this rule is followed by the users of
traction facilities, he argues, a num-
Der Of car riders will be forced to pay
cash fares, either because they can
not afford at the time of riding the in

London Sees Coalition Status
Unchanged -Premier's

BY the Associa ted Press.

LONDON, March 8.-Sir Arthur
Balfour's plea for a continuance OF
the coalition in a speech at the City
Carlton Club yesterday afternoon did
nothing to improve the position OF
the coalition and left matters as they
were, with the resignation OF Prime
Minister Lloyd George hanging in the
air, according to the almost unani-
nous agreed opinion of political cor
respondents and editorial writer's
today.
Rated "Philosophic Effort"
"sir Arthuf's speech" said a Lon
don Times editorial, was philo-
sophie effort the worth of which will
be more readily judged when it's in
evitable failure has become ap-
parent"
Few informed persons took the
view today that the crisis had been
solved, although a majority declined
to predict any immediate develop
ment, implying a belief that the stu
alton would remain in state of sus-
pense during the prime minister S
holiday.
See Renewal of Storm.
The two conspicuous exceptions to
this viewpoint were the Westminster
Gazette, which declared, that the
storm was working up again and the
political atmosphere was charged
with electricity.
The Daily Sketch referred some
what Indefinitely to possibly start

pressed by the Commissioners and Of
hclais OF the fire department today al
Inc action of Senator Cameron of Ari-

visions for thirteen additional fireInen

Senate.
The fire department estimates called
for the addition of twenty-five men.
who were urgently needed to augmen;
the present force. The House cut the
number down to twelve and the Sen
ate committee followed suit.
On the moor of the Senate yesterday
senator Cameron proposed an amend
ment, which was agreed to, that
raised the additional number from
twelve to twenty-five and provided
an addition of s1s,9S0 to the bill to
care for the increase.
;o1nciais of the fire department de-
clared that the act was highly appre

the handicaps which would be en-
countered unless the addition WIS

point committees to carry forward
both undertakings.
The bureau will list all of the en-
ployes of the members of the as

ports on the efficiency and the worth
whileness of all applicants for posi-
tions.- 1t will therefore be an in

President Stephen has named Syl-
van King chairman of a committee to
organize the traffic group. The group
will undertake the consideration of
all matters affecting transportation
and will, from time to time, make
recommendation to the board of

The purpose of the group is to
permit the heads and employees of
firms affiliated with the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association to
gain the benefit of higher education
in all traffic matters, such as rates
for freight and express, packing and
wrapping, for local delivery as well
as out of town. all with a view to re-
ducing the traffic overhead in a de-
partment which 1t is declared has
amounted to a considerable extent.
Standardization of shipping and re-
ceiving will play an important part,
and the group also will make it pos
sible for broader and better under
standing of mutual problems between
the railroads. express. drayage and
other companies and individuals deal
ing in or touching the transportation
problem as it affects business.

Commissioner Oyster. who has

has a definite plan of dealing with

There may already be. a law on

cases" the Commissioner stated To Il
Star reporter, but L think enactment
of a specific law dealing with the
question would throw scare into
the bootleggers that would mean The.
accomplishment of much good"
He suggested that the sale of any
bootleg or other intoxicant contain
ing poison that threatens sight, life
and reason should be made a felony.
punishable by a term in the penllen-
tiary.
He would not have the law provide
liquid contained poison. Sale of the
liquor is a violation of law, and the
seller should be held to a strict ac-
countability for the consequences re-
sulting from drinking it.
"All that should be necessary to
convict such persons" the Commits
sioner said, .'is a showing that the
fluid sold contained poison"

is the intention Of the government
officials to prosecute such violators

Today at Lenten Services Held

well rounded manhood consists of

Barclay of Kentucky in an address at
the midday Lenten services at Keith's

He outlined these as ''the physical
side, which we demonstrate with our
games and sports in this country; the
mental side, shown by our great edu-
cational institutions, and the spiritual
and moral side. demonstrated by 49,
600, 900 church members in the United
States"
The speaker said the midday Lenten
services in Washington are sufficient
demonstration that I'VE are round
ing out our spiritual side in such a
way as to make US supreme in that
respect, as we have always been in
the physical and mental, which should
be sufficient answer to some of our
recent foreign visitors who came
over to get our money and insulted
us as they went home by saying that
we were immoral, devoted to jazz,
didn't know what we wanted in the
way of legislation or how to enforce
it after we got it"

DELAYS RE0PEN|NG
/ OF SCHOOL HALLS
Dr.. BalIou Awaits Orders Be.
fore Risking Children in
AuditoriumS.

Opening of the public school audi
forums to the pupils. tentatively
planned. will he deferred until or
dered by the board of education. it
was announced today by Supt. Bal
lou. Meantime the school board
will endeavor to learn definitely from
the Commissioners why the halls are
safe for the children and not for
the public.
The officials decided upon the de-
lay, feeling that they should not be
held responsible for the safety of
the pupils in view of the fact that
District authorities closed the halls
to public gatherings.
DR.. Ballou contends that if the
auditoriuns do not conform to build
ing regulations and are not entirely
protected from fire hazards. as
claimed. it is not. safe to allow pupils
pointed out. built and designed the
schools. and it is up to them to
make them safe.
Trained for Fire Emergencies.
The differentiation between the pub
lie and the children by the CommlS-
sioners, it was cmpha sized. was made
on the ground that the latter are dis
ciplined and have been trained for hre
emergencies. DIR. Ballou said, how
ever, that pupils are not accustomed
to fire drills from the assembly halls
and therefore are not familiar with
the methods of leaving the schools
from these audltoriums.
AS the school board does not meet
until next Wednesday the, halls will
be closed until that time, and maybe
longer.
DR.. Ballou today received letter
from Commissioner Rudolph author
izing the holding of meetings in the
a.1J r. nif &C.
and civic groups. Before lifting the
ban on the auditoriums for pubic
gatherings. however. the superin-
tendent will ask the Commissioners
for q specific ruling on each activity
held within them.
Would Permit Regular Meetings..
The letter from Commissioner
Rudolph read:
"Supplementing our letter of March
to the board of education. we wish
to say that the use of the assembly
halls in the public schools as meeting
places for the members of citizens
associations and other civic groups
of like character is, in our opinion,
unobjectionable, when such use is
limited to periodical meetings for the
transaction of business in which such
associations are principally interest
ed, and when it is not extended to
the giving of entertainments to large
audiences"
A report on the community center
departments use of the school halls
has been prepared by Miss Cecil 4.
Norton. general director, and will be
forwarded to the Commissioners
with the request that they check off
the activities which do not meet with
their approval. The activities which
are mot approved will be prohibited
DIR. Ballou said. as it is the intention
of the school authorities to abide by
every order of the Commissioners.
