There have been several applica-

refused to take out the cars upon
learning the schedule of pay and also
that a strike is on. 1t appears that
the company has but one course
open under the present circumstances
and that course is to attempt to
operate the cars on a half-hour
schedule on the Algiers-Gr line,
and an hourly schedule on the
Gretna-Marrero line. which would

Another step in her fight for
possession of her 2-year-old boy was
gained by Mrs. Olive Donovan Wed
nesday when the supreme court

Judge Wilson said he would issue

child in court was met by a plea to
the supreme court, just decided

has been guilty of ill treatment on
several occasions and that one time
he put her out of their home and
refused to give up possession of the
younger child. She took the eldest.

COUNCIL REFUSES ALGIERS
FARE RAISE.

Following the refusal of the lief
ferson parish police jury Monday to
grant an Scent fare to the South
New Orleans Light & Traction Co.
on the Algiers-Gretna line. the Com
mission Council TUESDAY declined to
take action until further confer
ence is held with the Jefferson Off
Gals in an effort to smooth out the
tangles involved in the double fran
chise. In a final effort to reach an
agreement, Commissioner Glenny
met President Fisher of the Jeffer-
son police jury yesterday.
E. w. Burgess, general manager
of the South New Orleans Light &
Traction Company, presented his
company's request for an increased
car fare in a somewhat modified
form from the first request made by
the company. His new proposition
is for a cash fare of s cents: the
sale of tickets in five or ten lots at
I cents each, and tickets to school
cnlluren Tor cents each.
Mr.. Burgess says the employees of
the railroad are all out and they
will not go back to work under the
old contract and the company can
not pay what they demand unless
the increase is granted. He said
the company was denied relief in
Jefferson parish not from any rea-
sonable business analysis of the
petition. but because of
popular clamor in Gretna and the
decision to hold strictly to the fran
chise agreements. Following a gen.
eral discussion the question went
over until after the conference be-
tween Mr.. Glenny and Mr.. Fisher.

PAGER Lecco Ready
To Return To Track

Chas. L. Ansley is in receipt of a
letter from Pop" Geers, driver, that
his fast pacing horse, Lecco Grat.
tan, is fast rounding into form again
and expects to start at Lexington,
KY, on Monday, Oct. 4. 1t was on
August 6, while warming up for a
race that he sprained tendon and
had to be laid up in the "horsepi-
tai" for several weeks.
Of course, after being laid up, a
horse, just the same as a man, gets
out of racing form, and it requires
several weeks to bring him back
again.
Mr.. Geers writes Mr.. Ansley that
he stepped Lecco an easy mile in
2:10 in workout at Syracuse on
Sept. Is, the same day that he was
thrown from his sulky in a collision
suffering a broken wrist.
A wire from Mr.. Geers to Mr.. Ans
ley states that he is himself i'm
proving rapidly but as to whether
he will be able to resume his seat
in the sulky at Lexington or not
depends entirely on his improve
ment in the next ten days. Mr.. Ans
ley expects to go to Lexington dur
ing the races to see Lecco start.
