Court Fight on Car Bill
AsCaits Naming Of Board

Steps to carry Mayor Hylan's fight
on Governor Miller's traction plans
into the courts probably will not be
taken until after the Governor ap-
points commission under the pro-
visions of the Knight-Adlcr bill, Cor
poration Counsel O'Brien indicated
yesterday.
Mr.. O'Brien, with the cooperation of
Senator Hiram w. Johnson, of Cali
Esrnia, special counsel for the city,
tlsEu will start suit with view Of
contessing the constitutionality Of the
measure. The suit may be preceded
by an application for some kind of an
injunction designed to prevent the
commission from enforcing any of its
decisions, ON the ground that an arbi-
trary increase in fares would violate
contracts now existing between the
city and the traction companies.
Mr.. Johnson, commenting yesterday
on the action Of the Senate in passing
the bill and Of the Assembly in moving
the measure forward for prompt con-
slssegation, declared that there is mol

difference between the Lenine and
Trotzky idea of government and
that which emanates from Albany"
Mr.. johnson issued statement in
which he said:
"The gentlemen at Albany, in their
zeal to serve their corporate masters,
have, think, made some egregious
blunders in the drastic provisions of
their bill which will enable the city, in
regular court proceedings, to demon
strate the illegality and unconstitu-
tionality of the measure.
Glow very amusing it was to read
Governor Miller's remarks concern
home rule and local self-government.
Over in Russia to-day there are q
couple of men who talk a great deal
about the rule of the people and then,
with an iron hand, rule as they please,
Governor Miller speaks of local self
government he means local self-gov-
ernment by himself, without regard to
the people of the Citv of New York.
"There is no difference between the
Lenine and Trotzky idea of self-gov-
ernment and that which emanates to-
day from Albany. Both kinds believe
in home rule and local self-govern-
ment, but home rule and local self
administered. Dy CnGm-
selves, not by the people affected.
| What mockery it is of the principle
| for man to sit in Albany and say:
4 believe in home rule and local self
government for New York City, but !
don't like the kind they have there,
and SO I'll administer my kind of
home rule and local government
and destroy entirely theirs"
The Central Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil of greater New York and vicinity,
representing 100000 union employees.
yesterday forwarded to Governor Mil
Ter copies of a resolution protesting
against an increased fare on New York
City's transit lines.
The resolution adopted by the coun-
Gil describes transit business Of the
city as Undoubtedly the most profit
| able in the world and should, there
fore, give the best service for five
cent fare"
In the resolution the council de-
manded that call attempts by the
Legislature to permit increased fares
! shall be defeated and that the transit
privileges and conditions be restored
to what they we're prior to 1913"
Copies of the resolution also were
sent to members of the Senate and
Assembly and the State Federation
of Labor.

Only Chemical Blondes Tickle;
As for Brunettes-- Wntch 'em!
Confessed Experts in Feminine Beauty Defend Light
Type From Bronx Judges Aspersion, and Say

The decision Of Municipal Court
Justice Morris in the Bronx that
blonde women ere too tickle for jury
duty brought forth buzz OF comment
yesterday that was by no means con-
fined to the borough where the de-
cision emanated. In some instances,
especially in the theatrical profession,
toward which the blondes seem to turn
as the sparks terd to fly upward, the
buzzing closely .rescmbled the hoarse
laughter of derision.
In the Offices along Broadway, where
both blondes and brunettes are signed
up for every kind of theatrical work,
it was pointed out that in no case
does a manger keep special, Iron
clad contract for the blonde sister
hood to sign. Nor are blondes any
more difficult to- keep to contracts, it
was pointed. out, than are brunettes
though heaven knows it is difficult
enough to make all shades listen to
reason nowadays!
In one Office it was intimated that
the justice who created the blond exclu-
the artificial type in mindin which
event the ratification of theaterdom
would be his without reservations.
Edwards Speaks from Experience
Ben Edwards, speaking for brother
Gus, producer of musical comedies, re-
vues and vaudeville acts, said:
1--WE have had much success with
blond types. Blondes like Lillian
Walker, Olga Cook and Ruby Norton
have come to us as beginners and have
gained eminence in their profession
because they have proved sincere and
loyal in their work. There are just
ss manv fickle ones amonc tho hrn
nettes as among the blondes, but it
should be put down that the artificial
blonde is an exception to the rule Of
sincerity in her class. Whenever q
girl with artifcially colored hair comes
to us for a position, she is set down
as lacking sincerity and generally
that estimate is found to be right"

