WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. "a
city of respectable size in the Middle
West has made the experiment OF
irving to transport itself to and from
work and in pursuit of pleasure Win
out the aid of street cars. Inc
outcome of the experiment, while not
actually disastrous, has been far from
pleasant for the people of Des MONIES
Iowa, where this occurred.
After long struggles to make Dotn
ends meet, the street cars were run
into the barns when the company
failed to make money at the fare IL
was allowed to charge. Then, from
August until August 26, the city de-
pended for transportation upon ous
lines, privately owned automobiles, nay
wagons, trucks, and practically every
thing else in the line of conveyances
down to roller skates. On August 70
the state fair began, and the fair COM
mittee arranged for the operation OF
the street cars during the time OF the
fair, guaranteeing to meet any denclt'
1t is estimated that of the city
population of about $4,000 people
105 900 regularly used the street cars:
The first day the city found ltseii
without street cars, there were about
so buses on hand to try to handle this
press of people. Crowds were swarm
ing on every corner, trampling on eacn
! others feet. kicking and jostling, at
tempting to force an entrance into
vehicles already crowded to full ca
pacity. The temper of Des MONIES was
drawn to a fine edge before the morn
ing was we'll under way.
| Retail merchants Immediately no
ticed the change. People having dlHl
Guilty in getting down to the shops cu'
down the volume of business right
away. The thousand men thrown out
of work when the street cars shui
down cut off part of the purchasing
public almost entirely for the time
being.
i The bus lines were reinforced BY
owners of private automobiles. Tit
newspapers of Des Moines fostered ;
community spirit, distributing pla
cards bearing large letters in black
reading HOP IN. These were TO
automobile windshields,. and were use'
generally Runabouts built for twt
people would haul eight downtown OIL

covered with people cunglnS 10 Tn
running boards and swarming all owe
the machines.
One curious fact was noticed abou
the crowds after few days. People
noticing that when busses reaches
their corners they were usuall
jammed to the window frames, took t
walking eight or ten blocks up tn
street in the direction opposite to tina
taken by the buses. In this way
was sometimes possible to get to
point so near where the bus starte

but almost invariably he preferred t

and get a ride on a crowded and ur
comfortable conveyance.

For Perjury in His
Income Tax Return
Plaintiff in lO-Million Suit
Against Tammany Chief
Charged With Trying
to Defraud Government

sugar. who was one of the complaint
ants IN recent suit brought in the
Supreme Court to recover $4,000, 900
damages from Charles f. Murphy. the
Tammany leader. and the Corn Prod
ucts Refining Company, was indicted
Yesterday by the Federal Grand Jury
for perjury and attempt to defraud
the government Of taxes by filing a
false income return for the year 1918.
The indictment contains two counts
The first charges that Hartog, in his
return, swore that his business tran
sactions during 1918 amounted to S767.-
073.2l. while it is alleged that the
actual business done by him for that
year was more than a million dollars.
The second count charges that he mis-
represented his net income for the
year.
David Y. Cahill. Assistant United
States District Attorney, who presented
the case to the grand jury, said that
the information regarding the alleged

was discovered through reGxamina-
tion of his returns.

leges. Eartog reported his net income
for 1918 as S25,56847 and paid tax
of s3,s5o.75. The government charges
that the tax was greatly below the
amount he should have paid.

scribed and stated material matters
which he then did not believe to be
true

Division, They Suggest

The judges Of the Court of Gcnera,

Governor Miller requesting him IN ,,o+o
one OF the three Mullan-G Gage dry bills
"h'ch recently passed the Legislature
providing that violations of the sta+o
prohibition laws be tried in General

The telegram, signed by seven
Judges, says at is utterly impract,-
cable to have the cases tried in Ccn.
cral Sessions before jurors. Owing to
the amount of work now in this court
speedy trials Of liquor law violation
cases would be impossible"
The Judges suggest that the bin bc
amended to provide for the trial of
'hcse cases in the Court of Special
Sessions.
City Cases Exempted
Inc Judges telegram, drawn up at
special meeting yesterday morning
presided over by Judge Morris koonip.
points out that under thc old excise
"a" dlstlnctlon was made between
ordinary violations committed in New
York City and upstate regions. Tho
latter only were subject to grand iurv
inquiry.
Judge koenig. in discussing the bill
a Ter the conference. said that if it
becomes law it would entail an addi,
tionh expense of S25O,000 wear in
New York City, exclusive Of the cost
OF additional cOurtroomS He thourh+
SIX extra courtrooms and as MANY ex

Judge kocnig pointed out that a tYia]

ting in Special Sessions disposc of
I rom forty to seventy cases dailv. Also
cases disposed of in General Sessions
require previous action by grand juries.
Could Call in Help
Judge Koenig explained that should
special Sessions be hampered by extra
work thrown upon it, there is a way
whereby the Mayor can appoint addi-
tlonal justices temporarily
A substitute measure for the bill
will be drawn up by Assistant Dis
trict Attorneys Robert S. Johnstonc. of

son, Of Kings. 1t will be taken to AL

Less Beer in GERMANY.
More Wine in Dry r. S,

" WASHINGTON, April Beer drink
ing in Germany has fallen off by more
than 750,000,000 gallons a year as COM
pared with pre-war consumption, Con-
sui General William Coffin at Berlin
reported to-day to the Department of
Commerce. The consumption dronned
from l,272,000,00O gallons in 1918 to
54l,000,0o0 in 1920, while wine con-
sumption decreased from 100000 to
52,oOo000. Mr.. Coffin added, however,
that the population Of Germany had
decreased by 100000 in the same
period.
Cigarette consumption increased by
3,00O,0 100000 between 1918 and 1920.
Mr.. Coffin continued. but the use of
cigars fell off by 1000 100000.
Another interesting comparison was
furnished in consular report received
to-day from France. Imports of cham
pagne from Paris into the United
States have made the phenomenal
jump of from $l,15S worth in 1919 to
$3S4,39l in 1920. Officials of the de-
partment are scratching their. heads

against slander and libel were to be
enforced half as we'll as other less seri-
Gus laws, Mr.. Anderson would spend
the rest OF his life in jail wherever his
utterances have been published"
Incidentally, Magistrate McGeehar
took fing al prohibition and dry laws

done more to break down respect for

President went'over all Of the matte RS
we wanted to talk with him about. He
expressed qualification over the acces-
sion of Governor Hughes, Colonel
Wainwright and Colonel Roosevelt as
members of bis Administration We
came away with the conviction that
New York Republicans are to be treat
cd very generously in all matters
affecting organization interests
WAS the possible appointment of
Colonel Harvey as Ambassador to
Great Britain discussed ?"
"No," said Mr.. Glynn. Colonel Har-
vcy is resident of the State of New
Jersey. We did not discuss the ap-
pointment of any one to be ambas-
sador."
1t was learned that the New York
Republican county organization will be
allowed to indicate appointees for
strictly New York County places, like
Commissioner of immigration, Internal
Revenue Collector, United States Dis
trict Attorney and United States
Marshal.
The leaders say that this means that
County President Koenig will select
one OF his district leaders for United
States District Attorney to succeed
Francis G. Caffey and that Robert w.
Bonynge, former president of the Ma
tional Republican Club, will not obtain
the coveted place.
The local politicians say that this
narrows the race for this Office to Will
