Foster Additional Service.

The motor bus was defined as an

convention of an agreement reached
several weeks ago by representatives

The industry has developed no

apd 1t was held that electric railway
companies should provide both bus
and electric car service essential to
good public service with protection
against competition when so doing.
Buses should be regulated as common
carriers, the agreement said, and both
buses and electric railways should
bear proportionate taxes.
Joint Agreement Formulated.
The agreement was drafted Jointly
by the Automobile Chamber of Com

In the early days of accident pre-
vention work in industry in the
United States IL was assumed that the
larger number of the accidents were
due to improperly guarded trans
mission systems. Modern accident pre-

that S5 per cent Of all Industrial ac-

WITNESS REVEALS
OFFER BY STOKES
Says $1,000 Was to Be Paid
in Tracing Mrs. Stokes
Chicago Life.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, February 1S.-Benjamin
Harrison, negro bathhouse attendant,
testified today in the trial of w. r. D.
Stokes, charged with conspiracy to
defame his wife, Helen Ellwood
Stokes, that Stokes offered him $4,000
for investiga tions relating to a wom-
an named Helen.
Harrison said Stokes told him it
would be difficult to trace the woman,
as she had been known as Helen Ell
wood, Helen Underwood and other
names Harrison said that at Stokes
direction he went to Denver; that he
also consulted marriage records in
Chicago to ascertain whether Il wom-
an bearing one of the names had, as
Stokes suggested, married AL Austin,
a .saloon man."
Inquiry Is Ordered.
The State read into the record a
letter under 1920 date identified by
Harrison as a letter from Stokes bid
ding him to make inquiry at a house
insChicago.
Harrison was instructed ITO ask
What kind of "a house it was in 1915
and 1916, whether white or colored"
and whether any of the occupants
we're named wv. K. Underhill. Helen
Underwood - Mrs. Stokes - Harris,
Mrs. Sargent. Billig, Miller
Hal Billig was named by Stokes as
a Correspondent in his divorce suit in
New York. Miller is the name of Mrs.
Stokes stepfather. ........... ..
The same letter purported to tell
Harrison to examine birth records to
learn whether a child was born to
Helen Underhill or Helen Ellwood"
in 1908.
Find out what Al Austin married
our Helen" was a line in another let
ter on Stokes stationery and identi-
fled by Harrison as written to him
by Stokes.
Suggests Fraud.
The theory that our Helen's see
ing Al Austin's body at the under
takers was fake so she could get
ready to marry somebody else" was
suggested in one letter.
"You say" said one letter. you
are going to send me a picture of
Helen Underwood, given by her to
her maid at the Eyerleigh Club. Who
is giving YOU the picture? You will
beg well paid if you get US the right
picture, bat ] think you are getting
us the wrong picture. You see, we
are working with other people, and
we know"
Harrison said he sent the picture
tosStokeS, but he said it was not the
right one and sent it back.
LENA Sims has some pictures of
Mrs. Stokes" said another letter, "and
don't be fooled by her into getting the
wrong picture"
Find out all YOU can about all the
Al Austins who ever died in Chica go"
said another letter. according to
information received today, one of
them married our HeIen.l
The correspondence said that Har-
risonS mission was to obtain "evi-

FIRE PREVENTION
 SUGGESTIONS
 OFFERED BY CHIEF

Fire Prevention Week is a nation wide campaign to reduce the ever mounting national ash heap; to keep our city beautiful and unmarred by the backened ruins of a conflagra- ton, or perhaps the loss of precious lives. We ask you to give thought to measures of safety.
 Winter is approac ching Heating our homes becomes a necessity. that this may be done. with the least pos sible danger, will you please before attempting to use your furnace and see to it that the chimney is as sound and have it cleaned of all soot, see that the pipe leading to the chimney is in good condition, and remove from the premises all waste, rags, paper, and accumulations of every sort.
 Look at electric connections and if imperfect have them remedied at once, see that no wires are hung upon nails or metal hoks of any kind.
 Carelessness is the cause of more fires than any of us can imagine. A small fire may develop into conf1a- grafton which endangers the lives of our dear ones and the destruction of valuable property.
 We have been very fortunate for the past few years, but from now on let us not trust to luck, let us elim- mate the cause.
 An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of ashes.

GAME FOR STOCKING KODIAK lS- LAND GNAW THROUGH
 CAGES AND ESCAPE.

A game hunt took place on the Admiral Watson last night, while the vessel was en route from COrdoVa to Seward, according to passengers arriving in port this morning, for a number of beavers, which are being taken to Kodiak to stock the island, chewed their several ways from out the pens, and for some hours romp- ed free about the ship. Instead of guns, however, gunny sacks were used in hunting the pesky animals which, in the due course of time, were all bagged and put back in new boxes.
 W. H. Casswell druggist of Cor dova, also a member of the Terri torial Biological Survey, is in GUS tody of the pesky animals, which number twenty-three beaver and sev- en muskrat. This shipment to Ko- diak where they will be liberated by Carl Armstrong and Terry White, completes the final shipment of game stocking animals for this season. There have been three cOnsignments from the Cordova area to the island this year.

PIRATES MISS
 HEAVY BAT OF
 JOHN RAWLINGS
BRILLIANT JOHNNY RAWLiNG BROKE LEG MONTH AGO
 HOOKING BASE

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct 9. (P- Johnny Rawlings, one of his legs broken in his never ending efforts to carry his team to the front, is viewing the World Series battles from the grand stand.
 The Pirate owe much to the little second baseman who arose to great heights in the crucial series in New York which saw the Giants collapse for the first time in five years. His fielding was sensational, his batting timely, and we'll it might be, for it was on that same baseball field in New York, the Polo Grounds, that Johnny Rawlings was recognized as the greatest player of the World Se- ries.
 Little Johnny was a member of the Giant forces then, even at that time a veteran whom the Braves had cast adrift With Boston he failed to scintilate for there was little oppor- unity for starring in such club as the Braves produced after the hal cyon days of 1914. But his time came and he took full advantage of it. His bat and fielding were big factors in the first Giant victory over the Yankees.
 Rawlings might we'll be termed a money player, for it has been in the crucial moments that he has risen 10 his best. He will be missed when the Pirates go into the World Se- ries, although Eddie Moore, now scheduled for the position, is ca pablo fielder and heavy hitter.
 Johnny was injured at Forbes Field while sliding in a base, only a few weeks ago. In the morning hehad been at the Oakmont Country Club, a fan himself before the golf prowess of the national amateur champion, Bobby Jones.
 Rawlings obtained his degree in law at Leland Stanford University before entering professional baseball. He was born in Bloomfield, Iowa, in
