"I am now busy investigating Some phases of the problem and will want the co-operation, of a city solicitor when one is appointed." With the Frankford elevated and the exchange ticket abolition questions thrown into the lap of tho Moore ad- inlqtration, which assumes power wext January, Dr. "William Draper Lewis today made public his objections to- the Kapld Transit Co.'s ordinances Which were so suddenly withdrawn. Doctor Lewis's analysis of the com pany's plans, requested by Joseph P. uaffney, chairman ot uounens nnauce fconimittcc, was to have been presented at a third public hearing on the ordi nances in City Hall this afternoon. r 'In tho face of hostile firo from the city transit department and before re plying to ninety-nine questions sub mitted by Select Councilman Trainer, of the Third ward, the company sud denly nt-ked for the withdrawal of the two ordinances concerned with the Frankford elevated and tho elimination of exchange tickets. The request for withdrawal was made trt Mr. (iaffnev. who is ill at his home, ,21212 South Broad- street. The finance chairman immediately cancelled the (MiDIIr hearing scheduled lor wis niter !?. . - . At finJlnnv and Liewls uonicr 'Fol'owing a conference this morning ibetwecn Doctor Lewis and Mr. Gaffney, ,tu former, at the finance .chairman's fwiggestion, made public his objections iM the company's withdrawn plans. Ihe objections advanced by TJootor Lewis were as strong as tnose raiseu by Transit Director Twining, but ho believes if certain amendments are agreed upon, the ordinances should be passed. While insisting that a fixed rental paid by the transit company for the use af the Frankford "L" is necessary, the rental estimate made by Doctor Lewis was lower than that of Director Twining. Doctor Lewis suggested a fixed nn Hu&l rental of $335,000 for the first two years. After that period, he stated, the amount of rent should bo fixed by arbitration on the principle that the amount paid should depend on the operating surplus. Director Twining's counter-proposal for the operation of tlfe Frankford ele vated called for an annual rental of $000,000 under a lease runniug until 1057. Company Proposed $1 Rntal In contrast with both the Twining and the Lewis proposals was tho com pany's own suggestion calling for nn annual nominal payment of ?1 for the Frankford high line. The company propped that after, July 1, 1020 it pay over to tho city the entire earnings of lis svstem and. of the Frankford "L" after tho company had set aside $1,- I D00.000 for dividends on its $30,000,000 icnDitalization. After the company's i tocKboldors had been cared for, under the company pl,an, tho remaining surplus would do cm ployed in meeting the city's interest nnd sinking fund payments on its Rll, 000,000 investment in the Frankford line. Furthermore, after those interest and sinking fund payments nnd been met, the company proposed mat any addi tional surnlus would be shared equally between itho company and the city. Doctor Lewis, in his renort. did not regard ns feasible Director Twining's alternative of municipal operation of thfi cltv's hiuh-sneed lines. He said ho regarded as impracticable citv-built subway in the ccntrnl dis trict to connect with tho Frankford elevated. He regarded Joint operntion of the Frankford "L" with the Market street subway as the only practical plan. .Doctor Lewis recalled the defeat in 'the last Legislature of tho Salus bill, which was designed, he paid, to give the public service commission power to compel tho company to allow phjMral connection with its system if public necessity demanded such phybical con nection. Insists Upon City Supervision Insisting that anv lease for the operothyi of tho Frankford "L" should provide" for city supervision over the firrh;?) Dpcjor Lewis declared -that ny contract 'agreed on for the lino's operation would establish a precedent for contracts fqr the city's other pro ytid hJtrk-spced lines. A nxeu rental siiouiii do insisted on for the. Frankford "L," ho continued, because the rental would affect the city's borrowing capacity. 4 on0 objection to the $1 lentnl plan advanced by the company, Doctor Lewis said he believed such n rental would invalidate tho entire -contract.

They were thankful nnd ncccptcd the invitation. Inside they held up three customers and took suits of civilian clothlnjr. When they walked from the store with their loot, valued at .$2W. they ncre surprised when n crowd gave chase. And their arrest that followed a revolver battle was even a greater shock to them. They hadn't read about the arrest of thUwcs operating in this Held Without ltail Today, after 'they calmly confirmed this story before Magistrate Grclis, they were held without bail for court. One I of them, Allen L. Bridges, nineteen Tyears old, is said to be the son of the day warden at the Birmingham, Ala., Jail, nnd grandson of tho night warden. Ill companion, Michael F.

When he insisted Mullin took n service revolver from his pocket, it is said, and turned on threo customers. One of them was not named. The others are Samuel floff, 004 Ilidge avenue, and Ilymnn Barken, 020 South Sixth street. Mullin, it wns testified, issued a gruff order for tho threo customers nnd tho clerk to stand at attention in singlo file.

