Through the lean, hard hungry days of the north, the pioneer sourdough" stuck, come what may. He was a power in his cho- sen field, a good citizen of great worth to his country and an up- builder. Yes, an empire builder, in the true sense of the word.
 His life stands out as an exam pie of what pure grit can accom- plish in frontier country. HaV- ing won his fight, and conquered the wild places, most of them have passed over into that quiet valley that is dimmed little, like a memory is dimmed by time. Those who are left, be- nevolent spirit carries on in the same idealistic way. With us, the rough of the pioneer days fades into the past, soft, and swift, and beautiful.

 lice stood guard over the treas ure.
 I saw frontier justice, grim and terrible, but righteous. Two white men and a negro killed a prospector, the Mounted Police hit the trail, brought them back to Dawson, and five days later they had been tried, convicted, and were sWaying at the ends Of the hangman's ropes, where they were left for time-as an ob- ject lesson to others of their kind.
 And so, these things of the past crowd upon the memory. Shall we not say-you and l, part ner-that along with the chasten- ing sorrows 0 f life-mysteries, which it is not given to us to un- derStand-have come to us both, the generous rewards of service, that into us the line has indeed fallen in pleasant places.

 Such a desire may be a strong factor in some local situations, but it is difficult to visualize it, on practical terms, as tur ling the tide for or against any national ticket.
 Conditions Prevent Forecast
 In the campaign of 1856 all sorts of cross-currents are at work. It would be a miracle if, four months before the election, anyone could assess accurtely the relative strength of these many factors.
 Involved in President Roose- velt's candidacy for reelection there are certain fixed quantities. He has a record, known to the country, and he must stand on that record. Still even about him there remains the cloak of a con- tinuing speculation as to what new policies, if any, he will pro- ject into the campaign.
 In a large measure, Governor Landon still has to make the ac- Quantance of the American peo- pie. He is destined to be much better known, and to make far more definite impression one way or the other, before election day.
 The strength of the right-wing Democratic defiection led by Al Smith and others still is to be measured. The independent move ment headed by the Lemke--

was called a 'Townsendgram,' didn't
you?"
Il don't know"
And by sending this document
through the mails you raised an addi-
tional 11,4s0, didn't you? And this
was after the Washington delegation
had gone home?"
Il don't know. I haven't exact rec
ords." the doctor answered.
You don't know, do you. that your
national headquarters used the mails
to defraud in sending out this ap-
peal for funds which weren't needed"
Il don't think there was any fraud"
II told you I never saw that par
ticular appeal before" the Doctor
answered.
We'll. maybe you will hear Of this
fraud matter later" Sullivan added.
The Townsendgram, sent to all
clubs. follows:
Further contributions to congress
sional action fund greatly needed i'm
mediately stop Disastrous to our cause

from Washington DC stop Consult
your president and please secure IA

do not show any contributions for
this congressional fund from your club
yet stop Strategy committee suggested
quota fifteen cents per member as
minimum stop Appreciate your send
ing amount available within one week
stop Several notable victories reported
for Townsend cause this week.
Sullivan then read several bulletins
sent out by national headquarters in
which importance of the Washington
pressure was emphasized. Necessity
for funds to carry on this work was
stressed.
One of the bulletins, which Sui
Ivan claimed went out when only
$1,000 of the $3.50 had been spent,
said the fund had been exhausted.
You did know something about
these appeals. didn't you?"
when this movement started the
work was divided. I was concerned

