TRANSFERS REFUSED.
Conductor Had Run Out of Supply
and Declined to Get More.

To the Editor of The Star:
desire to call your attention to an
incident which has occurred recently
on cars of both of the street railway
companies of this city, and ask that
this matter be given publicity and if
possible brought to the attention of
the Public Utilities Commission.
Sunday evening 1 boarded a car of
the Capital Traction Company operat-
ing on Florida avenue After paying
fares for myself and party 1 requested
to purchase transfers. The conductor
informed me that he had no transfers,
because he had run out / then re-
quested him to give me some sort of
ldentincation check TO give the con-
ductor or the next car, which he said
was impossible. Thereupon l asked
mat my fare be returned and was in
formed again that this was impos-
slple' because the fares had been reg
lstered. suggested that he stop the
next mex! car bound in the opposite direc-
slon and secure a supply of transfers

ANOTHER DELAY|N
TRIAL OF COCcH|
Murderer of Ruth
Cruger Hopes to Save Time
in Case of Conviction.

BOLONGA. Italy, July 25 (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press).-
Jurymen who sat in the last session
of the court which has been trying
Alfredo Cocchi for the murder of Ruth
Cruger in New York city have told
the Associated Press correspondent
that they saw little hope for Cocchi
in his dramatic tale, in which he ac-
cused his own wife of killing the New
York girl and admitted he mutilated
Miss Cruger's body to protect his
wife.
The juror said Cocchi's story had
robbed him of any pity the jury might
otherwise have.
HE gained nothing by his dramatic
presentation in the court of the af-
fair" said one juryman. THE very
description of the incidents were
enough to accuse him. disregarding
any of the motives that he might have
had. His tale was certainly we'll pre-
pared for him. OF course, it is GER

conductor then became indignant and
insolent saying that he could not
help it because his supply of trans
fers had become exhausted, and that L
would have to pay another fare when
l got on the next car.
have also been informed by friends
that this same thing has occurred on
cars of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company.
This would. indeed. be a novel way
for the street railway companies of
this city to secure additional revenue.
II they should Systematically fail to
give their conductors sufficient trans
fers to accommodate the demands Of
the passengers. and thereby force
them to pay an extra fare instead
of the cents for transfer.
Cannot some steps be taken to COM
pei the street railway companies to
furnish their conductors enough
transfers to supply the needs of the
patrons of their lines and not force
the people, who are already over
charged for the service rendered, to
pay an extra fare, when they are en-
titled to a transfer for the sum of 2
cents? THOS. d. DAVIDSON.

Frances First Line of Defense.

France hopes by developing a strong
Poland and Rumania to keep the Rus
slams and Germans separated. These
two states may be said to form
Frances first line of defense. Czecho-
sIovakia. Jugoslavia and Greece form
the second line. If Rumania leaves the
entente she is bound to swing toward
the RussO-German combination.
Frances first line of defense would
thus completely collapse.
Permanent alienation of Rumania
would be of the gravest consequences
TO the whole of the entente diploma
cy. The American delegates who may
be tempted to judge Rumania's ac-
ton as an isolated incident should
not overlook these fundamental con-
ceptions of European high politics.
Americans around the Hotel de Grill
lon have the impression that Britain
and Italy share the American point
of view with regard to Rumania's
Hungarian adventure. but that France
is covertlys supporting the Rumanians.
Close political analysis fails to bear
out this hypothesis. 1t is undoubted-
1y true that all the allies feel slightly
shocked at Rumania's contempt for
their lofty edicts. To this extent
they are agreed. but how far they
are willing to go toward bringing
Rumania to reason is another mat

France and Britain are
equally DESTROYS of keeping.
Rumania Skeptical of League.

AS for Italy her fundamental policy
is the isolation of Jugoslavia. To this
end she may be expected to desire
Cancellation between the Rumanians
and Hungarians. but she would doubt
less not be worried to see Rumania
profit at the expense of Jugoslavia
Our American delegates are talking
Indignantly of excluding Rumania
from the league Of nations and bring
ing economic and financial pressure
to bear on her unless she behaves.
The Rumanians are openly skeptical
of the league. and as for economic or
financial pressure they are convinced
that American business men will find
it to their interest to do business with
Rumania whether or no they like
Rumania's politics.

France and Britain United.

Rumania, as I have said, is the
corner stone of Frances continent al
policy. Britain, the traditional aim
of which on the continent has been
merely to prevent any single Euro
pean nation from becoming too
strong, has consistently supported
Frances policy except when domestic
reasons. such as labor opposition
oblige her representatives to make a
momentary show of more liberal
spirit. Both Britain and France have
been continually disposed to sacrifice
Hungary to the Rumanian, Jugoslav
Czechoslav and Polish claims, and
Bulgaria to the Jugoslav, Rumanian
and Greek claims. Their present in
dignation against Rumania. therefore,
probably arises not so much from
Rumania's action in Hungary as from
the fact that this occupation works
an injustice to the claims of the
Jugoslavs and Czechoslovaks, whose

Cyclones reported raging over the
ocean today caused Harry Hswker,
pilot Of the Sopwith sirplane, to an
nounce another postponement OF the
transatlantic flight until tomor-
row.
Continued rains increased the
depth of the mud on the field, but
rapid progress made in the as
sembling Of the Martinsyde plane
goaded Hawker to the point of
desperation. He was willing 10
risk dashing down a hill at a sixty
mile clip to lift the three-ton Pane,
now completely loaded. into the air
and aim east for England. but the
unpropitious weather report per-
suaded him it would be unwise TO
make the attempt today.
The same adverse conditions
which brought about the third post
ponement OF the Sopwith start also
caused Rsynham to abandon the
trial of the Martinsyde which had
been arranged for this afternoon,

slav outlet to the sea. at the same
time attempting to guarantee the
interests of Italy.
The conference between the Presi-
dent and Premier Orlando of Italy
lasted all day yesterday. the Presi-
dent insisting that Fiume was a
natural Jugo-Slav outlet and that IL
granted to Italy the award certainly
would constitute a menace to the
future peace of the world. Late in
the afternoon President Wilson had
not shifted his position while Pre-
mier Orlando continued TO back
Italy's claims. The latter. however,
was understood to be conciliatory
but emphasized that an 'Italisn out
burst was feared II Fiume was lost.
The big four took up the general
Adriatic situation today. The inter
probation placed on the statement last
night by President Wilson was that
the conference had decided to clean
up as regards Germany first, though
view of an optimistic nature was
taken of Wilson's reference to a set
tlement of the Adriatic question.
1t is not impossible that the terms
for Austria will be completed as soon
