Thousand of Them Are Operated Over Routes Totaling Fifteen Hundred Mlies. One thousand motor busses are now operated by more than 100 electric railways over routes totaling 1,500 miles In the United States and Canada, according to a survey recently completed by the editors of Bus Transportation. The figures Indicate an Increase of nearly 100 per cent In the use of busses by trolley companies since October 1, 1922. At that time there were only fifty-six companies operating 350 busses over 900 miles of highway. Of the 1,000 busses now In operation 225 are In the eastern states. The western states are rapidly approaching this figure, however, with 200. Wisconsin has the largest railway owned bus system in the world. The Wisconsin Motor Bus Lines, Inc., a subsidiary of the Milwaukee Electric Light and Power company, operates a bus system which spreads out like a huge fan from Milwaukee and covers 600 miles of highway. One hundred modern speed busses are used on this system. The next largest operation is run jointly by the Pacific Electric and the Los Angeles railway on eleven routes In southern California.

and for the moment at least, Flngland finds itself considerably less fright- , ened. The press generally congratulates MacDonald on the address he delivered last night to a gathering which jammed Royal Albert hall to the roof in celebration of labor’s electoral vic-
tory.
, As forecast by the United Press MacDonald set forth as labor’s first and principal objective when it assumes control of the government soon, a better understanding with F’rance and the world as a whole, recognition of Russia and support of the league of nations. Also as previously predicted in these dispatches, MacDonald revealed his intention of avoiding as premier, any laborite agitation for extreme legislation.

Mother of Little Animal Follows Ship for Eighty Miles and Recovers Infant. A sea captain not long ago captured n young seal, hoping to tame and rear it on board his ship. He placed It in u sack to secure it, but wide as the ocean was, and swiftly as the ship sped on, the mother was as swift, and followed In search of her young. When It was first caught the mother howled piteously and the “baby” barked back Its grief, but the man was relentless and coolly watched the agonized mother follow him till the ship reached the wharf at Santa Barbara, says Our Dumb Animals. Here he thought his prize was safe, for surely no seal would venture there, and the ship was docked. Suddenly the mother gave a cry close to the ship, and the little one, as If obeying Instructions, struggled, still In the sack, to the edge of the deck and rolled Itself overboard. The mother was seen to seize the sack, rip It open with her sharp teeth and Joyfully claim her baby. She had swum after It for eighty miles.
F’rancis B. Ragan, age fifty-six, president and owner of the Ragan Coal Company, 510 Traction Terminal building, died Monday nigth at his home, 29^6 Kenwood aevnue, Indianapolis, after an illness of about two years. Mr. Ragan had been a resident of Inidanapolis for about fourteen years. He was born in Greencastle in 1868, and attended DePauw University, Several years ago he went to Chicago and became traveling auditor for the Rock Island railroad. After holding that position for a number of years he became a salesman for the Consolidated Indiana Coal Company, of Chicago. Shortly after going to Indianapolis Mr. Ragan and Daniel H McAbee organized the Ragan-McAbee Coal Company. The partnership was dissolved about two years ago, and Mr. Ragan continued in the coal business himself. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias lodge of New Bethel, where he lived a number of years, the lied Men’s Lodge of Kirklin, and the North Park Christian church. Surviving him are the widow, Mrs. Ethel M. Ragan, a son, Francis B. Raj^in, Jr., and a brother, Homer B. Ragan, of Los Angeles, Cal. Deceased will be well remembered here as “Frank”, and by his ever cheery and happy disposition. He was a son of R. S. ami Sallie Burton Ragan, and spent the earlier years of his life in this city. He lost an arm in an accident, but this did not deter him in his ambition and he made a successful business man. His son attends schnl in the Howe MilitaryAcademy.
hotel wrecked by bomb
MONTPELIER, Ind., Jan. 9—The front and lobby of the Columbia Hotel was wrecked and several nearby buildings were damaged by the explosion of a bomb at 1:30 o’clock this morning, thought to have been planted in the hotel lobby. The hotel for the last several weeks has been the headquarters for strike breakers brought there by the National Steel Casting Company and the Montpelier manufacturing company following the strike in the two plants and authorities who began a rigid investigation immodately foL lowing the explosion in which none was injured, predict several arrests before night. The explosion came at an hour when the hotel guests had retired and the night clerk was dozing in the rear of the building, a fact which probably saved his life.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9—“I am greatly encouraged by the start we’ve made,” General Smedley D. Butler, Philadelphia’s new dictator of public safety, told the United Press today, after surveying reports from police f districts of the results of the first day and night of his sensational drive to clean up the city. Nor was the general’s information confined to reports, for early today he was speeding through murky streets of Philadelphia’s tenderloin, peering into shattered houses of ill repute, barred against his coming and taking personal supervision of the night’s assault of law and order against the city’s crime. With the coming of day, as the citystirred and rumbled to *wakefulness, first fruits of the gaunt, hawk-nosed general’s great experiment—a cleanup removed from politics and reformers and put in the hands of police themselves with a free rein, were apparent. Philadelphia’s tenderloin, as those shady sections lying within the Sixth and Flighth precincts are defined, was like a deserted village.
