Clayton was the prime mover In
the organization of the Federation of
Citizens Associations, and for many
years has been chairman OF it's com
mittee on public utilities. He is a
washin gtonian, with the best interest
OF Washingtonians at heart, and ne
has studied the traction problem
closely for twenty years Aside from
the merits or demerits Of the Clayton
plan, therefore, he is entitled to a
hearing.
In a nutshell, Clayton proposes
that street car rates on the Capital
Traction be fixed at a figure that
will give 1T a fair return, regardless
of what rate may be felt to be
necessary for the Washington Rail
way and Electric in order to give
1T fair return.
"It Is q violation Of the very letter
and spirit Of the law" said Clayton
today, "tO fix street car rates Mt n

an unreasonably high return, which

That's worth thinking about. The

ed, Survivor Claims.


PENSACOLA. Fla, July 22.-The
schooner Viola was burned and twenty
three men. including some Chinese.
which IT Is alleged were being SNUG
gled into this country. lost their lives.
according to q story told here today by
Alfred Unman, q seaman.
Ullman was found six miles south
of Chipley and placed under arrest.
He said a boat was to have met the
Viola twenty miles from Pensacola,
but that II did not arrive. The crew
and the Cinnamon then became rest
less, he said, and trouble broke out,
eliminating when the vessel caught
fire and burned. to the waters edge.
Ullman was member of the Viola s
crew, he said.
Ullman informed Federal Officers
that the captain of the Viola was
to get $1,000 for the trip. He said
that twenty Cinnamon were arrested
at West Bay yesterday by Deputy
Coram, of the Federal forces, who
reported the matter to the United
States marshal's office at Pensacola
and asked the local headquarters
to watch incoming trains. This tip
resulted in the arrest of Ullman.
The failure of boat from Pen
sacola to meet the Viola caused the
latter to drop anchor for several
days, this wait resulting III the food
supply getting low.
Ullman said the Viola had five
cases of liquor on board when
burned. He said no one but the
captain knew the real intent and
purpose of the trip, and that all on
board were afraid of the captain.
Ullman is German citizen, Ee
said, but during the war he was
working at the Brooklyn, N. y,
navy yard. and had declared himself
to be an enemy alien.

Der 80 as compared with December 8.
Between these dates there was a re-
duction of nearly 81 million dollars in
holdings OF commercial and business
paper and a reduction OF nearly liz
millions in loans -securAd by certiha
Gates of Indebtedness, while these were
increases Of IN millions in live stock
paper, one-quarter of a million in ag-
ricultural paper, 2k millions. in notes
secured by Liberty loan bonds, and
more than a million in notes secured
by Victory notes. 1t appears hat the
city customers are reducing inven-
tories, taking losses and reducing their
borrowings, whereas agricultural dis
tricts are being carried for increasing
amounts.
The discount rates Of the Federal
Reserve bank remained unchanged
during December. Rates in the open
market changed Slightly. There were
increases from one-fourth to one-half
per cent in nong term paper whether
secured by cattle, warehoused goods,
or unsecured commercial paper. These
increases were confined to advances in
the higher rates, and not to those GUS
tomartly prevailing. There was a de-
crease Of about one-eighth per cent on
the average in the prevailing rates for
bankers acceptances running for 80
days both endoysed and unendorsed.
Commercial paper pas selling on De-
cember 81 at 8 per cent the same OF
in November, but fully Q per cent
more than a year CO., while custom
ers' rate at banks was IN per cent
the same as in November, but fully
IL per cent more than a ear ago.
A statement Of condition of the ~
Federal Reserve banks combined
shows that there was a decrease be-
tween December 8, 1920, and January
Z, 1921, in the t~otal-earning assets OF
221 million dollars, owing to a reduc-
ton Of ia millions of bills discount
ed, a reduction of Sc millions in notes
secured by government collateral, and
reductions in acceptances bought and
securities held. There was a decrease
in Federal Reserve notes outstanding
Of AZ millions which precisely equals
the reduction during the preceding
month. Member banks reserve depos-
