gold obtained during his career as

WALLAROOS AND RARE.
PIGEONS REACH zoo.
Horn-Beaked Birds Come From
Australia and Kangaroos
From New Guinea.

Two valuable acquisitions have
been added to the Zoo this week--a
pair Of horn-beaked fruit pigeons of
an almost extinct species from New
Guinea and pair of wallaroos from
Australia.
The former, known scientifically as
globicera paciffc1. is an exceptionally
large grayish-green pigeon obtained
from the collection OF a California
fancier who is engaged in collecting
and preserving bird species that are
nearing extinction in various parts of
the world.
The wallaroos are a variety of
kangaroo notable for the fact that
the male is almost black while the fe.
male is almost white. The kangaroo
collection at the zoo has alraost dis.
appeared during the past few years
and DR.. William NJ Mann, Zoo direc-
tor, seeks to rebuild it.
There now are few kangaroos in
the United States, due to a peculiar
disease which seems to sweep peri
odically through zoo and circus col.
lections. This kangaroo epizootic an.
parently now has run it's course in
Washington, leaving Of the old col
lection only a pair of rock wallabys.

PREPARATION URGED
FOR 8 PUBLISHERS
Alleged Overcharge on News
print Shipments Affects
Washington Firms.

A recommendation that reparation
be awarded eight publishing COM
panies Of Washington by the Balfi-
more & Ohio Railroad on alleged over
charge on shipments of newsprint
paper between New York, New Eng
land and Canadian producing points
to Washington was placed before the
Interstate Commerce Commission to.
day by Examiner Morris III. Konigs-
berg. The rates attacked, for which
reparation was recommended today,
were in effect for the two years prior
to September s. 1923.
The publishing companies who
would benefit under the recommended
PREPARATION are The Evening" Star
Newspaper Co., Washington Post Co.,
Washington Times Co., Washington
Daily Newspaper Co., Washington
Herald Co., Pathfinder Publishing Co.,
National Tribune Co. and Capper's
Weekly.
The commission found several
months ago that the rates assailed
were unreasonable to the extent that
they exceeded the rates to Baltimore,
Nd, by more than 3 cents per 100
pounds from Philadelphia, Pa. and 2
cents per 100 pounds from other
points of origin.
The total amount of the reparation
recommended was not given. nor were
the amounts Of the alleged oyercharge
named.
The compliments, the report said,
presented evidence which shows they
paid and bore the charges on the
newsprint shipments in question un.
der contracts which called for delivery
to be made by the manufacturer to
the purchaser on board cars at the
mill of the manufacturer.
The commission should find" the
examiner said, that the respective
parties whose names are hereinbefore
set forth were damaged to the amount
of the difference between the charges
paid and those which would have ac-
crued at the rates therein found rea-
sonable; and that they are entitled
to PREPARATION with interest"
The defending railroad, the ex-
aminer said, took the position that
no reparation should be awarded re-
gardless OF whether or not the COM
planning parties prove they paid and
bore any of the charges under the
assumption that the proceedings were
in the nature of a general readjust.
ment of rates and that under the cir
cumstances the commission does not
make an award Of reparation.

Gary Tries One-Man
Car System at Risk
of Passengers Lives
(sy a Worker correspondent.)


GARY, Ind.-New cars, operated
by one man, have made their appear
ance on the Hammond Gary line. The
Gary Street Railway Co. is compell-
ing one man to do the work of two,
for few additional cents a day.
The one-man car system is causing
much dissatisfaction not only among
the carmen but among the passengers.
The system is the cause of delays in
transportation. The company does
not care, for the patrons are mostly
workers and are not to be seriously
considered. Not only is much time
lost to the passengers, but the lives
of people are endangered in riding on
these cars. There is a great increase
in the possibility of accidents while
taking on and letting off passengers
and at the numerous and dangerous
grade railroad crossings.
There is a strong feeling here that
the street railway company must not
be allowed to continue on the one
nan plan of operation and thereby
sndanger the lives of It's patrons.

The conditions OF work in some Of

Such conditions must not be per-
