TO CUT
| U.S.. NAVY COST

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. Up
Secretary Adams and his admirals
are searching for a method by
which they can cut down expendi-
lures for 1888.
Like his colleagues of the cabinet,
the naval secretary has been asked
by Pres. Hoover to reconsider
budgetary estimates submitted for
the year. On highest authority it
has been made known the chief ex-
ecutive wishes the navy to cut its
S4Ol 900 900 estimates TO S340. OO0.-
600. He does not desire that the
decreases be made, however, at the
expense OF the current construction
program which might be slightly
increased.
Meanwhile the secretary n
nounced yesterday an immediate
slash in expenditures. The project
ca eleven-destroyer program. au-
thc-ized by congress, was cut to
five ships after approval for the
others was withheld by the White
House.

SCHOOL FARE CASE
RETRIAL UNLIKELY
Patrick Says Commission Is Ex-
pected to Deny Keech
Motion.

In advance of a meeting later today
of the Public Utilities Commission,
Chairman Mason M. Patrick said it was
expected the commission would deny
the motion of Peoples Counsel Rich
mond B. Keech for a rehearing of the
school childrens Scent carfare case.
This was taken to mean that the COM
mission will defend the suit brought by
the traction companies without en-
deavoring to obtain any additional facts
to support the order as it now stands.
One of the allegations made by coun-
sci for the traction companies was that
the Scent carfare order was issued
without the holding of proper public
hearing after due notice. In the face OF
many complaints from parents and
school teachers, the commission repeat
edly has refused to modify the order so
as to permit children to pay 3 cents
cash fare. Instead. they are compelled
to purchase books of tickets at the re-
duced rates bearing the signatures of
their teachers.
Mr.. Keech in his petition for a re-
hearing pointed out that under existing
regulations many school children under
18 years of age are actually denied the
reduced rate because of inability of their
parents to buy books>of tickets.
The Public Utilities Commission also
will have before 1t for consideration to-
day an order drafted by william A. Rob-
erts, special assistant corporation coun-
sci, for the rerouting of interstate
buses in the congested area of the
city.
No action was contemplated today on
this tentative order, Gen. Patrick eX-
planning that 1t would merely be dis
cussed. Under the law the order can
not be issued anyway before July I. and
after its approval by the joint board.
