Traction Head, Is Charge.
PLEA FOR INCREASED REVENUE
Street Car Company Must Meet
Higher Pay Roll Cost.
May Abandon West Eighth Line
and Fair Ground Loop.

Topeka's ordinance regulating and
restricting jitney operations is a dead
letter. That was the charge before the
court of industrial relations today by
Albert NJ Patten. general manager Of
the Mckinley Syndicate, as he told of
needs of increased revenues in order to.
meet street railway operating eX-
penses. He told the court certain To-
cal service might be eliminated with
reduction of operating expense and
improvement of general service.
Patten stated that the West Eighth
avenue line might be abandoned sue
cessfully-provided the company is
not compelled to meet the expense of
repaving and removing tracks. Elim-
ination of fair grounds loop service ex-
cept during busy season at the fair
grounds was urged. Shorey, Highland
Park and Gage park lines were de-
clared among the less productive. All
others. Patten said. are in good reve-
nue. producing districts
Suburban Lines Poor Pay.
"Shorey looks like real street car
territory" Patten told the court but
it has never been productive. Our
Gage park and Highland Park lines
are the only ones which operate thru
territory, which is not well settled.
Elimination of the fair grounds loop
would aid in Improvement of other
service and the territory would be

The telegram, which stated that the
mine workers will use all the power
in their command to compel the op-
orators to return every dollar to the
miners that was stolen from their
wages" may be interpreted as tanta-

national president. President Lewis,
in a recent telegram to the local off

been $4,000 daily.
This man, the story goes. made his
money by investing SIS at so per cent
interest each forty-five days and
bringing Ponzi new clients for which
he received 10 per cent commission.
Ponzi claimed to have made his money
by investing in international postal re-

years with a small shop. She is said
to have "cashed" in for $26. 900 when
the federal investigation into Ponzi's
affairs was started. Others made SIM

Foreigners Were Active.
Inquiries at banks In the foreign
districts showed an enormous number
of foreigners invested in PonZrs
