STYLES CHANGING INTRANSPORTATION Street Cars to Hold Business by Best and Cheapest Rides, Says Expert. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispaich to The St PLATTSBURG, N. Y. June 26— Styles have changed in transportation s in other things, and it behooves the ,traction interests of the country to keep up with the styles if they would retain their position and prestige. That was the advice given transporta- tion men at the meeting of the New York State Railways Association here by L. S. Storrs, managing director for the electric raflway industry. He urged traction compinies everywhere to put their houses in order and lay the facts frecly and frankly before the | public. I': Geclared the public would be fair if given service and told the truth, Must Improve Equipment. uipment must be modernized,” he stated, “and electric car and bus service co-ordinated. This admits of The electric railway st keep up with the times or it will pass out just as surely as the horse car and the side-wheel steamer. It must constantly improve its electric cars and supplement its service with busses and such other forms of transportation as are in keep- ing with public demand. “The local transportation company which does not supply attractive serv- ice cannot hope to do a profitable business any more than the merchant whose shelves are led with shop- worn and old-fashioned goods. The selling of rides is a plain business proposition. The merchant who deals in the best and cheapest rides is go- ing to get the business.” Electric Railways to Stay. The bus is here to stay, but it is a ridiculous assertion to -say it will wholly supplant eiectric railways, Mr, Storrs declured. The traction com: panigs can utilize it as part of their seg¥ice and he predicted that within 2 few vears bus transportation will be conducted on a scientific, profitabls and properly controlled basis with the electric roads operating the larger part of the bus lines. “Busses are being produced in large numbers,” he continued, “and an army of high-powered salesmen are doing their utmost to find a place for this output. An honest effort is being mnde by a majority of the leading bus manufacturers to place their product first with the electric raiiways, bur, failing in this, they turn to inde pendent operators. 200 Roads Have Added Busses. “More than 200 roads now are sup- plementing their car service with bus lines, but there exists much duplica- tion of service, complicated by a de- sire of unseasoned transportation men to plunge into what appears a bo- nanza. “This situation will not continue. Economic laws, if nothing else, will prevent it. Our industry has supplied the bulk of local transportation in the last 35 years and will continue to do so. Moreover, it will supply It at a cause people of this country 'S pay a fair price for ade- quate service once they are made to understand the facts about it, and we must tell them the facts.” LUMBER OUTPUT DROPS.

HEAVY SHORT INTEREST PREVAILS IN MARKET Bears, However, Are Limiting Op- erations Because of Strong Resistance. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 26.—The opinion prevails in the financial district that a larger short interest now exists in the stock market than at any time since the first of the year, it being the kind of market to invite short selling, owing to suggestions by most of the commission houses, floor traders and professional op- erators to sell stocks. The number of traders short of small lines of stock ranging from as low as 10 shares up to 200 shares is said to be unusually large. In u majority of cases, however, the “bears’ are said to have found that resistance decline. — S o WALL STREET NOTES.

FRIDAY, COMPETITION IN BUS LINES IS UNLIMITED W., B. & A. Cannot Get Exclusive Rights for Washington Service to Annapolis. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, June 26—The Mary- land Public Service Commission can- not give the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad an exclusive permit to operate busses between Washington and Annapolis. President Doyle said the company is willing to operate a bus system if it could obtain such a permit. The Wash- ington Motor Coach Co. also has asked the public service commission for per- mit blanks. A recent ruling of the Supreme Court prevents the Maryland commission from refusing permits for interstate operation, members say. No matter how many persons applied for such permita over the same route all would have to be accommodated. Chairman West belleves this is pre. venting the starting of such interstate busses because of the possibility of un- limited competition.
