BY Cable to The Star.
PARIS, France March 6-Numerous
Senators have united in special COM
mittee to advocate creation of French
two-sea canal from Bordeaux, on the
Atlantic, coast to Narbonne, on the
Mediterranean.
The solons see many advantages in
such a project:
First 1t would make 1t possible for
the French war feet to go from the
ocean to the Mediterranean in less than
two days and without passing under the
British guns at Gibraltar.
Second. 1t would shorten the route
from Great Britain and Northern
Europe to the Mediterranean, the Suez
and India by LOO miles.
Third 1t would provide adequate
protection against floods which period
ically devastate Southwestern France.
Cost of the canal would be about
$4,000, 900. 900. Experts say that II

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 6.-Empha-
sizing the fairness and leniency Of bills
now before the General Assembly to
restrict and regulate billboards, nearly
| 200 men and women yesterday urged
the Ways and Means Committee to re-
turn favorable report.
| The same committee will hear OPP
ponents this afternoon.
Those who appeared in behalf of the
proposed legislation yesterday included
Lieut.. Col U. S. Grant, Sd, director of
public buildings and public grounds of
the National Capital; Frederick A. De-
lano, chairman of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission; Miss
Lavinia Engle, member of the House of

Stanely of the Southern Maryland So
ciety and Washington I. Cleveland Of

Passage Is Urged.
Repeatedly asserting that the bills
now before the Legislature would not
put the outdoor advertising companies
out of business or curtail the farmers
revenue, proponents declared passage at
this time is imperative to preserve the
beauty and safety Of Maryland roads
and prevent them from becoming the
dumping ground" for signs Of all
character.
other arguments advanced in favor
of the bill, which is in duplicate form,
were:
It is in keeping with the plan to
beautify the entrance to Washington
in time for the Bicentennial celebra-
ton next year.
1t applies to the counties signboard
regulations that have been found neces-
sary in nearly all cities and incorpo-
rated towns Of the State.
1t gives the State jurisdiction over
objects which derive their entire value
from roads built at public expense.
Other States Lead.
1t is in keeping with laws passed
and found advantageous in nearly half
the States of the Union.
1t would help Maryland present an
attractive instead of a repulsive APP
pearance to the tourist.
Asserting ne ola not venture 10 olc-
tate or even suggest how Maryland
affairs should be handled, Mr.. Delano
said he came to ask the assistance of
the Legislature in the effort to beau

Mr. Delano compared billboards to
garbage and sewage disposal plants and

filed.
Relatives of the convicted men audibly
protested when the sentences were pro-
nounced, but the demonstration was
quickly suppressed by court attaches.
Prior to the passing of sentence, At
torney Harry Whelan made a strong
plea for probation on behalf of Glass
man. He told the court that Glassman
served overseas with the American
Army during the World War and that
ne later became a member of the local
police force, sustaining serious wound
in line of duty during 1922 race riots.

suit of the Governments action in pad
locking his property.
Other Pleas Made.
Attorney Myron T. Enrich explained
to the court on behalf of several other
defendants that to send them to Jail

Glassman Is Sued.
Shortly after GlaSsman had been
sentenced a suit for $11 ,444 was filed
against him by Frank w. Hill, real
estate operator, 2029 Hillyer place. Hill
says he is the owner of a garage at
2101 Fourteenth street, which was pad
locked last year as result of Glass
mans law violations.
The suit filed by Hill asks 1924 rent
allegedly due since, the date of pad
locking and $4,000 for legal expenses
incurred by him as a result of the pad
locking proceedings. The plaintiff says
he and Glassman agreed on a lease il
1927 whereby the latter promised to use
the property for the conduct of lawful
business only. Hill says Glassman vio-
lated this agreement by using the ga
rage as a base for his liquor activities.

Contend Reduction Ordered
Is Illegal, but Will Yield
to Public Demand.
ALREADY BELOW INCOME
NEEDED, SAY LETTERS
Appeal to Public Utilities Commits
SIGN to Act Voluntarily to Pro-
vide More Funds.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day received letters from the Washing
ton Railway g. Electric Co. and the
Capital Traction Co.. each asking the
commission, of its own motion, to pro-
vide the companies with additional
funds to make up for the losses they
expect to result from transporting
school children at a reduced fare.
Neither company stated what form
this action should take. Both contend
that they believe the order reducing
rates for school children is illegal and
unfair, but owing to the public senti-
ment behind it they will not contest 1t.
I'VE believe and are advised" wrote
John H. Hanna, president of the Cap
ital Traction Co., that your order
numbered 989, establishing reduced rates
for school children, without providing
compensation for the loss thereby &C.
casioned, is illegal and unfair to thi;
company. In view, however, CT the
popular demand for this reduction ir
school childrens fares, we will, with
out waving any of the company's rights
in the premises, take no steps to pre-
vent the enforcement of this order, but
on the contrary will use our best eff.
forts to put it into effect on the date
named in as satisfactory a manner a;
possible.
Revenues Found Inadequate.
1.-THE Supreme Court found that oul
revenues, as shown by evidence in the
70 ffun re-
inadequate Since that time, as our re-
ports show. our revenues have sharply
declined. Any reduction in revenues re-
Sulting from reduced school children
fares must be reflected in full in in
come available for return and in net
income, as the alteration of the fare
will tend to increase rather than de-
crease expenses.
I'VE. therefore, beg to take this OPP
portunity to again call to your atten-
ton the statements made in behalf c.
