WOULD
Re DUCE
RATE Of
FARE
w. Mex. Clayton Asserts Peo-
pie Demand Full Crews
and Less "Bunk."

The Federation of Citizens As
ISOLATION today launched a vigor-
Gus attack against one-man. cars
in a petition filed by William
Mex. Clayton, chairman of the
federation's public utilities COM
mittee, with the Public Utilities
Commission.
Would Not Cut Fares.
Clayton declared that if the conn
mission felt that the duties that
now keep two men busy operating
car can be transferred to one
man and the car be more safely.
more conveniently and more speed
lily operated then the commission
should substitute one man cars
for every two man car now IN
operation.
1.-THE use OF the one man cars
as applied to the local street rail-
ways would not reduce fares. he
declares.
sThe propaganda persistently
enmanating from someone claiming
to be on the staff of the commits
sion that the cause of the one man
car finding favor here is that its
use would lead to an immediate
reduction in fares. is shop worn,
col5w ebbed bunk. appealing only to
the driveling idiocy Of senile age
or to the meaningless mouthings of
a babe in arms.
Clayton also says IL one man
cars is the best system, then pass
on the best thing in railroading
to Chevy Chase and Brightwood
and order these cars on the Four
teenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue lines
The federation representative re-
fers in his petition to statement
by William F. Ham, president of
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company, that substitution of
one man cars for two. man cars
on all his lines will mean no reduc-
ton in fare.
Full Crews Needed.
IT was understood today that the
Public Utilities Commission has de-
cided not to permit the operation of
any additional one-man cars than
are now in use. 1t is also said the
Commissioners are inclined to be
opposed to this system in view of
the widespread attacks made on it
by citizens.
Briefly, Clayton's arguments fol-
low:
The federation opposes use of
one-man cars on crowded streets
and congested car rails.
The two-man car can move no
faster than the one-rnan car.
The work of the motorman and
conductor on a two-man car is given
in detail
No reduction in fares viii come
even if one-man cars are used by
both the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and Capital Trac-
ton Company.
The use of one-man cars as an
economy is not needed by the two
railways companies.
Some sections of the city are dis
eliminated against by the use Of
one-man cars only on certain lines.
THE Washington public" says
CLAYTON, will be satisfied only with
cars operated by full crew-mo-
torman and conductor-and II 20
give them this service higher fares
are necessary, let the companies
amply. the commission grant, and
the riders pay.
There is also a suggestion that
court action may follow an increase
in fare because of the operation or
two-man cars.
Clayton refers to one-man cars IN
New York. pointing out that they
have a scent fare in that city.

marketing basis and the development
of a uniform nationwide policy for
the relief of agriculture were the two
major objects Of the conference held

between the national committee of

American Wheat Growers Associated,
according to Bruce Lampson, mana
ger of the Colorado Wheat Growers
association.
"The plan of the American Wheat
Growers Associated is to control the
price Of wheat by controlling the
handling of majority Of the Ameri-
can crop" Mr.. Lampson said. "a fair
price will be set on the grain and an
effort made to maintain a stable price
the year around. This plan will have

HALLOWEEN IS
CAUSE OF MUCH
EXCITEMENT
Streets of Julesburg Present
Weird Appearance This Morn
ing Following Franks of Hal
lowe'eners; Large Number In
Police Court Today

Installation of modern cement and
brick sidewalks, the elimination Of
picket fences and gates around resi-
dences and modern plumbing has
changed the character of Halloween.
The night is different.
II some of the elderly citizens were
asked to talk of the days of a genera
ton or so ago they might not care
to admit that they were "in it,, but
their experiences were many. II some
of them could be induced to talk, tales
of reversing of wagon wheels, turn
ing over wooden sidewalks, upsetting
sheds and outbuildings, might come
forth as some Of the remembrances.
The pulling of cabbage from the
ground and piling it in the front of
some store in the business district is
well remembered. The man who had
not pulled his cabbage by Halloween
suffered. The wise man took his gate
into the house. Vigilance of police,
and change of attitude has m e
Halloween a somewhat different af-
fair in most communities-and it is
just as we'll.
Last night was Halloween and this

and unfamiliar appearance, with an
accumulation of machinery, automo-
biles. cans, oil barrels, trucks. etc.,
which must have taken a considerable
amount of hard work and time to
gather up and move. 1t was the re-
suit of TIE Halloween marauders'
activities the night before.
Marshal Baxter and niRht-police-
man Jenkins were also busy last night
and as result some twenty-five
boys and young men, ranging in ages
from twelve years up, were ordered to
appear in police court this morning.
After lecture hv police Judge F. E..

Use of the Hallowe'eners to get busy

machinery, etc. from the streets and
return the same to where the differ
ent articles were taken from, they
were dismissed. The boys immedi-
ately got busy clearing the obstruct-
ed streets and by noon practically all
of the evidence Of Halloween mis-
chief had disappeared.
A crowd. although the object may
be all for fun, is likely to go too far.
Property may be damaged and some
one hurt. although there is no inten-
ton of such. 1t is just as well to OBJ
serve Halloween in safe and sane
manner. At any rate, Halloween is
over for another year in Julesburg,
and the "kids" have had their fun. AS
far as we can learn there was no dam
age done, SO all's well that ends well.

BARNES MAKING
GOOD DON COLLEGE
FOOTBALL TEAM
Former s. C. H. S. Athlete Wins
Undying Fame By 9O-Yard
Run In Recent Game; Is Star
On Augustana College Team
At Rock Island, Illinois

Clarence Shorty Barnes, former
football and basketball star of S. C.
H. s., and a member Of the class of
'23, who is now attending Augustana
college at Rock Island, ILL.,, is making
his mark in athletics in the eastern
school, as is evidenced by the follow
ing very complimentary article which
appeared in recent issue of a Rock
Island paper:
Smashing and tearing their way
through the beefy defense Of the Ma
comb Normal school, the Augustana
college varsity won its first gridiron
victory OF the season on Browning
field, Moline, yesterday, the final
count standing at 1S to IL.
"The victory is directly traceable to
the stellar work of Shorty" Barnes
diminutive Augie halfback, who played
the prettiest game that has been seen
in local collegiate circles for years
To him goes the credit for all three
Augie markers, his 90-yard run thru
the entire enemy team in the second
quarter being the big feature of a
game that was otherwise slow. due to
the muddy field.
1.-The NOrsemen experienced con-
siderable trouble in getting started,
the visitors chalking up two touch
downs before the home lads realized
the game was on.
"The first came in the first few
minutes of play, when Barclay receiv-
ed Heider's punt and ran 85 yards for
touchdown. A blocked punt gave
the Macomb eleven its second marker

the Augie goal. Goal attempts in
each case failed.
Barnes Enters Game
Barnes entered the Augie lineup
in the early part of the second quar-
ter, and brought undying glory to him.
self when he intercepted Russell's pass
in the final minutes of the first halt,
and outdistanced the entire Macomb
eleven in his 90-yard dash.
"The Colorado boy again showed
his ability in the third quarter when
he repeatedly went through for big
gains, climaxing his efforts with a A.
yard run through right-tackle, tax
ing the oval to the one-foot line, from
which "Map' Anderson carried it ov-
er on the next play.
"The third Augie marker was an
nexed in the final period when Barnes
evaded the field for a 33-yard dash
for a touchdown. Goal attempts in
each case failed, the slippery condi-
tion of the field making good kicking
impossible. The game ended with the
ball on Macomb's one-foot line, where
it had been carried by Barnes, Larson
and Viner. Another minute of play
would undoubtedly have resulted in a
fourth touchdown for the Norsemen." "
