D. c. FRANCHISE.
BILL DUE FOR
HEARING

Representative Clarence Il.
Mcleod of Michigan, chair
man of the judiciary subconn-
mittee Of the House District
Committee, will open informal
public hearings on bills to
give the District representa-
tion in Congress shortly after
the House resumes considera-
ton of the tariff bill, it was
learned today.
McLeod's purpose is to determine,
IL possible, by calling in civic
leaders and those prominent In
Washington commerce, Just what
the District desires in the way Of
Congressional representation.
More than a dozen bills, provid-
Ing partial or total enfranchise-
ment for the District, and several
others which would give the Capi-
tai a voice in Congress, without
reference to the ballot are pending
In the House. but Mcleod Is GER
tain that all of them will not he
considered by Congress.
By calling in representatives OF
District citizens, he hopes to get
a composite idea of what the Capt.
tai wants, and then tell the citizens
how much they can get.
The outcome of the hearing, or
series of hearings, probably will
be a compromise bill, which Nc
Leod will introdu early in the
regular session, in order to give
1t rapid consideration by the Ju.
dietary subcommittee and the full
District Committee, before going to
a vote in the House.

TOMORROW
IS Sc FOR
ANSWER

The Washington Railway
and Electric Company prob
ably will defy the Public Utili-
ties Commission in its reply to
suggestion of rerouting and
pbssibility of a merger to the
! commission tomorrow morn
ing.
Fl The attitude of officials of the
railway company, it is understood,
IL one that is antagonistic to the
Il plan Indicated by the Utilities Com
Nnission. This plan as far as can
| be determined from a recent state
4 Anent Is one which would force the
two railway companies into q po-
sition where a merger would be a
vital necessity to the two COM
I'oanies.
Ham Insists on Fairness
! William r. Ham, president Of the
fWreco, has made himself clear on
one point, and that is that he will
not consider a merger based on any
plan which will not carry with It
q reasonable assurance OF a fair re-
turn to his company.
Discussing the recent order of the
commission which in fact was ac-
cepted as a yelled threat OF a
merger in fact through the medium
of rerouting and intercompanY
I transfers Ham stated that while he
is in favor Of any economies that
will cut down operating expenses
the answer to the traction company
I problem in this regard has not been
Forthcoming.
Won't Accept Proposals
Ham further indicated that he is
not willing to accept all of the pro.
posals of the Utilities Commission
when they are made. He also indi-
Gated that it is somewhat absurd
for a commission which has only
been in office few weeks to tell
J. men who have been in the traction
business for years. how to conduct
that business and what economies
should be placed in effect.
+ Hams attitude is one that Is
accepted as an open declaration of
war on any plan the commission
may bring forward.
1t was also indicated that IL the
commission endeavors to WELD a
club in the guise of the utilities act
the traction interests will move by
Injunction and thereby tie the hands
! of the commission in maze Of
legal red tape.

The corporation secured the con.

The contract provided that the

McCarl disagreed. He declared
that there is nothing whatever in
the contract to require the United

 You have a high regard for my diplomatic abilities" I said grimly. Give me that key!"

 Evading me easily. she went off through the front door, slamming it shut behind her. I was after her as fast as my old legs would carry me, but by the time I got put into the garden she was climb ing into Deacon's police car. What madness wasn't she capable of! Deacon must have left the key in the ignition for as I ran down the walk shouting to her the car throb- bed in it's vitals and slid away from the curb.
 You promised, Uncle John!" Her voice high and clear, blew back to me.
 Sick at heart I tumbled on a cement bench nearby. Deacon, my friend, was pounding on my old English door and Lucy, my niece, was on her way to Skull Valley.

 A door slammed, key turned, and my heart climbed into my throat. Only one door in the house slams like that. A massive piece of finely paneled English oak. had picked it up cheap at Hyde's and hung it in the entrance of a little storeroom near the patio. A few trunks occupy the room and the one small window is not large enough for a man to pass through.

IEhe statement that Miss Ruby Petty,
SOC Fletcher avenue, indianapolis,
made to the Konjola Man a few
days ago:
LAS medicine Konjola can't be
beat. 1t certainly gave me the sur
fpriSe of my life. I was suffering
hfrom a rundown and overworked
system. I was highly nervous, be-
fcame worn-out easily and lacked en-
fergy to do my work or enjoy life.
p couldn't remain still for any length
.pf time and often got up in the mid

chat was in need of good tonic
and medicine and that I needed it
soon or I would go into a decline.
well, that need was filled by
Konjola. Daily read and heard
what it was doing for countless In
dianapolis people and wisely rea-
soned that what Konjola had done
for others It would do for me. I de-
cided to put it to the test and that
was all that Konjola asked, just to
be put to the test. Without hest
tation it went to the source of my
troubles and began to build up my
system. A new feeling of health
surged through me. My organs
were cleansed, regulated and invig-
GRATED. My nerves became Gained
and settled and I gained back all
my lost strength and energy. I can
hardly believe that I was ever in
such a rundown condition and I owe
all my glorious health to Konjola.
I will praise this medicine as long
as I live"
So it goes; the same splendid story
of success whenever Konjola is given
the opportunity to make good. Here
is, indeed, medicine of deeds, not

FLU GERM IS
ISOLATED BY
YOUNG DOCTOR
U. of ChiCarI Professor
Sees Prospect of
Antitoxin.

BU United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-As a Christ
mas gift to the world, six arduous
years in the making, a modest
young University Of Chicago pro-
fessor announces the discovery and
isolation of the influenza germ,
with promise of hopeful prospect
for an antitoxin that will stem the
scourge.
Sixty students assembled in a
cluttered, acid-stained room in
Ricketts, laboratory Thursday night,
heard the momentous announce
ment from the lips of DR.. Isidore S.
Falk, 30-year-old professor of by
giene and bacteriology.
He referred TO the germ as of
the pleomorphic streptococcus type
and said it looks like a microscopic
chain of unmatched beads which
child has strung together"
Simply, as if announcing details
of new lecture course, the tall,
dark-haired young scientist told his
listeners about the germ and how
it was discovered, giving much of
the credit to his assistants. There
was nothing in his manner to indi-
cate he was becoming, as he spoke,
a conspicuous world figure and an
outstanding candidate for the next
Nobel prize.
1--WE are hoping" he said, chat
vaccine prepared from dead mi
crobes Of the influenza germ can be
absorbed through the mucous mem
branes of the nose and throat and
thus effect cure"
With fourteen members of the bio
logical department to aid him, DR..
Falk toiled during the epidemic a
year ago, working sixteen hours or
more a day.