Flo ziegfeid jr. is fisning in Florida.
but Edward Royce, director of tho
ziegfeld Midnight Frolic on the New
Amsterdam Roof, who has had ample
opportunity to contrast the character
equipment Of the most pronounced
types of women. says there is no dis
tinction to be made. The real blond
and brunette beauties are equally de-
pendable, he says, just as they are
equally attractive.
Scientific circles are agitated oc-
casionally by the same question which
led to the all-brunette jury-picking in
the Bronx. Only month or two ago
DR.. Augustin, president of the Ameri-
can Optometric Association, backing
his statements with all sorts Of exact
data regarding pigme and ultra
violet rays, went on record in favor
Of condemning the blondes to live at
Moose Factory or some other isolated
place. AS counterbalance, however, it
is pointed out that the explorer.
Stefansson, praised the gentlcness
and honesty of the blond Ehkimos he
discovered, not merely because they
nave grown up apart from the evil
communications of civilization, but
because they are blondes.
All Gone by 10000, A. D., Maybe
All discussions over blondes seem
futile. however, in view of the report,
made last August, that the type is dis
appearing. AS the universe goes, it
cannot. be more than few thousand
years before any court clerk may go
forth blindfolded and pick out jury
OF dark women in the Bronx or any
where else, because there will not be
a blonde to awaken the questioning
glance of Judge.
The few blondes that are left seemed
70 be viewing life calmly enough yes
from the bench, In fact, it was hinted
that q straw-colored vote would indi-
cate that, If anybody had thought to
ask them, they would have intimated
that they didn't care anything about
jury duty anyway.

Garrison Gets Permission to
Resume Abandoned Car Line

Public Service Commissioner Barrett
issued an order yesterday permitting
Lind'ey M. Garrison, receiver of the
Brooklyn, Queens County & Suburban
Railroad. to resume operation of the
Metropolitan Avenue surface line to
Jamaica Avenue, with an additional
iive-cent fare zone between Jamaica
Avenue and the Metropolitan Avenue
station of the Myrtle Avenue elevated
railroad.
The line is operating now between
Flushing Avenue and Dry Harbor Road
with a five-cent fare. Operation ceased
with the strike of last summer and
when the commission ordered that ii
resume from Delaney Street to Jamaica
the Federal Court instructed the re-
ceiver to disregard it, and finally the
order was halted by an injunction
against the commission.

exclaimed Old Man Coyote

"Of course you do. OF course you
do" agreed Old Man Coyote "It really
is wonderful place If it were not
for two or three trifling things it
would be quite perfect"
"What do you mean by trifing
things?" demanded Mrs. Bear, sitting
up and looking very hard at Old Man
Coyote.
"oh nothing serious, nothing serious,
Mrs. Bear" replied Old Man Coyote.
Nothing to be alarmed about. was
just thinking how much nicer it would
be if hunters with terrible guns never
came here, and what nuisance dog
can be when he gets on ones trail. Blu.
Just the same, am very fond of the
Green Forest. don't suppose there
is any place in all the Great World
that is quite perfect. Now, | must be
on my way. hope I'll see you often
Mrs. Bear, and that you'll find this
quite as pleasant place as you ex-
pected,"
With this Old Man Coyote made her
a polite bow and trotted off. Once out
OF Mrs. Bears sight he grinned. "I
reckon those hints about the hunters
and the dog will spoil her appetite" he
muttered. "She probably won't think
OF much else for while. Now, if
Redd Fox will do his part and lead
Bowser the Hound over here. and
Farmer Browns boy will just come
poking about so that she can see him
or smell him, guess we will soon be

Just try little hint or taVo.
old Man Coyote.
Old Man Coyote is one of those crafty
people who rarely say things right out.
He prefers to hint at things and let
others guess at just what he means.
Then if they guess wrong they cannot
say that he told them wrong. There
are many people like Old Man Coyote
in the Great World and they do a great
deal of mischief and get great many
others into trouble without getting into
trouble themselves.
Now, Old Man Coyote was not at all
pleased with the idea of another Bear
in the Green Forest Buster Bear was
quite enough to Old Man Coyotes way
been glad enough to have had the
Green Forest rid of Ruster Buster
had caught many a mouse that Old Man
Coyote had intended for himself. Now,
to have another Bear, Mrs. Buster, in
the Green Forest was most disturbing.
But you would never have guessed
this could you have seen him and heard
him the first time he met Mrs Bear.
1t was near the place where Peter Rab-
bit had seen Mrs. Bear digging roots.
He came trotting along through the
Green Forest quite as if the last
thought in his shrewd head was that
any one else was about. When he saw
Mrs. Bear he stopped short and sat
down with such look of surprise on
his sharp face that you never would
have guessed that he had been follow
ing Mrs. Bears scent with his keen
nose; in fact, had been looking for her.
"Well, we'll, we'll, what surprised"
exclaimed Old Man Coyote, grinning
in way that was intended to be pleas
ant. Welcome to the Green Forest.
Mrs. Bear! Have you come for a visit
or do you intend to stay"
MRS. Bear stopped digging long
enough to look at Old Man Coyote, and
in her small eyes--for her size her
ercs were small--was CLEAN of sus-
picion which might have made Old
Man Coyote uneasy had he seen it. 81
rather think | will stay" said she in a
deep, grumbly, rumbly voice. which
she tried to make sound pleasant. "This
seems to be quite the incest place
have ever found. I've about decided to
make my home here"
Splendid" exclaimed Old Man Coy
ote, trying to make his voice sound
hearty and as if he were delighted.
Splendid! Permit me to welcome you
to the Green Forest. We shall all feel
very proud to have you for a neighbor,
and / am sure you will like the Green
Forest"
81 like it 4aw," grunted Mrs. Boar.
