FROM UNION STATION
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Considers
Operation to Hotels and Pri-
yate Residences.

The Pennsylvania Railroad is con-
sidering the development of an organi-
cation for the operation Of a motor
bus and taxicab service from the Union
Station to local hotels and probably
direct to private residences, an attor-
ney for the company revealed at con-
ference yesterday afternoon with Earl
v. Fisher, executive secretary of the
Public Utilities Commission.
Tickets sold in New York. Philadel-
phia. Baltimore and other points on the
main line of the Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington division of the
railroad system, under the plan con-
templated would contain stub. en-
titling passengers to transportation
from the Union Station to their homes
or hotel in taxicab or motor bus
Fisher advised the attorney that for
NAL public hearing before the utilities
commission would be necessary before the
service could be authorized or denied.
A legal question Is involved. however.
over whether the proposed plan would
represent supplemental transportation or
would be interstate or intraSuaCe. The
railway company. 1t was said, likely will
insist that the bus or taXicab service
would represent continuation of the
original journey.

er, announced his retirement from
the ring today at a luncheon given
in honor of William Muldoon, 81
year-old member Of the New York
State Athletic Commission.
II have fought by last bout as a
professional boxer" his statement
said.
Staging farewell party" to the
commissioner and more than so
newspapermen guests, Tunney de-
clared definitely that the time had
come to step out of the game that
made him a millionaire. Reports
that Tunney was 70 retire had been
circulated since he crushed Tom
Heeney in an eleven round technical
knockout at the Yankee Stadium
last Thursday night.
Feeling still young enough to
make another start in new fields,
Tunney declared himself grateful
for the benefits conferred and anx-
ious to leave the game better than
he found il.
"There is no contender at the
present time who appears capable OF
attracting real public interest" he
said. "If there were | might delay
my retirement long enough 70 face
him in the ring. but IL looks as If il
might be two or three years before
