WASHINGTON. july 30-RsiI
Co-ordinstor Joseph B Eastman was
understood today to have recon-
msnded careful study Of the revolu-
tionsry postage stamp railroad
fare plan.
The plan proposes complete re-
vision Of rail passenger fare sched-

The rate would be the same
whether the ride was 100 or 500

express train the suggested fare
would be So The fare would not
apply to committing areas.
The scheme was devised by State
Senator John A. Hastings, New
York.
Mr. Eastman was understood to
have proposed to Senator Burton K.
Wheeler Of he Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee that careful
study of the proposal be undertaken
either by the Senate committee or
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
Mr.. Eastman was understood to
feel that preliminary and cursory
examination Of the proposal indi-
Gated it worthy of more exhaustive
examination.
In letter to Mr. Wheeler. it was
learned, he pointed out that while
the plan contemplated a subsidy to
railroads in order to get the system
going. he felt the plight of the rail-
roads was sufficiently serious to
justify some such arrangement if
study showed the plan 10 have prac-
ticsi possibilities.
As a general rule. however. Mr..

Rexford Guy Tugwell, director
Of the resettlement administra.

Boehne CD of Indiana, that fur.
niture factories established on
projects will be for the use Of
people aided by them. He said:
"Whatever furniture is manu-
factured in connection with any
resettlement project will be
made solely for the use of par
Elephants in our projects. AS the
income Of the people on the
project is not sufficient to per.
init them to purchase furniture
in the ordinary way and as none
of the furniture will be sold in
the open market there need be
no fear of Government cOmpeti'
ton"
Dissatisfied with this and other
letters of Tugwell on the subject.
Boehne addressed another letter
to him demanding specific infor-
nation as to the extent Of the fac
tories and whether or not the Gov
eminent will finance them.
Boehne asserted that several let

Forget about subways and clear
up local traffic conditions by pro-
hibiting parking in the downtown
area, James G. Yaden. president
of the Federation of Citizens AS
sociations today advised District
Commissioners.
In a letter to the District
heads, Mr.. Yaden declared the
civic group is opposed to construc-
ton of subways.
The Commissioners have ap-
proved a bill introduced in the
House by Representative Mary T.
Norton, Chairman of the House
District Committee, calling for a
survey of the needs for and pos
sible construction of a subway
system here, at cost of $25 900.
Peoples Counsel William A..
Robert advocated inclusion of the
sum in the 1897 fiscal budget dur
ing hearings yesterday, and the
Commissioners indicated approval.
However, Commissioner Dan I.
Sultan pointed out today the Dis
trict heads are not committed to
SubWayS.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
said the only official action taken
by the Commissioners is approval
of the Norton bill and that this
does not mec n approval of subway

RELIEF ROLLS
DECREASE IN
DISTRICT

Families on relief in the United
States in July dropped Al per
cent from the total drawing Gov
eminent aid in June. The July
relief roles were "A lower than the

These facts we're revealed today
in the preliminary report Of the
Federal Emergency Relief Admin
iStration covering operations for
the June-July period.

According to the report, the
number of families receiving relief
under the general relief program
of the Administration was $685..

3,822,252 in June and 1888, APT in
July last year.
No data on the number of single
persons and transientS receiving
relief was given in today's report
A year ago, however, there were
Sal ,633 single persons on the relief
roles, which brought the total OF
families and single persons to
4,375 ,060.
The Relief A Adm in S t r alton
estimates that the total number
of persons who benefited from
relief funds at that time was IT,,
130,525 or IA per cent of the
entire population of the country
This estimate did not include the

The weather did not dampen
the ardor of the large audience
that turned out to hear the con-

the Marine Band under the direc-
ton of Capt. Taylor Branson,
with the vocal assisting artists,
Anne Yago MacDuffey, Justin
Lawrie, and Edwin Steffe, last
night at the Sylvan Theater.
The Marine Band, in addition
to accompanying the singers,
played Hymn and Triumphal

scenes from lie Cid" (Massenet); !;
excerpts from Andrea Chenier"

latter overture probably was the
best suited to the concert band,
and Captain Branson called on the
utmost resources of the band in
riot of instrumental color and
exuberance, especially in the
Venusberg section.

Geoncavallo), in a convincing
manner. beautiful voice, and not
too much dramaticS.
Steffe Substitutes
Owing to the illness of Mr.
Frederick Freund, baritone, Mr.
Edwin Steffe took his place upon
short notice. Mr.. Steffe sang
"Vision Fugitive" from "Herodi
ade" (Massenet). in a captivating
voice and manner which was most
acceptable to the audience. The
theme of this seldom heard work
is shown above; the English words
to the theme are as follows:
"Vision fair! Fleeting art thou
while I follow ever, Angel who
dost my life from all earthly
bonds sever" Mr.. Steffe had sew
eral good chances for effective
crescendos on the high D (c'eSt
tod, with an ascending accom-
paniment, but they were passed
over lightly, possibly for lack Of
breath.
Mr.. Lawrie also sang duets with
both Mrs. MacGuffey and Mr.
Steffe; the tenor and baritone
duet, lone Solemn Hour" from
La Fora del Destino" (VerdD
and the contralto and tenor duet
Home to Our Mountains" from
I'll Trovatore" (VerdD. Each OF
the soloists responded with en-
cores such as Killarney" "Annie
Laurie" Drink to Me Only With
Thine Eyes" and Believe Me II
All Those Endearing Young
Charms" all of which were thor
oughly appreciated by the listen
ers.
The combination of the band
and the use of the most lyric selec'
tions from opera such as pre-
sented last night serve to make an
interesting operatic program. The
average listener is liable to tire OF
listening to the music that fills in
between the more tuneful songs in
a. complete opera, especially out.

be given an opportunity to hear
