 SHOW SUCCESS

Cordova's Beauty, Brains and Wealth were mobilized last evening at the Empress 1heater, with a repre- sentative part of it upon the stage, to enjoy the annual carniva! of music and fun, under auspices of the Elks. So eager were the people to see the big show that many scores were awaiting admission at 7:15, and the house was sold out Ut & o'clock.

Reduced K. K.
Fares Do Not Apply
Below Alexandria

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion made public today tentative
report by Examiner W. H. Wagner
on the complaint submitted by the
Snowden Civil School League against
the Virginia Railway
Company in which 1t was alleged that
the establishment by the railway
company effective January /, last, of
reduced round trip fares between
Washington and Alexandria does not
apply below Alexandria. In its com
plant the league called upon the
commission to provide round trip
fares on the same basis below Alex
andria as proposed between AleXan-
dria and Washington.
In his report to the Commission
Examiner Wagncr states that this
body should find that the fares pro-
tested and the 26 round trip tickets
and the failure of the railway line to
provide the same fares below Alex
andria does not result in an unreasou-
able fare and charge 1t is recon-
mended that the complaint be dis
missed.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-An dnder-
current of strong opposition to the
passage at the present time of legls-
lation empowering President Harding
to seize and operate the anthracite coal
mines and certain coal-carrying rail
roads whenever he deems such action
necessary, appeared in Congress to-
day.
This may cause the President to
change his plan Of asking for such
legislation early this week unless the
anthracite strike is settled.
1t also became apparent today that
other strike legislation, including the
bill to crease a federal commission to
investigate the mining industry and
the measure broadening the powers
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion so that it may prevent protiteer-
ING in coal from Interstate Commerce
faces stiff fight by a minority in both
houses and its enactment probably
will be delayed.
An air of confusion as to just what
President Harding would do prevailed
here early today among congressional
leaders. government officials and rep
resentatives of the railroad and coal
interests.
This may be cleared up on the return
this morning of the executive and ms

arguments have been entered. Sena-
tor McNary and Walsh, of Massa-

Walsh offered two amendments.
one, eliminating the certificate plan
and substituting a cash bonus, the
other, to allow the bonus money ap-
ply on government Insurance prem
