infectious or conta-
gious disease, Without going into all
the pros and cons Of the matter, the
Tennessean declares its opposition to
such legislation as useless, harmful and
offensive.
In the first place. the evils which the
bill seeks to remedy would not be
reached or abolished by the operation
Of such a law. but would simply re-
appear in illegal unions and loose con-
nections. Then the detailed provisions
OF the measure are such as to repel
decency and civilized humanity. Final
", without any reflection on the med
ical profession, the fees and the issues
involved would necessarily prove a
temptation to graft and corruption
among physicians on whom these Of
fetal functions would be saddled.
The people Of Tennessee are not ready
for such radical legislation and will not
take kindly to such a German scheme
OF personal ircGisition. The lawmakers
OF the state are not going to fasten
upon their constituents such a distsste-
full and useless MISUNDERSTANDING
TenneSsean.
