Nixon C.onnes Home
Approving 9 Buses,
Praising Mayor
Public Service Commissions
er Now Sees Good Inn Mo-
tor Transit; Applaaads Hy-
lam for Stand ON Strike

Lewis Nixon, Public Service Com
missioner, who went abroad six weeks
ago to look into the question Of bus
transportation and to acquire first
hand information relative to the ad-
visibility of such service in this
city, returned yesterday on the Cunard
liner Imperator.
The impressions he took abroad with
him were somewhat altered on his re-
turn and now he is inclined to coincide
with the views on bus operation that
have been promulgated by Mayor
Hylan. Incidentally he praised the
Mayor for his course during the B. R.
T. strike.
From what learned Of the strike" "
said Commissioner Nixon. "no one
could find fault with the way the sit
uation was handled. Apparently there
was no cause for criticism Of the
Mayors policy, which was dictated
throughout by common sense end with
due regard for law and order"
In his quest for ideas and opinions
on traffic handling generally, Mr..
Nixon said he found in London views
on bus transportation as contradictory
and divergent as they are in this city.
"One Of the strongest impressions
I got abroad is that hit or miss legis-
lation must be avoided. am con-
vinced that busses are good thing,
but they should not be run on high
ways already occupied by street rail-
ways. In many ways busses can do
good work. But if they are to be per-
mitted to enter seriously as factor
of transportation, it should be under
the most definite regulations and not
under a guerrilla system as they are
running now. The bus drivers in this
city are doing about as they please.

There were hundreds of raids. The
republicans say they gathered up 500

minor Carsonite arsenals were digcoy-

nine rifles each.
impressive scenes took place outside
the Cork Jail yesterday and to-day,

traffic made in the House of Commons.
I read it carefully and noted that the
very elasticity which permits omui-
buses to run out from stopping places
out OF their proper order, and to
meander and move sideways on the
roads and to be driven two abreast, is
in many cases a material element in
road congestion. Flexibility implies
taking advantage Of chances Of pass
ing other vehicles, and though it may
be an advantage for speed as against
other competitors it is not without
it's element of danger.
However, am not and never have
been against busses, and believe they
may eventually take the places of some
street railways. We cannot scrap a
street railway line because some one
considers bus service superior"

criticized without examination. This
principle was sustained in Parliament
in 1915.
"The British government" said Mr..
Nixon, "was anxious that fares should
not be raised to meet the wage in
creases. and there was no way to avoid
this unless the profits of the wealthier
companies were drawn on to aid the

SLACKER DRIVE TO BE STARTED
SOON.

A nation wide drive to round up
draft deserters will be started with
in the next few weeks by the war
department, according to letters re-
tceived in Dubuque today. A list
containing the names of 1891 names
of men accused of eyading the draft
during the war will be made public
it was said.
Strenuous efforts have been made by
the war department to give every man,
classified as a draft deserter an OPP
portunity to show that he did not
wilfully evade his duty, the letter
said. Every man who is in doubt as
to his draft record is urged by the
adjutant general of the army to write
to him within the next two weeks
in order to afford sufficient time for
his case to be settled before the slack
er list is made public.
Urged to Write In.
"The war department is most anx-
ious not to place upon any man who
served his country honorably the hui
initiation of having his name appear
as a Stacker, and for that reason is
seeking the widest publicity OF the
fact that list of deserters will be
published, and that the men whose
names appear on that list will be ar
rested and brought to trial before a
military court" according to state
ment issued by the adjutant general.
"Any man, therefore, who is not posi-
tive that his record with his local
board was complete in every detail
should at once avail himself of this
opportunity to clear his record and
avoid the probable publication OF his
name as deserter.
Will Go After Dererters.
"Once the list of deserters is posted.
every means at the disposal OF the
army will be brought into play to
bring about the arrest and trial OF
the guilty"
"The tremendous public sentiment
against slackers will cause the where
abouts of most of them to be reveal
ed, and it not expected that any
guilty man will escape"

On Sunday, August 1st, it was esti-
mated that 400 automobiles passed in
and out of the hatchery grounds at
Spring Branch. A great many Of these
guests prepared lunches in advance.
and there was continuous feasting
throughout the day. These visitors,
as whole are typical class of the
best OF. American citizens, and there
is rarely ever any evidence of bad
conduct. However, the Superintend-
ent of the hatchery observed on the
above date that certain parties had
failed to make use of the garbage
boxes after lunch time. If the parties
should perchance read this article, it
is desired that they will resolve not
to leave boxes, papers, and surplus
food strewn over the grounds.
Come again; but please do not fail
to clean up.
