'MY CRITIC'S A DOG CATCHER!' HA!SAYS MARY Opera Singer ‘Tells All’ in Row With Editor. Gene Howe. BY EARL B. STEELE United Press Staff Correspondent DALLAS, Tex., Nov. 6. —Sprightly Mary Garden, who says she’s the only opera singer ever publicly criticised “by a dog-catcher,’’ is in town for a concert. She took lodging in a downtown hotel and bounced lithely across the room to greet reporters, a blitheoaae smile denying her 53 years. “Come in. Have a chair, while I tell you about that man, Gene Howe,” she said. “Honestly, it’s the best joke of the season,” she chuckled. "Did I make the man rue the day he criticised my singing last year? Oh!” She rolled on her lounge in laughter. Called “Tactless Texan” Howe is editor of the Amarillo News-Globe. In Amarillo he is called “The Tactless Texan." He is the peoples’ friend and specializes in finding lost > dogs lor Amarillo boys. He “panned" Miss Garden’s opera when it appeared in Amarillo last year and the tw’o wrangled for months through the hewspapers. “Before I went to Amarillo,” Mary resumed, “a friend sent me a copy of Howe's paper. In his column was a note to boys that if any of them who lost their dogs five days before or five days after Mary Garden came to town probably wouldn’t get them back.” The joke ended there for Miss Garden. It seems Howe went on to explain he wouldn’t have time for dogs when Mary Garden was in town "Os all things! My critic a dogcatcher,” she mused. “But he isn’t really a dogcatcher. He is tall and handsome—charming." That Chevalier Smirk Her lips twisted into a Parlsien smile—one of Maurice Chevalier's specials. “I was so surprised when I met him. The Howes gave a tea for me last Sunday, you know. I had met my hostess, Mrs. Howe, and after a while a tail, attractive man edgea over toward me and stood gripning shyly. Mrs. Howe walked over and said, ‘This is Gene.’ “I was dumfounded. It didn’t seem possible a man like that could say such mean things. “But he was grand. I remember when I arrived in town. I went at once to Mayor Thompson’s bungalow, which he offered me. There, in the middle of the room was the most gorgeous bunch of chrysanthemums I have ever seen. They were enormous.” She stretched out her open hands to indicate magnitude. “I opened the card attached to them and it read: ’To Mary from Tack.’ ! “1 had the joke on him and so 1 j decided not to ‘rip his hide’ as I had \ warned him I would do from the i stage.” RITES ARRANGED FOR WILLIAM RASENER, 70 Veteran City Fireman Dead After Eight Months’ Illness.

URGE MAYOR TO MAKE STUDY OF TRAM PROJECT \ Early Action Is Requested by City Merchants’ Association. Three fundamental considerations involved in the proposed Insull plan for rehabilitation and control of Indianapolis’ street railway system were suggested to Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan by the Merchants’ Association today in a letter urging early study of the project. “In principle, we are sympathetic to the idea that an arrangement be made with a strong and experienced organization,” said the Merchants’ Association’s letter. “We feel,” it continued, “that there obviously are a number of fundamental items that should be solved Urge Fair Valuation “1. The question of supervision—whether by the public service commission or by a special municipal commission. And in the latter event, how the nkmbers are to be appointed. “2. A fair valuation for the property in its present condition. “3. Reasonable safeguards to prevent extravagant charges for power and administration, keeping in mind, however, that no efficient system can be operated without a profit.” “The city of Indianapolis, through you, its mayor, naturally will have to accept the responsibility of settling these problems,” said the letter. “We'believe it will be a detriment to the people's interests if these negotiations are long delayed, and we respectfully request you as soon as possible to have the proper authorities study this situation.” Must Be Monopoly “The fact that no transportation system can operate successfully without a monopoly, makes it particularly urgent that a sound and fair agreement be concluded.” Herman P. Lieber, president; E. A. H. Kahn, vice-president, and George Vonnegut, secretary, signed the letter at the direction of the association’s directors.
