FARMERS AUTOS FORCE
RAILROAD TO GIVE UP

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2O.-The
fact that every farmer along the
lines Of the Pennsylvania and New
Jersey Street Railway Company
owns an automobile is given as
one Of the reasons for the abandon
ment Of that enterprise by Cay
lord Thompson. its president. The
abandonment was recently approved
by the Pennsylvania Public Ser.
vice Commission after it was
shown that during 1922 the trolley
road, which connects Bristol and
Doylestown, In Buck County, lost
$25, 900.
The line was originally built 50
years ago at an estimated cost OF
$500 1t is 26 miles long. 10.

MARINE BLIN D
liter DRINK
Of BOOTLEG
Marshal Martin Says He Got
Stuff on Train From
0uantico.

A nineteen-year-old marine is at
the Gallinger Hospital today totally
blind as the result of drinking al
legged bootleg liquor yesterday after
noon. Physicians say they cannot
as yet say whether he will regain
his sight or will remain in Total
blindness.
The Marine, Marshal Martin, OF
Quantico, Va, was arrested on a
charge of drunkenness yesterday
in the Sixth precinct. He was
placed in a cell in the customary
routine OF the station but an hour
later his frantic shouts brought
station house attendants to his
side.
He complained that he could not
see and various attempts were made
to see If he was taking. When 1t
was decided that the youthful ma
rine was telling the truth he was
rushed to the Gallinger Hospital for
immediate treatment. Physicians
are hopeful that the blindness is
only temporary.
Martin is said to have told the
police that he bought the liquor on a
train en- route to this city from
Quantico, yesterday afternoon. lie
said that he took several drinks
from the bottle and he remarked that
it had a. powerful kick"
Martin, an exemplary member Of
the famed Marines, had just re-
ceived a few days leave from the
station at Quantico and he was
coming to Washington to see the
sights.
Doctors say that if the poisoned
liquor he drank contained de-
natured alcohol in a large amount,
Martin may become totally blind.
There have been cases, it is said
where blindness would occur for
only a few days. 1t will be two or
nossibly three days before the
physicians in attendance can tell
for a certainty whether the nine
teen-year-old boy will be blind for
the remainder of his life or whether
he will recover his eyesight. e
Because the liquor was alleged
to have been bought on a train in
Virginia, Washington police are
not attempting to locate the vendor.
The case and all it's details will
he turned over to the Virginia au-
thorities and the officers at Guam

EVANSVILLE, Md:, Oct. 90
The recently organized fire depart

Georges county, has bought an up
to-date fire engine which has just
reached here from New York. "A

is planned at an early date.
A vigorous campaign looking to

been launched here and appears to

named a committee Of the town

G. Sherman James, chairman
Councilman Ernest Gasch and
Councilman LemueI L. Gray. This

It is believed that IL building

town limits to Mount Rainier does
not, for the most part, crowd

In addition to the argument that

Sentiment of Order.

Gathered In the HOUSE Of Sthe
Temple, Sixteenth and s streets,
northwest, the members Of the SUI
preme Council will today hold the
final session Of their biennial gath
ering.
That the Masons win stif1e any
tendency to link their order with
the Ku Klux Khan was evident
when the session yesterday accepted
the resignation OF Judge Fleming
Moore as a. member Of the council
and inspector general OF the Scot
fish Rite in Alabama.

Some of the Masons frankly stated
that Judge More was taken to &C.
count OF the use Of his weekly pub
Iication, The Fellowship Forum.
published in this city, to. further
the aims Of the Ku Klux Khan.
The Masons further contended that
the Fellowship Forum Is ostensibly
a Masonic paper and that it has.
no right to function as semi
official organ OF the Klu KIux Khan
Speaking unofficially, many Of
the prominent Masons pointed out
that Moore is the only Mason Of
national prominence who has
aligned himself with the Khan.
The council yesterday filled vacan-
cies in the offices Of the grand
prior, grand chancellor and gecre-
tary general. The resignation Of
Perry w. Weidner as secretary gen.
eral was accepted. The two other
vacancies were caused by deaths.

CALIFORNIA PARTRIDGES
ADDED TO N. Y. MUSEUM

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-A group OF
California valley partridge or "quail''
was added to the collection of birds
at the American Museum OF Natural
History today. Scientists pointed
out the curious trait of these birds
IL they nest more than once, in
which case the male was said to take
charge of the young Of the first
brood when they are about three
weeks old, while the female devotes
herself to the task Of incubating the
second one.
AS a game bird the valley part
ridge is not considered to rank with
the Eastern bob-w1ite or quail. It's
habit Of running instead of '.lying TO
dog" makes it's hunting uninterest-
ing to sportsmen.

history of the strike these gentle
men, the police commissioner and
the mayor still seem to deserve the
chief credit for having stopped the
strike nor has Calvin Coolidge ever
claimed that credit for himself.
Coolidge Has the Credit.
He nevertheless somehow has 1t
and the reason, as analysed, Is as
follows: The police commissioner
and the mayor moved when to
move seemed extreme" Coolidge
moved only when the growth OF
events and the growth of feelings
had brought it about that to move
seemed altogether natural and
normal" He accordingly avoided
being thought crusader" by the
mass of citizens and yet did pre-.
cisely what the crusaders" were
advocating and demanding.
The stroke of policy was in the
choice of the time at which the
thing was done. Coolidge was not
too soon and was not too late. He
did not heat the iron but he struck
1t before it cooled.
He now, it is thought in many
quarters, has allowed Governor Pin.
chot to heat the iron for him ex'
actly as he allowed the Boston pc.
lice commissioner and the Boston
mayor to heat 1t for him in 1919,
They were in subordinate positions.
He let them do all the preliminary
work as head of the State, he then
in his own way, took over their
labors and by his authority achieved
their purposes, tardily but very
firmly and altogether fully.
Bides His Time.
1t is claimed by his friends now
that he will sturdily strike the
Pinchot prohibition iron and get
the credit for being the blacksmith
while Pinchot will look like the
bellows boy. Pinchot's friends
claim that this result will moi
| happen because Pinchot, they say
is much smarter politically than Pc
lice Commissioner Curtis and Mayor
Peters in Boston were.
| In any case it is more and more
widely being seen here that the
Republican party nationally il
headed toward being extremely CRY
and that President Coolidge in an
preaching that prospect is precisei,
duplicating the tactics which in 1911!
gave him Massachusetts and in 1922
the Vice Presidency and the doc
