Some IS street car men may

the recent ruling of the Public
Utilities Commission that addi-
tional one-man street cars may

vice president and general man
ager of the company, admitted
today.
Mr.. Merrill said that effective
next Sunday changes in the
schedules of the Rosslyn and
Florida Avenue lines will mean
that "some 40" less men will be
required than in the past. None
of these men will be laid off
either temporarily or permanent
ly, the company official declared,
and many of them will be trans
ferred to other barns where the
number of extra men has been
below normal.
Silent On Hardship
Merrill refused to reveal
whether the transfer would, as
charged by union spokesman,
work a hardship" on the men
affected.
He said:
No true picture of the effect
upon the men will be available

vidual affected for a period Of

$4,000 SAVING
SEEN IF POST
IS ENDED
Commissioner Offers
Plan As Peoples
Counsel Quits

On the heels of the surprising
resignation of William A. Roberts
as Peoples Counsel, Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen has proposed
that the office be abolished and
its duties be absorbed by an as
Sistant legal advise of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission.
Roberts himself last week urged
that the office be abolished un-
less furnished with an investiga-
tional staff which would be de.
tached from the Public Utilities
Commission. He made this Sug.
gestion in an unofficial annual
report" sent out to all citizens
associations.
$4,000 Saving Seen
Commissioner Hazen pointed
out that abolition of the office
would save the municipality ap-
proximately $4,000 year, of
which $500 is paid out in sal
airy to the Peoples Counsel. He
suggested that the duties of the
office could be assumed by the
special assistant corporation coun-
sci assigned to utilities matters.
Coming as a distinct surprise,
Roberts yesterday confirmed that
he had submitted his resignation
to President Roosevelt effective
November l. He issued a state
ment that he would enter private
practive of law.
Battle" is Denied
In a radio address last night,
Roberts denied that he was leav.
ing 'the office because of any
battle with the Public Utilities
Commission" He added that most
! OF the things which I set out to do
at the time I came with the Dis
srict government are now accom-
plished."
Roberts entered the District
service six years ago as special
assistant corporation counsel for
utilities matters. He became Peo-
pies Counsel in 1884, succeeding
Richard B. Keech, who was
named a member of the Public
Utilities Commission. For the past
several years, Roberts and the
commission have been at odds.
They have taken opposite stands
on virtually every case which came
before the commission.
Prior to the time he was named
Peoples Counsel, Roberts con-
tested with Keech for the post on
the commission. He also was an
unsuccessful candidate for the Of
flee of Corporation Counsel, which
was given to Elwood H. Seal.

Known Also in Europe
The death of Mr.. Levi, who was
48 years old, came as a great shock
not only to Washington residents
but to thousands of friends and
business acquaintance throughout
the country.
AS vice president and general
manager of the Hecht Co., Mr.. Levi
was known not only in this coun-
try but in Europe as we'll as one of
the important store executives of
the nation, for he played an impor-
tant part in the development of
the company's six stores in Balti-
more and New York.
A nephew of Alexander Hecht
and Moses Hecht, president and
of the board of the COM
pany, Mr.. Levi started his career
with the company in 1905. A few
years later he was made store man
ager. Later he was the guiding
hand in the erection of the new
Hecht building.
Active in Charities
Despite the cares of business,
Mr.. Levi found time for many out
side activities. Never too busy
to heed the call for social and vel
fare service, he was active in the
Red Cross roll call, the Community
Chest campaigns and other char
ity drives.

Using Club, Mr.. Levi formed the

GIRLS SCHOOL
QUIzPLANNED

Fate of the 100000 appropria-
ton for new buildings at the Ma
tional Training School for Girls
and consolidation of all juvenile
training and industrial institutions
will be discussed tomorrow at a
meeting of District. Department
of Justice and the Bureau of the
Budget officials.
Blocking the efforts of two
United States William
H. King Cd, of Utah, and Royal
S. Copeland CD, of New York
who succeeded in getting the
100000 appropriation in the cur
rent District supply bill, the bud
get bureau held up completion of
plans for new buildings and re-
pairs at the girls school, Conduit
Road N. w. and the District line.
The budget bureau held up the
project, it was learned, because
the bureau adhered to the opinion
that before permanent repairs
should be made at the school,
consolidation of institutions
should be considered.
The bureau has advocated that
a consolidation be affected so that
all delinquent girls be under the
jurisdiction of one institution and
all delinquent boys under another.
In line with the bureaus plan,
it has been suggested that the De-
partment of Justice relinquish to
the District government juris-
diction of the National Training
School for Boys on Bladensburg

is in danger of becoming if trends of the past sew

than the plain truth that since the depression
DEPTHS of 1882 and 1888 spirit of what some
Fortnight persons would refed to as chronic belly
aching has been displayed on scale that is moth
ing short of alarming. The idea appears to be that
hard times are enthroned nothings right with the
world Results of the manner in which this spirit
of defeatism has spread through the land may be
seen. to name the most obvious example, in the
continuous not-lessening appeals to federal and
state governments for aid-not, we should say, the
appeals of business and industry that they be per-
nitted to run their own affairs but the mutations
of those who want something for nothing. Billions
of dollars have been spent for relief during the last
few years Much of this has been necessary, of
course; certainly no one should starve or even go
hungry, in America. But what of the future? 1t is
so obvious not to need repetition here that the
government cannot continue forever to pour out
money in such a fashion; it is not question of
what should or should not be done, it is question
of what can OF cannot be done. And this, we think
no sensible person will deny simply cannot be done
indefinitely. Yet there have been few decreases in
the relief rolls of the country The fact is nescap-
able that many of the people (not all, remember)
now obtaining relief from governmental agencies
have no plans at all for their future unless de-
vout hope that such relief will last forever can be
called plan. They are very indignant when it is
suggested that there must be a tapering off of
funds appropriated for relief, and their indigna-
ton mounts to anger when they spontaneously de-
eide that they are not getting everything they
should Witness the numerous relief strikes we
have seen in the last two years Too many of these
relief clients are not seeking private employment;
they prefer to stay on the relief rolls and bewal
their unhappy condition. And they compose large

grow, is going to make the United States, in the

HELL HAS BROKEN LOOSE IN SPAIN

News from Spain is that the government
forces are rounding up women and chill
dren of rebel families and that they will
be held as hostages and later shot. The
story may or may not be true. It is evil
dent that many rumors and distorted
stories have been coming out of Spain from
both sides in the conflict.
However, it is certain that the war in
Spain is one of the most savage, inhuman,
diabolical struggles in the annals OF ma
tions. Nothing exceeding it in savagery
and sheer inhuman brutality has ever been
recorded in the history of so-called civil
lied countries. -...
If any civilized nations remain in the
world, whose populations evidence the pos
session of measure of human sanity and
decency, after the present period has been
passed, it is difficult to understand how
they can allow Spain to remain member
of the brotherhood of nations. That will
be something for adjustment in the future.
In the meantime, world benumbed and
shocked almost into a state of national and
individual insensibility by the records of
the past two decades, is not stirred by the
Spanish atrocities as it would have been
prior to the World war. A worn and de-
jected civilization is breaking under the
strain of the hell that was loosed in 1914.
