i DVISORY COUNCL HIT ONEMAN CARS Extension of Conductorless Trolley Plan Opposed hy Citizens’ Group. The Citizens' Advisory Council last night joined the ranks of protestants st the extended use of onc-man rs in the District. The council registered its opposi- tnw most vehemently by adopting, without a dissenting vote, a_motion of Kenneth P. Armstrong. which re- quests the Public Utilities Comm to adhere strietly to the policy of the former commission in refusing to per- mit an increase in the number of the conductorless cars in service at the present time. The fundamental mo- tive this actios to allow the inies to replace the old one- ars now in operation with those of the more modern type, but to continue in force the restriction on the total number now in service. All Phases Discussed. phase of the one-man car discussed thoroughly b The economic sireet ¢ Every question fore the council acted factor was given special consider: tion. but the ultimate conclusion reached was that the solution of the financial difficulties of the car com- panies lies in a me and not in an increased operation of the conductor- rt on the one-man car prob- prepared by Mr. Armstrong, adopted, pointed out not apparent that the opposition to the conductorless ca has lessened since the former Utili- ties Commission announced its pol- | fey to restrict the use of this type| of The doubt advocates report likewise expressed as to the arguments of the the one-man cars that the newer type would attract addi- tional patronage. In fact, it spe- cifically declared that the statement of the Washington Railw Electric Co. that a 25 per cent in- | crease in patronage had resulted on the Wisconsin avenue line since the intreduction of the new ty: man cars “is not convincing, service prior to that period was in- ferior. Hege Opens Discussion. The Armstrong report further ex- plained that the 30 new type one- man cars which the W hington Railway and Electric Co. proposes to purchase would cost $2,600 more each than new two-man cars. The company, however, it pointed o\l!.I would save about $2,000 a year on each of these cars in operating ex- penses by having the motorman serve as a conductor also. The discussion of the one-man car question was opened by Edwin S. Hege, who read stafistics showing the results of conductorless car ‘e periments in other cities. Mr. Hege also related observations he had made during a three-hour ride yesterday on one-man cars plying between Dupont Circle and the business district. Contrary to popular belief that the one-man cars slow down operating | schedules, Mr. Hege said, he found that in most cases conductorless cars on which he rode frequently crowded the two-man cars ahead. Mr. Hege emphasized, however, that his obser vations were made during a_non-rush period, and there undoubtedly would be some delay when the motorman- conductor is required to make change and issue transfers to a large number of passengers. PRESIDENT-ON WAY BACK'TO DAKOTA FROM YELLOWSTONE (Continued from First Page) - the park and that he disliked to leave behind all the wonders of this na- tional piayground. Moreover, he en- joyed the fishing for cutthroats, or black spotted trout, and he said he boped to be able to visit the park again some time. Mrs. Coolidge said she had the time of her life. Her actions and her ex- pressions corroborated this state- ment. She was in such high spirits | last night that she indulged in five dances on the ballroom floor of the hotel. She appeared to be as happy as a schoolgirl. She and her son had been sitting in the gallery looking on at the dancers and listening to the music for quite a while when she arose and informed John that she would like him to dance with her. She enjoyed it 80 much she danced again and again. Others who were her partners be- sides John were . M. Nicholls, manager of the Yellowstone Trans- portation Co.; Maj. James F. Coupal, the Coolidge family physician, and Horace M. Albright, park -superin- tendent, and Col. Blanton Winship, the President’s military aide. President Takes Walk. The President took a short walk about the hotel grounds after dinner and retired early. Just before dinner the President, accompanied by only two secret service men, walked a half mile to a remote, thickly wooded section to see some grizzly bears. He had been told by Supt. Albright earlier in the day where these bears could be found, but he gave no indi cation that he intended visiting them, and when he arrived at the bears haunt, instead of seeing one or two, he ran across a dozen or more of the largest bears he had ever looked upon outside a cage. They were all around the President, but they ap- peared to be perfectly gentle, al- though showing no inclination to make friends or to be petted. On the way to the canyon in the morning the President” car 3 stopped for him and Mrs. Coolid, 0 look at two large black bears and their four cubs. These came close to the car and raised up on their hind legs to be fed sweets. Probably in no one of the many other featyres of the park did the President show more interest or en- thusiasm than he did when he visited the Grand Canyon yesterday morn- ing. He and Mrs. Coolidge lingered on the rim of the canyon for more than hour, apparently fascinated by the inspiring and awesome scene below. Interested in Havks. It appeared as thouzh these two considered this great vie the su- preme one in the Yellowstone . They looked first from an artist point and then from an insp tion point on the other side of the canvon, and again as they were on their way to the hotel they paused on the rim at Point Lookout *o contemplate further the grandeur and immensity of this remarkable handiwork of nature. Tt was whila studying this scene from Point Lookout that the Presi- dent and Mrs. Coo ame in- terested in two large osprevs, known in this section as king fish hawks, They saw these snatch fish from the rushing water at the bottom of the canyon and carry them to their nest at the top of one of the rock peaks ‘1 the canyon. .

While the operation of "the treaty of 1924 mainly on the suppression of liquor smuggling will be one of the principal subjects discussed, , a re- arrangement of customs stations and ports of entry will be an important phase of the meeting, as observers of both governments feel the stations should be joined, instead of scattered along the border. The international horder, particu- larly in the vicinity of Detroit, is re- garded by Government officlals as presenting a serious law enforcement situation. Before Assistant Secretary Lowman succeeded Gen. Andrews, the latter had perfected plans for a fight on smuggling of liquor, narcotics and aliens, which trained the guns of the co-ordinated customs, Coast Guard and prohibition services on law vio- lators.

BLOOD TEST SHOWS LITTLE GIRL IS GYPSY Child Believed Kidnaped Quickly Proved to Be Daughter of Nomad Couple in Caravan. By the Associated Press, OMAHA, Nebr., August 27.—Blood has told. Little Rachel is a gypsy. Rachel didn't realize today that sci- ence and the law had to determine who she was. Rachel is only a few months over 2 years old and not ac- quainted with such things as kidnap- ing and blood tests. But at Oakland, Nebr., where the caravan of Peter John rested, there was joy. Two days ago officers had pulled back the flap from the gypsy wagon of Peter John and Peter John's wife and looked with suspicion upon the little girl, dressed so gayly, who played there. The officers suspected that Rachel had been kidnaped. Although Peter John and his wife protested volubly and long, the law would haye its way. Then there came word from Eureka, Calif., and Archer, Nebr., that mayhe Rachel was the child that had dis- appeared from one or the other of these places. It was up to the law to decide. Peter John readily agreed that a blood test be taken to decide whether Rachel were of gypsy blood or not. It was not the gypsy man's way; it was the white man's way; but Peter John was confident. And the blood test told, according to Dr. A. P. Condon, Omaha surgeon, who made the test. His decision came quickly. The tests showed without a doubt that Rachel was of gypsy blood, he said. So today at Oakland it was a happy caravan—Peter John, Mrs, Peter John and Rachel, smiling up at her mother. e GEN. McCOY AT POST. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, August 27 (#).—Brig. Gen. Frank R.
