STANDING ROOM AT
 H. 5. DUEL ASSURED
Point Disputed at School Board Meeting Settled Today
DECISION IS FAVORABLE
Special Committee Meets With Prin- cipal Sladc and Decides to Allow 3o0 10 Enter by Paying Admission Price at Field.

The dispute on whether standing room should be sold at the N. E. II. S,-H. r. II. $. football game at Will low Brook park was settled this
 morning when Principal l.. r. Slade was authorized 10 place on sale not more than $50 standing room tickets when all seats have been disposed of, the price 10 be the same as for bleaChcr seats.
 After an hours discussion at yes terday's meeting, the board was un- able to reach a decision, and Com
 mittcemcn William II. Day and James J. Butler were appointed by
 Chairman Patrick F. King to confer
 today with Principal Sladc and Supt,
 Stanley H. Holmes. The meeting took place this morning at Mir. Holmes office and the vote to have standing room accommodations was unanimous.
 Principal Slade announced that several hundred desirable seats re-
 main unsold and these will be dis posed of before football fans are al lowed to stand in the aislcs. The po- lice guard at the aisles will be strengthened so there will be no blocking of the view Of seat holders. Brought Before School Board Practically every member of the
 school committee, at the meeting 1 yesterday afternoon, took a definite stand on the question as to whether
 or not tickets for standing room should be sold at the game at Me morial field this afternoon and q warm discussion took place. | The proposition, proposed by Con- mittccman Butler, was that 200 , tickets be sold for standing room after the game had started and everyone who had a reserved seat i had taken his place. He said the [ extra $2O0 would be a great aid to the school athletic authorities in i caring for expenses.
 . He motioned that this procedure be followed and Secretary Henry T. 1 Burr seconded the motion, declaring i he could see no harm in il.
 At this point Committeeman s. l Gerard Casalc said:
 ! II have five tickets for the game. | I am afraid I may be late and l ! don't want to take any chances Of
 having the places gone. If we al 1 low standing room we are bound to i have bona tide complaints from peo- 1 pie who purchase tickets and feel i they should have seating accommo- dations. The public is spending a lot of money on this game and we must take that into consideration Committeeman Butler answered.: Ultimately the criticism that may come from persons who cannot ob- 1 tain admission and who see whole
 aislcs without an occupant will come
 10 the school committee. We are re-
 sponsihlc. l don't favor lndiscriml-
 nate sale of standing room. but only so much as can be accommodated in ! in the aiGlos We arc going to pay
 about 60 per cent of the entire po-
 lice force to be on hand. and if they
 cannot handle the crowd, then l wonder what they are going to be there for

HAM IS PREPARED
TO REMODEL CARS
Voluntarily Offers to Modern
ize All Old Vehicles of
One-Man Type.

A voluntary offer to modernlZe all
the old type one man cars in opera
ton on the lines of the Washington
Railway & Electric Co. was made to
the Public Utilities Commission yes
terday by William F. Ham, president
of the company.
The offer was made in connection
with the company's answer 10 the
recent order of the commission direct
ing that the one-man cars on the
Anacostia line either be remodeled or
replaced with two-man cars. IN
obedience to this order. Mr.. Ham SAID
The company had decided to purchase
12 new one-man cars of the type IN
operation on the Wisconsin avenue
line to replace the same number OF
the old single entrance cars, Whlch
are to be retired from service, in ad-
dition to undermining the 10 remain
ing one-man cars on the Anacostla
line. The II new cars will cost
S195 900.
After these improvements are made
on the Anacostia line. Mr. Ham said.
81 old type one-man cars would still
be in service on other lines and that
it was the intention of his company
to equip them with automatic rear
exits and double front doors and re-
paint them. The cost of this work
he estimated would amount to S35,65O.
All of the one-man cars under the
modernization program will be given
the same color scheme in order to
distinguish them from the tWo-man
cars.

EXTRADITION RIGHTS
QUESTIONED IN APPEAL
Counsel for Woman Wanted in
Massachusetts Denies District
Justices Authority.

The question of the right of the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court OF
the District fo Columbia to sit as an
administrative officer in eXtradition
cases has been placed before the Court
of Appeals for decision, with the filing
of a brief by United States District
Attorney Peyton Gordon and his as
sistant, Neil Burkinshaw, in the case
of Mrs. Myra G.. Hill.
Mrs. Hill is wanted by the Massachu-
setts authorities to stand trial on
charges of fraud in connection with
real estate deals in that State. She
was ordered returned and appealed
Her counsel, Miss c. Larimore Kee-
ley, challenged the authority of the
chief justice here to sit in the capacity
of the governor, contending that he
is a judicial officer and as such cannot
act in an executive matter. Appel
lant's counsel also contends that her
client should have been given opportu-
nifty to introduce testimony to show
that she was innocent of the charges.
In their brief, counsel for the gov
ernment contend that the code au-
thorizes the chief justice to sit in an
extradition case, but the record shows
that this section of the code has never
been tested in the higher court here.
The case will be argued this Fall.

The filing of the City Treasurer's
report on Monday night, showing the
outstanding bonded indebtedness to
date, revealed very creditable show
ing for the outgoing administration.
The total bonded indebtedness and
registered warrants on all funds May
80, 1926 was $18O,226.36. On May 2,
1927, the total outstanding indebted
ness of the city, including bonds and
registered warrants was $165, 5,780.84,
making total reduction of the citys
indebtedness for the year of $14,-
445.52. Besides this there is the wa
ter fund, to offset the $4,000 bond
ed Indebtedness outstanding, $4,000
making a further reduction of the
city's Indebtedness. Only a portion of
this sinking fund was accumulated
during the past year.
An additional expense borne by the
city was the graveling of the streets,
from the end of the pavement to the
city limits south of town and for the
graveling of the street entering the
city on the north, which cost
$1,208.25. In addition to this the city
bought $3,037 worth of needed proper
ty and equipment, totaling $4,246.15
of permanent property. Besides this,
they reduced the tax levy seven mills.
A great deal of this saving was ac-
complished by the deduction of Off

BUSY THREE DAY
SESSION HELD BY
CO. COMMISSIONERS

The Board of County Commission
ers met in regular session at the
courthouse this week. This meeting
was one of the busiest sessions the
commissioners have had for some
time. The first matter taken up was
the matter of reemploying the coun-
ty home demonstration agent. A
large delegation of women from over
the county were present and urged
the board to reemploy Miss Grace
Carey Owing to the many delegations
waiting to present road and other
matters the action was deferred until
Tuesday, at which time Miss Carey
was reemployed for another year.
Miss Caroline Lockhart and Phil
Smell of Dry Hhead appeared before
the board and asked that the board
authorize the expenditure Of $500 on
the mail road between the Dry Head
postoffice and the Wyoming state
line. After consideration it was agreed
that the board would appropriate
this amount to be expended some time
during the late summer or early fall.
A delegation from Fromberg, COM
posed of Mac Emmett, E. B. Switzer,
George Smedley and w. E. Ross, ap-
peared before the board in behalf of
the road from Fromberg up the Blue
water to Sage Creek, leading to the
national forest. The delegation stated
that this road was almost impossible
and urged that the board make some
provision to repair the road as it was
necessary for the farmers living in
the lower Clarks Fork to get their
timber supply out of the forest. The
matter was taken under considera-
tion to be acted upon later.
A petition was received from the
residents living on the benchs east
of Red Lodge asking for a new north
and south road along the bench After
considerable discussion the commits
sioners agreed to view the road and
decide upon its merits at later date.

SURVEY RED LODGE
COOKE CITY ROAD
TO START JUNE |

The survey for the location of the
Red Lodge-C Cooke City road will be
started about June l, according to
F. E. Theme, District Engineer of the
Forestry Service and R. T. Ferguson,
supervisor of the Beartooth National
Forest, who came to Red Lodge Fri
day to discuss the matter with o. H. P.
Shelley, secretary of the Beartooth
Boosters club, who has had this road
project in charge for the past two
years. The conference resulted in an
agreement between the forestry re-
representatives. and Mr.. Shelley, as to
the plans to be carried out for the
survey.
According to Mr.. Theme, Mr.. B. T.
Kit, who assisted Mr.. Theme in the
reconnaissance survey two years ago,
will likely take charge of the survey
ing party. While the county commits
sioners made the application, it is gen
orally understood that Mr.. Shelley
will represent the local interests as
their representative in connection
with the survey.
The story published in the Picket
journal of last week was erroneous
and unauthorized, according to Mr..
Ferguson. The assurance of the sur
vey was secured by Mr. Shelley before
he finished his work in Washington
the past winter, and it remained only
for the details to be agreed upon be-
tween the Secretary of Agriculture
and the Forestry Service. Upon be-
ing advised that the details were
completed, Mr.. Theme made the trip
to Red Lodge, following a prearrang-
ed appointment with Mr.. Shelley,
which was made by Mr.. Ferguson
over the telephone few days before.
Contrary to the story of the Picket
Journal, there was no meeting of the
special road committee called, as this
was not necessary. The plans sub
mitted by Mr.. Theme and Mr.. Fergu-
son were speedily agreed to by Mr..
Shelley, and the forest officials re-
turned to Billings the same day.
