dent of the associations territory.
Effort is to be made to have painted
safety zones at car stops all along Wis

the Office of the director of traffic indi-
Gated that funds we're not available for
the turtle markers and an opinion of
the District auditor would be necessary
before action. Roy G. Bowker. president,
pointed out that while this request has
been refused for Wisconsin avenue,
similar markers are constantly being
added to zones on Connecticut avenue.

quested cleaning up Of the triangular

pointed out that the place is still in

NEW YORK. May 3.--The principle

The scent fare is provision Of the
contract under which there is private

Mayor James J. Walker. who previ-
ouSly had said he would not be
candidate for reelection, announced
his candidacy on a scent fare plat
form.
Former Mayor John F. Hylan. who
in the eight years he occupied Office
was a strong defender of the scent
fare, issued a statement charging
Mayor Walker and Tammany Hall with
"betraying the people"
In some circles this was taken as
an indication that Mr. Hylan. who is
3 Democrat. might again seek the
mayoralty either as an independent
Democratic candidate or as a fashion
candidate supported by the Republicans.
The courts decision held the scent
fare to be confiscatory in that 1t pro-
vided earnings of only 2.52 per cent
last year, according to the l. r. T.
figures.
Determination of permanent fair
and reasonable" rate is to be referred
to a special master TO be appointed
by the court. In the meantime the
fare can be raised by the Interborough
to Z cents upon posting bond which
would guarantee return to the pasSen-
gers with interest Of any additional
amount collected over the fare which
is finally fixed.
The city took immediate steps for
an appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court.

the lnterborough the court left open

Warner Brothers are preparing

based on the musical romance pre-
sented on the stage by Schwab and
Mandel. j. L. Warner announced
this week that Roy Del Ruth will
direct the screen version, which will
be. Vitaphoned throughout. This as
signment goes to Del Ruth because
of the experience he has gained
through making all-Vitaphone pic
lures, notably THE Terror" and

Harvey Gates is now writing the

and scren tests with Vitaphone will
be made next week for players to be

era work on the production will
start early in October.

the opening dates at Engnshs and

for an opening, but he is not ready

policy will be personally. Person.

Cincinnati, Ohio, that the Shubert
opens there Sunday night with the
