INCREASED FARES O|V TRACTION TRAFF|CIS
 CONVENTION TOPIC

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1o.-Railway and utilities commissioners laid aside their formal convention program to- day and held an experience" meeting over the problem of street railways and enforcement of service standards on public utilities. Members of various state commissions who are attending the annual convention here gathered in round table conference to hear sug- gestions for improvement
 The talk covered effects of increased fares on street car traffic, the service at cost plan and the possibility of re- taining the short haul passengers through five-cent fares.
 Henry R. Trombower of Wisconsin said ways should be found to deal with motorists who use their machines ten months and street cars the rest of the year. The occasional street car pas senger, he said, should pay a fixed sum greater than the regular patron. He thought this might be reached by sell ing monthly tickets at reduction from cash fare.
 Edward Fad of the Missouri com mission urged the zone plan, with a basic rate of 5 cents for the congested district of cities.
 E. I. Lewis of the Indiana commits sion. chairman of the conference con- l lSnuSO lIIdL no SGnSIdi poilCg IOutQ pc 1 laid down, as conditions varied in cities. New York and Chicago, he de- clared, afforded examples of street railway systems used for political pur- l poses.
 Speakers generally appeared agreed that increased fares had not materially reduced passenger traffic.
 Discussion of service standards was taken up largely with the quality ot service given to telephone subscribers Lack of labor and increased cost oi materials, it was said. accounted foI inability to keep telephones and ga: companies up to pre-war standards.
 Extension of public utilities to rura communities as a means of keeping people on the farms was advocated by A. L.. F'reehafer. president of the Idaho commission.
 An address by Interstate Commerct Commissioner Clyde B. Aitchison or the railroad car shortage situation brought a question from Prank H
 Funk of the Illinois commission as |
 the authority of the state bodies owe
 car distribution. The subject wa made a special order for discussion to 1 morrow.

 Mrs. Harding shared the honors of the day for she also hooked a tarpon It was almost six footer, however, and she did not try to land 1t. She passed the rod over to Senator Hale. a guest of the president-e elect and his wife on their vacation trip. and he brought it in after struggle of more than a half hour.
 Senator Harding again spent the whole day on the tarpon fields three miles off shore. passing up an idea golf day to devote himself to the sport, to which he was introduced yesterday. His fishing win be inter. rupted tomorrok. however, when he goes to Brownsville. 20 miles away to deliver an Armistice day address He probably will give over the whole I day to the trip, playing a game ot golf at the Brownsville Country clut before delivering his address.

 The secretariat ofs the league, 300 strong, is occupying the largest hotel for it's offices. The delegations to the assembly of the league on Novem- Der 15. their secretaries and advisers are expected to number 1000 more, taxing to the utmost the accommoda- tions of this small city.
 Judging by the promptness and numerical strength of it's representa- ton. Japan is the country that takes it's role in the league most seriously. About 80 of it's delegates already are here, taking up three floors in two of I the leading hotels, and quarters have been reserved for 100 in all. pr. Gastoa Da Cunha. Brazilian ambassa- i dor to France and one of the most active members in the league council, was the first delegate to arrive. 1 Delegates are expected from at least 4I of the 45 members of the league. i The naw kingdom of the Hedjaz has not yet announced the appointment of a delegate but has asked press facilities for a Hedjaz correspondent

 was bought by the league, has beer
 rechristened The Palace of Nations
 Changes in the agenda of the con ference are considered unliketly. The first important subject comin, up, according to the program as
 now stands, is an amendment to tn league covenant. This discussion ma, if the delegates so wish, be precede by the question of the voting strengt' , of the delegations. It is recalled tha l Leon Bourgeois, French representa-
 tive at the time of adoption of th ; covenant, expressed the hope tha ? the assembly would accord the Frenc colonies the same right of represen 2 2 tation as accorded the British domiu } ions. The French delegation thus fla E has given no notice that it will brin z up the question.

