Col. James Roosevelt, /,
1rainmen Disagree
On Who Asked Delay
6s the Associated Press.

!
CHICAGO, Jan. 29-The crack
streamliner, the City of Los Angeles,
on its way West made up the hour
and seven minutes lost when it was
held here Saturday night to permit
Marine Col James Roosevelt and
his wife to make connections, but
it remained undecided today who
asked that the train be delayed.
The Roosevelts arrived in Chicago
from Washington on the Pennsyl-
vania's Manhattan Limited, which
was delayed more than six hours
by bad weather.
E. w. Everson, assistant station
master of the Chicago and North
western where the Union Pacific
train Is made up, said he received
the request to hold the train in
telegram bearing James Roosevelt's
name.
Denies Making Request.
Col. Roosevelt, in Salt Lake City,
where the train arrived on schedule
last night, said Il didn't ask to have
the train held. 1t must have been
the conductor of the Manhattan
Limited who asked for it to be held. :"
The conductor, G. w. Kleinfelter
OF Fort Wayne. Ind, reported to
Pennsylvania officials he had sent
no telegram and that he was not
aware that Col. Roosevelt was pas
senger aboard the Manhattan Linz
tied, representatives of the road said.
Pullman Co. officials could not be
reached to determine if the request
for delay was made by a Pullman
conductor.
Mr.. Everson said the delaying of
the train departure was mot COM
mon but not unusual"
Train Held Before.
1T has been done several times
in the past year and three or four
times in the past six months" he
said. IF representative of a big
hrm on Government business or a
Government official must make the
we consider holding the
departure.
IF it had been any other Army,
Navy or Marine high officer making
the request, we would have done
the same thing"
Mr.. Everson said the Roosevelts
had reservations on the City of Los
Angeles, whose Chicago departure
was scheduled for 6 pm He said
their incoming train was due here
at 1920 pm, but was six and a
half hours late.
Expected Brief Delay.
Lynne l.. White, vice president
in charge of operations for the
Northwestern, said when the re-
quest was received it appeared the
City of Los Angeles departure
would have to be delayed only a
few minutes.
But the incoming train from
kept getting later and
later" Mr.. White said 1T vas
Just one of those things"
In Washington, Jonathan Daniels,
administrative assist
ant, was asked whether Col. Roose-
Velt had given the White House any
of the incident. He re-
piled, I'VE know nothing about
hat" Mr.. Daniels said he doubted
very much that the White House
would receive any explanation or
have any statement.

Protests Of IS on
Restaurant S License

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today has before 1t protests
against the issuance Of a class G
liquor license to william Levin, who
operates a restaurant at 50o2 First
street NV.
Forty-f1ve persons, neighbors and
others. appeared before the board
yesterday to oppose issuance of the
license, although the time for filing
protests had expired last Febru-
airy 81.
Lunch D. Waller, 4931 New Hamp-
shire avenue, manager of L. G.
Smith 81 Corona Typewriters, Inc,
in protesting as a resident of the
neighborhood, declared many fami-
lies there have growing children,
and a liquor establishment in the
neighborhood would be detrimen-
tai influence.
He asserted while notice of appli-
cation for a license was posted on
the door which is the legal address
of MIR. Lewin's place, in reality it is
the back door to the restaurant,
the customary entrance being the
alley entrance. He also declared a
drinking place would depreciate
property values.
Mr.. Waller said it is significant
that 36 to 40 property owners of
Square 3402, probably those most
concerned" have signed protest.
j. F. Parsons, who was on the
vestry of Rock Greek Episcopal
Church for 20 years, and was chair
man of the Executive Committee
managing Rock Creek Cemetery,
appeared in protest in line with the
church's policy of opposing the
licensing of any place within 500
feet of the cemetery. He represented
the Rev. Mr.. Charles w. Wood, rec
tor of the church.
Mrs. John B. Miller, 1898 First
street NV, was another who ap-
peareo to protest.
Dan Piver, attorney for Mr.. Levin,
asked that the protests be dismissed
because the time for such action
had expired. He said his client had
spent $4,000 improving his place,
and If the board does not observe
the return date it sets, that is, the
date by which any protests must be
filed, there will be no licenses issued
in the District.
