The Navy dispatched the cruiser Richmond for Cuba to- day in addition to the three de- stroyers ordered to the island last night for the protection of American citizens. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. The moral effect of the pres- ence of the United States de- stroyers Claxton and Taylor in the harbor of Havana already has made itself felt. The two war- ships dropped anchor at 1:30 am,, and Ambassador Sumner Welles reported to the State Department | that there were distinct indica- tions that the general strike was beginning to lose some of its in- tensity. Busses and taxicabs ap- peared today for the first time in a week on the streets of Havana and it is expected that the street cars and the railroads will begin to operate within the next 24 hours. The officers of the two destroyers, ac- companied by Ambassador Welles, this morning paid their respects to the new Cuban President, Manuel de Cespedes. The presence of the American blue- jackets seems to have a reassuring effect upon the whole city. Mob Rule Feared. The decision to send thrée destroyers to Cuba, the Claxton and the Taylor to Havana .and the Styrtevant. to Manzanillo, was taken Saturday night when reports from the island indicated the celebrations following' Machado's departure were of such a nature there was a serious danger of the mobs rul- ing Cul Army Mixes With Civilians, The army was fraternizing with the civilians; larger quantities of alcohol were consumed than it was good either for the soldlers or for the civilians.

VIENNA PAPER CHARGES PLOT AGAINST AUSTRIA German Legation Accused of Send- ing Nazi Messages to Berlin by Illegal Service. By the Assoclated Press. VIENNA, August 14.—The semi-offi-| cial Reichspost declared today in a spe- | cial edition which carried the headline, “Conspiracy against Austria,” that the German legation in Vienna has been | assisting in illegal activities on the part of Austrian Nazs. The legation, the paper said, has been forwarding the mail of Austrian Nazis to Nazi quarters in Berlin means of an “illegal legation courié¥ service.” The paper also published what it de- clared was correspondence between German Nazi headquarters and the fol- lowers of the movement in Austria. These letters were said to have been confiscated in recent raids on secret Nazi quarters in Vienna. ‘They revealed, the Reichspost said, that there were plans to overthrow Chancellor Dolfuss’s, government by sabotage in Austria’s trade and in- dustry. «Puppy Love” By Alma Sioux Scarberry Begins on Page B-10 of “The Federal Government has suf- ficient power to establish such a bu- reau,” he said.

