FARE HEARINGS
DUE JUNE q

The hearing before the Public
Utilities Commission of the Wash.
ington Rapid Transit Company's
request for higher fares will be con.
tinued Monday.
Yesterday. e. D. Merrill. presi-
dent and general manager of the
company, testified that the COM
pany has been losing money because
of the traffic lights on Sixteenth
Street and because Of bad weather
on Sundays and holidays.
Commission attaches agreed that
these things were probably hard on
the company's finances, but de-
clared that the real reason the COM
pany has lost money during the
past few months is because Of the
Production in daily mileage from
4, 1855 year ago to 3,455 at present.
They testified that a 10-cent fare
would probably aid the company
hut that it would not solve the
difficulty because it would take a
1245-cent fare to pay expenses, even
il the same number of passengers

FUR MEN HALT
SESSION WAR

The dove of peace lowered over
today's session of the fur workers
convention, at the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor Building, but did
not descend.
The presence Of two plainclothes
men in the audience may have had
something to do with the compare
lively calm meeting which, with
the exception of sniping on both
sides, moved along to the adoption
of a resolution responsible for the
war of yesterday.
The resolution was the adoption
of a report of the credentials COM
mittee, which the radical element
claimed to be aimed against them.
So far as could be learned, the
fight is the result of the suspension
of certain New York locals who
have acted Independently of the
International Union and the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. These
New York locals, it was claimed by
the conservative element, or right
international and have not been
recognized.
In retaliation they have sought to
disrupt this effort of the Federation
Of Labor to bring harmony into the
organization, it was claimed,
Joseph Berack, of Boston, attor-
ney for the international, warned
against the activities of communists
who have sought to discredit the
American Federation Of Labor, and
urged the fur workers to drive the
final nail in the collins of the reds
at this convention.

"Lindy" to Be in Film

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh was

Manhattan is just one big county
fair today. The 'rubes" from 125th
Street jostle with the 'trubes" from
Canal Street-all crazy in their de.
sires to see "Lindy."
New York Is quick to cash in on
popular fancy. and so the whole
town has turned to buying and
selling ''Lindy" merchandise.
From the street hawker who In
sists that yah gotta hava Lindy
button" to the Fifth Avenue mer-
chant who is displaying Lindbergh
scarfs. commercial New York has
gone Lindbergh, just as social New
York has gone Lindbergh.
Taking advantage of the county
fair atmosphere that prevails when
Manhattan let's down it's reserve and
acts natural, the fakirs are coming
in from the countryside to reap a
harvest from the New York rubes.
Tin type photographers who
usually operate in the hinterlands
of Jersey have swarmed into New
York to do a rushing business, and
the word has gone out to the entire
fraternity. and before the week ends
Brooklyn Bridge will probably be
sold dozen times over to born
and bred New Workers.
There never was more gaping
and craning Of necks at the North
Kingston County Fair than there
is right here on Broadway today.
Crowds Of New Workers stand and
gaze in awe at the reviewing stand
in city hall and argue as to just
where it was that 'Lindy" stood
when Jimmy Walker pinned
that there medal on him."
You can't TASK a cop" because
the chances are the cop" doesn't
know. The traffic arrangements
for the celebration have resulted in
the drafting of officers from all
over the city, and it seems that
the "cop" who generally patrols a
beat in Flatbush is entirely at sea
when it comes to giving directions
on Forty second Street.
The wise-cracking New York cops
are no wiser today than jeff
Peters, who does special duty" on
fair day up in Saugus.
II he had accomplished nothing
else it would rebound to the credit
CT Colonel Lindbergh that he has
shaken New York out of its shell.
He has caused New York to take
off Its disguise and reveal itself as
1t really is-just a good natured
hick town, perhaps a little more
rural than Grand Corners, Kan.

serve out his year term at Atlanta.
Department of Justice officials
informed CAROLS friends that they
would be governed by the reports
of the Government physicians
rather than the statements of medi-
cal men engaged by the prisoners
friends.
Urgent pleas to President Cool
idge to save Carroll from the peni-
tertiary by an executive order set
ting aside the sentence marked the
ultimate effort, two months ago,
of CAROLS friends.
Carroll was sentenced to a year
and a day for perjury in connec-
ton with his testimony in the cele-
brated wine-bath party.

Cops Job is Rocking
Dynamite To
Sleep

PHILADELPHIA, June a.
Boys will be boys. In other
words, sometimes they will
rush in where a patrolman
treads on tiptoe. 1t happened
at Fifty-first and Berks Streets.
Six of the neighborhood "gang,"
Patrolman Ferguson and 25
sticks of dynamite played the
principal roles.
Residents of the vicinity made
up the audience. Not only was
the show a flop with them, but
they saw the finish of it with
gladdening hearts.
Act One-The six boys dis
cover the dynamite. Act Two
The residents see the boys toss
ing it around, careless like.
Act Three-The residents sum-
mon Ferguson.
Here the action quickens.
The boys drop the box, run and
disappear. The patrolman picks
it up, then sets it down GIN
gerly. What to do?
Ferguson called a patrol
wagon. More gingerly he lifted
the box into it-but the driver
wouldn't bulge an inch. Such
is the life of a patrolman-he
must ride in the van and hold
the 25 sticks of death on his
lap-over the bumpy streets,
and no telling when the whole
works would go bang! Sky
high!
Ferguson claims it took the
driver seven hours to travel
the short distance to the police
station, where the dynamite was
locked in the safe. And all's
well unless some bold bad bandit
tries to crack the station safe.
