Three men, who were arrested on
charges of intoxication, said to be COM

Montgomery County Commissioners to-
day initiated move to prohibit SWIM
ming in the canal at Whitewater, where
Crandan met his death. 1t was ex-
planned, however, that police have no
authority to stop swimming withoGt

The varying temperatures of the
canal water, caused by springs, which
feed the canal, are highly conducive
to cramps, board members declared,
and cause the majority of drownings
which occur at Whitewater.

ARE UPHELD BY |. C. C.
Additional Services offered Justify
Higher Charge, Commission
Finds.

BY the Associated Press.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
today approved extra fare passenger
trains as now operated by railroads
which have them.
This resulted from an investigation
Of extra fare trains begun some time ago
by the Commission on its own motion.
There had been complaints. particularly
from Chicago business interests, that
fares in some instances were to high
as compared with rates to other cities.
In its report the Commission went
fully into the history Of extra fare
trains, which began operation as long
ago as 1881, and said the additional
services offered justified higher
charge.

Grateful enough for the sweets,

which landed him knee deep IN the blue

He must have felt, and rightly SO, that
the last of the Districts fire horses had

WANDERING YOUTHS
FIND HIKING HARD
Heavy Increase Noted in De.
mand for Shoes by Saliva
tion Army.

Boys under 81, aimlessly wandering
about the country in search Of work,
have made the most unusual demands
upon the Salvation Army's shoe sup
ply, it was revealed late yesterday by
Adjt Gilbert S. Decker of the local
organization, as a part of the July re-
port of the group.
This announcement follows by only
one day the publication of results OF a
survey conducted by the Children's Bu-
reau of the United States Department
of Labor, which reported that condi-
tions were such that these youths, most
of them from substantial American
families, were going about from town
to town looking for work, and often
hustled out of each city after stay
of day OF. so.
Adjt. Decker says "the particular
demand for shoes " comes from
boys under 81 who are finding more
and more that the hitch has been
taken out of hitch-hiking. They are
learning that enforced walking
takes much of the glamour cut OF lie
'on the road.
AN alarming phase of this home
less men situation is that it has not
diminished this Summer in accordance
with the diminution of past years
Mai. James Asher, in charge of the
local post, said yesterday. The con-
sequence has been greatly added call
upon our finances and as We are on
a budget from the Community Chest, 1t
is causing us serious problem.
Another grave concern is that so
many of these men are youngsters
under 81. We feel a particular need
to care for boys of this type in the
hope of getting them on the right
path and back to their homes before
they are too thoroughly inoculated with
the germ of life on the road There
has been a slight decrease in the num-
ber under age in the last month and
we take this as a hopeful sign that
the campaign being waged on this
question throughout the country is
bearing fruit"
Individual service was rendered by
the army to 3,243 transient homeless
men during the month Of July, accord
ing to the report. Of these men, the
report shows, 1882 were white and 861
were colored The service rendered
embraced meals, lodging, clothing or
shoes some obtaining all four.
The July report brings the number
of men served by the army during the
first seven months of 1882 up to U.s.
821, of which 1908 were whites and
6,723 were colored.

occurred within few weeks of each
other.
Only Tom remains. browsing out his
days in verdant pastures.
There is life left in the old fellow
yet. however. He pranced up with
arching neck and an eager nicker
when he recognized the familiar blue
suit. cap and brass buttons of Sergt.
A. j. Bargagni of the Fire Department,
who accompanied Mrs. Lyon on her
visit.
Sergt. Bargagni. organizer of the
firemens and policemen's parade on
Labor day. wanted to look Tom over
preparatory to bringing him into town
in few days for thorough groom
ing before he takes his accustomed
place in the parade, this time, flanked
by two strange horses-bays from the
Districts stables.
Tom, upholder Of the best traditions
of the department, will wear a memo
rial wreath about his neck. Old-timers
will recall how his team raced through
IL inches of ice and Slush, drawing an
engine for miles to a fire, while all
other available apparatus was at the
scene of the Knickerbocker disaster.
Or how, years previously, another
team was racing to a blaze when one
horse wrenched his hoof away in the
street car tracks and proceeded on the
bleeding stump without losing step
with his mates. The horse had to be
shot, once the engine arrived at the
| fire
