W.,B.&A. WALKOUT
ENDED IN FARLEY
Trains Running Again After
Company Grants 2H2
Cents Pay Raise.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
BALTIMORE, Md, September 90
The Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis Railroad strike was settled
shortly before midnight last night.
Service on the line resumed at am.
today.
Following what was practically an
all-night conference at the electric
railroad company's local terminal,
Harry T. Connolly, general manager
of the railroad, announced that strik-
ing tTainmen had agree to accept an
increase of 2la cents per hour in pay
and go back to work
Mr. Connolly pointed out that the
increase in pay given the strikers, who
had tied up all service on the road
since am. last Friday, when they
walked out and left trains standing in
the station, was almost the exact
equivalent of the per cent increase
offered the men by the road at the
very beginning. This also was attested
to by Mr.. Williams
No mention was made in the settle
ment, as far as could be learned, of
the trainmen's demand for a maxi
mum working day of 100 miles travel,
which was given as one of the reasons
for the walkout. They also asked for
a larger increase in wages than was
finally accorded them.

CHEVY CHASE BUS
CHANGES ARE URGED
Petition Signed by Fifty Pre-
scented in Behalf Of Grove
Section.

Immediate revamping of the bus
routes in the Chevy Chase area to pro-
vide service for residents of the Chevy
Chase Grove section was urged today
in petition signed by so residents.
The document was placed in the
hands of William A. Roberts, peoples
counsel, who said he would ask the
Public Utilities Commission to act
on the matter.
The petition signers reside generally
in the area between Military road,
Utah avenue and Rock Creek Ford
road and Thirty-second street. They
claim they now have no bus service.
Immediate relief was asked by Maj.
James L. Guion, 1857 Twenty-eighth
street.
Members of the Utilities Commission
said the matter was included in data
on the street car rerouting plans, now
being considered by commission ex-
perts, and expressed doubt if special
action would be taken on the one
question.

Balloon Barrage
Planned to Check
Starlings' Return
Colored Toys to Be Used
to ROut Pests From
FAVORED Haunts.

District forces under the command
of Clifford Lanham, veteran head of
the tree department, were preparing
today to wage a new campaign against
the starlings, now beginning to re-
turn to their favorite haunts here.
Lanham already has ordered the
purchase of 100 toy balloons, of a
kind which proved the most effective
weapon against the pests last year.
Tied to long strings, gay colored bal
looms last year were sent bobbing into
the faces of the birds, soaring them
away.
Constant use of the balloons will
drive the birds away from downtown
roosting places, Lanham believes.

PATIENTS ON INCREASE
AT DC. HOME FOR AGED

The District Home for Aged and In
firm cared for an increased number
of patients last month, the Board of
Public Welfare was informed yester-
day by w. Hubert Thorne, superin-
tendent of the home
The daily average Lumber of patti
ents last month was 713, one more
than the bed capacity of the institu-
ton. The number in July was ITO
and for August of last year, STA.
The cost of caring for the patients
last month was so cents day per
person, l cent more than for August
of last year. Elwood Street, director
of public welfare, declared this record
meant excellent management in the
face of increased costs of commodities.

P AND 0 TRAFFIC
INCREASE FOUGHT
Housing Expert Suggests
"Corridor" Would Injure
Abutting Property.

A warning against increasing the
traffic density on P or @ streets while
rerouting transit lines was sounded
today by John 1hlder, housing expert,
in letter to the Public Utilities Com
mission.
Whenever a street is made to carry
an abnormal amount of traffic, Ihlder
said, it converts the adjacent strip OF
property into a corridor" of blighted
land, with relatively low taxable value
Georgetown, he pointed out, is a
small, compact community which, be-
cause of certain unreplaceable char
acteristics, has maintained its value
more steadily than any other section
of Washington.
Traffic Held Heavy Now.
"A heavier volume of traffic than
is now carried on P street and g
street and Dumbarton avenue would
be destructive This traffic is already
too heavy. Transit facilities should
be confined to intoWn service, includ-
ing no territory beyond Burleith. II
either P or @ street is converted into
a corridor, then abutting property will
be blighted and the corridor will di-
vide Georgetown east of Wisconsin
avenue into two fragments, neither OF
which will have enough size or vi
tality to sustain itself. The result
will be very considerable blighted
area that will prove heavy expense
to the District taxpayers.
The heavy volume of traffic from
the Northwest, which will increase in
the future, can and should be routed
around the edges of Georgetown-not
through the center.
Wider Streets Opposed.
mo transit program" he wrote
should be approved that would cause
Georgetown streets to be widened
This would not only greatly diminish
TIE values of abutting property, but ii
would of itself create boundaries for
areas that are too small to be self
sustaining
1T is, of course, one of the first
principles Of city planning that wide
traffic arteries are and should be area
boundaries. and that the areas they
bound must be large enough to be self
sustaining units. Converting either F
or @ streets into wide traffic artery
would be bad city planning. Assign
ing of traffic now carried by all three
streets to any one of them would lead
to a demand for widening"

BLUE EAGLE WEEK
WINDOWS VISITED
Consumers Represented by
Three Federation Women.
Awards to Be Friday.