with the philosophical presentation Of
this program. 1 presume I knew of
some of these appeals" Townsend
answered.
The Towsendgram was signed by
Charles H. Randall, chairman of the
National Strategy Committee, former
Congressman from California.
AT this point, Sullivan informed the
committee that Randall had asked to
testify before the subcommittee on
that his signature had been forged on
the appeal for extra funds.
Sullivan read the Randall testimony
in which the Californian denied sign
ing the message. He had nothing to
do with sending the appeals through
the mails, he insisted.
What were the victories to which
the message referred?" Sullivan asked.
L don't know; they seem to have
been rather empty ones" Townsend
said.
las a matter of fact, that was a
fraudulent claim. wasn't it?" Sullivan
shot back
Il presume it meant several Con-
gresSmen had been approached and
shown themselves more cognizant of
the Townsend plan," the witness re-
piled.
Responses Of clubs then were intro
duced in the form of letters from club
treasurers Most of them we're able
to forward only small amounts-from
IS to $25-with the explanation that
many members were on relief. in in
stitutions for the poor or in other
ways unable to raise more.
DR.. Townsend was repulsed in his
effort late yesterday to insert in the
records of the House investigation a
12-page statement Of the Townsend
old-age pension philosophy"
In addition to blocking submission
Of the prepared statement, the COM
mittee late yesterday also dashed out
at the doctor for his reputation Of
Representative John McGroarty, Cali
fornia Democrat, and subsequent
espousal of the candidacy of Senator
Borah, Idaho Republican, for the
presidency. He admitted that Nc
Groarty had done more for the Town
send cause than any other man in
public Office.

ments are being made on the BUSES
by the manufacturers and the COM
pany soon will have greatly improved
shop facilities for handling break
downs.
Drivers Create Problem.
Another factor. he declared, has
been that some Of the drivers, many
of whom formerly operated street
cars, have not been able readily to
adapt themselves to bus driving.
when We find a man can't learn
to operate bus" he said. I'VE take
him off, but we do not intend to fire
any of our old employees unless We
have to do So"
Testifying at the recent hearing
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion, Hanna pointed out that the
company has $500 employees. includ-
ing about 2,100 on street cars and
busses. The company pay roll, he
said, is over s5,500,000 a year, the
largest in Washington outside of the
Government.
Granting that there has been some
overcrowding of street cars and
buses. he contended 1t has not been
as serious as generally believed and
added that it will never be possible
TO provide seat for every passenger
at all times.
No Stinting Of Money.
Concluding his statement before
the commission, he said:
We will prove that there has been
no stinting in the amount of money
that this company has spent. think
l referred to the fact that one of
the things that was hoped for from
the merger was economy in operation.
That, gentlemen, has not been
achieved. except so far as the general
administration is concerned. We have
more men in the mechanical force, we
have more men on the track force.
We have vastly more operators. OF
course, that Is due to the increased
business. but We are operating with
more men in the track department,
than We did before.
"In going back over these two years
I can see scores of mistakes that
myself have made and that the mer
in the other parts of this company
have made. We are not perfect. When
go back and look it over, when !
know what these men in this organiza-
ton have done, what they had to
do, what they tried to do, and the
accomplishments that they made, ]
tell you, gentlemen, am proud OF
the record that this company has
made in two years."

H|NDENBURG FLIES
OVER NOVA SCOTIA.
DirigibIe Making Good Time
on Second Return Trip
to Germany.
BY the Associated Press.


LAKEHURST, N. j., May 2l.-The
dirigible Hindenburg headed back
across the Atlantic today. its skipper
hopeful that the winds which retarded
its westward flight would speed 1t to-
ward Germany.
The trip will complete the second

the Zeppelin between Germany and
the United States this Summer. Be-
fore its scheduled return here June

second South Atlantic crossing to Rio
de Janeiro.
Fifty-One Passengers Aboard.
Aboard were 81 passengers, one more
than the giant dirigible's normal ca
pacity, and a 2h4-ton racing plane
belonging to James H. Jimmy Haiz-
lip, st. Louis speed pilot.
Twenty minutes after the last bus

