'STORES MAY RUN
BUSES FOR TRADE

Establishment of a motor bus line
to bring customers into the congested
and one-way-street area from points
just outside is to be proposed to the
board Of governors of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association at
its meeting Wednesday, Charles j. CO.
lumbus, secretary, said today. The
matter will be brought by the head
of large business in the congested
area. he said, and it will be pro-
posed that the line be run by the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation.
Inauguration of such a service is
considered by some of the merchants,
according to Secretary Columbus, as
necessary to counteract the effect on
business OF the one-way traffic
scheme which is to be placed in
force next month, upon completion
OF the thirty-day notice already
given by the Commissioners.
Fear LOSS of Business.
IF the Commissioners insist on their
regulation to maintain the one-way
chants feel that it will keep people
from coming downtown to shop. They
feel, according to Mr.. Columbus, their
business will be so materially de-
creased that it will pay to install a
bus line to bring prospective Gus
toners from the all-day parking and
two-way streets and down to the
many stores in the business section.
AS all of the merchants will profit
posed that the merchants association
undertake the operation of such a
line.
Details will be considered by the
board of governors of the merchants
association at it's meeting next week.
Just how the persons who would ride
on 1t could be controlled, it was ex-
planned, would have to be worked out
later. as. it was pointed out, unless
there was some method of controlling
any one coming downtown could get
on one of the busses, whether they
proposed to purchase anything at any
of the stores or not.
Oppose One-Way Streets.
According to Mr.. Columbus the
merchants feel keenly the proposal to
make permanent some of the tempo
rary one-way streets. A meeting
was held yesterday at the Raleigh
Hotel to take up the matter, at which
twenty-eight persons were present
There were people who have busi-
| nesss on the proposed one-way
streets who favored them and Others
who protested. but the particular
protest noted there was against per-
sons who park down town all day in
one place.
More traffic policemen downtown, in
order to enforce the limited parking
ordinance. is to be pressed by the as

Bootleg Brides
Plan Proposed to

NEW YORK, June 14.-News of
the New Jersey rum fleet has pene-
trated into Syria. whence comes a
novel suggestion of bootleg brides"
The Near East Relief announced
today that a delegation of leading
residents OF Sidon recently called
on Mrs. Florence Stanton Kalk of
Omaha, director of a girls orphan
age in the Syrian city. and pro-
posed that the Near East Relief

girls to the three-mile limit.
The delegation suggested that
New Workers could come out to the
ship, select a free bride, be mar
ried there and take their wives
back with them as citizens of the
United States, to whom immigration
quotas do not apply.
The delegates said they had
heard of rum row, and that they
believed IL Americans took such
trouble to get their liquor they
would take equal pains to get
handsome and capable wives. The
suggestion was not accepted.

GAS RATES IN D. c.
PROBEDBY EXPERTS

The Public Utilities Commission has
begun an informal investigation to
determine whether the Washington
and Georgetown Gas Light compa nies
are earning more than a reasonable
return on the present rate of $1.05
per thousand cubic feet of gas.
For the calendar year 1922 the COM
panies earned a return of 740 per
cent on the commissions valuation of
$13,060,262. This Is not regarded by
accountants of the commission as ex-
cessive, but they are inquiring now
into the business done during the
twelve-month period beginning with
last June and coming up to the pres
ent time.
11.92 Per Cent Earned.
The records of the commission
show that for the first four months
Of this calendar year the gas COM
panies reported a return of 1872 per
cent on the value of the property.
Officials of the commission point
out that January, February, March
and April represent the cream of the
years business When the summer
months are included the average re-
turn may be lower.
Oil Price Drops.
Oil. one OF the largest ingredients
used by the Washington Gas Light Com
pany, Is now costing the company ap-
proximately cents per gallon. When
the present rate of s1.05 was fixed for
gas in March, 1922. the testimony showed
the company was paying between and
s cents a gallon for oil
The Maryland public service commits
sion yesterday announced a reduction
in the price of gas in Baltimore. Off
cials of the local commission say that
gas rates in Washington and Baltimore
are difficult to compare, however. for
the reason that large part Of the Mon
umental city's supply Of gas is a by
product from the Sparrow Point steel
plant.

SOFIA. June 14.-One of the first

LINK WESTERN TRIP
WITH SECOND TERM
Political Experts Attach
Great Importance to e.
feet on President.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Harding is preparing in
advance many of the speeches he is
to deliver on his western trip and
there is plenty of advice being volun-
teered as to what he should say and
how he ought to say it.
All of the presidential contingent
hereabouts. which includes not only
persons in official life, but the polit-
ical advisers high in the councils of
the republican party, look upon the
western trip as an affair of par
amount political Importance. The
President himself has tried TO soft
pedal the political side and keep his
trip and speeches on a non-partisan
basis. but the talk in Washington
constantly is of the effects of the
Journey on the possible renomination
and reelection Of Mr.. Harding
Bet on Harding.
Right now the feeling inside the
presidential circle is one OF conf
dence. A few days ago one or two
men in the group of a betting disposi-
tion wagered $1,000 that Harding
would be renominated and reelected
Somebody in New York took the other
end of the bet at even money. 1t is a
small incident, but it does illustrate
how some of the Presidents friends
feel about the outcome.
Strangely enough. much of the con-
fidence about the ultimate success of
President Harding is based upon a
! belief that the opposition to him Will
not be effective. Republicans watch
democrats and make their own an
father to the thought, the truth is the
| republicans think the democratic
party will not be a harmonious affair
| in the next campaign, and that the
candidate chosen will not have the
united support of the party
Whether this is because no one mar
seems to be in the lead for the demo
cratic nomination or whether tht
split over the wet and dry issue viii
prevent the nomination of strong
enough candidate is hard to say. but
the republicans do expect the demo
Gratis to do the worst thing instead o!
the best thing. Such an expectation
| is logical from republican sources. bu
at present it is fact that the demo
Gratis are disorganized and that LOT
of work will have to be done before
a crusading candidate able to make c
popular appeal. not only to demo
Gratis, but to republicans, will catch
the ina gination of the voters and de
tract from the Harding strength.
Prosperity of Country.

publican confidence just now IS >baseo
