SCATTERING OF GLASS
ON STREET DENOUNCED
North Capitol and lexington Citi-
zens' Association Has De-
bate on 0ffense.

Broken glass lying on the streets
Of Washington and constituting a
serious danger to the tires of auto
mobilists was the subject of an ami
mated discussion at meeting of the
North Capitol and lexington Citi-
Gems Association last night at the
Emery School.
Members of the fire and police COM
mittee of the association, following
a talk with Maj. Raymond w. Pull
man, said that Maj. Pullman pointed
out to them that the breaking of
glass on the streets and allowing it
to remain constitute a serious vio-
lation of the law and can be pun
ished by fine or Imprisonment.
Want Reports of Cases.
Members of the association claim
ed that to puncture an automobile
tire, which cost from $50 to $50, rem
dering it unfit for service. was as
serious an offense as if the money
mended that all cases found where
glass is broken and left on the
streets be reported back to the as
sociation.
BY unanimous vote it was decided
to hold a reception within the next
from the section in which the assoc
citation does its work. The reception
Will be held at the Emery School,
probably in June.
Although the association did not go
on record as opposed to the petition
of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company for an increase in
fare rates, it was contended that
traffic conditions on the lines of the
company should be much improved.
Suggest Trailer Cars.
President Selden NJ. Ely of the as
ISOLATION asserted that the use of
trailer cars would greatly improve
the congested traffic conditions, par
ticularly on the Brookland and
Maryland lines of the company.

CatarrhaI DEAFNESS CANNOT Be Curto

the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbng sound or i'm.

closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever Many cases Of

RENT BILL COMES
BEFORE SENATE

Senator Gronna, chairman Of the
conference committee on the anti
rent prohteering bill for the District,
called up the conference report in the
Senate early this afternoon. Immedi-
ately half dozen Senators made in
quiries concerning the bill
Senator Smoot Of Utah said he had
just received a letter from a Wash
ingtOn attorney protesting that the
bill compelled property owners to
make repairs at the will Of the
tenant.
If the bill grants the rent commits
sion authority to dictate what i'm
provements or repairs should be
made, I think il a very dangerous
bill" declared Senator SmOot
The point was discussed at random
for fifteen minutes, Senator Gronna
finally assured Senator Smoot that no
such construction can be placed on
the language of the bill.
The conference report was on the
point Of being adopted when Senator
King, Of Utah, who undertakes the
censure Of every rent bill that comes
up in the Senate. began to make a
speech against prOfteers.
Diliatory tactics and useless talk
ing threatened 10 postpone action Of
the bill for another day, unless its
proponents put up a stiff backbone.
A number of Senators said that they
had not read the bill. although il
had been before the Senate for more
than a month.
Senator Gronna explained the
changes in the bill, the principal one
making the life OF the rent commits
sion two years.
Senator King bitterly condemned
the bill, which he declared places
future building operations in the Dis
trict i'm the hands OF the Govern
mental agencies. Real estate men
are not going to invest their money
in new buildings, he declared, when
they are subject to a commission ap-
pointed BY the Government TO control
the character Of buildings and all
matters Of contracts
The House is waiting for final ac-
tion BY the Senate before Il takes up
the rent measure. II the Senate only
permits. the conference report could
be adopted late today and the bill
could be sent to the President for his
signature.

cooperate in an effort to keep the
conference going as long as possible.
All the delegates appreciate the hope
lessness of reaching an agreement
The pressure in the way Of cOncilia-
ton and compromise comes from vari-
Gus members Of the public group;
neither capital nor labor shows the
slightest spirit Of getting together" 4"
feeling apparently that the differences
existing between them are irrecOpcil-
able.
Privately, various employers at
tending the conference discuss the
situation with the greatest frank
ness.
1--WE might as well hght this thing
out now as later" they say. I'VE are
bound TO have a fight. and Il is better
for the nation that the clash be not
postponed.
"The demands OF labor are impos-
sible. One concession only leads to
another one Of greater dimensions.
There Is no end TO the process. Boil
shevism and radiCalism have perme-
ated labor ranks TO such an extent
that the time for cOnciliation is past"
Labor Has same Attitude.
So far as a clash is concerned, Ia
Dor has much the same attitude. The
representatives Of organized labor
have maintained from rthe start that
the conference was useless, unless
there was some strong force that
could bring big business to terms.
To them the conference represented a
big handicap, so far as the conserva-
tives in their ranks are concerned.
II the conference fails, Mr.. GOmpers'
hold on the American Federation OF
Labor will diminish visibly. Il will
20 far toward throwing the whole or
ganiEation into the lap Of the radicals.
Il will be concrete evidence to mill
lions OF workers that the Government

WOMAN'S SKELETON
FOUND AT NORFOLK
Unearthed Near Spot Where
Buried Treasure Was Dis
covered Years Ago.

NORFOLK. Va Oct. IA skeleton
has been uncaTthed on the west bank
Of the Hague by three small sons OF
r. 3. Grimmer.
The boys were digging when the
spade struck something. After few
minutes Of digging a skull was un-
earthed, and shortly afterwsrd the
whole skeleton was uncovered. De-
tective NOwitsky. who conducted an
Investigation, pronounced IL the
skeleton Of woman.
Not far from the spot where the
skeleton was found is a hole from
which buried treasure was dug many
years ago. Older residents in the
neighbOrhood say that on "A certain
night in that place the neiEhhOring
families were disturbed by the sound
of voices and a muffod sound as
OF digging. When an investigation
was made no one was to be found.
Certain old residents remember
hearing how John COlley, sr~ and
John COIley, jr., had taken all their
Valuables from the old Colley house
one night when the Federal troops
were approaching Norfolk. The next
day John COlley, jr, went to join the
Confederate army. lie never re-
turned. The secret Of the spot where
the treasure was buried died with
him. Whether distracted by grief for
the loss Of his boy, or feeble-minded-
ness, John COlley, sT., would never re-
veal to any member OF his family
where the treasure was buried.

$500 FOR PAIR OF
SHOES TOO MUCH

NEW YORK. Oct. 11.-Talk about
your SIS to $25 shoes, that price is
nothing to what some folks have to
pay Take, for instance, Mrs. Amelia
X. Hess, wife of a public school prin-
cipal.
Mrs. Hess contracted for a pair Of
shoes last July, paying 5000 deposit,
and agreeing to pay monthly Install
ments Of $50. If she had kept up her
payments, she would have owned the
shoes free and clear by the summer Of
1920.
The trouble was that Mrs. Hess,
after depOsiting her 500, became con-
vinced that S2J pair Of shoes would
do her just as well, and now the Bal
anced Shoe Company. Inc, is suing
her for the unpaid balance of $500.
Mrs, Hess, through her attorneys.
has entered a counter claim for the
return Of the 5000. alleging that Mat
thew Hilgert, president of the com
pany, took advantage Of the fact
that she had painful feet to sell her
the $500 pair, on representations
which she then believed to be true,
but now does not.
Mrs. Hess lawyers also demanded
bill of particulars about these ex.
traOrdinary shoes, to which the law
yer for the shoe company replied by
furnishing a copy of the contract un-
der which Mrs. Hess undertook to pay
for her shoes on the installment plan
The contract is on a printed card
and has spaces at the bottom for ten
payments.
What became OF the shoes is a mys-
terry in the proceedings, as the shoe
company makes H. claim for work
labor and services rendered and 10
be rendered"
The case will be tried by jury. No
date has yet been set.
