ACTRESS DENIES CHARGE

The one thing that Albert L. Johnson
and Peggy Marsh his wife, the actress
who has been engaged in litigation with
Mary DAILY. a guest at the Great North
ern Hotel. agreed on yesterday in West
Side Court was that there was an acri-
monious discussion in voices perhaps a
bit louder than a whisper In Miss Daly's
room shortly before 2 o'clock Tuesday
morning.
Accordingly to Miss DAILY, most of the
noise was made by Mr.. Johnson, who,
she said. kicked, slapped and swore at
her. tore her telephone off the wall and
threw a good two pound box of candy
out of the window Mr.. Johnson who
Is a nephew OF the late Mayor Tom
Johnson of Cleveland, has not had his
day in court yet on Miss Daly's charge
slapping, tearing and throwing in toto.
So does Miss Marsh, who. according to
Miss Daily, seated herself in chair
and smoked n cigarette with philosophic
calm during the whole proceedings.
Johnson, a tall young man of 26
years, was arrested Tuesday on Miss
Daly's complaint of simple assault. by
Warrant Officer Fisher. At the West
Sixty-eighth street station he put up
$500 bail. and yesterday he was ar
raigned on the charge.
Miss DAILY, who is buyer for a Can
adian merchants bureau, said that
Johnson, Peggy Marsh and two men
unknown to her walked into her apart
ment at the Great Northern al A. NJ.
Tuesday, just as she and Miss Grace
Boutelle, friend with whom she had
a late supper. were retiring. She said
she had complained several times about
wild parties" in the Johnson suite
during the morning hours and the
Johnsons had heard about it.
The kicking, slapping, &c.. then en-

This tabulation by Mr. Lindars was
characterized by Chairman McAneny as
the most illuminating document on the
subject OF costs that we have had before
us at any time" Mr.. Shearn explained
that Il is the summary OF careful work
that has been carried on through the
last four months.
Lest il might be thought that the DEM
onstrated inadequacy of the nickel fore
shadows an increased fare. however, Mr..
McAneny called attention to the faca that
IL is contemplated to effect such econ
omies in the proposed unified system as
to make the Ave cent fare sufficient 10

arrangement and more effective CO.
ordination Of the transit system reduc-
ton of interest and rental charges that
1t has in view; the elimination OF taxes
and other public charges, from which
the municipalized lines naturally would
be free, and the reductions OF cost ef-
fected through consolidation of power
plans and other facilities to be used in
common.
With Mr. Lindars still testifying. much
of the afternoon session was devoted
to showing the enormous increase dur
ing recent years In the cost of labor
and practically of all materials, includ-
ing fuel, which enter into operating
costs. Largely as a result of these
swollen costs the aggregate corporate
deficit for all the city lines for 1921
was sl6,sO6, S3OeO.
That" said Mr.. Shearn, sis the def
icft that the united system has staring
1t in the face which must be overcome
by the economies and other benefits of
consolidation
The deficit has been increasing for the
last three years. All these figures en-
tirely exclude interest on the city's SUBJ
way investment.
But there were a few bright spots in
the picture after all. 1t was brought
out that coal contracts for the current
fiscal year, which have just been ap-
proved by the commission at $6.3 a
ton, will save to the l. r. r. and the
B. r. II. si,260,0o0 as compared with
last years fuel charges. The chairman
added that this coal economy follows
a saving of $5,000,000 coming from ad-
justment of wage scales under last
years schedules. AS indicating the
growth of fuel bills alone, it was shown
that while the Interborough in 191.
spent for coal 81 asO174, its coal bill for
1921 was $5.55i,57l. Figures for the b. r
T. were s1,119,105, as compared with
s2.903. 40i.
The examination will proceed this
morning. 1t is expected that the first
of the Interborough' officers win be
interrogated to-day.

ARIZONA MAKES GOOD START
 IN DRIVE FOR SALVATION ARMY

Arizona got away to a flying start in the first of seven-day campaign in behalf of the Salvation Army, which opened last Monday. Campaign directors in the IA counties of the state are confident that Arizona citi- zens will respond most hartily to the appeal for state budget amounting to $25,400, especially in view of the great need for extended Salvation Army work in Arizona this year.
 The first days drive was especially gratifying to the county advisory boards, word received at state cam paign headquarters in Phoenix last Monday said. Conditions in Arizona at this time caused campaign directors some anxiety as to the success of the effort, but results here have given them new confidence and they will renew their efforts with even greater determination to make the drive a real success.
 The support given the Army drive by American Legion members thru out the state has been the source ot considerable qualification to- the cam paign workers Tt shows a true ap preciation for the work the Salvation Army did overseas" Major E. M Duncan, campaign director, said Mon day Our work in Arizona is equal ly as worthy but does not receive the same degree of public comment for the reason that we conduct our efforts in a quiet, unassuming manner" The drive will be brought to close Sunday night

were posted TO give warning at the

Just before daylight one morning
the traders were awakened by a shot.
and rushed out TO find a guard lying
wounded on the ground. In the next
instant a band OF Pawnees charged
down on the train. A fierce battle fol-
lowed. The Indians Who attacked
the train were REINFORCED by n larger
band and In a short time Il became
evident that the train, whose defend

doomed. Suddenly Dodd. whose rifle

In the Portland (Ore.) city park

A little baby Is strapped OH her back

statue is that OF Sacagawea. THE Bird

which her hand points.
When Lewis and Clark visited the
Hidatsa Indians In North Dakota on
their great exploring trip west, they
found a Shoshone girl living with that
tribe. Al the age Of five she had been
captured from her people by a Hidatsa
war party. When she was fourteen
years old. Toussaint Charbanneau, a
French-Canadian trapper, won her
from her captor In a game OF hide

year.
The Bird Woman wished 20 return
