There is an almost irresistible tempta-

Hughes work, became a public trust In

Twenty-four years ago a newspaper
man wrote of Mr.. Hughes:

they would be: He walks uprightly."

is now easy; it is "the accepted prac-

the world for the seven days
ended February %.

THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH
OF NATIONS.-Prime Minister Mac
donald has informed the House of Com
mons that the imperial conference will
open in London on September 80.
The conference will concern itself
chiefly with the grand question OF
intra-imperial trade. In July, in q
preliminary announcement regarding
the coming session, the Labor govern
ment expressed the opinion that ex-
tension of application of the principle
Of imperial preference would not be the
best method of attempting to further
intra-imperial trade.
The imperial conferences originated
from a meeting of the prime ministers
of Great Britain and the domnionS
coincidently with Queen Victorta's jubt-
lee in 1887. There were imperial con-
ferences in 1897, 1902, 1907 and 1911.
In 1918 an extended conference was
held concurrently with the sessions OF
the imperial war conference. There
were conferences in 1921, in 1923 and
Cperhaps the most important OF alp In
1925.
On February II Lord Beaverbrook
formally launched a new political party
under the name United Empire Party.

that the party will seek to give erect

Charging that his wife, Mrs. Pauline
Henderson, who sued him for q limited
divorce on grounds Of cruelty, has been
secretly in love with another man, James
M. Henderson, employe of the division
Of loans and currency, Treasury De-
partment, today filed a cross complaint
against her and asked for an absolute
divorce. He attached to his complaint
copies of love letters alleged to have
been written by Mrs. Henderson and
the correspondent to each other.
Through Attorney Raymond Neu-
decker, the husband alleges that his
wife made his home life so unpleasant
he was forced to leave her last Deem
Der. He states that she then went to
live in the home of the correspondent,
whose wife subsequently separated from
him, and that the two have been con-
tinuously in the company Of each other
since that time. Even since Mrs. Hen
derson sued her husband for q limited
divorce, it is charged, she has kept love
trysts with the correspondent.
Henderson asks the court to grant
him an absolute decree and the custody

INCOME INCREASES
/ WITH HIGHER FARES
Capital Traction Co. Reports
7 Per Cent Growth.
Passengers Drop.

The immediate effect Of the new 10
cent fare which went into effect the
day before yesterday was to decrease
the number of passengers riding the
street cars, while increasing the reve-
nue. derived from them.
Figures were submitted yesterday to
the Public Utilities Commission by both
street car companies for Wednesday,
as compared with the preceding Fri
day. The Capital Traction Co. report
ed that their passengers had decreased
by Z per cent, while their revenue mad
increased by z per cent. The WASH
ington Railway g. Electric Co. reported
that its revenues had increased slightly
less than 8 per cent, but submitted no
figures on the riders carried.
The comparison was made with last
Friday, as Saturday and Sunday are
not typical days. Monday and Tues
day were ruled out because the closing
of Government Offices at ! o'clock on
account of the heat prevented these
from being typical days.
The Capital Traction Co. reported
that token usage had increased from
65 to 10 per cent, probably as the re-
suit of token boarding after the de-
cision to increase the fare was made ano
before 1t was actually put into erect
Wednesday morning.
The commission is keeping close
check on the results of the higher fares
on the passengers carried and the rev.
enue derived from them. The firsl
complete statistical table viii be pre-
pared next month, covering the opera
tions of the two companies Tor July
