Hardison Willing to Serve
Nights-PIan Opposed.

With an additional $4,000 in the
Police Court budget, officials are GER
tain that another courtroom, with
Judge. clerk and other requisites. can
be sustained.
This figure was estimated accord.
ing to the present low salaries re-

the judges being paid an annual sal.
ary of $500, clerks 81 800 and the
bailiffs and marshals $1,000.
Although Judges Robert d. Hardi-
son and John Mcmahon have several
times demanded large appropriation
from the Commissioners, in view of
the fact that Police Court has been
one of the Districts greatest sources
Of revenue, no immediate response
can be hoped for, according to Paul
w. Garrett, clerk of the United
States branch of Police Court.
Judge Hardison, in his attempt TO
keep court expenses within the limits
OF the budget, Is supporting plans
for a night court over which he is
willing to preside. Numerous objec-
tions have been raised to this plan,
and 1t is not likely that it will be put
into effect.
The only course left for this court.
said Assistant District Attorney
Ralph Given, Is to persist in its ap-
peal for more funds for an extra floor
to the present structure.

patrons carried. He said the traffic
has been on a downward trend since
1921, and Is continuing. He also said
that the operation costs have de.
creased slightly, but not enough to
offset the money loss from reduced
patronage. He said a slight reduc.
ton now would bring the company's 8
return below fair figure. He point
ed out this city is paying a moderate
rate Of fare compared with other
cities.
In conclusion. Mr.. Hanna asked
that the fare remain the same.
Mr.. Ham Also Heard.
William F. Ham, president Of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company. was permitted to testify
at the hearing even though his
company had not been made a for.
NAL party to the hearing.
Mr.. Ham said his company vigor-
ously opposed lower fare on either
the lines OF the Capital Traction
Company or both railway lines. He
said his company was now earning
only n little over per cent and
lower fare would bring this figure
down so low that his company
would he operating at a further
loss. He also said that he did not
believe a lower fare on both lines
was justified At this time.
Mr.. Ham testified that II the
companies were combined. the total
arnings would only be about SIS
per cent. which he declared was
less than that usually allowed rail.

OH, CLARENCE!

Word comes from New Jersey,
home of the famous Jersey Snipe,
that the Clarences of NeDark'
haze organized a Clarence Club.
All the men in the city who haze
the name Clarence tackled on
them are eligible for member
ship.
The object of the club is to
issue propaganda to the effect
that Clarence is not an effemi-
nate or "sissy" name at all, but
that 1t belongs to a real manly,
"bulldog" sort Of a chap. Incl
dentally the Clarences there are
said to be forming an athletic
club a0hich promises to clean up.
Clarences are forming husky
football team, basketball team,
soccer team, and swimming
teams. Plans are for1Oard for a
cOrking good nine neat spring.
There are certainly enough
Clarences in Washington to put
this NeWark outfit in the shade.
