The boss says-what's the matter.
Well put you two In q ring?

Suspects Picked Up After
Headquarters Is Deeply
Agitated.

False alarms sent I'm during the
early hours OF this morning deeply
stirred both the police and fire de-

short time nine alarms were sent In.
Three suspects were arrested. They

twenty-three years old, 404 Florida

wards, twenty-five years old, 70S
Irving street northwest, and Austin
A. Carter, eighteen years old, 1875
New Jersey avenue. The three youths
are colored.
Some one reported TO Policeman &.
b. Mcdonald. of the Eighth pre-.
cinct, that he saw colored man
alight from a machine and send in
an alarm. At the time the citizen
thought IL was a legitimate call and
did not become suspicious. But
when several false alarms began To
sound in headquarters he reported
what he had seen to the policeman
He took the license number of the
car and handed il over to the police
man.
The three colored men arrested
were in the machine bearing the
number which the policeman was
given. No charges have been pre-.
ferred against the men.

Is entirely inadequate.

CHINESE CASUALLY TELLS
POLICE OF BOLD ROBBERY

One of three colored bandits who
entered the laundry Of Charlie Wing.
l343 r street northwest, pointed a
pistol in the Chinese's face while
two others robbed the cash register.
The hold-up occurred Saturday
night, but the report did not reach
the police until this morning, when
Charlie CHANGED to see a policeman
passing his laundry. The Oriental
said he feared he could not make the
police understand because OF his
poor knowledge Of English. and gave
that as his reason for not having re-
ported the "stick-up" sooner.
Wing made no outcry when the
"stick.up" men entered his place,
and the bandits worker at leisure.
After they took the money they
calmly left the laundry and disap-
peared in the darkness.

A petition Of the Federation OF

three tokens for 20 cents will come
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion at it's meeting next Friday, II
was understood today.
1t Is expected the Commission
will order a public hearing to get
views on the request. Citizens
representatives are prepared to put
UP a strong fight for a revised rate.
William f. Ham, president Of the
company, said today he favored the
sale Of tokens in large quantities.
lie pointed out that street car
service was facilitated when a large
sale of tokens is permitted. lie
said that three tokens for 90 cents
is a matter for the Commissioners
to decide.
Goldenberg's department store,
following the line Of public opinion,
announces in its newspaper adver-
tisements that 1t will sell tokens
three for 20 cents.

March 5, 1922.
Editor, Washington Times.
Dear Sir: Knowing your public
spirit in everything pertaining to
the welfare Of our city, l would
like to make a suggestion, II the
same has not already occurred to
you.
In reading the advertisement Of
Goldenberg in this mornings
Times l noticed their offer to sell
three car tokens for 20 cents. Now,
why not agitate in your paper the
idea of one store on every corner
where there is a car stop, to adopt
the same idea of selling three for
20 cents.
would like to see how long the
car companies would let them have
the tokens to sell, for l am sure
that they regard this as too much
Of a good thing to let go.
would like to see II tried.
Yours inquisitively,
s. II. FUKERSON.
