DEVELOPMENT Of the industry, which ut

THE industry" Mr.. Pardee said In
mart s'has, 1 am firmly convinced,
nassed through it's period OF srentest
trayail, and Is now upon the road to
better days. Statistics indicate for prac-
ticaIly all companies both larger earn /:
ipgs and increased riding. Some COM
panies are now earning satisfactory
return, and many are earning an
amount above their operating expenses
and fixed charges, while few are in that
desperate financial condition that was
present with nearly all Of them two
years ago, or even year ago. This
showing emphasizes the Inherent sta
bility of the electric railway industry.
"a perusal OF the reports of the nu
merous commissions that have investi.
gated and studied electric railway affairs
discloses striking unanimity Ia the
conclusions reached. The three founda
tion conclusions met with In the report
OF the Federal Electric Railways Com
mission are distinctly stated and alone
more than compensate. for the time and
carries an authority which ia, most bene-
fetal and far reaching. These basic
principles are:
First. That the industry Is an
essential industry and that there Is in
sight no means of local transporta-
tion that can adequately perform its
Second. That under existing con.
ditions public ownership and opera
tion is inadvisable is the public inter-
est. and
Third. That in the regulation of
electric railways provision must be
made through fares for such an ade-
uuate return upon the capital used
and useful in the public service as
will restore general credit. inspire
confidence In investors and insure a
continuing flow Of new capital.
'There is general recognition Of
the necessity Of higher fares. Statistics
gathered by the association show that
in more than 800 cities in the country
electric railways have increased their
fares. In eighty one such communities,
having a combined population Of more
is charged /; in fifty eight others the base
fare is 8 or 0 cents, while In more than
300 1t is either 9 or cents. And con ;
trary to prophecies aud statements
made in connection with the subject,
there. has been no general decrease In
the number of passengers occasioned
by these increases.
Fares are but responding TO the in
fuence of the general higher price level.
They have not, however, kept pace
with the Increase in individual income
and the ability of the public to pay
them, and that Is a sufficient guarantee
that there will be no general falling of
in the riding habit for this reason"
The number Of lines usin1 Safcty
cars has increased from 1000 34C
! during the year and the number of cars
In use has grown in the same period
from 100 to $3.50, said G. w. Kel-
lcgg, of Boston, reporting for the com .
mittee on safety-car operation.

QUIZ VALENTINE
ABOUT $4,000 roll

Postal authorities were to quiz
Edward Valentine, 452l Evans Ave,
just how he came IN possession of
100000 in cashiers checks, and more
than 1000 unopened registered let
tiers.
Valentine was arrested Saturday
upon the complaint of a Kokomo,
Ind, clothing merchant, and the
checks and letters were found by ac-
cident. He insists that he was given
the checks and letters by another man.
Miss Hazel Grubbs, of Marion, Ind,
was with Valentine at the time of his
arrest, and federal authorities say they
will probably hold him on the Mann
Act if they cannot connect him with
a postal theft. Miss Grubbs is IS
years of age, and says that Valentine
promised to marry her. 4

SEE new HOPE
FOR CHAMbL|SS
FREEDOM
7ew EWg-


Failure of the States Attorney to
file his approval of bill of excep-
tons taken by ex-Policeman Dorsey
Chambliss' attorney may win for the
JAILED eX-poiceman another chance
for fight for freedom.
Atty. +. L. Barnett representing
Dorsey Chambliss obtained from
Judge Harry Lewis, of the Criminal
Court, last week an order permitting
the filing of bill of exceptions as
of date of Oct. g A bill of excep-
tons is a recitation of legal errors
which the defendant asserts took
place during the trial. According to
law it must be filed within specified
time after the trial. This time limit
expired in Chambliss' case on Oct. 9.
However, although the bill had
been approved by States Atty.
Hoyne, it was not filed, through some
negligence, probably on the part of
the States Attorneys office When
Atty. Barnett later sought to file the
bill the clerk refused to accept it.
This, Judge Lewis said, prevented
Chamblss' counsel from proceeding
with the appeal through a mere tech
nicality.
Atty. Barnett said he would go be-
fore the Illinois Supreme Court in his
effort to obtain new trial.
Chambliss, with Mrs. Emma Ross,
was convicted last June of contribut-
ing to the delinquency of Bertha
Wiebeck, young white girl. Cham
bliss and Mrs. Ross relied on the de-
Tense that Bertha Wiebeck was OF
age and already a prostitute before
she met Chambliss and Mrs. Ross.
The defense also held that there was
no evidence TO prove that Bertha
Webeck was the same girl with
whom witnesses swore they had seen
Chambliss.
On August 3, they were taken to
Joliet, where they now are.

Lone Bandit Spreads
Terror on South Side

Chicago's South Side, which
has been generally free from
bandits and holdup men during
other crime epidemics, has sud
denly become a fruitful field for
all types of outlaws, from pick
pockets to blowers. Chief
among those who have thrown
the world famous "blaek belt"
into terror, is the lone bandit
who operates in broad daylight.
His hobby is holding up milk
wagons, but he does not hesitate
to back pedestrians into alleys
and doorways and strip not only
their money and valuables, but
their clothing from them. He
victimized eight people Saturday.
Monday he began again by stag
ing a daylight holdup at 41st st,
and Calumet Ave. He followed
this up by taking $22 from
Charles Welch, a Borden Dairy
driver. All this was done while
the police were securing the
neighborhood looking for him.
Police have orders to shoot
him on sight.

editor of the Observer, a Balti-
more society paper, dealing with
the intimate and social sides of
eastern life, was recently set
upon and beaten up by DR.. A.

Bragg was in the smoking room,
when DR.. Penn entered, and
without any preliminaries, began
mauling the Baltimore man.