CHIEF IF CHICAGO

 SECRETARY NAMED
TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased wIreI

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-Mayor William Hale Thompson today requested the resignation of Chief of Police John J. Garrity and immediately after receiv- ing it, appointed his secretary, Charles G. Fitzmorris chief for the announced purpose of 'ridding Chicago of crooks" !"
 Charity did his best but Fitzmorris can do better" was the mayors com ment on the appointment of the latter. 'Fitzmorris has studied crime and knows the game and am confident that he will get rid of the criminals 2
 The resignation of Chief Charity was not entirely unexpected. He had been the target of attacks by various counciImen for some time and it was rumored frequently that he would be asked to quit. Recently he was called before the federal grand jury to tell of his Investigations into the allegd illicit liquor traffic here. Last spring an attack was made on the chief by sev- era1 councilmen and it was understood that he was given six months proba- ton by the mayor with the under standing if he had not made good al the end of that time he would be asked to step out.
 Mir. Charity said he had had no in. timation, however, of the mayors plan: until the mayor called on him today
 He told me he had some new plan. to try out and that he wanted me t, resign" Garrity said. "Of course did"
 The appointment of Fitzmorris wa a surprise. He is the youngest chic
 of police the city has ever had, bein
 36 years old. Seventeen years ago h
 was employed on a local newspaper a
 s5 week. After several years he be
 came 8 reporter and was assigned |
 the city hall. He twice won prize , offered by a local newspaper for ! trip around the world, completing tn , journey in 40 days. Eleven years az he was made secretary to Mayor liar rison and when Mayor Thompson wa
 elected he retained Fitzmorris 5 FitZmorris refused to discuss hi plans today, saying he had not ha . time to go over them thoroughly. H T first order was to instruct the polio . force not to send him any floral offei l ings. It always has been the custol l for the force to send an incoming chi d a floral offering.

TURKS SAY ARMENIAN
 FRIENDSHIP REASON
 FUR HOLD|NC COOMBG

NEW YORK. Nov. 10-The friendly attitude of the United States toward Armenia and absence of diplomatic re- lations with Turkey are given as req sons for the Turkish nationalists' &C., tion in holding Col J. P. Coombs, di- rector of the American commission for relief in the Near East, at Samsoun, according to a message from Colonel Coombs to the organizations repre- sentative in Constantinople, received by cable tonight.
 Previous dispatches from Constan- tinople reported that the nationalists had refused Colonel Coombs permis- | sion to enter the interior on tour of | inspection or to allow him to return | to Constantinople. His message, ap- parently quoting the nationalists, said | that permission was refused on three grounds, first because diplomatic re- | lations between the Turks and the United States were not yet in force and because the United States belongs to "a political party desiring to force the Turkish people eo accept the "odi- ous Sevres treaty"
 The second reason was that in Ori | ental questions America is "always or the side of Armenia, worst enemy o
 the Turks. and has sustained Armenian
 morale materially without taking int consideration Turkish claims"
 The third reason is that an "actua state of war exists between Turkey ant
 Armenia which obliges us to proven
 vour journeying into the interior"
 The Turkish explanation closes wit
 the statement that "all present trave
 by Americans in or out of nationals
 territories is prohibited except by spe cial instructions from Angora-"

 Senator Calder, chairman of the com mittee, told several witnesses that he thought a quick revision of the federal tax laws back to a pre-war basis would help, declaring that heavy taxes made investors shun real estate.

LDRIAT|C PACT |S.
 ACCEPTED SAYS LONDON TIMES; TERMS STATED
Plume To Be Independent Under Terms of Agree ment, Reports Declare; Jugo-Slavs Benefit
A. P. Leased Wire)


 LONDON, Nov 10.-A dispatch to the London Times from Santa Mar guerita says the Adriatic question has been settled According to these ad- vices, the principal points in the set tlement are:
 First, the Istrian frontier practically decided in favor of the Jugo- Slays.
 Second, Plume to be independent, with territorial contiguity to Italy.
 Third, Zara under Italian suzerainty.
 Fourth, the islands Cherzo, Lussin and Unie granted to Italy.
 Premier Giolltti will sign the agree ment tomorrow on behalf of Italy.
 With reference to the Istrian from tier, on which the Italian-Ju Slav negotiations hinged, both parties, says the Times, accepted the line of the treaty of London with certain rectifi- cations.
 The Italian concessions, while leav- ing Monte Nevos to Italy, robbed the agreement of any offensive character for Jugo- Slayia. The territorial con- cord will be accompanied by a com mercial and probably political agree ment. Accor ling to the dispatch, the decision of the Jugo-Slav delegation was conveyed to the Italians by M Trumbitch, Jugo- -Slav foreign minister

 Points not yet accepted include ac- acknowledgement of the Italianity of the island of Cherso, Italian sovereignty ovef Zara, wiih sufficient hinterland and the annexation of several of the Dalmatian islands to Italy, particu- larly Lussin. Lissa and Lagosta.
