DINE FARES CAUSE
BOYCOTT IN BOSTON

BOSTON, July ia fuII-fedged
boycott is on against the Decent fare
rate inaugurated on the Boston eIe-
waited system. Thousands who ac-
cepted the gradual advance in the
fare rate from cents to cents re-
fused TO patronize the cars of the
company any longer. Those who are
too far from their work to walk are
taking the steam cars, jitney lines,
and ferries.
The result is that the steam lines
from points about Greater Boston
are enjoying record breaking pas
senger traffic. The ferries during
rush hours are damned. Jitney lines
are doing more business than they
ever dreamed of coming their way.
Incidentally thousands are walking
to and from their work, even 10 the
extent OF two and three miles.

How Russian Admiral
Worked In Shipyard
Here For SIS a Week

with the Russian navy and in 1916
took command of a fiotilla of gun
boats. In 1917 he was sent on a mis-
sion to the United States by Prince
Wolf. and it was while he was en-
gagged IN this work the Reds, under
the leadership of Lenine and Trotsky,
seized the reins of the government at
Petrograd, and de Richter found him
self a ship without a home port.
Baron Othon de Richter was
stripped of all his worldly posses
sions-except a wife and a willing
ness to work. And so when he
noticed in the. want ads of daily
paper that the New York Shipbuilding
Company wanted riggers. the Baron
hied himself to the Camden yards of
that company and got himself a job
at $S5 a week. while his wife look
ed around Philadelphia until she
found a home suitable for a ship
rigging rear admiral and his wife.
Carried a Dinner Pail
Instead of acting the part of a;
nobleman in reduced. circumstances,
the baron put his heart in his work
and became to his fellow workman
rigger Of exceptional skill, speaking
a broad experience at sea, and who
carried his two-score and nine years
as lightly as though they were but
half. He made his home at 1921
Walnut street, Philadelphia, and
every morning. with his dinner pail
carried on his arm, dressed in over
alls and walking with an erectness
becoming to a ship rigger as 1to a
baron, he went to work.
Every now and then, when there
was a let UP in his task, the baron
and his wife came here to Washing
ton. They called on Prince Wolf and
Baron Bakhmetieff, who. cut off
from communications, still maintain
ed the shell of the Russian embassy.
On one of these trips he received
word to join Admiral KolchaI1, and
dropping with perhaps a tinge of re-
greet his -overalls, he donned again
the uniform Of a rear admiral of the
Russian navy.
He started for Vladivostok at once,
He Travelled through British Columbia
and japan in safety, but during the
latter part OF his trip he was in the
greatest danger. Finally he reached
omsk, and reporting to. the head
quarters OF Admiral Kolchak he was
at once re-instated as one Of the
highest officers in the naval COM
mand.

TIRED OF
THIS DISCRIMINATION
They Want Freight Rates From Eliza
beth City to Points on Chow
an, cashie and Roanoke Rivers

A Committee Of the Chamber ol
Commerce is trying to relieve Ellza-
beth City of a discrimination in the
matter of freight rates to points on
Chowan. Cashie and Roanoke rivers.
Elizabeth City has no freight tarlH
on these points. All rates are figured
on the Norfolk tariff and Ellzaoetn
City jobbers and wholesalers pay the
same rate of freight to points on the
Roanoke, Cashie and the Chowan, as
paid by Norfolk merchants. the NOT
folk iobber or wholesaler ships MS
goods to those points thru Elizaoeth
City and gets the same rates charged
from Elizabeth City. Either the rate
of freight between Norfolk and those
river points should be increased or
the rate between Elizabeth City ana
those river points should be reduceo'
Elizabeth City wholesale houses are
getting everlastingly tired of this sort
of discrimination. 1t is just this sort
of thing that keep the Norfolk Soutn-
ern railroad in bad with so many bus1-
ness men in Elizabeth City, and then
the officials Of this road are Forever

Hon. Martin B. Simpson, City Attor-

ed, amused himself about midnight of
Monday, January 20. by throwing bill
lard balls thru the windows of the

Saturday morning. He noted an ap-
peal The bill of indictment was pre-
sented by a Pasquotank grand jury,
ed to. bother the young City Attorney
Recorder Spence having hitherto fail
with trial.
W. G. Poole, who was indicted on a
similar charge, was dismissed, there
being no evidence to connect him with
the midnight attack on the Y. M. G. A.
Mr. Simpson denies the charge, but
evidence is that some one in the vicin-
ity of the Elks' Club bombarded the
Y. M. c. A with billiard balls, break
ing out numerous window lights and
creating a panic among the inmates.
The billiard balls belonged to the Elks'
Club and Mr.. Simpson and another
man were seen running to shelter in
the Elks' Club about the time the balls
were thrown.
A strenuous effort was made to hush
the scandal. The policeman who swore
out a warrant against Simpson was
kicked off the police force and the
original warrant pigeon-h -holed.
The grand jury at the March Term
of the Superior Court looked into the
case and presented a true bill, forcing
Judge Spence to put the case on trial
Mr. Simpson was represented in court
by his law partners E. F. Aydlett and
Mayor Sawyer.