Washington merchants participating
in the Nations Capital Blue Eagle
week will have to wait until Friday
to learn just what three in the city
have the best educational and patriotic
window displays.
Three representatives Of the District
Federation of Womens Clubs, acting
for the consumers of Washington,
after a preliminary tour of inspection
yesterday, made their final tour today.
Before beginning their jaunt over the
city they met in the Office Of Sylvan
King, executive head Of the drive, to
outline their plans.
The group is headed by Mrs. Edgar
B. Merritt, acting president of the
federation in the absence of Mrs.
Harvey w. Wiley. The other members
are Mrs. Lloyd w. Biddle, first vice
president, and Mrs. Grattan KeranS,
departmental chairman.
Addresses Lions Club.
Meanwhile, civic clubs are taking
an active interest in the week and
today Mr. King addressed the Lions
Club luncheon at the Mayfiower Hotel,
outlining the advantages of N. r. A.
and the purpose of the celebration.
On Friday, King will address the
Reciprocity Club at luncheon at the
Hamilton Hotel. Other similar or
CARNATIONS have asked for and will
be assigned speakers.
The first out-of- town reaction to
the observance will reach a climax to-
night when a group of Baltimore mer-
chants will be guests of department
and speciality store executives at din
ner at the Hamilton at $50 o'clock
The meeting had already been
planned and when the Baltimore men
manifested their interest, they were
invited to come to the luncheon and
hear the entire program explained.
Last night the Federation of Busi-
ness Mems Clubs met at the Airing
ton Hotel in a special Blue Eagle
week session. Joseph A. Flanagan
speaking for N. R. A. national head
quarters, thanked the Washington
participants for the excellent support
they have given N. r. A He also
expressed the hope that every town
and city in the United States will fol-
low the example set by the National
Capital.
Air Addresses Continue.
Radio addresses continued today
and will be heard tonight from all four
Washington stations. Charles B. Dull
can was the chief speaker on the pro-
gram yesterday.
"One thing I cannot stress too
strongly" Mr.. Dulcan said, lis the
continued need of the cooperation of
all patriotic citizens We all know
of people who have been under a doc
tors care who have been too quick to
give up their medicine before being
fully cured Our country faces that
condition today. We have been par
TALLY cured of our depression ills,
N. R. A. is some of the medicine which
was prescribed for those ills We must
not let down until every person in
America who wants job has job. P"
He concluded with the declaration
that NJ r. A. depends upon the con-
sumner to make its purposes realities.

D. c. COMMISSION
MAYPARE BUDGET
TOAVO|D TAX RISE
Request for $14,117,911
for Schools Will Be
Studied Tonight.
100000 CUT SEEN
IN RELIEF PROPOSAL
Funds for Gallinger Hospital Ad-
dition Expected to Be Passed
Over This Year.

Striving to avoid an increase In
taxation by slashing estimates for the
next fiscal year submitted by the heads
of District government agencies, the
Commissioners today continued ex-
amining requested appropriations.
The city heads this morning heard
arguments of members Of the District
Parole Board, and the later were
to call on officials of the District
Supreme Court and the Water De-
partment for justification Of their le-
quests At a special session tonight
the Commissioners will study school
needs.
Appropriations totaling sl4,117,911
are asked for the next fiscal year by
school officials. This represents an
increase of s3,626,984 over appropri-
atoms for the current fiscal year.
Among the requests were several items
for school construction, alteration O..
purchase Of sites.
Sharp Cuts Expected.
Indications were these requests
would be cut heavily, just as requests
for almost all other departments are
facing slashes. The Commissioners,
however, made no definite statement.
A night session was reSorted to last
night to consider the sl2, 923, 900 bud
get requests of the Board Of Public
Welfare. This is s5,309,000 greater
than current appropriations for well
fare operations. 1t is expected the
Commissioners will reduce this total
by $4,000 900 by cutting that sum off
requested appropriations Of S5,0O0,-
900 for emergency relief purposes.
Other increases asked for other OPP
erations of welfare and penal institu-
lions also are expected to be slashed
heavily. as indicated some days ago.
1t is likely the request for funds for
construction Of a new ward building
at Gallinger Municipal Hospital will be
passed over. ...
Revenue Sources Studied.
Means of raising more District reve-
nues are being given serious considera-
ton by the city heads, it was said to-
day by one official, but since this mat
ter is subject to legislation, it is not
expected to be involved in the prepa-
ration by the Commissioners of their
proposed 1886 budget.
One suggestion has been for a l.
cent increase in the tax on gasoline
and use Of gas tax revenue to pay
the cost of a wider field of District
activities, such as park roads and
operation of the traffic directors Office
1t was said, however, the three COM
misisoners as yet have not reached
any agreement on this suggested
boost in taxes.
If the Commissioners find they can
not provide for operation of the Dis
trict and any absolutely necessary
capital Improvements under the pres
ent general revenues, expected to
amount to s33,438,0O0 next year, an
increase in the 81 so realty tax rate
will be studied, one official said today
Appropriations sought by depart
ment heads, payable out Of general
revenues total s46,433, 900. or nearly
S13,0O0,0 900 more than the expected
general revenues. with the tax rate at
$3.50 and assuming that the Federal
payment will be only $5,700,000.

NEW YORK, September 21-
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, marked
by authorities as the recipient of the
Lindbergh ransom money, is a man
of strange moods and contrasts.
A carpenter by trade, an alien and
unemployed, he bears, nevertheless,
every evidence of intelligence
high, broad forehead. wide-set blue
eyes, long straight nose.
His gray-checked suit is shabby,
his e-patterned tie stringy. his
brown shoes run down, yet his clothes
are obviously of good quality.
A typical Teutonic stolidness-sul-
lenness. some have called it-has
masked his face since his arrest.
Called Steady Workman.
To his neighbors in the Wakefield
district of the Bronx, Hauptmann Is
man of mystery. Even those with
whom he has worked call him a
steady and reliable workman, but un-
communicative.
For all his taciturnity, however,
Hauptmann communicated to his
neighbors something of his passion
for hunting.
He was great hunter" one man
said. Every Fall since he lived
here-and that's about three years,
should say-he would 60 away on
hunting and fishing trips"
This was borne out by the fact
that detectives searching the Haupt-
mann home found a double -barreled
