Police Seek 'Forgetful'' Timer Who Takes
Spouts OFF Houses and Fails to Return

Police are searching for a forget
ful' timer.
Some Is or 20 reports during the last
few months have come into various
precincts concerning q man who fixes
leader pipes" the down-spout gutter
ings from roofs, and during the opera
ton, after receiving his pay for the
Job, walks off with the pipes, forgetting
to return.
The general scheme Of operations,
according to Inspector Henry G. Pratt,
is for the absent-minded artisan, de-
scribed as a jolly looking sort of a
stout man. to walk through a neigh
borhood, size up the defective leader
pipes, and obtain jobs at repairing or
replacing them at about half the regu'
lar rates. He generally finishes in a
day, collects his fee for the work, and
then returns the next day with the
information that he had not finished
at all. but had just left the job up
over night in case of rain, and now
would finish up the soldering and in

NEW SUBSTATI0N SITE
EXPLAINED BY MOONEY
Postmaster Says Other West End
Locations Are Beyond Price
Reach.

Answering a number of objections
raised by merchants of the vicinity
to the removal in the near future of
the West End post Office substation
from 1716 Pennsylvania avenue to
1925 H street, Postmaster Mooney to-
day pointed out that other locations
nearer the present Office were un-
available because of their cost.
Removal of the post office station
from it's present quarters, Mr.. Mooney
said, was made necessary because of
the great growth in the volume of
mail passing through the Office.
The selection of the new site on III
street, the city postmaster said, was
made only after a thorough personal
survey by him of all possible locations
in the section. Available buildings on
Seventeenth street above Pennsyl-
vania avenue, or along the Avenue
itself, could not be obtained at a price
within reach of the department, he
said.
The Post Office Department, 1t also
was pointed out, already has awarded
the contract for the building OF the
new Office and construction will start
in the near future.

.FLEHARTy OPPOSES
BUSFARE HEARING
Peoples Counsel to Fight
Move to Reopen 10-Cent
Charge Proposal.

Ralph B. Fleharty, peoples counsel
before the Public Utilities Commission,
announced his intention today Of OPP
posing the petition of the Washing
ton Rapid Transit Co. for resump-
ton Of the public hearings on its ap-
plication for authority to charge a
straight 10.cent cash fare.
The application will be considered
by the commission at its semi-weekly
meeting Thursday. Mr.. Fleharty pro-
poses to offer his objection then.
The hearings on the higher fare
application were suspended last NO
vember when the legality of the trans
action by which the North American
Co. of New York CANA into possession
of the controlling interest of the motor
bus company was questioned by VII.
liam Nick. Clayton, chairman of the
public utilities committee of the Fed
seration of Citizens Associations. At
that time the commission served motive
on the company that 1t would not pro-
ceed with the case until this onus
had been removed.
Company Fails to Act.
The company, however, has taken
no definite steps to satisfy the COM
mission that its acquisition by the
New York investment firm was not
in violation of the statutes governing
the sale and purchase of public
utility stock as prescribed In the
La Toilette anti-merger act. And in
view of the unchanged status, Mrs
Fleharty contends that the company
still has no standing with the COM
mission and most certainly no right
to ask for consideration of Its plea
for a higher fare.
Mr.. Fleharty believes the company
and not the commission should make
the first move to clarity the situa-
ton. His suggestion is that the COM
pany go to Congress and get specific
permission for. as he puts 1T. doing
the things it already has done"
Should the commission approve ms
position and deny the company's petl-
ton for resumption of the rate hear
ings Mr.. Fleharty feels that the COM
pany will take the case to the courts
and institute mandamus proceedings.
Admittedly, the company is hard
pressed financially. The rate or re-
turn. Il had advised the commission,
continues to fall far short of the oper-
ating expenses, thereby incurring an
eyer-increasing deficit. AS a result,
the company said, 1t has been unable
to provide adequate transportation
facilities. 1t sees in a straight 10-cent
cash fare it's only salvation.

CHIROPRACTORS' LAW
In LOUISIANA UPHELD
Supreme Court Sustains Statutes
Requiring Qualifications of Ply
sicians and Surgeons.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Louisiana medical practice
statutes. particularly those sections
regulating the practice of chiroprac-
tors, were sustained by the Supreme
Court yesterday in three cases APP
pealed by Joseph B. and Walter w.
Fife, the decision appealed from being
affirmed on authorities cited without
a written opinion.
The Louisiana courts sustained the
statutes and enjoined the Flies from
practicing without a license from the
State Medical Board. They ignored
the injunction and were held in con-
tempt OF court, and were also con-
victed on the charge of violating the
statutes.
They attacked the validity. of the.
statutes on the ground that chiroprac-
tors were arbitrarily required to have
the qualifications of physicians and
surgeons, although they never pre-
scribe drugs or use surgery. They
contended that other practitioners, in
Guiding osteopaths, were not so classi-
fed, but were licensed upon a showing
of special qualifications, not being re-
quired to meet those imposed upon
physicians and surgeons.

householders allow him to continue
his work an dtake down the leader
pipe, whereupon he removes it and
fails to return.
This is the gist of some dozen and
a half of complaints in the hands of
the police. For instance, Wade Koontz
of 1921 jefferson street, in the thir-
teenth precinct. had this rotund tin
ner working on his down-spout some
time ago. Recently neighbor, across
the street needed some similar worn
done. And Koontz's leader-pipe had not
been painted. The timer took down
the Koontz rain-spout, ostensibly to
paint it and tighten up any loose ends.
Later Koontz saw q down-spout across
the street that looked like his own. He
reported it to the thirteenth precinct.
The ninth precinct, it was said, has
received eight reports of such opera
tions, the others being scattered about
town. The man is known to the police
and an early arrest is expected.
