Can a City Do Without Street Car Service? Akron
Finds Out-Autos Replace Trolleys in Fare Fight
Many WaIk-Stores Offer
Free Taxi Service-Ford
Takes Interest,
BY HAROLD B T
NEA Ga~..;oa Cf1Af T-s

H7KRON, Ohio, Feb. 8.-Can an
TAI American city of 200, 600 per-
-9 son get along without street
cars?
Akron is finding out.
Mayor D. C. Rybolt was elected
on a promise he would retain a 8.
cent fare.
The traction company announced
it would have TO quit operating
unless granted permission to in
crease its fare from 5 to Z cents.
Then quit" said the mayor.
And the company did.
So z25 automobiles, including 100
Fords sent from Detroit on the
request of H. S. Firestone, Akron
tire man, were drafted into service.
Heal.hful, Anyway
Strengthening autos came in
from everywhere, responding to Ry-
bolts call for help.
Men were accosted on the street,
Can you drive an auto?' and If
they could. were given a job at the
wheel of a bus.
Keep half Of what you take in,"
they We're told.
Half Of the town walked.
The city health officer issued a
statement assuring the citizens that
WALKING is a healthful habit"
Downtown stores advertised free
taxi service to shoppers.
Women's clubs cancelled all meet
inpS DURING tho -faWoA--a1arv -
wishing to risk themselves at night
with strange drivers"
Ford Interested?
The weatherman made it warm.
Mayor Rybolt talks of tearing up
the tracks.
There are rumors Henry Ford and
H. s. Ffrestone are interested in
making the experiment a success.
But the Akronite refuses to look
upon the situation as anything but
a good joke.
When il gets cold again. he
says. well be glad to drag out the
street cars, even at 7 cents!"
Petitions are being circulated by
the 800 street car emp.oyes asking
the mayor to compromise. Political
wiseacres say he will have to give
IN.
AkrOnites Disagree
Every citizen in Akron has his
own ideas about the auto bus as d
substitute for street carr
I'D rather walk" declares Mrs.
j. w. Schade. Akron social worker.
than ride in a crowded jitney."
The sentiment of those who are
satisfied with the new transportation
service is perhaps expressed by II.
C. Evans, a Goodrich factory office
clerk.
This bus thing is a diamond in
the rough" he asserts. ut may need
polishing, but you wait a couple of
weeks and see it at its best. In the
meantime I am willing to suffer a
little inconvenience"

I'VE Just want to know what he

member Of the committee. 1t was
said, however, information bad been
obtained by the committee warrant
ing the calling OF Shaffer.
Attack on Bruce
Walsh attacked Senator Bruce,
Democrat, Maryland, who yesterday
opposed the DENLY resolution.
II can understand why certain
| Senators should go into hysteria in
their references to Magma Charta. I
can understand why Republican Sen.
ators should cry lynch law and in
dulge in mock heroics. But that the
! Senator from Maryland should agree
with them is a riddle for the sphinx"
Senator Borah suggested that II

II so, whether he accepted a bride or
not. he could be impeached. Borah

1t would be difficult to prove.
Claimed Prior Contract
Some time after the Teapot Dome
lease was sigred an acquaintance Of
mine. Leo Stack, showed me a con
tract he had" Bonfls said. "He
claimed 1t was a prior contract and
that the Sinclair lease had been
granted over his head"
IT had my attorney look over
Stacks contract and thought 1t legal.
so I entered a contract with Stack
under which we were to give him the
first $50, 900 and we would divide the
remainder between my partner and
my attorney.
II heard a good many rumors, so
/ concluded to send a man to New
Mexico to investigate.
Sent Post Reporter
II sent Mr.. Stackelback, a reporter,
and he came back with an astounding
story. He was cautioned especially
not to disclose his identity or to quote
those from whom ne obtained the
story.
THE managing editor, Mr.. Shop
pard and / talked it over with Mr..
Bottoms, my counsel. We decided
the articles should not be printed be-
cause they were hbelous.
w then ran a long article attack
ing tho Sinclair lease under the most
conspicuous caption we had.
MIR, Zevely, Sinclair's attorney,
came out to see US and invited us to
New York to see Mr.. Sinclair. 1t was
about July 4, 1922 when we went to
see Mr.. Sinclair.
Mr.. Sinclair told us ~brusquely I
don't know why you came here so
went back to Colorado.
Brought Suit On Contract
I'm the meantime we bad brought
suit against the Midwest Oil Company
and other companies to carry out our
contract with Stack.
Later we met Sinclair in Oklahoma
City and made a contract by which ne
was to pay as $3.50. 900 and give us
twenty acres of and in the Teapot
Dome. This vas because of our claim
through the Stack contract.
Sinclair aid later ne would oper-
ate Our acreage because he didn't

First Hour

Trading lapsed into dullness at the
end Of the first hour when pro-
fessional traders found they were
making no Roadway in their attempt
to start a general reaction. Too many
stocks on the recession to permit of
any pronounced bear market develop

suggested that many traders who had
missed their market on the rise from
par, were taking a long position on
the current irregulars.