spent more than S5,000,000 for new
equipment and Improvements and es-
Inmates that by the end of this year
it will have spent more than $1,000
600.
Eliminating track improvements
from the picture, this is as much as
was spent for similar betterments
from about the time of the war up
to the merger by both the Capital
Traction Co. and the Washington
Railway & Electric Co.
The money for these expenditures
has not come from operating revenues
since the merger. but was made up
largely of from 100000 to S6,O00.-
900 on hand after the merger. Half
of this came from the old traction
company and the other half from the
Washington Railway & Electric Co.,
controlled financially by the North
American Co, holding concern.
Expenditures Listed.
Expenditures already made include
227 modern BUSES. $2,067 900: 20 new
street cars, $4,000; new Tenleytown
bus garage, s33O,O00; track changes
for rerouting, 1888 900; track renewal
and special work, $4,000; shop and
Office additions, $4,000, and tools
and garage equipment, cables, ETC.,
1903 900.
Among the new items scheduled for
this year are 35 new buses, $3.50 900;
new bus garage in South Washington,
$3.50 900; street cars and car i'm
provements, $4,000: track changes
for rerouting, 1857 900; to complete
1885 track renewal program, s188. 900:
1896 track renewal program. $500, 900,
and rail-bus terminal, $4,000.
AS Of last Monday, the company
was operating 358 BUSES and SOL
street cars. In 1888 it operated 1872
BUSES and 487 street cars, although
at that time it owned 173 BUSES and
755 cars, the additional equipment
not being in use.
Connecticut Avenue Problem.
Hanna said one of the company's
big problems now is on Connecticut
avenue, where BUSES were substituted
for street cars last September. The
cost Of operation per passenger mile
on buses, he said, is higher than on
streets cars and the Connecticut
avenue line has been losing money
Hanna said, however, that he hoped
it would be possible to put it on q
paying basis in the future.
Discussing the question of improper
spacing of vehicles, with consequent
overlooking, the company president
said two factors have been primarily
responsible. First, he said, the condi-
ton is due to congested streets and
irregular traffic flow. This, he con-
tended, results in buses being thrown
off schedule so that later BUSES would
overtake those delayed at bad traffc
centers like Dupont Circle, causing
the equipment to pile up"
The other principal factor, he said.
has been breakdowns on the buses
themselves. He said the company
has had considerable trouble with this
condition but added that improve

indicative of the company's increased
operations since the merger, show
that the main trouble lies in oper-
ating expenses.
Believes Expenses Will Be Cut.
Hanna believes the operating ex-
penses will be cut. but there seems to
be considerable reason to doubt whether
the company's books will show a
profit without some kind of an in
crease in fare.
Net income in the first part of
1884, Hanna said, was good because
the decided increase in passengers.
resulting largely from the company's
introduction of the universal transfer
and the pass, was not Immediately
offset by a corresponding increase in
expenses. BY 1885 expenses in the
form of wages, additional men, mileage
extensions. ETC., had increased mater
tally, he declared.
From the first three months of
1884 to the corresponding period in
| 1886, Hanna said, wages jumped from
1912, $40 to 81 ,390,125. This was due
| to the hiring of some 700 additional
men to handle the passenger increase
and an increase in the rate of pay last
year. Employees who received from %
cents to Is cents an hour during the
days of the f1ve-cent fare at the time
of the war, Hanna said, are now re-
ceiNng from IS to II cents an hour.
Do C,,t- Tt
Another factor contributing to the
! company's financial position has been
the unexpectedly wide use of the pass.
First issued in December, 1888, the
pass, according to Hanna, was de-
signed to popularize the service, and,
incidentally, fill up buses and street
cars that were running without full
loads.
The pass, however, accomplished
more than had been anticipated.
During the first week 5000 passes
were purchased. Now about $4,000
are sold each week, and the company
estimates that each pass is used about
80 times a week. In other words, the
company transports about 2624,00O
| pass riders each week at an average
fare Of 31s cents for the dollar pass
and four cents for the $125 pass.
At the time of the merger the aver
age fare was rs cents. With the use
Of the weekly pass, the average fare
Is now about 6 cents.
Experiment Not Failure.
Hanna, however, does not believe
the pass experiment has been fail
ure. Its use, along with the natural
increase in population, has increased
the number Of persons patronizing
the lines to greater extent than IN
any other comparable city. However,
1t has also increased operating ex-
penses, and the balance between the
two seems somewhat disproportionate,
to the company's detriment.
Since the merger, the company has
