Combine Amendment of Peoples
Counsel Proposes Maintenance of
Present Charge for Two Years.

Richmond B. Keech, peoples counsel,
came out today strongly in support OF
half fares for school children, declar-
ing he would go before the House Dis
trict committee to ask that the street
car merger bill. be amended so as to
make half fares compulsory.
Further to protect the interests of
school children, Keech said he would
propose that the amendment authorize
the Public Utilities Commission to fix
fares for school children at less than
half the rate for adults, or to compel
free fares for them. should conditions
so warrant.

The merger bill now merely author
ICES the Public Utilities Commission to
reduce school fares without stating
how much. a provision which meets
with the accord of the street car
companies.
The section which Keech will pro-
pose as substitute for this provision in
the bill would apply to children up to
graduation from high school, 1t will
specify also that their fares shall not
exceed half of the rate for adults. He
considered that the position of the
Public Utilities Commission would be
strengthened if that body is empowered
to eliminate street car fares for school
children entirely eff conditions. in
their Judgment, warrant" in the future.
Any Rate Authorized.
His substitute proposal would also en-
power the commission in it's own discre-
ton to reduce fares to any rate not ex-
ceeding half the fare for adults.
Keech also announced that he would
argue in favor of retaining in the
merger bill the provision, bitterly OPP
posed by the street car companies, that
the present rate of fare shall continue
for two years after the merger This
two-year guarantee to continue the
present rate he regards as absolutely
essential to the merger act If the public
interests are to be safeguarded.

Lacrosse Players
''Egged on to Use
Sticks Properly

In preparing for the great
battle" to be fought between the
lacrosse teams of st. Johns Col
lege, Annapolis, and the Oxford
Cambridge combination, which
will take place on April l at the
Central High School Stadium, st.
Johns team has adopted un-
usual methods to perfect its stick
technique. Eggs are used in
teaching the new members of the
champs to catch and handle the
ball. The coaches are demon
strating just how the principle of
gravity is applied in. stick work
by catching an egg on the back
of a lowered plate. The pupils
are required TO catch eggs in
their lacrosse sticks, being fined
each time an egg is cracked or
broken.
This method has trained the
squad members to handle an egg
with great dexterity and also to
cradle" a lacrosse ball with
equal facility. But the wear and
tear on eggs, according to Mr..
Smith, ST. Johns steward, has
been terrific.

IN FIXED CALL RATE
Gov. Young Of Federal Reserve
Says Money Interest Will
Adjust Itself. !.
AZ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Gov. Roy A. Young Of the. Federal
Reserve Board testified before the
House banking committee investigating
the banking situation today, that an
arbitrary maximum limit of or 8 per
cent on the call money rate would not
prevent over speculation.
Replying to suggestion by Repre-
sentative Seiberling, Republican. Ohio,
that Congress should place limit on
the call money rate YoSsHR said those
things adjust and control themselves. :"
"But they didn't adjust themselves
last Fall when the rate went TO % per
cent, until you and the Federal Reserve
Board had put ON the brakes" observed
Seiberling.
Young answered that the board mad
taken no drastic" steps toward holding
/. down the call rate.
Asked in whose interests" the call
rate was fixed. Young said it was de-
termined by the combined interest OF
the borrower and the lender.
He argued against limit on the call
rate on the ground that high rate
curbed speculation.
IF an per cent rate were named AS
a maximum, speculation would be great
err and in the case OF a sudden decline
the crash would be correspondence
greater" he said.

for a reason, I think it was because
of his adoiescent cynicism.
After the war, I heard OF him
again, nov one of the editors OF the
Messenger. Most of the cynicism
had been pounded out of him by
ruthless experience, and that which
had replaced it was, to me, far pref
cradle. I refer to his mellowed
humor anu the keen cutting edge OF
his satirical criticism.
Never a profound thinker, Schuyler
has been interesting to me because
of his ability to adapt to his own
uSaS the ideas ct others. He is
close and accurate observer, and GER
tainly one of the most effective anti
dotes in Aframerica for self-Sufflcient
and inflated complacency. A thor
oughly interesting chap.
AS I said elsewhere some time ago,
William Monroe Trotter is an AM.
from Harvard, but succeeds in hiding
that fact in what he writes. 1t Is
not what Mr.. Trotter writes, however,
that renders him interesting, but al
together what he does. More than
any other Negro in the United States,
William Monroe Trotter has agitated

rotary of the National Equal Rights
League, he has sent out thousands
of protests, to Presidents and Gov
erners, to Senators and Representa-
tives,-to everybody in authority
whose voice might profitably be
raised in some Negroes behalf.
Mr.. Trotter is one of those persons
who will have to die before they can
command appreciation. He gives
himself completely to the cause OF
Negro rights, yet is looked upon with
/ ngled humor and scorn by most of
Bostcn's colored population. These
people are unconcerned save in so
far as injustice touches them per-

Didn't expect him 20 give me any

I, too, had hoped to get into the
