All Raise a Great Hue and Cry After Accident Happens

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—History repeats itself. As lias happened since time Immemorial, the name of those who would lock the stable door after theft of the steed Is legion. In other words, Washington r<verlerates with the hue and cry of those now clamoring that there shall never, never be another horror like the Knickerbocker Theater calamity. The air Is thick with stentorian demand for investigation and punishment. Lamentations are loud thut many of the capital's places of public, entertainment "always” have been "notoriously bad" from the safety standpoint, and yet It seems to have required a slaughter to call real attention to the fact. So Saturday night’ catastrojilie with Its toll of death and grief probably ill prove a blessing in disguise. It may save the future sacrifice of many times the number of lives crushed out at the Knickerbocker.—Copy right, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

SKIP-STOP PLAN OF OPERATING CAUSES KICKS Satisfaction Predicted When Smooth Running Order Is Established. BEST ON LONG LINES Three days of skip-stop operation of street cars coupled with the new mid-dle-of-the-block loading plan downtown, have brought Innumerable complaints to the board of public works. The board and street rnilway officials say that they believe the new system when working smoothly will shorten the running time of cars from 10 to 15 per cent and will prove satisfactory when properly In op - eration. The Bame arguments used against 6klp-stop operation during the war period are coming to the board of works now. Most of the criticism comes from the south side. Residents there claim that skip-stop operation might save time on the long lines such as Illinois, College Central and East Washington, but the south side lines are much shorter and that ail the skip-stop does for them is to make it leas convenient to catch the cars. Officials of the street railway company claim that the skip-stop plan saves time no matter how short the line. They say it was necessary to speed up the schedule of every line in the city when the plan was used before and that they are changing all schedules now as rapidly as possible. FEW CHAMPION NEW LOADING PLAN. While the skip-stop in residence districts found considerable disfavor because it directly affects those persons who have to walk an extra block to get on cars, the middle-of-the-block loading plan found few champions. It represents the theory of the committee of the Indianapolis Chapter of the American Association of Engineers upon whose recommendation the new system was inaugurated. However, It is the complaint of many that in a majority of cases it works out that the cars make one stop to take on passengers and another at the corner, thereby slowing up progress Instead of advancing it. Those in favor of middle-of-the-block loading assert that this criticism is due chiefly to the fact that passengers always notice the stops but do not notice how many times the cars go straight through. They say that because of the law of averages the cars will go straight across the crossing as many times a* they are stopped. LEAVE TASK TO COMPANY. Meanwhile the board of public works has left to the Street Railway Company the task of changing stops in the residence districts to better suit the convenience of patrons. The board members went with James P. Tret ton, superintendent of the Street Railway Company, over the Illinois, Central and East Washington lines Monday afternoon to consider changes in stops. Few were made, however, grid the board decided to leave the matter to Mr. Tretton's Judgment with the right to order changes If deemed hereafter. The board announced that It will be glad to receive petitions for changes from citizens. Permanent stop signs of black on a white background will replace the tern porary red signs in a short time, Mr. Tretton announced.

Republican Senate Leaders Determined to Force Passage of Measure.

That is the veteran’s prerogative and ho earned the right to use it.” MacNider rapped Secretary Mellon for his stand against the bonus. “Instead of opposing the bill by pointing out the difficulties of financing it," MacNider declared, “Mellon would do better by finding and suggesting proper methods of raising the money. The nation who Mellon Is supposed to be serving wants this debt paid.” MacNider branded as false the statement of bonus opponents that the exservice men are divided on the bonus. John Thomas Taylor, legislative representative of the legion, told the committee that in his opinion 80 per cent of those entitled to a bonus would choose the paid up insurance policy which would eventually bring them three and a half times as much as the cash option.