P Me: 5.CENT BUS FARE 10,000,000 WORKERS ORDERHITSPOLICY [ESTIMATED UNDER OF TRACTION LINES Utility Commission Criticizes W. R. & E. in Ruling on One Short Route. DENY VIRGINIA GROUP 14TH STREET BUSINESS Blame Loss of Revenue for Com- penies’ Failure to Keep Abreast of Demands. In an order bristling with sharp criti- cism of failure of the street car com- panies to meet demands of the Wash- ington public for modern transporta- tion, the Public Utilities Commission to- day ordered the Washington Rallway & Electric Co. to institute the first nickel bus fare that Washington has seen for many years. Today’s order was the result of a fight between this compeny and two Virginia bus line operators for the traf- fic on Fourteenth street to and from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and other large Government offices in that section. At a hearing on the matter recently the street car companies complained bitterly about the nickel fare which the bus operators were willing to put into eflect and pointed out that this was unfair competition, in the face of their declining revenues. The commission, however, bluntly told the street car companies today that declining revenues were their own fault. “The falling off of its patronage,” the company, “with the consequent loss of earnings, is due in part to the failure of the street railways to keep abreast of the demands of the public for mod- ern transportation service.” Nickel Route Outlined. ‘The route set for the new nickel line starts at Pourteenth and Water streets southwest, goes north on Fourteenth street to B street southwest, east on B street to Twelfth street, north on west on Constitution avenue to Twelfth street, south on Twelfth to B street southwest and west on B _street to Fourteenth and south on Fourteenth street to Water street. The origin of today's order was a petition by the Alexandria, Barcroft & Washington Rapid Transit Co. and the Arlington & Fairfax Motor Trans- portation Co. for leave to pick up and discharge intra-District passengers at points along their routes north of High- ‘way Bridge. ‘These companies previously had been doing this business for 5 cents, and the local street railways protested on the ground this was cutting into their revenue as the street car fare for the same business was 10 cents cash or a token costing 7!, cents. Order Nickel Bus Line. | The commission’s order today denied { the applications of both Virginia bus | lines and ordered the institution of the nickel bus line by the Washington Railway & Electric Co., starting August 21, for an experimental period. ‘The order, after blaming the street car company's declining revenues on | failure of the companies to keep abreast with the public’'s transportation de- mands, went on to say: “New and up : to date equipment, faster schedules, bet- { ter routings, free intercompany trans- fers informative advertising and proper merchandising of the service rendered, | i | other forms of transportation and help regain lost patronage. Y “Street railways have for the time being lost their one-time monopoly on transportation. The day has passed when the needs of the public can be ignored. Reliance cannot be had solely upon the fair value rule to ad- just the rates to provide revenue which might otherwise provided by meet- ing public demands for service. Fur- ther fare increases would most .likely result in still less income. Added rev- enue could only be secured by furnish- ln;;x the public the service they re- quire. Merger Would Mean Saving. “Steam railways and other forms of transportdtion are reducing their rates of fare in order to meet competition and to provide more adequate rev- enues. However, under existing traffic conditions, street cars must be relied upon to provide mass transportation. A merger of the two street car sys- tems should result in large economies in the operation of the combined sys- tem. If the new company will meet the public demand for modernization of street car service, and thus in a measure effectively meet competition from other forms of transportation, it should have little occasion to complain of the lack of proper return. “Furthermore, even under existing transportation conditions within . the District of Columbia, a very large num- ber of people are dependent upon the streét railways for transportation.

A’s Blue Eagle were held today by officials to be hovering over a quarter of the | Nation’s 40,000,000 workers. And to assure that the wage-raising, work-spreading bird would cover even more territory, President Roosevelt and his helpers launched a new series of meetings to map out the future pro- gram. One was today, the first conference between Hugh S. Johnson, national re- covery administrator, and President Roosevelt since the Chief Executive re- turned to Washington from his short vacation. Johnson’s aides, during his jabsence in St. Louis for a speech last night, reported progress to the Presi- | dent, but Mr. Rousevelt wanted a per- sorénl discussion with his chief lieuten- ant. Will Meet With Council. ‘Then tomorrow the President is to | meet his Recovery Council to see that all phases of the Federal effort to better conditions are being synchronized. | “Because the President has accepted much of the advice already given to him by Johnson, the expectation was that Mr. Roosevelt would approve an elaboration of the idea the adminis- trator is advancing now. as in Johnson's st‘.d Louis speech last night when he sald: “If you see a place where there is none and you do any kind of business there, you have a right to ask: ‘Brother, | where is your Blue Eagle?’ and (if the answer does not to you seem fair) to | take your business elsewhere. If every {person * * * did that for week, there would not be a store or a shop or factory in this whole country without its Blue Eagle.” Meanwhile, in the absence of data on which to base correct figures, N. R. A. officials declined today to estimate with any claimed attempt at accuracy how far they had come toward their original goal of putting 5,000,000 unemployed back to work by Labor day. But their guesses ranged as high as 1,500,000 and ias low as 200,000. 10,000,000 Under Blue Eagle. Score upon score of codes have been submitted, five major industrial plans approved, 40 to 50 industries sutborized temporarily to substitute their own un- approved codes’ hours and pay condi- | tions for labor provisions in the Roose- velt blanket c Through temporary measures su . that, N. R. A. officials estimated, fu 10,000,000 workers were, or s0on Woulc be, affected by the Blue Bagle. They carefully explained they did not mean that 10.000,000 new workers had been ar would be hired because of what had so far been done.
