CITY BUS SERVICE
IN STATEN ISLAND
ATTACKED BY NIXON
Called Inadequate at Strike
Hearing-Added JitneyS
Get Public to Work.

The hearing called by Public Serv-
ice Commissioner Nixon this morn
ing to investigate the trolley strike
which has tied up Staten Island, de-
veloped into an impeachment Of
Mayor Hylan's bus service, but so far
has done little TO deal with the ques-
ton of settling the strike.
Among the witnesses called was
Louis b. Tribus, consulting engineer
OF Staten Island. who testified that ne
had called upon the Board Of Estimate
with other members OF the Citizens
Committee, seeking the Boards aid
In getting adjustment OF the fares for
the Richmond Light and Railroad
Company, being convinced that the
Company could not operate at Ave
cents. He said he told the Board that
the people of Staten Island were will
ing TO pay seven cent fare. but that
Mayor Hyian had told him not to
Worry, that the city would take care
of the people with a bus service"
Assistant Corporation Counsel Don
nelly and Attorney Torrance b. Far
ley for the commission FLASHED at this
point, whereupon Commissioner
Nixon interviewed with:
Il want TO say right here and now
that the bus service on Staten Island
Is inadequate. 1t is an experiment of
the kind which should not be carried
out. Never before has there been
such a disgraceful situation in this
city as this experiment Of bus lines
competing with trolley companies"
When Assistant Corporation Counsel
Donnelly asked an adjournment until
tomorrow Commissioner Nixon said
I've never had a real understanding
with the city officials on any subject,
and this Is one case in which we
should all work together II you want
an adjournment to prove the efficiency
OF buses ] will not grant II. I am sorry
1 have to show such distrust but Il
you are planning a court action to tie
me up from proceeding then there will
be no adjournment"
Adjournment was granted with the
understanding that the city will moi
interfere with Nixon's attempt to settle
the strike. Mr.. Donnelly said the city
wants to help the people of Staten
Island.
Mr.. Nixon asked President Finne-
gan OF the street car mems union 10
hold himself in readiness for a confer
ence tending to bring about an i'd
justment OF the situation.

Laundry marks vary greatly In Eu-
rope. Those used In England consist
of certain small letters or figures
stitched In red thread. In some parts
of France linen is defaced by having
the whole name and address OF the
laundry stamped upon 1t and an addi-
tional geometrical design to Indicate
the owner. In Batavia every piece has
a number stamped on 1t In large let
ters. In other parts of Germany a
small cotton label Is attached by
means of hot waterproof adhesive.
In bulgaria each laundry has a large
number of stamps engraved with de-
signs, and In Russia the laundries
mark linen with threads worked In
arrow shape. In some Russian towns
the police periodically issue regula-
tons for laundries. while In Odessa
books of marks are furnished annually
TO the lauadry proprietors. and these
marks and no others may be used. BY
this system criminals and revolution
AIRY agitators are often traced.

HERoNS CLING TO OLD HOMES

Geological Gardens.

The gray herons of Rotterdam, IA
mlliars of the city for centuries, have
gradually, according to correspond
emit Of the Times of London. been
pushed out of their old territories to
make way for the growth of the port.
The waters had been gathered into
canals, the spaces began to dry, ana
little by little new streets built on
piles invaded the heron ground. Her
ons, unlike storks do not take TO
the dwellings of men, but they cling
desperately to their nesting places,
the elms and the willows OF the boule-
Yards. Finally ousted, they preserved
but one refuge and that the Geological

AS the roll is revolved, let the wires
