To HEAR MO. PAC.
Officials Will Ask to Withdraw
Four Trains.
Shortage of Coal Supply Is
> Given as Cause.

1t is likely that Missouri Pacific Of
ficials will be given a hearing by the
public utilities commission Saturday
covering the roads application for
permission to withdraw four trains
The Missouri Pacific wants to suspend
operation of four trains in Kansas Its
officials claim that the roads fuel sup
ply is low and that the only coal avail
able is from Colorado mines
Reed Issues Statement
Clyde NJ. Reed. Chairman of the
public utilities commission, today out
lined the position of the commission
regarding action of rail lines in seeking
ito reduce service in Kansas IN MS
statement Chairman Reed said;
The commission wants this situa-
ton clearly understood. 1t has not
foreclosed its Judgment on any pre-
sentation of facts by the railroad
showing a condition that would war
rant a curtailment OF train service
arising either from a shortage OF tuel;
from power conditions or any other
cause. 1t is merely insisting that the
laws of the state of Kansas be COM
piled with. The judgment and order
of the commission Will depend upon
the facts as presented to it
The Frisco withdrew its trains
without presenting any facts ana
without obtaining consent of the state
authority. This is in violation OF the
laws of the state and the commission
proceeded accordingly. The railroads
have freely asked that the authority
of the state he exercised to protect
them in their operation in recent
weeks So far as the public utilities
commission has power the rule is go
ing to work both ways and the rail-
roads will have to conform to the law
OF the state as well as to seek its
benefits"

vision superintendent, declared today
when informed of the Associated Press
report from Topeka that the utilities
commission contemplated court action.
For the first time that 1 can re-
member. we are shipping coal from
the Colorado mines TO Fort Scott and

"The Big City Four" one of the most popular quartets on the vaude- yille stage, is the headliner attraction at the Lyric for the first half of the week. They are known the con- tinent over as masters of harmony and were formerly members of the famous Paulist choir. The quartet. composed of Messrs. Rover, shannon, Lambert and Scanlon separated a few seasons ago, but have recently re- turned to the vaudeville stage with repertoire of classic and popular selections.
 Hampton and Burke make up the second headline attraction with their comedy skit, "Beaucoup Nuisance" This skit was written by Roy Perkins. famous Chicago playwright. Miss Dorothy Blake was formerly on the screen with Famous Players and was acclaimed one of the most beautiful women in the cinema.
 Other acts in addition to these two headliners promise theatre goers the best performance they have seen in quite some time. Perez and Mar guerite, novelty jugglers. are an European importation and they have been popular this side of the Atlantic. Anna Vivian and company with a sen- sational shooting act, and Lou Reed and Al Tucker in Two Gentlemen From Nowhere" violin and eccentric dancing act, put all the pep in the bill that is necessary. These five feature attractions with Pathe News and Topics of the Day complete a program of unusual merit.

 Washington. May 27--The visit to Washington of the Vive Admiral Sir William Christopher Pakenham, brings to the national capital the most formidable British war craft which has been in the Potomac river since the War of 1872 and occupation of Washington by the British in 1913. The visit also recalls a story of the World war in which the United States and Great Britain were associated" if not allied powers.
 It seems that just after the United States declared war against Germany in 1917, it was deemed essential that certain propa ganda should be under taken to immediately help the fast failing morale of the British and French peoples. It was decided that the best way to reach the masses was through the movies" or the cinema, as the British say. Conse- quently reel after reel of American films the educational kind, not the wild and woody west stuff were sent over.
 A board of censorship of pagand was set up by the British, and at the first showing of the American films the members of the board, including Sir William Goode, so well known here in Washington, where he work ed for time as a newspaper r1an, viewed the pictures with the most
