Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee leased Wire:
New York, Aug. IA. Rapid
transit fines 400 feet beneath the
surface Of the city, and with trains
running straight as the bee flies to
all points, at speed Of 60 miles
an hour are suggested by Reginald
Pelham Bolton, consulting engi-
neer, who is developing his plan to
submit to the transit commission.
The present subways, he explained,
with their curves and irregularities,
could be used as thoroughfares for
vehicles and pedestrians, and he
pointed out that they would splen-
didly serve these purposes for; they
would be cool in summer and shell
tered in winter. ... 49,.
Mr.. Bolton plans elevators to
carry passengers and from the deep
levels at the rate Of 700 feet a min
ute. Subways 400 feet deep would
be able to travel straight in any di-
rection because there would be no
obstacles to overcome.

Thieves He Catches
Stealing His Auto

Arthur Montgomery, guest at the
home OF J. w. Kelly, ZOE Perrin
avenue, saved his automobile from
being stolen early Saturday morn
ing and is quite confident he planted
a bullet in the shoulder OF one OF
the thieves.
The Kelly car occupied the garage
and Montgomery had left his vehicle
in the driveway, protected by a
locked steering wheel. At 3 a. M.
he was awakened by a noise and,
looking out OF the window. saw his
car in the middle OF the street with
two men trying to break the lock.
He had an automatic pistol in his
hand and opened fire. He saw one
OF the men clap his hand upon his
shoulder and stagger away, follow
ing the other, who was running. The
thieves had "jimmicd" the steering
apparatus so badly that it took all
hour to get the car out of the street.
Thieves broke into the harness

West Broadway, Friday night and
found SIS in the cash drawer. Moth
ing else was taken. They got into
the store by breaking a rear win

Aldermen File
Suit to Reduce
Expenditures
Action Started to Prevent
Spending $5,25O,OOO in Chi
cago Without Order From
City Council.

Chicago Tribune Omaha bee Leased Wire.
Chicago. Aug. l4.-Suit was filed
in the circuit court today by three
aldermen to thwart on alleged at
tempt on the part of city officials
to spend more than $5,250,000 in
1921 without the specific order of
the city council.
A large part of the huge sum will
be handed over to traction, building
and real experts unless the court
acts to prevent it, declares the petit
ton. which was filed by Aldermen
Schwartz, Guernsey and Woodruff,
the aldermanic committee 'investi-
eating the expert fee scandal.
Here is what the petition says
about the defendants-City Con-
troller Harding, City Treasurer
Smith and the municipal corporation
itself:
"The defendants have. at times
past, illegally. wrongfully and
fraudulently disbursed moneys be-
longing to the city Of Chicago from
appropriations similar to those con-
tanned in the 1921 appropriations
ordinance, as hcreinabove listed, and
that.
without regard to the legality OF
payments, it is their intention to con-
tinue the prosecution Of their nefari-
Gus scheme to mulct the revenues
Of the city Of Chicago and of the
taxpayers thereof of enormous
sums of money illegally and with
out warrant of law;
"That their actions in so doing
are pursuant to a wicked conspiracy
entered into between themselves and
other officials Of the city of Chi
cago to deliver the revenues of the
city illegally and fraudulently;
THAT in the prosecution Of said
conspiracy. said defendants have
been aided and abetted and are now
being aided and abetted by the cor
poration counsel and other admin
istrative officials of the city Of

Canada's Remarkable Growth

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. l4.-Banks in
Canada at the confederation OF the

leased by the government showing
the development Of the dominion,

Canada's railroad mileage was

vator was in Canada in 1867, while

Rail Labor Board
ToAnnounce New
Rules This Week
Motion of Union Representa-
tives to Extend Old Working
Agreements Refused-Fur.
ther Hearings Denied.

Chiesro Tribune .Omaha Zee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE first OF
new rules governing working con-
ditions OF railways OF the country
to replace the national agreements
established during federal control
will be laid down by the United
States railroad labor board early
this week, it was announced today.
Jus, before making this announce
n1ent, the board rendered decision
defeating an effort Of union repre-
sentatives to extend the period dur
ing which the national agreements
are to remain in force. This decision
denied all applications for further
hearings on separate disputes lnvolv-
ing working rules.
The substitute rules now to be
prescribed by the labor board will
apply on such roads as have not
reached agreements with their en-
ployes. Reports indicate few if any,
roads have been able to get to-
gether" with their employees on
complete new working code.
Following public hearings extend
ing over many weeks last winter
and at which both sides introduced
voluminous testimony, the railroad
labor board. on April "a, decided
that the national agreement against
which the railroad executives had
protested should terminate July l.,
1922.
The same decision directed rail Of
f.cials and employees representatives
to meet in conference at which sub
stitute rules might be agreed upon.
When, on July q, few agreements
had been reported, and the board had
been unable to prescribe new rules,
the labor board indefinitely ex-
tended operation Of the national
agreements. .... ....
The employees representatives were
heard this week in protest against
the proposal to establish the piece
work system in railway shops. A
decision will be rendered later.
