RULE ON FLAT CARS
DISCARDED BY |. C. C.
Suggests New Plan for Dixie Lines
to Handle Iron Articles of
Unusual Length.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today voided a proposed rule for
Southern carriers which would have
permitted them to supply two cars
instead Of one for handling iron and
steel articles of unusual length at a
cost the same as would have been
charged If they had supplied only one
car.
Instead Of the rule declared invalid
the commission suggested a new one be
adopted whereby two cars could be sup
piled for this purpose at the same cost
as would have been charged had a 65-
foot car been supplied and that II the
article in question could not have been
shipped on 65-foot car two cars should
be charged for.
The articles affected by the ruling
are reinforcing rods for making con-
crete highways and bridge and struc-
tural steel. The rule was made orig
inally because railroads in Southern
territory have no gondola or fat cars
as long as so feet. When they receive
an order for a car so feet long or more
1t Is necessary to obtain it from a
Northern line, haul it to the loading
point, thence to the destination. then
back to the loading point It was to
avoid this extra haulage that the rule
was made
Most Of the long cars in the country
serve the Pittsburgh district. When
the rule was made shippers in the
Pittsburgh district and Northern rail-
roads objected
The commission found the original
rule was ambiguous and that the rate
would be too low.

COURT CR|T|C|zES
DISTRICT OFFICIALS
Judge Cites Lack of Cooper.
alton in Dismissing Apart
ment Licensing Case.

Police Court Judge John P. Mcmahon
today criticized the District authorities
for their administration of the Capper
act providing for licensing Of all houses
in which three or more rooms are
rented out as apartments.
The criticism was rendered in an
opinion delivered by the judgesin dis
missing a case against Mrs. Nellie Sulli-
van, 72. of the 1900 block Of Porter
street. who was charged with operating
apartment houses at 4l2 H street and
625 Fourth street without licenses. She
had pleaded ignorance Of the law and
told the court she thought she was
running rooming houses and not apart
ments. She complained of abusive
treatment" by police.
Warned to Get License.
Testimony was presented by Dis
trict building inspector and police that
Mrs Sullivan had been warned several
times since last April to obtain licenses
under the Capper act Of 1882. 1t was
not until September IL. after a warrant
had been issued for her arrest, that
she made application for license, post
ing the fee of SIS. The permits were
denied, however, it was said. due to the
absence of fire escapes. the inspector
testified, pointing out that the licenses
must be passed upon by the Fire De-
partment, Building. Electrical and
Plumbing Departments.
Mrs Sullivan told Judge Mcmahon
she believed she had ccmplied with the
law and was unaware of any violation
until Policeman o. L. Curtis threatened
to take her forcibly into court.
Cites Lack of Cooperation.
In dismissing the case the court
characterized Mrs Sullivan's arrest as
part of drive" and declared
Thousands and thousands of peO-
pie in this city are running rooming
houses unaware that they are, under
the law, operating apartment houses
There seems to be a lack Of co-opera-
ton between the District officials and
the owners Of these rooming houses,
who pay taxes to the District of Co.
lumbia.
II would suggest that the Corpora
ton Counsel notify all rooming houses
that they are, in fact. apartment
houses, so they may obtain the nee
eSsary licenses In accordance with the
law"
Judge Mcmahon cited the ''unwritten
law" that until applications for licenses
are finally passed upon the applicants
should be permitted to continue their
businesses.

q wider display of interest.
Clear Skies beckoning the rural
vote to the polls, encouraged the drys
in Idaho, home State of that long

Borah. Allied drys predicted vote Of
more than 100000 with well over
$4,000" opposing repeal. William Healy,
a repeal candidate, envisioned $4,000
repeal majority out of a total vote of
$4,000
In New Mexico, foes of prohibition
predicted at least 2-to-l ma ajority for
repeal. The voters. however, displayed
much more interest in another matter
on the ballot-the question of limiting
property tax levies
These two States, the only ones to
vote on repeal this week. are the thir-
tieth and thirty-first to ballot on the
question. The other 90 all have ap-
proved wiping the eighteenth amend
ment from the Constitution.
Repealists hope for final success by
November 7, when at least 80 States
will have made their decision. Drys
are striving to hold their lines. APP
proval of SO States is necessary to

CHICAGO, September ia posi-
bihty of increased business to street car
companies as result of the national
recovery program was pointed out today
by Walter A. Draper. Cincinnati, presi-
dent of the American Transit Associa-
ton.
In an address prepared for delivery
at the annual convention Of the organ
ization Draper said the shortening Of
the working week might result in in
creased popularity Of amusement parks
and thus affect street car traffic.
There is getting to be more leisure
time for everybody. and if amusements
and diversion are to be provided for
those days on which there is a general
layoff of employees it may tend to revive
the heavy movement by street cars and
busses to and from amusement centers
that formerly characterized Sundays"

Officials of the association also
pointed to the codes provision prohib-
