Mrs. ToIstoi Denies Wrong

Denying charges preferred by her
husband that she was guilty of mis-
conduct on a recent automobile
trip, Mrs. Rose M. Tolstoi today
filed in the District Supreme Court
her answer to the suit for absolute
divorce brought by Albert Tolstoi,
an employee Of a local shoe store.
The wife also filed a cross-bill
against her husband asking for a
limited divorce on the grounds of
cruelty and desertion. She claims
that during the past two years her
husband attacked her on several oc.
casions, bruising her, and on one
occasion knocking her down. In
March Of this year she alleges
Tolstoi kicked her so that she was
disabled for several days. The wife
charges that whenever she asked
for money to provide necessaries
Tolstoi cursed her.
Through Attorney Raymond Neu'
decker, the wife denied. any wrong
doing on her part, and stated that
her husband has frequently me-
elected her for other women. She
requested the court to award her
permanent alimony and the custody
of their infant child. The couple

Both father and son were in the

to police headquarters and after
several hours questioning admitted
killing his father.

Toussaint declared he shot his
parent to death because he had
threatened to break up his home
The father. young Henry said, OBJ
jected to his wife, and threatened
to dissolve their contracting bust
ness if the son continued to live
with his wife.
Henry, in a fit Of rage. he con

lonely road and fired six times with
a revolver. The father died in
stantly. Young Toussaint dragged
the body to a nearby ditch and left
it. He went to his home and de-
clares he slept soundly throughout
the night.
School teachers and former class
mates from Washington, D. c., are
expected here in the next few days
to testify for Toussaint. They will
be used by the defense to substan-
tiate claims that the boy had acted
"oueerly" since childhood.
The elder Toussaint once owned
the Summit Hotel, at Seventh and
N street northwest, Washington.
The son attended Mckinley High
School and George Washington Uni
versity there. The family was well
known in the National Capital. The
father left Washington about five
years ago to enter business in
wichita Falls with his son.

end we will have to put on our

British Hold Another View.
While this Interpretation was be-
ing placed on Lasker's move by
certain American shipping people,
there were British residents here
who painfully thought that they
could look even further into the
future. Their view was as follows:
'The American shipowners may
be right in thinking that Mr..
Lasker is playing sales trick on
them, but they overlook the Con-
gress What will the Congress do

cent for money and will carry by
comparison crushing burden of

IAN American subsidized private
ship would have been bad enough
for the British merchant marine.
An American subsidized Govern

because it can be built on cheaper
credit and operated on a deficit
without limit.

Out of these comments there are
two facts which seem proved. One
is that Lasker has certainly found

HERE FOR
ELECTRIC RAIL
SESSIONS
Bus Regulation to Be Con-
sidered at Tomorrow's
Session of Association.

More than 1000 members Of the
American Electric Railway Asso-
citation from all parts of the Uni
ted States and Canada attended the
opening of the mid-year conference
of the organization in the New VIII
lard Hotel today. Today's sessions
will be devoted to business and COM
mittee meetings.
At tomCA rows sessions the asso-
citation will discuss the regulation
and taxation of electric railways
and a progress report OH what the
industry has done since the Govern
ment appointed a commission to in
vestigate its condition three years
ago will be made.
Among the speakers at the day
sessions tomorrow are: Dwight N.
Lewis, Des Moines, president OF the
National Association of Railway
Utilities commissioners; State Sena-
tor Frederick M. Davenport, New
York; c. D. Emmons, Baltimore,
president of the American Electric
Railway Association; Engineer Com
missioner Keller, Charles C. Elwell.
Connecticut: Alexander Forward,
Virginia; James A. Perry, Georgia;
Henry l.. Doherty, New York, and
Alfred It. Davidson, New York.
At the dinner tomorrow evening
Secretary of the Interior Fall will
be the principle speaker. Former
Vice President Thomas r. Marshall
will also address the diners as will
Thomas N. McCarter, president Of
the Public Service Company Of
Newark.
Lewis address, it was announced
today, will deal in part with the
national bus situation. The attitude
of the association toward busses, Of
ficials of the organization say, is
that they should not be permitted to
wage unrestricted competition on
established electric railways
1t also holds that the electric rail-
ways should furnish complete and
satisfactory TRANSPORTATION service
to all communities where they
operate, both by cars and busses.
Buses, the association contends,
should be regarded as common car
riers and subjected to the same
regulations as electric railways.
The question Of State VS.. local
regulation also will be discussed.
Lewis has announced himself as
being strongly in favor of State
regulation.
Other important matters to be
taken up at the convention will be
the taxation of electric railways and
the paving tax. The latter tax, 1t
will be shown, has been declared as
unfair by the Federal Electric Rail-
way Commission,
