BY GEORGE E. DoYING.

A determined effort on the part of
the electric railways of the United
States to save themselves from any
further degree of extinction is seen in
the announcement that the leading
companies have begun the expenditure
of a 100000 research fund in an en-
deavor to develop new types of street
cars for service in cities.
The street car operators apparently
have been forced to the conclusion that
an increase in fares is not the solution
Of the problem confronting them.

the automobile and the motor bus. De-
spite the fact that the average cash fare

ton has reached the peak of 8.55 cents,

Services Extended.
While a certain degree of success has
attended some of the schemes for en-
couraging the public to use the street
cars, such as weekly tickets good for
any number of rides the condition Of

and when extensions were necessary or
seemed desirable the motor vehicle has

new tracks. The so-called trackless
trolley has been used by about dozen
companies for experimental purposes.
Now, according to an announcement
today by the American Electric Railway
Association, engineers have begun the
collection of analytical data and the
gathering of samples of the most mod
ern electric cars built for various cities,
These are to be assembled in Brooklyn
and the outstanding advantages OF
each will be noted, with the object OF
developing improvements in the way OF
smooth riding, facilities for passenger
comfort and safety, attractive appear

Operating companies representing
about so per cent of the electric rail-
way industry of the country, together
with practically all of the larger manu-

Ipeeial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 17.-One Of the
outstanding features in brokerage COM
ment today is the absence of any pre-
dictions about the long-term market
outlook. Prophets confine their re-
marks to the trend over the next few
weeks, perhaps feeling that factors in
the long-term range are too uncertain
iust now to warrant discussion.
A majority believe that fundamental
and technical factors are so perfectly
balanced that it is impossible to be
dogmatic about the immediate outlook.
Others feel that stocks over the next
few weeks should work irregularly
lower, though they frankly concede
such predictions are the result Of guess
work rather than convincing analyses
of statistical data now at hand. Some
few feel that the action of the market
in the next day or two will determine
whether a definite resistance has been
established around present levels.

terested in the report Of successful COM
petition with bus lines indicated by the
testimony of j. M. Pogue, vice president
of the Cincinnati e. Lake Erie. before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
last week.
The Cincinnati & Lake Erie is the
longest through electric interurban rail-
wav in the United States and Mr. Pogue
claimed that it has demonstrated its
ability to maintain its business for in
terurban haulS despite the competition
of buses and trucks. Fast through
passenger service, with trains running
as high as 85 miles an hour at a fare
of 2.75 cents a mile, has resulted in a
material increase in that class of bust
ness. Fast freight service and the use
of freight forwarders giving pickup
delivery service accomplished similar re-
suits in that class.
With these developments in the cleo
trio railway field, coupled with a con-
certed movement On the part of four OF
the largest interurban lines in the
country for further regulation of buses
and trucks comes a report of additional
activity on the part of the bus industry
to win public favor.

cost of the project is estimated to be
nearly $15,000,000.

In addition, the new divorce
law, effective Friday, practically

desiring "quiet divorces" and
adds a new cause of action to the
eight previously existing grounds
upon which divorces may be OBJ
tanned.
Although he will not be elegible

perhaps the most notable present
member of the divorce colony, who

is Jack Dempsey.
The former heavyweight cham.
pion arrived here April II, and
had the old law remained in force,
he would have had at least three
months before filing a suit to di-
vorce Estelle Taylor.
Under the new law it is expected
he will file his action about the
middle of May. If an agreement
is reached with his wife and she
accepts service, his divorce may
be granted Is minutes after the
action is filed.
Actually, the divorce will prob
ably not be granted with such

where there is no contest and no
difficulty over property rights, de-
crees are entered within "a to 48
hours after the suit is filed.
