FARE
PASSES HOUSE
LEADERS
No Opposition Seen to Mcleod
Measure to Aid Children
Goinu To and From School

Without opposition. the House
District Committee. at a special
meeting today reported favorably
the Mcleod bill providing a 2-cent
fare on street cars and buses in
the District for school children
when going to and from school.
The bill will be called up in the
House Monday, which is District
day, and it is expected that a SINH
lar measure will be introduced in
the Senate within a few days.
Representative Pa tman, of
Texas. moved in committee that
the Mcleod bill be amended to
provide free fares instead of q
cent fares. He vas diSSuaded
from pressing that motion by
representative Palmer, chairman
Mcleod. and others. who feared
that free fare DILL might not pass.
whereas there was an excellent
chance for a 2-cent bill
John j. Noonan. who has been
persistent advocate of the legis-
lation, was in the room and was
asked his advice. Noonan re-
piled:
"Of course. am for free
fares, but / think we had bet
ter take the two-cent bill at
the present time"
The District Committee also re.
ported today an omnibus pension
bill for 80 widows of policemen
and firemen who have been killed
in line of duty within the past
few years. 1t authorizes the Dis
trict Commissioners to pay each
of these widows $4,000, and also
stipulates that hereafter when a
fireman is killed in line of duty
his widow or dependant children
shall be paid $4,000.
Because of the wrangle in com
mittee over the alleged jokers in
the real estate bill, as charged by
Representative Patman. the House
committee indefinitely postponed
consideration of the bill, with in
structions to Chairman Mcleod
to have the bill go over in the
House on Monday pending study
of the real estate bill as it passed
the Senate this week.

As Refreshments While at
Job Of Finding Easy Money

It's hot work Safe-cracking
these nights, or at least several
amateur cracksmen learned so in
an unsuccessful attempt to force
the safe at the Old Ebbett Grill.
1400 block F Street, some time
after IL o'clock last night.
After drilling three holes in the
safe containing 5000, only to be
stopped by the concrete reinforce

knock off for beer and pretzelS.
Either there we're lot of them
or else they catered to a little
early morning trade. for when
A. r. LofStrand, the owner of the

They had obviously been used,

counter so that a man can easily

from the outside.

The thieves entered the restaurant
by climbing through a transom
in front and apparently left the
same way. for the lock on the
door was untouched. Fingerprints
we're found on a brass name
plate on the outside of the build
ing, supposed to be those of the
Would-be Jimmy Valentines.
This Is Fifth
This is the fifth attempted rob
berry of which Lofstand has been
the victim.
His cafeteria. next door, was
broken into twice, a month ago,
but nothing was taken. Another
cafeteria owned by him, in the
700 block of Thirteenth St., was
robbed of some cigars several
months ago, and his home. in
the $500 block Harrison st. N.

successful robbery attemrt.

thieves are. but does net seem in
the least worried.

Two Boys Try to Sell
Stolen Bicycle to
Its Owner

John Radin. who lives on
Twelfth near I Street North
west, had the surprise of his
life when two colored boys
tried to sell him a bicycle.
Ordinarily there would be
nothing unusual about the mat
ter, for Radin is the proprietor
of a bicycle store in the 900
block Ninth st. N. w. But IN
this case Radin recognized The
wheel as one that he had left
in front of his home a little
while before.
According to police the col
ored boys, Clark Otey and
James Jones, both 18 years old,
took the bicycle from the Radin
home.
In Police Court yesterday
Radin said the bicycle was val,
ued at $40. Judge A. SCHULTZ
sentenced the boys to 80 days
in Jail each.
