HAM EXPLAINS
SCHEDULE CUT
w. R. and E. Head Says P. U.
C. Ruling Forces Curtail-
ment on Md. Lines.

The Washington Railway and
Electric Company has been forced TO
curtail service on its Maryland lines
because the Public Utilities Com
mission of the District has ruled that
these lines must operate separate
from the lines in the District.
EFFORTS ARE FTUITLEss.
This was the explanation today Of
William +. Ham. president of the
company, when asked the reasons for
the cut down in service on the lines
running TO Berwyn and Laurel, Md.
President Ham has made repeated
efforts to have the Utilities Commits
sion, in considering street car rate
cases. consider the financial condi'
ton or the Maryland lines. but these
efforts have been fruitiess.
1.-THE commission having ruled that
so far as they are concerned the
Maryland lines must stand upon their
own bottoms" said M Ham. ut be-
comes necessary for us TO effect such
operating economies on these lines
as are possible and still provide rea.
sonably good service"
This statement is taken to indicate
that II the local commission had
granted the company's petition for
straight eight-cent fare, there would
have been no further curtailment OF
service on the Maryland lines.
The statement says further that TIL.
reduced schedule in effect on the
Maryland lines provides more service.
in fact. than the traffic warrants.
NO CUT IN RUSH HOUR.
This new schedule provides
slight increase in service to Mount
Rainier and practically the same
service to Riverdale," Mr., Ham says.
The number of round trips per day
to Berwyn was reduced from fifty
two to forty-three, and the number
of round trips per day to Laurel was
reduced from nineteen to fifteen.
These reductions were made in the
non-rush periods, when the traffic is
extremely light. Substantially no re-
duction was made in rush-hour serv-
ice to any point"
The new schedule became effective
last Tuesday.
Fearing that the W. r. e. E. plans
to abandon the entire road from
Riverdale to Berwyn, the Berwyn
Weights. Citizens Association is pre-
pairing for a stiff fight at the first in
timation of such a move.
At the meetings of other citizens
associations on the Maryland lines of
the company, held this week. vigorous
protests against the changed sched-
ule have been made. Several asso-
Citations will petition the Maryland
Public Service Commission to order
the w. r. & T.. to restore Its original
schedule on these lines.

soul rising out OF my body. ! had
accomplished a soul release
HOW III IL DONE.
And now to tell how to accompl sh
soul release. First conhne your
self In quiet room. Select a straight
back chair. Sit in an upright posi-
ton with the feet flat on the flo r.
Place the hands on the lap with
palms upwards. Let your mind be
absolutely blank. Give yourself up to
II entirely. sitting is the biggest
part of obtaining soul reloasA'
Sometimes IL is necessary TO sit for
four hours on stretch, for many
days OF sitting before IL is accom-
plished. But when il is-you know
you are well rewarded for your ef-
forts
"One has a feeling of being lifted
up and waited off into the clouds
above. soul release is frequently
manifested by the arms rising up Of
their own volition as If being lfted
by exterior force.
Some have called the soul release
a sixth sense and still others the
fourth dimension but whatever II is
called. II still remains soul re-
lease The effect is all the same.
THREE PLANES.
There are three planes-thc mental
plane, the physical plane, and the
spiritual plane. Each of these planes
is subdivided into seven parts. but
what we are concerned with is the
spiritual. Scientifically speaking, IL
is the rate of vibration that really ac-
coplishes a soul release We sit
alone and give ourselves up, but
really il Is the rate of vibration with
which our soul vibrates with the
spirit forces in the air that actually
accomplishes a soul release. The
mysterious forces of the spirit world
that float around in the air draw us
out of ourselves like a magnet
when | direct my pupils 10 sit
alone for "A certain number Of hours
each day and tell them to give them
selves up to il. | am really having them
absorb the forces Of the spirit world.
and by thus drawing in the power in
the air they accomplish release Of their
spirit.
Il believe that if the girls and men,
too, will try for soul release much
OF their mad desire for gayety and
pleasures will pass Off. and they will
be perfectly rational human beings.
They will find real pleasure of a much
more wholesome and holy natur than
in the places OF amusement OF today

IL when the girls feel that moou
coming on when they must shimmy
and jazz. they will confine them
selves to their rooms In silent medita-
ton, and release their souls to the
higher planes. they will find much Of
their spirit OF restlessness removed"
said Mrs. Coates.
There Is nothing so soothing and
delightful" Soul release is no fancy.
IL Is an actual experience in the spirit
world when the body releases the
soul into the higher realms. far above
the noise and feverishness OF this
world.

LOOMS
OVER D. c. BILL
Senate Will Take Up Measure
Tomorrow and Warm
Debate Is Certain.

