U. S. Railroads Seek Injunction
Against Charges for Cross

Andrew w. Mellon. Secretary OF the
Treasury, was cited today by an order
signed by Justice Hitz. OF the Dis
trict supreme Court, to show cause
May 26 why he should not be enjoined
from applying the provisions of the
water carriers law of February 13,
1911. to railroads crossing into Can
ada and from assessing the railroads
with the cost OF baggage inspection.
The order of the court is based on
a suit for Injunction filed by the Min

Railway Company, which claims II
has been illegally assessed for extra
compensation to customs inspectors
and has been threatened with refusal
to allow its trains to cross the Cana

c. A. R. WOMEN WILL
CARE FOR VETERANS
Memorial Day Lunches to Be
Provided for 5000 at Ar.
Iington Cemetery.

As Memorial Day approaches the
patriotic organizations of women
allied to the Grand Army of the
Republic are very busily engaged
in preparing for this national Sab
bath Of patriotism.
The Department OF the Potomac.
Womans Relief Corps, Mrs. Ursula
Shirley. president. being the aux
Hilary of the Grand Army of the
Republic of this department. is ex-
pected to assume the burden of pre-
pairing lunches at Arlington for
about 5000 veterans and for the
members OF the other organizations.
The Woman's Relief Corps has had
charge of this at Arlington for
some thirty-five years and every
year the list OF those to be supplied
with luncheon has grown longer.
First II was the Grand Army of the
Republic. To the veterans OF the
Civil war were added those of the
Spa Mi sh- American war and now the
World war veterans are taken care
OF also. IL IL were not a work OF
pleasure II would be work OF
necessity for nething in the shape
OF food can be sold in Arlington
and the luncheons given to the vet
Grams of the three wars are a loving
gift from the women.
For several years now the ladies
of the G. A. r., Daughters OF Vet
Grams, and the members of the
Auxiliary OF the Sons OF Veterans
have Joined with the Department
OF the Potomac Woman's Relief
Corps in furnishing these lunches.
Last year the members OF the Amer
ican Woman's Legion, Mrs. Wads-
worth, wife OF the Senator from
New York. president, and two or
three other organizations Joined
forces with the Womans Relief
Corps and they are all busy as bees
on the day before the ceremonies
at Arlington in preparing their
joint luncheon at Grand Army Hall.
The department president, Mrs. Shir-
ley, supervises.
The Department of the Potomac
last year showed a gain in MEM
bership of $50 and the recruiting of
this year will indicate that there
will be quite as large a gain as in
1921. The uninitiated would never

tudinous duties of these patriotic
organizations OF women in their
efforts to ameliorate the condition
of the veterans and in the thirty
seven years since il has been or
ganized the relief corps alone has

work.

WIFE, BABIES

Little Family, PenniIess; Soldier.
Husband Sick; Red Tape
Blocks Compensation.

Where do we 90 from here:'
the merry refrain of the famous
war song, applies with tragic real
ism to Mrs. May Dilliplane and her
two little babies, left penniless by
the illness OF their father. an ex-
service man.
No MONEY FOR RENT.
In a little bare room at Sl7 Thir-
teenth street northwest, the wife OF
the ex-service man. has been living
for two weeks on the bounty of the
Red Cross. Today she has packed up
all her belongings, her rent is due and
she has no money to pay for another
two weeks. She does not know where
she is going.
Lloyd Dilliplane. formerly OF Com
pany c. 103d Engineers, lies i'll at
the Fort McHenry Hospital. where he
has been confined for three weeks
with tuberculosis and a mental dis
ease, contracted during service at
Camp Hancock, Ca, according to his
wife.
He received his discharge two
years ago. During all this time he
has not received penny OF compen-
sation from the War Risk Insurance,
his wife declares. The little family
has been living on the charity OF
neighbors. her husband being unable
to work.
It's just another one of those cases
-. Government red tape. which in
his case has Kept family In destitute
for two years.
Diiliplane wrote the Bureau of War
RNk Insurance to apply for his COM
pensation two years ago his wife says,
and since wrote regularly. Yet he
had received no reply up to three
weeks ago.
HERE TO GET CONFIRMATION.
So the little mother with her two
children, one three years and the 9TH
er sixteen months, appealed to neigh
bors In their home town, Danville, Pa,
who had been assisting them this
long time. for money to come to Wash
inEton to fird out why.
Three weeks ago they arrived at
the Union Station with a SO biIlNtheir
trunk and that's all. They stopped 1t
the Senate Hotel for a week. Their
funds gave out, and they were obliged
to appeal TO the Red Cross. which
placed the wife in her present ABIDE
and got the husband, through the War
Risk. into the hospital asain.
Now the funds the Red Cross sup
are up at s17 Thirteenth street north
west. The Red Cross says they can
do no more for her in Washington and
advised her TO go back to Pennsyl-
vania- In the meanwhile her hus-
bands compensation papers are being
Investigated. she was told.
But j can't go back to Pennsyl-
vania." said Mrs. Diiliplane helpless
ly. Il have no money. And when
get home l will be no better of
than when | came TO Washington.
And they told me at the War Risk
that II would take from six weeks to
a month to get my husbands compen-
sation through.
where shall ]. go? what shall
do" she asked helplessfy.
She Is in delicate health She has
no relatives except an old father
and mother. who are supported by

KUTz BLOCKS
CAR MERGER
Splits With Oyster in Committee
Conferences voluntary"
Union Seems Unlikely.

There will be no voluntary merger
OF the street railway companies Of
the District of Columbia. This is
the information gained from MEM
bers OF the committee who have been
comforting at the District building
for several weeks. The commit ?
Is made up OF Commissioners Oyster
and Kutz,. Messrs. Ham and Allies,
OF the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, and Messrs.
Hamilton and Hanna, of the Capital
Traction Company.
KUTZ STANDS ALONE.
Ono Of the obstacles in the way of
. merger Is said TO be the stand taken
by Commissioner Kutz that he will
not hear to q merger of the Potomac
Electric Power Company and the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company until after a street car
merger. In this stand Kutz Is alone.
Commissioner Oyster is agreeable to
a merger of the two utilities before a
union OF the street car companies.
The four street railway officers on
the committee are agreed, but they
SAHHot SWING the coihihisoioHofs "
their pan.
ANOTHER OBSTACLE ARISES.
Another "ny In the ointment" is
said to be the attitude of Commits
sioner Oyster. The conference agreed
to maintain secrecy until they were
ready to announce a decision. Com
missioner kutz was designated as the
spokesman, IL anything was to be
given out to the newspapers. De-
spite this agreement. 1t is said, Com
missioner Oyster has given out state
ments on what he proposes, to do. and
on Saturday issued the information
that IL the conferees did not agree by
Tuesday. he would ask the Public
Utilities Commission, of which he 10
. member, to reduce the street car
fare to seven cents. or four tokens
for quarter, and raise the electric
light rates to 10 cents from it's pres
ent price Of 81 cents.
1t is understood the officials of the
companies have taken Oysters state
ment as a threat and refused to be
threatened.
There are so many conflicting in
terests to be cared for in the merger
OF the street railway companies that
those who have made a study OF the
street car situation in Washington
have maintained from the start that
there would be no voluntary merger
as long as Colonel Kutz held the ideas
that he has voiced at recent public
hearings on the question.
