TAXI AGREEMENT
At 6e RATE AIM
Hohensee to Ask Heads OF
Companies to Come
to Terms.

Taxicab rate agreement that may
set general minimum Of IS cents
was to be sought this afternoon TO
settle the rate war declared at the
close Of yesterdays 12-hour strike.
Adolph H0hensee, who organized the
strike, declared at noon, following q
conference with members Of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, he would seek
q conference of the presidents Of all
cab companies.
This morning 1,7oO cabs were oper-
ating on q 35-50-70-90-cent rate
schedule; 1000 were on the old basis
Of 20-30-40-60. and the remaining
800, independents and union cabs un-
der Hohensee's leadership, had an
intermediate rate Of 20-40-S0-S0.
This rate was urged upon the p.
u. C. yesterday as the price of strike
peace. The commission agreed to
waive the customary To-day period
for filing notice of rate changes, with
the understanding the new rate
adopted would be the Hohensee
schedule.
The Public Utilities Commission was
vigorously attacked in the House to-
day by Representative Jack Nichols
of Oklahoma, a first-term member Of
the House District Committee, for its
part in the increased rates.
Representative May, Democrat, Of
Kentucky, q veteran House member,

Special agents of the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation today dug from
q canyon five miles south of Salt
Lake City. $e0,7O0 of the 5000, 900
ransom paid for release Of 9-year-
old George Weyerhseuser, ]. Edgar
Hoover, director Of the bureau, an
nounced.
Hoover said the money had been
cached in immigration Pass by Har-
mon M. VALLEY, 24-year-old ex-con-
vct, who with his wife Margaret, is
In custody Of Federal agents at Salt
Lake City.
The investigation director also dis
closed that VALLEY, in "an additional
confession" directed the G-men to
the buried hoard. and declared that
he and william Mahan. alleged ring
leader Of the kidnapping at Tacoma,
had split the ransom money.
VALLEY Burned $4,000.
Instead of getting his full share Of
100000 however, Valley claims he
was shortchanged 5000. OF the
SOS, 900. Hoover said, Valley declared
ne puTueO S4,UUU Wnen the C0ASe was
getting too hot for him and that he
spent $500 en- route to Utah from the
State of Washington. Between $15,-
600 and $4,000 additional Of the ran
som money was recovered Sunday in
Mahan's abandoned automobile at
Butte, Mont.
Director Hoover said the huge sum
dug up today was wrapped IN black
oilcloth and had as an outer covering
an old "gunnysack." The pass in
which the money was hidden is the
one through which Brigham Young
first entered the soriginal site of Salt
Lake City.
Hoover disclosed, moreover, that the
kidnapers' hideout, located in Spokane,
Wash, yesterday by Federal agents,
was identified positively today by the
Weyerhaeuser boy. He recognized the
cupboard In which he was held pris-
oner for two days.
It Is understood the bureau Is oper-
ating on the theory that only two
men, Valley and Mahan, took part In
the abduction plot.

which were banned from Italy many

UNCLE WIGGILY's LEMONADE

In Woodland, where Uncle Wig
gily lived in his hollow stump bun
galow, the weather became very hot
after the Fourth of July. 1t was
so hot that the little rabbit girls
and boys, as well as the other an
imal children, began going about
wearing no hats and sometimes
wearing no shoes. They were COOL
er that way.
One day it was so hot that Buster
and Duster. two Of the rabbit boys,
asked their mother if they might
make some lemonade and sell it at
a little stand along one of the
paths in the woods
Why yes you may make lemon
ade," said Mrs. LongearS. But do
you think any one will buy it from
you?"
"Oh, yes" Buster answered. "It
is so hot that every one who comes
along the path will be thirsty"
And when they see our lemon
ade with ice in it." said Duster,
they'll want a drink and we'll sell
them penny glasses and 2-cent
glasses and we'll make a lot of
money.

that he had answered them we'll,
asked him, Which is the first COM

DO I'VE WANT TO DO IT?

We can do it if we wish, and we ought
to wish to do it.
Before the Safe and Sane Fourth of
july movement came into existence
some two decades ago, our casualty list
on the morning following the nations
birthday, read like the report of a major
battle, with hundreds being killed and
thousands injured, many of the latter
being crippled for life.
The Fourth of July statistics eventu-
ally began to make an impression on the
people Of the country, with the result
that movement was started to cut down
the element of danger in the explosion of
fireworks as part of the Fourth of July
celebration.
The death toll of the nation yesterday
as the result of firecracker accidents,
was held to two. The list of those in
Jured was not available as this was writ
ten.
If we can arouse a national sense of re-
sponsibility to the point where Fourth
of July celebrations are safe and sane,
we ought to be able to do the same thing
regarding our automobile traffic toll.
Yesterdays list Of deaths from this
cause took second place to drownings,
there being Al of the former and "a of
the latter. But the ordinary weekend
u dA1iS loll 10 SeHeTdlly HucH larger IldH
this.
The old Fourth of July casualty list
was the result of just one thing-reck-
lessness. This is also the cause of the
great majority of automobile tragedies.
Until We can make every automobile
driver realize that he is responsible for
his own safety and the safety of others,
we will not get very far in our attempts
to cut down the automobile death toll.
We succeeded in getting this idea of per-
sonal responsibility across in the case Of
fireworks and we can do it with the au-
tomobile menace too-if we wish to do
it.
Perhaps the difficulty is that safe
and sane automobile operation requires
concentration and attention every day in
the year, while the need for care with
fireworks comes only once a year. This
is all the more reason why we should be
careful. A constant menace is always
more dangerous than an occasional one
and warrants greater attention.
We can cut down the automobile toll
if we wish to, but the job is up to all of
US.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt went back couple
of hundred years to the battle of
Blenheim for a parallel to the big
fight over utilities control.
He quoted line from Robert
Southey's poem, After Blenheim,"
to reporters who asked him how he
felt about the fight.
The line was:
"Why, that, I cannot tell, said
he, but twas a famous victory
Reporters were a little mystified
at what Mr.. Roosevelt was getting
at but try as they would, he par
ried all other questions for elucid-
alton of his attitude.
Reading of the poem-one that
almost every schoolboy knows and
has forgotten by the time he gets
to be a White House correspondent
made the Presidents thought a
good deal clearer.
The poem tells of "Old Kaspar,' y
who lived in his cottage on the
site where the battle had been
fought, years before. Two children,
playing, find a white object large
and smooth and round" and bring
it to Kaspar who Identifies it as
the skull of a soldier who fell in
the battle.
Here are a few verses of the
poem:
