She charged her husband with be ing a bootiegger, and turned over two Partly filled kegs of whisky to the} police.

Altho officials still have high hopes that the strike will be averted, preparations for any emergency were to be placed before the cabinet by the various department heads. It appeared probable that in the future President Harding Would either call the railroad ex- ecutives and the union heads into conference at the White House or appeal to them to get together and settle their differences.

BERKELEY, Cal., Oct, 18.—"The Queen of Sheba” has been dethroned 4 this year’s production of the Uni versity of California English club. It has been decreed by the college authorities that there are certain characters and plots of the drama} that, no matter how historically cor. rect, are “dangerous” to-the morals | of students, considered “too naughty ty co-ed to portray college purposes.” The young “intellectuals” have nothing to do but search for a new vehicle, altho some .of the’ propo nents of the discarded dramas have taken the stand that they have passed the prudish period” and were merely trying to keep up with the tendency of the times In their se and “insuited for * for a pret-| In other words, Sheba's queen is /| lection, Up to the Council “If five members of the council are willing to pass this ordinance in the face of an opinion that it is il- legal, it seems to me that at least five members should be willing, as temporary relief to the Cowen Park peo- ple, at least to restore the thru bus transportation to mt section by the approval of proper permits there- or.” _ That sentence, taken from Mayor Caldwell’s explana- tion of his veto of the $50,000 appropriation for a mu- nicipally-operated Cowen Park bus line, is the most logi- cal that has been offered in all the discus- sion that has been heard on the subject. The Star was in favor of the municipal bus line ex- periment—not because we believed it an inspired idea, but simply because we realized how urgently Cowen Park gneeds some transportation service. But we be- lieve that Mayor Caldwell has offered a better plan. As the mayor points out, it does seem fallacious to spend $50,000 to provide a service which could be given by private interests, not only without expense to the city, but at an actual profit—as the jitney men are to pay for their permits. : The entire explanation is a highly interesting docu- ment, and, altho The Star does not agree with every- thing the mayor says, he has briefed his case with His first contention, that the ordinance was un- timely, is well taken. Certainly no drastic change should be made in the street car policy until Superin- tendent Henderson returns from the trip on which he was sent by the council to study conditions in other The mayor also goes right to the point when he says that id transportation, properly regulated, should not be until we have something to offer in place of it,” and his ion that the proposed $50,000 appropriation—out of the street car fund—might give Stone & Webster an additional claim against the city is equally sound. The Star fails to see the validity of his argument that municipal bus operation is illegal—in view of the fact that, illegal or not, the city. is actually operating quite a few buses already. But we won’t quarrel with the mayor on that. The explanation of his veto is entirely satisfactory— And now it’s up to the council either to follow his sug- gestion or offer a better one. The principal fact to remember is that, in the mean- time, Cowen Park goes without transportation. Some- thing should be done—at once. “Heavy” in Home LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18.—Donald Crisp, who played the part of the brutal father In “Broken Blossoms,” also insisted in playing the “heavy” in his own home, eccording to the allegations of Mrs. Marie 8. ep in a@ separate maintenance suit on file here today.
