Water Supply in Dead Mans Basin

Mans basin near Harlowton will go a

Judge Tinsdale's face hardened.
WHO told you to say that?"
Peter hesitated.
It's what mother would want" he
finally ventured. And he wondered. why
an axiom so laudable should produce
a gesture so impatient.
Have you always done what your

CORONER TO PROBE
MURDERS MONDAY
Inquest in Hotel Slayings to Be
Every Interesting" Says
Chief of Detectives.

Police will take before q coroner's
jury Monday a mass of evidence,
much of it conflicting and confusing,
which has been gathered during the

Washington gamblers in a Houston
Hotel room early last Saturday.
Inspector Frank S. w. Burke, chief
of detectives, said the date of the in
quest, originally fixed tentatively for
yesterday, now is definite. He said he
expected the hearing to be very, very
interesting"
Those slain were Sam Melincov and
Bryant Mcmahon, who fell in blaze
of gunfire after a quarrel. Eight men
are believed to have been in or near
the room at the time
Police still are holding Thomas F.
Tobin, 80, described as a Norfolk, Va,
racketeer. and are searching for Sam
Berlin, alias Miller, who is believed to
have come here from Norfolk with
Tobin. The hotel room was registered
in his name.

VT. ROBERTS SUIT
ON CODE ARGUED
Injunction Case Alleging Vic.
Iations Is Held Under
Amusement.

District Supreme Court Justice
Jesse c. Adkins today had under ad-
visement the Governments injunction
suit against the w. F. Roberts Co.,
Inc, printing and engraving firm, for
alleged violations Of the graphic arts
code.
The case was submitted to the court
late yesterday after counsel completed
their arguments. The defendant COM
pany was given six days in which to
file motion for dismissal of the suit.
The Government, through Assistant
United States Attorneys David A. Pine
and John j. Wilson, claimed the COM
pany violated the code, which it never
signed. by paying its employees less
than the provided straight and over
time pay, by working its men more
than the maximum number of hours
permitted and in failing to post in its
plant copy of the code requirements.
The Roberts company, represented
by Attorneys F. Regis Noel and Harry
A. Grant, contended first that the code
was invalid because it had not been
properly signed by the President, and,
secondly, that it was complying sub
stantially with the wage provisions
and that the great majority of its en-
ployes were satisfied with working con-
ditions.

SCHOOL MEAL LIST
WILL Be REVISED
Weekly Changes to Be Made
to Make Sure No Child
Goes Unfed.

So as to be sure no child in the
elementary schools here goes without
lunch, the list of those eligible to re-
ceive free meals provided from Fed
eral Emergency Relief funds will be
revised weekly, Robert L. Haycock,
first assistant superintendent of
schools, announced today.
Service of the lunches will begin
Monday in the public schools and Oc-
tober l in the parochial schools.
Every Thursday throughout the
year public school principals will send
in revised figures of the number of
children in their institutions who
must be fed during the next week.
In cases where there are reductions
in the total, the information will be
telephoned in at once and immediate
changes made so as to prevent waste
The enrolment figure for the public
schools reached 86,707 yesterday, 800
more than the previous days total.
Several hundred additional students
are expected Monday. due to the re-
turn of late vacationists. No new
changes were made in the over
crowded schools today, officials feel
ing that orders issued yesterday for
the organization of additional classes
in five schools will take care of the
situation as well as possible with the
present limited facilities.

business men are those financially in
terested in the Washington Audi
torium. in which building the D. A. R.
held their annual conventions until
the completion of their own hall in
1929.
The case hinges on the words "in-
come" and profit" according to the
preliminary briefs which have been
prepared.
Tax Exempt Property.
An act of Congress in 1877, dealing
with tax-exempt property says in part,
ANY portion of building or grounds
which is used to secure rent or income
shall be taxed"
A later act. in 1902, says, property
used for educational purposes which
is not used for private gain shall be
exempt from taxes
The D. A. r. is piling up reports to
show there never has been any "pri-
vate gain" obtained from Constitution
Hall, which was built primarily to
hold their annual April conventions
They state the society withstood a
loss of $65,310 for the fiscal year end
ing March 81. 1888, when the income
from the building and the costs of
operating it and depreciation were
balanced.
If they must pay taxes. they will
simply shut the hall, D. A. r. Off

VALUE T0FEATURE
TRANSIT HEARING
Legal Argument Expected in
Request to Buy
Bus Lines.

The correst definition Of value"
one Of the most elusive terms in the
field Of public utilities. Is expected
to come up for extended legal argu-
ment when the Public Utilities Com
mission takes up the request of the
Capital Transit (street carr Co. to buy
the Washington Rapid Transit (bus)
Co. for s843,00o.
The hearing on this request has
been set for October Is. but today it
appeared certain this date would be
postponed. Some time between now
and October Is the hearings on re-
routing of the street car tracks will
be resumed, and the commission will
not consider the bus purchase until
after the rerouting hearings are over.
Reason for Delay.
One of the reasons for the delay, 1t
appears. was the question whether the
commission should allow the street
car company to set its price for the
bus company at figure which might
be paid by anybody desirous of ac-
quiring a bus line, or whether 1t
should consider the matter from the
point of view of the street car COM
pany anxious to absorb a competitor
The merger act, under which it is
mandatory to obtain the commissions
approval before the sale can be con-
summated, uses the phrase the fair
value" of the property, and there is
no other definition in the act.
The commission, it is known. is
giving careful study to the subject,
and the point is expected to be raised
early in the proceedings.
The attacks already leveled at the
s843 900 offer have been sufficient
to give the commission consid-
cradle pause. The press has con-
demned it in editorials, some Of which
are quite savage in tone. William
NICK Clayton of the Federation of
Citizens Associations. has said pub
licly the commission could not afford
to "stultify itself" by approving any
such price.
Opinion of Peoples Counsel.
William A. Roberts, peoples counsel
said he believed much Of the price
represented expenses to the North
American Co. in lobbying the mer-
ger through Congress" He has filed
a demand with the commission for de-
tailed data on this score.
The barbs have been especially
pointed because it is a matter of
public record that in the boom year
of 1925 the North American Co.,
anxious to acquire the bus line to put
into the merged transportation sys-
tenn here, paid $4,000 for the iden-
tical property for which the street car
company now proposed to pay
s843, 900.
Not only that, but President John
H. Hanna of the street car company
has called to the attention of the
commission the fact that the track
changes necessary in any Of the re-
routing plans under study will cost
some 81 .500,000 and has asked the
commission to hold the investment as
low as is consistent with good service.
Quite plainly the more the commits
sion allows the street car company to
invest in the bus company-the less
will there be to invest in new track
or euripment

Negotiations between a committee
Of our men, who later were joined by
the national officers representing the

upon them the financial condition of

impossible to grant any increases"

Federal Judge William C. Coleman,
in charge of the roads receivership