The District OF Columbia appropri-

for consideration by the Senate
tomorrow.
Senator Curtis, chairman OF the
District appropriations subcommit-
tee, Is awaiting the close OF the
debate on the Mussel Shoals meas
ure for an opportunity to get the
bill before the Senate. lie hopes for
prompt action upon it.
PROSPECT or BATTLE.
The prospect OF fight over the
school appropriations. to be precipi-
tated by Senator Harrison of Missis-
sippi, means, however. that the meas
urc will not be passed without debate.
1t IL certain. also, that opponents OF

Der Will dissect the action OF the ap-
propriations subcommittee in restor-
ing that feature TO the bill, and may
succeed in having II stricken out on "A
point of order.
II is generally believed that Senator
Curtis and the other members of the
subcommittee placed the half-and-
half plan in the District bill, not be-
cause they had any real hope OF over
turning inc existing bO-iO nsCal ar
rangement at the present time. but
because they planned to use II for
trading and bargaining purposes with
the House.
COMPROMISE POSSIBLE.
The House confereeC undoubtedly will
have their way in opposition to the
haitian half plan. provided they per-
nit the Senate plan with regard to
using the surplus DistriC funds for
the benefit OF the public schools to be
retained in the measure. 4 compro-
mise on this basis would be accept
able TO the Senate.
Tn" action OF the subcommittee in
postponing appropriations for the
construct ion Of school buildings is
not likely to be changed in the Sen
ate. despite senator liarrison's deter
mination TO make a night against it.
The present sentiment in favor of
drastic rctrcnchment is too strong to
be modified even by the dangerous
congestion and overCrOwding that

CONFERENC
WANTS WORLD POWERS TO MEET
IN WASHINGTON ON DIS
ARMAMENT.
TO DISCUSS PROBLEMS
IF AGREEABLE WILL ISSUE FOR
NAL INVITATIONS TO BIG
WORLD CONFERENCE.

Washington, July II. - President
Harding has taken definite steps look
ing to Il conference in Washington of
the principal allied and associated
powers to discuss limitations of arma-
ment He also has suggested to the
interested nations that there be at, the
same time Il discussion of Pacific and
Far Eastern problems with Il view to
reaching common understanding.
This announcement has been made by
the State Department, by direction of
the President in the following state
ment:
The fact that the President has sug-
gested to the interested nations
Joint discussion of the Far Eastern
and Pacific problems came as some
thing of surprise in Washington. The
departments statement did not make
clear what nations had been ap-
preached on these particular subjects,
but aside from China, which was spe-
officially named, it was assumed that
Great Britain and Japan were among
them.
Renewal of Anglo-JapaneSe alliance
is now under discussion by the Brit
ish and Japanese governments, but
whether this is considered by Mr.. Har-
ding as within the scope of the pro-
posed conference on Pacific and Far
Eastern problems has not been dis
closed. Mr.. Lloyd George, British pre-
mier, announced recently in the House
of Commons that he expected to have
Il statement to make with regard to
the alliance, but this was dependent
upon the replies received from the
United States, Japan and China"
Proposals for Il conference on world
disarmament were made in Congress
some months ago and Il resolution by
Senator R0rah, Republican, Idaho, ask
ing the President to invite Great Bri-
tain and Japan to confer with the
United States on the question of limit
! ing naval construction, has been made
part of the naval appropriation bill
and accepted both by the Senate and
| House.
The President, however, apparently
has gone much farther than the sug-
| geStOn in the BOrah resolution His
| inquiries have been addressed to
| France and Italy as well, and there is
nothing in the State Department an
uOuncement to suggest that the limi-
tation of armaments be confined sole
| ly TO naval construction.
| When the disarmament question was
discussed in Congress, various pro-
pOsalS were made that any conference
on this subject contemplates reduc,
tion of armies as we'll as navies, but
some members felt that France could
not be expected to consent to any ma

three other deaths, it is suspected
may be laid up against him.
But the most atrOcious crime
charged against Schultz is the muir
der of Joseph Ball, his wife and eight
een-year-Old son, Jacob, in December,
1915. The charge has been made by
the mans own son, julius Schultz,
who fled from home after the crime
and enlisted in the navy in hopes of
forgetting the shocking scene he wit

Murder of Ball Family.
Joseph Ball was a Hungarian who
had Anglicized his name. He lived
In a little shack in IA valley back Of
the Schultz home. On December IL,
1915 julius says his father aroused
him from sleep and ordered him to
dress and accompany him. When they
were ready to leave the house the
father handed him gun and carried
one himself. outside the door Schultz
picked up can of kerosene and a
bag of shavings. Arrived close by tho
Ball shack the father ordered Julius
to take up a position 25 feet from the
door and shoot anyone who might
leave the building. Then with the
kerosene can and the shavlngs the
old man started fires at each end Of
the shack and when the terrified In
mates rushed out shot them down

There had been bad blood between
Schultz and Joseph Ball.
