MADRAS, India, Jan. 13 lBy'The AS

Prince of Wales here to-day was ac-
companied with rather serious rioting,
resulting in several casualties. The
rioting became SO intense that the po-
lice interfered with armored cars.
LONDON, Jan. ia dispatch to
"The London Times" from Madras says
the magnificent reception prepared for
the arrival of the Prince of Wales was
spoiled by a sudden outbreak of riot
ing, similar to that which took place
in Bombay. Two deaths are reported
to have resulted. One of the dead was
a rioter who was shot by member of
a motion picture theater staff, which
the mob had attacked. Troops are
patrolling the streets.
The cause of the rioting, according
to the correspondent of "The Daily
Mail" was an attempt by the adherents
of Gandh to prevent the people from
going to greet the prince.

CANNES, Jan 13 (By The Associated
Press) The Allied Reparations Com
mission at a conference here to-day
decided to grant provisional delay to
Germany on her rcparations account
but required her to pay 100000
gold marks every ten days during the
period of provisional delay. This sun,
is just about equal to 25 per cent on
German expectations.
1t is made clear in tho conditions
lad down by the commission that the
arrangement is only p temporary one
to be superseded by any definite ar
rangcmcnt the Allies may make here
after IN regard to reparations. The
expectation in Council circles is that
by the time the Germans reply to the
demand of the commission for reforms
WHICH include the suppression of sub
Sldlcs and an increased price for coal
the French government will be ready
TO resume consideration of the whole
rcparations question.

Board of Estimate in Favor
OF Auto Lines and Sub.
ways as Against ssL''
construction in Future
Whalen for Stock Issue
transit Board Plea for Cash
for Salaries and Expenses
Being Considered by Court

Iho Board Of Estimate meeting yes
terday was wholly occupied with transit
matters. A hearing attended by repre-
sentatlves Of numerous civic organiza-
tlons from the Bronx. Queens and Rich
mohd was held on the question of the
adoption by the board of fixed policy
III regard to future rapid transit de-
velopment The board went on record
as favoring subways and bus lines, as
against elevated structures in all future
construction.
The resolution ar rncing the policy
of the board was introduced by Bor-
ough President Riegelmann of Brook
lyn The reference to buses was in
corporated at the suggestion of Mayor
Hylan.' Comptroller Charles L.. Craig
was the only member of the board vot-
ing against the resolution. He agreed
that subways were necessary in con-
gested districts, but thought it might
be different in outlying districts The
Comptroller declared that the resolu-
tion was too broad at this time.
The Mayor and other members of the
board improved the opportunity during
the transit discussion to attack the
Transit Commission and the Port Au-
thorty. They declared their intention
to keep battering" until things came
their way. The Mayor declared that
he would not be "browbcaten into sub
mission" on the question of busses and
other transit matters.
Stock Urged for Busscs
Commissioner Whalen of the Depart
ment of Plant and Structures found
the time opportune to present an ap-
plication to the board for $250OO,OOO in
corporate stock for $500 motor buses
to be operated and maintained by the
city to take the place of surface trolley
cars. Commissioner Whalen gave the
following figures:
"Investment: $500 busses at $500
each $1o,25o,ooo; spare parts at s100
a part, $35O,00o; garage equipment for
$500 busses at $100 each, $3.50, 900; ma
chine shop and equipment, S1,OOO,000;
garages, $3,S00,000; contingencies,
S250,0O0.'
The Commissioner estimated that
the total fixed charges would be $13,-
1000 a year. On the basis of each
bus carrying 700 passengers daily at
five cents each, or $3E 8 bus, the total
daily return to the city would be $112,-
600. He estimated that the net income
to the city a year would amount to
S4O31 900. Comm issioner Whalen
based his request on the hope that
legal obstacles, in the form Of injunc-
tions, would be removed SO that the
city would be allowed to operate the
busses.
The Commissioner declared that
while the present distractions we're
being dissolved the time might be we'll
