LACK Of CASH ENDS
SAFETY COUNCIL
D. C. Group Disbands When
Appeal Fails to Bring
Response.

Lack Of moral and financial sup
suited in the Washington Safety
Council disbanding yesterday. The
organization passed out of existence
by vote of the executive commit
tee at a meeting in the rooms of
the Chamber of Commerce.
This means the end of the cam
paign of education the council has
carried on for eighteen months to
keep constantly before the public
mind the necessity for both pedes-
trian and motorist exercising care on
the streets.
In the absence of a municipal ap-
propriation. the council obtained
private funds with which to keep the
white lanes for pedestrians painted
at all downtown intersections.
On every busy corner big posters
We're displayed. carrying a different
Safety-firSt message each month. A
school for the instruction of novice
chauffeurs was conducted with not
able success and d dozen other meth
DDS of preventing accidents were pur-
sued.
The council, however, needed finan-
cial support as well as moral indorse-
ment to contine this service OF COM
munity education. The District Com
missioners two days ago issued a
proclamation praising what the
council has done in the past and
urging citizens and organizations to
advise the council as to whether 1T
should continue to function. The de-
ciSion of the executive committee
yesterday indicates that the response
was not encouraging.
special committee will meet
today to wind up the affairs of the
council. AS to the painting of white
lines on the streets, the Commission
ers expect to have funds for that
purpose when Congress passes the
second deficiency bill in December.

REQUEST IS ARGUED
Baltimore and Washington Pub
fishers Completing Plea
for Cut.

Setting of a reason able and lowered
rail rate on shipment of newsprint
ink from mill points in New England
to consumers in Washington and
Baltimore was asked today, the third
day of hearing before the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the COM
plant brought by associated Wash
ington and Baltimore publishers
urging a lower rate on paper cores
as well as ink. Examiner Fleming
concluded hearings on paper cores
late yesterday.
T d. Geoghegan. traffic manager
for the Washington Publishers AsSo-
citation. took the stand today in de-
fense of rate schedule which he
proposed, asking that the rail rate
from mill points in New En- gland to
consuming points here and in Balti-
more be made the New England
sixth-class rate, which would consid-
erably reduce the annual freight bill
of the Washington and Baltimore
publishers.
Mr. Georghegan was expected to
finish his testimony early this after
noon, and the railroads, with the
Baltimore and Ohio and the Algoma
and Hudson Bay named as respond
ents, were expected to introduce

bers Of his committee have made several
overtures to Gen. Muir, who made his
decision yesterday. two days before his
retirement from the Army.
Last year the Marines had the choice
and brought the game to Washington.
This year it was the Army's choice and
because Baltimore was the home town
of the Sd Corps Area some very definite
objection to that city had to be found
before the game could be brought to this
city.
Washington. Philadelphia and Balti
more were the cities that made repre-
sentation to Gen. Muir for the game this
year In his letter to Mr.. Cans, Gen.
Muir declared his regrets at having to
refuse the chambers request, and de-
clared that the Army would not forget
the reception and entertainment given
to them by Washingtonians last year.

This New Treatment

Many sufferers from Piles or
Hemorrhoids have become despon-
dent because they have been led to
believe that their case was hopeless
and that there was nothing in the
world to help them.
To these people we say, eco to
your druggist and get an original
box of MOAVA EUPPOSITORIES'
One of these inserted into the rec
tum according to directions will be
found 10 give immediate relief.
They reach the source of the trou-
bic and by their soothing, healing,
antiseptic action first allay the pain
and soreness and then by direct con
tact with the ulcers and piles cause
them to heal up and disappear for
ever.

comes in two days. Even in cases
that have steadily resisted all known
treatments, marvellous results have
been obtained.

had been to Calexico on several oc-
casions, said the agent, and had
seen FL Original with the date line
of Mexicali, b. c. He thought pre-
viously it was published there, but
he found out later it was published
| in the American city. He watched
| the newsboys taking the paper
straight out of the office in Calex-
| leo, where it was printed, and start
selling the paper on the American
, ternational boundary.
The publications were then read
by the judge and notices regarding
tequilla were marked. Copies Of
the English camorous paper Punch
pere produced, showing that it was
entered as second class matter in
the United States, and came into
the country wholesale, being sent
out from New York through the
mail. The Sporting Times,- on sale
throughout the United States, con-
tanning several advertisements of
famous brands of Scotch whiskey
was produced.
Many Are Offenders
L. s. Commissioner Whitelaw was
of opinion that anyone selling for
eign papers which contained liquor
advertisements were liable to be
prosecuted, there being hundreds Of
such publications sent out whole
sale in the United States. He took
it that the law required the paper
to be mailed direct to the subscriber
for whom it was intended.
Agent Cass pointed out that El
Regional was sold in quantities to
news vendors right opposite the Ca
lexico shop where it was printed, no
attempt being made to carry the
paper before distribution across the
line.
Attorney Blaisdell held that was
no fault of the publisher if he. sent
the boys with the papers into Mex
leo and they sold them off before
the line was reached. He quoted
authorities to show the law relating
to publication.
Both cases were continued for
week to enable Attorney Blaisdell
to submit his authorities in a brief,
the bail of Silver still holding good.
Agent Cass stated during the
hearing of the cases that the war
rant against Jose G. Herrera, pub
Usher of La Frontier, had not been
served, as the publisher had moved
into Mexicali and had not crossed
the line since.
