the Boston park lighting scheme Most
of them seemed to think it was not
the only Boston idea that would not go
here at all, The average person rides
in busses to see and not to be seen, it
was declared. Sometimes, if one we're
| supposed to be somewhere else, at
home, for instance, it would be awk-
ward to be seen in flood-lighted fifth
Avenue bus.
So far from falling in with the i'm
ported suggestion, it was even hinted
yesterday that the company might send

Wee bus rides might even be given
the victims of such ultra modern New
England persecution.
'Spooning Is about the only small
town institution New York has Left
said Mr.. Rltchie, who has come to the
defense of the spooners on previous
occasions, "and it should be hung onto.
We have adopted policy of strict nom
interference in spooning matters.
Other Problems
We have other prob ems, even more
soul stirring, to bother us. For in
stance, one of our conductors has taken
advantage of letter-writing contest
on 'Politeness' to slip in request for
a chaplain for the bus system. sup
pose he doesn't mean to have the duties
of the chaplain confined to work among
the company's employees. Perhaps It
would be considered part of chap
lain's job to select certain bus loads
that looked as if they needed sermoniz-
ing. That is little matter which we
will have to look into
''And then we have been requested
to install revolving wheels like squir-
rel cages at street corners to enable
people to reach the bus tops. The in
ventors who were devising things to
win the war in week now seem to
have turned their attention to US. We're
open to all suggestions, but there must
be a majority vote of the public be-
fore anything is approved. And in
some way when anything like this
f1ood-lighting proposition comes up af-
fecting the spooners we get about the
quickest of negative reactions imagin-
able"

Snow Shovelers' Pay Is Gut
Many Emergency Workers Laid
OF: Others Gel Snc. an Hour

The emergency gangs of snow show
elers employed by the Street Cleaning
Department will be reduced to a min
imum by Saturday, according to Com
missioner John P. Leo, Large numbers
of men have already been laid off, and
others will follow each day. Yester-
day the entire transit systems in and
about the city were restored to full
normal schedules.
Beginning to-day those emergency
workers who are continued at work
will have their pay cut from 65 cents
an hour to 90 cents. This announce
ment caused considerable stir among
the men and threatened trouble. at
first. The labor market, however, ia
glutted, and as the contractors men
have only been paid at 80 cents an hour
Commissioner Leo decided to put the
remuneration of the emergency men at
the same figure

impetuous husband jumped to his feet

touched his sleeve. That was enough
He deferred to her judgment In quiet
but decisive fashion Mrs. Maley is hav-
ing her own way in the handling of the
defense.
Her client, Gleason, twenty-seven
years old, made a cool and effective
witness in his own defense. The sharp
attack of the prosecution failed TO
pierce his armor. He described his oc-
cupation as that of longshoreman and
railroad worker. In matter of fact
fashion he recounted what happened on
the night of the murder. He told of
falling in with Cy Oberson, who is
charged with having shot Ritter, and
with several other companions They
got drunk, he said, and one of their
number, George Duncan, was arrested.
In an effort to have him released they
camo in contact with Ritter.
"Ritter told Oberson to go horne or
he would be locked up" Gleason testi-
fed. "He said the same TO me, and |
said, You can't lock me up Then he
pulled handouts out of his pocket and
struck me over the head He must have
struck me about six times before | fell
to the ground. | heard nothing after
that until Oberson reused me with the
words: 4 think l got Doc. Let's get
out of here"
Gleason denied having fired any
shots or hearing shooting at all, as he
asserted he was lying unconscious
when the actual murder took place Dr.
J. A. Lynn, of the Medical Corps of the
United States Navy, corroborated the
testimony Of the defendant lie said he
had put two stitches in Gleason's head.
Sheriff George Kinzley, another of the
witnesses, said the defendant was still
dazed when the Sheriff talked to him
hours after the murder. He also said
Gleason's shirt was spattered with
blood.
Mrs. Maley will sun up for the de-
fense. 1t is expected that she will
make a strong emotional appeal. A

VAS st. Peters cathedral and a mark
sd rivalry existed between l. and 81

rade from the funds of St. Peters
Church TO make up the deficit which
existed in the parish OF St. Paui's and
those opposed to the procedure made
much OF the slogan Why rob st.
Feter to pay st. Paul2"
Some two hundred years later. on
the occasion of the death of William
Fit, this sentiment again came 10
the fore. for the two cemeteries were
rivals for the honor of the burial place

eipality of London claimed that the
body OF Pitt should be inferred along
SIDE those of the Kings of England
and that TO bury him elsewhere would
once more be ..robbing st. Peter TO

won the controversy. but the phrase
remained in the language. though it

A woman must be a nlush OF sympa-

must think that every murderess

she is woman. She must hold out

20 listen once more 10 how hard women

As long as women keep within the
bounds of rsspectability and lead up
right lives. they never have cause TO
complain OF the aptitude of other
women towards them. There isn't an
honest poor woman in the world who
isn't helped daily by other women.

women. Always women help women
