SPEEDY WAR RISK PROBE
RY CONGRESS is PREDICTED

Washington, May 19.-There seems
to be little doubt here that the IN
expected resignation Saturday Of Col
onel Henry D. Lindsey, director of
the War Risk insurance bureau, will
hasten a congressional investigation
of that division of the treasury de-
partment.
In this connection it was asserted
Sunday the primary reason for the
retirement of William G. McAdco as
secretary of the treasury the first of
the year was due largely to the utter
failure of the war risk bureau to make
| good. 1t was said that instead OF a
vehicle to gain him wide popularity
with soldiers and their families, he re-
allied the bureau had become 4 SER
ious political liability in case Mr.. Nc
Adoo should decide to be a candidate
for president.
Put forward in the beginning as the
most scientific and generous provl-
sion for personal war risks ever con-
ceived, universally acclaimed as such
and hailed as a measure that would
win undying gratitude from the sol
diers, it has in fact become an instru-
mentality Of arousing SO much irrlta-
ton and causing so much complaint
that it has probably contributed more
to the unpopularity Of the administra-
ton than any other single war meas.

have been caused by allotment fail

delays and the p%altriness of compen'

as the unnumerable tangles in rela'

Into Victims Eye

New York, Aug. 12.--With his eyes
red from weeping and not quite under
standing what all the excitement and
fuss was about, -year-old Irving
Dezendorf of 176 Marion street, Brook =
lyn. was arraigned yesterday in the
children's court before Justice Charles
Dodd. The youthful prisoner was so
small that the justice was compelled
to lean forward to see him as he
stood digging the back of a chubby
hand into his eyes while Detective
Peter Thornton charged him with caus-
ing the death of Joseph Murphy, an
eighty year-old playmate, who lived at
III Marion street.
While IrvinP's father and mother
stood beside him trying to assure him
that nothing dreadful was going to hap
pen to him Detective Thornton explained
to the justice that on Thursday after
noon Irving and his pal, Josie" decided
to play a game of Cowboy and Indian" :"
Josie had a cap pistol. Waving it about
and utterng yels in imitation of a cow
boy he leaped a few feet from Irving
He then pretended to take careful aim
and pulled the trigger of the weapon 4"
Irving had bow and arrow fash
ioned from he long and short ribs of
pulled the trigger Irving pulled back
the string of the bow and arrow and
let the shaft of steel fly With n scream
of agony Josie fell to the ground. The
sharpened umbrella rib had penetrated
his left eye. The wounded boy was
treated by a neiEhborhood physician but
on Sunday evening his condition be-
came so serious that he was removed
to the Brooklyn Eye and Ear Infirmary.
He died there yesterday morning.

Washington. Aug. 13-Important new
developments in the governments fght
to reduce the high cost ef living came
to-day.
One of the most interesting was the
announcement by Attorney-General Pal
mer that the first federal conviction for
profiteering had been obtained. District
Attorney Luccy telegraphed from Bing-
hamton, n. Y. that retail grocer had
been fined $500 for selling sugar at 10 cents
a pound. No details We're given and the law
under which the case was brought was
not known here.
"a few good cases of prof1teering in
each State will settle that trouble" Mr..
Palmer remarked.
In order to bring to book persons guilty
of raising prices oxorbitantly or hoard
ing food to advance prices, Mr. Palmer
submitted to the agriculture committees
of Congress the draft of an amendment
to the food control act extending its
provisions to clothing and containers of
foods and feeds, and providing a penalty
of 5000 fine or two years Imprisonment
or both for violation of law. Chairman

Delos F. Wilcox, after Many
Years. Study of Street Rail-
ways, Says Municipal Owner
ship Is Solution of Problem
WOULD OUTLAW STRIKES
Declares street Railways Should he
Run for Public Service, Not Private
Profit--Thinks Local Transportation
should lie Public Function

Washington Aug. 13.--Municipal owner
ship is the only solution Of the Ameri-
can street railway problem public con-
troll of private lines having broken down,
Delos +. Wilcox, New York franchise
expert, to-day told the federal electric
railway commission. Drawing from an
experience with trolley matters running
back over many years and particularly
upon his present connection with investi-
cation of the affairs of the Public Serv
ice Railway company Of New Jersey.
Mr.. Wilcox said thope was no escape
from the logic Of conditions, pointing to
the handling of urban transportation as
AN essential public service and not for
private profit.
The street railway problem, he said,
narrowed down to four questions that
must be determined; first, whether the in
vestment should be regarded as a
speculative one or be guaranteed; second
whether the business was to be conducted
primarily for service or for profit; third
whether continuity of service was not to
be guaranteed, outlawng suspension
through strike, and fourth, whether public
or private agencies should own and
operate the roads.
Answering the first question. he said
street railway investments should not be
treated as speculative but should yield a
fixed return.
AS to the second. he declared service
always should be the governing mo-
tive of operation. Disruption of street
car service through strikes should be
prevented. he said, and strikes be out
lawed and penalized. but only after
full protection of the workers had
been provided"
