Autoists Who Parked in
Field Club District "Fined,"
Receipt Book Of Police
man Shows.

A new method OF making money
by taking advantage of a city ordi-
nance was revealed last night when
c. w. Schenk, a special policeman
living at 703 South Sixteenth street,
was arrested by Policeman Joe Tre-
Siia charged, with obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Schenk, who is employed by the
residents of the Field club district
to look after houses in the neighbor-
hood, it is said, had been collecting
fines from automobile owners, who
had parked their cars in the district
at night. He had a receipt book
printed, and when offenders, who us
ually. were accompanied by young
women, brought their cars to stop
in some dark spot, Schenk would
show his badge which read, Block
Policeman" and would collect fines
ranging. from $3.50 to Sc from the
unsuspecting drivers, police say. p
Gave Receipts, He Said.
He gave each man receipt for the
amount collected, stating that the
money had been received for "vio-
lation of a city ordinance prohibit
ing the parking of automobiles on
public highways i'll the Field club dis
trict," he said.
He told the pelice that he intended
to turn the money which he collected
over to the Field club or to the city.
Officers at the Field club last night
denied that Schenk had any cennec-
ton with the organization.
Twenty-one dollars had been col
lected by the special officer Saturday
and Sunday nights, the receipt book
showed. He was arrested last night
before any fines had been collected.
Schenk obtained the name of each
of his victims, and in some casesreb-
tanned the name of the girl in the
automobile.
Those in the Book.
The names disclosed in his receipt
book, which was taken by the police
last night, follow: Mike Adams
Twenty first and Q streets, and Miss
Lucille Williams. Fifteenth and
Monroe streets; C. E. Frost, 26lo
South Twenty-second street. and

Higher Freight Rates
Will Not Increase the
H.C.L., Say Rail Heads

Washington, May 24.-Belief that
advances in freight rates to provide
the more than billion dollars ad-
ditional revenue asked by the rail
roads would not increase the cost OF
living was expressed by spokesmen
for the carriers in opening their case
before the Interstate Commerce
commission.
Nothing I know Of" said Daniel
Willard, president of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad, would reduce the
cost of living so much as the prompt
and speedy transportation of goods"
He added that the revenues asked
as necessary to provide the 6 per
cent return guaranteed by the gov
ernment in the transportation act,
would enable the carriers to pur-
chase sufficient equipment to move
commodities now unable to reach a
market.
Frederick Strauss of New York,
also appearing for the roads, de-
clartd so or 90 per cent increase
in freight rates would have no ap-
preciable effect on the movement to
bring down living cosst.

button Of the sugar supply through
a sweeping investigation OF sugar
brokers who ignore conditions OF
their federal licenses, A. w. Riley,
special assistant to Attorney Gen
eral Palmer, announced last night.
This announcement followed
closely upon the testimony before
the joint legislative committee IN
vestigating profiteering, OF Herbert
Hoover. who charged the govern
ment with responsibility for the high
price of sugar because of ITS failure
to authorize the sugar equalization
toard to purchase the Cuban crop
last year at E l-2 cents pound and
up on announcement that price OF re-
fined sugar had been increased to
p 1-2 cents-an advance OF 5 cents
within a week.
The investigation, headed by Mr.,
Riley, will begin tomorrow.
1T is our intention" he said, ito
do everything IN our. power to
remedy the market conditions and
obtain a fair distribution of the
sugar supply, even if it must be at !
the expense of some nonessential
industries"
Mr.. Riley said that when sugar
dealers were confronted with the
evidence of violations of their war
time license agreements it was the
Usual thing for them to attempt o
wriggle out of responsibility.
These licenses are most emphat-
ically sti1r in effect" he added, "and
it is part of the governments task
TO bring this fact to the dealers at

Employment of economic patent

cost of living was attacked by Mr..
Hoover. He said what was required
was. definite coordination of
policies of readjustment and a
policy of seeking a remedy through
studying conditions under the sur
face.
In amplifying his opening state
ment, Mr.. Hoover declared there
could be no question that the
amount of speculation and profiteer-
ing has been considerable. He ex-
pressed it as his opinion that the
remedy lay i'll the reduction of
credits and initiation and in vigor-

Mr.. Hoover said he believed the

Republican Senators Blunt|y
0utspoken Against Request
Of President for Authority to
Assume Foreign Burden.
HARBORD REPORT CITED
AS REASON FOR STAND
Senators Not Interested in
Message and Wilson's Rea-
sons for Asking Authority
And Few Hear Reading.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, May 24.-Presiden,
Wilson today appealed to congress
to grant him authority to accept the
Armenian mandate for the United
States.
He sent message to both houses
declaring that he was acting Sin the
confidence that | am speaking in the
spirit and in accordance with the
wishes of the greatest of Christian
peoples" He felt he was giving ad-
vice from which the congress will
not willingly turn away"
Few Hear Message.
The reception of the presidents
message could hardly be said to
presage the early passage of a reso-
luton granting him authority to as
sumo the mandate.
In the senate. the reading of the
message failed to excite ripple of
interest. Reports have been current
for several weeks that the president
minded to formally ask congress for
power to accept the mandate and not
more than half dozen senator's re-
manned on the floor to hear the pres
ident's reasons for urging its ac-
ceptance.
Republicans Bluntly Outspoken.
Republican senators, almost with
out exception, were bluntly out
spoken against granting the presi-
dent the desired authority. Demo
Gratis for the most part maintained
the silence they usually try to main
tain these days, when the president
issues pronunciamento. Many of
them are known TO be against the
mandate. Unless sentiment of the
upper house undergoes a violent re-
versal, indications are that the presi-
dents request is doomed to go the
way of the peace treaty and the
league of nations.
Senator Lodge, the republican
leader, declined to comment on the
presidents message. He merely re-
ferrcd if1terviewsers -tos thcs 6ord

$1,000 troops, a good sized naval es-
tablishment and $756,000,000 would