Nov. 21. Beer of 2. alcoholic content wns deolnred to be non-intoxicntlng in n decision hnnded down today by Judge John O. Pollock, of tho United States District Court, in which he cranted n temnornrv iniunc- tlon restraining United Stntes District Attorney Hcnsiev and Internal Ucvcnuc Collector Moore from enforcing the wnr timc prohibition act against St. Louis brewers. Judge Pollock enjoins Collector Moore from "refusing to issue revenue stamps in respect to beer or malt liquor containing one-half of 1 per cent or more of alcohol, provided the taxes are tendered nnd paid. The collector is niso enjoined from refusing to 11 cense the plaintiffs as brewers, even though the beer manufactured contains more than one-half of 1 per cent al cohol, or from revoking such license because of violations of the provisions of the law. District Attorney nensley is re strained from arresting or prosecuting the plaintiffs or their agents or cus tomers for their failure to-nifix revenue stamps, provided the failure is due to the collector's refusal to issue the stamps. Tho defendants arc likewise enjoined from arresting or prosecuting the plain tiffs or tlielr employes, ngents or cus tomers, nnd from seizing or attempting to bcIzc or in nny way interfering with the .property, business or affairs of the plaintiffs or their customers on ac count of nllegedVlolation of the act. Judge Pollock'S' decision was in suits brought by two brewing associations nnd five independent St. Louis brew nrips (n rcstrnin criforcement of the wnrtime prohibition net. These suits were consolidated by agreement. The Judge asked if the state of Mis souri had ever questioned in court the right of Congress to pass the wartime prohibition law. When told that no such notion had been taken he said t ''It is time for the, states to wnko.up or Congress may usurp all their privi leges." Washington, ov.21. (By A.- P0 Arguments nn the constitutionality of the war-time prohibition and tho Vol stead enforcement acts were concluded today in the Supreme Court. There was no indication when a decision would be rendered, but because of the impor tance of the question, court officials said the cases might be decided after recess, December 8. In resuming his argument today be fore the court, Kllhu Hoot, appearing for Jacob Kuppert. Xcw York brewer, again attacked both acts as a viola tion of the federal constitution and a usurpation of power by Congress. Arguing that Congress lind no au thority to "go out into the country after the wnr is over, -and where wl dlers have been merged into the civil life nnd override the lnws of the states, Mr. Boot asked: "Where arc jou to draw the line if ou are to btep over the line of abso lute necessity into peace? If it is to bo within the competency of Cougress to regulate the distilcts because they aro permeated bv fedcinl officials, then there is no limit to the authority of Congress." ,,.. "The fact remains," Assistant At torney Gcncrnl Krierson said, follow ing Mr. Boot, "that we are legally in a state of war and the solemn duty rests on Congress to keep the country prepared to meet nny complication that may nriso before the conclusion of asked Chief Jubtice White nave we any nwi" wwm w "Yes." "By what authority?" nsked the Chief Justice. "Because the war has not yet been n,lp,l." siild Mr. Frierson. Itcplving to nn inquiry by Justice Day.

' " V Mrs. Loncworth has been a more familiar figure in the Senate chamber for the last eight weeks than. Rome ot tho senators themselves. She came earlier, stayed longer and did more .lis tening than most of the senators. Attired in a plain black dress, 're lieved by a single string, of pearls abont her neck, and wearing a large brimmed; black velvet hat and black' fur, Mr. Longnorth In the Senate chamber was the same striking figure who,- by her vigor and originality, made people hold their breaths In the Iloosevelts' White House days.

The two always occupied seats on the first row of the section reserved for the families ot senators. '' J But what Mrs. Longworth's opinion of the treaty Is the public doesn't know that is to say, It doesn't know offi cially. Perhaps those who sat nearby In the gallery got sotn? idea front .the remarks she exchanged with her friends'; but she doesn't talk for publication. . , "I'm sorry," said Mrs. Longworth in a very deep vMce when she was asked for her opinlon-nnd she has a pleasant wav of making it sound as though nhe is really sorry, "but I never glvo-lntfr-views. U'h too bad, but it's a rule J made years ago and I've never broken it. But if I ever should I should be only too delighted." It wns very diplomatic and very much like a statement made by Mr. Long worth in 10M when urged to deny or affirm his engagement to the president's daughter. "Soy to the press," said the congressman, "that if it is necessary that I be quoted at all I desire toibe quoted as saying that 1 have nothing to say." Mrs. Longworth wouldn't evfm ex plain how she is able to keep a rule for years at a time, but perhaps- that is because the .rule is of her own making, And (die broke all precedents for en durance in attendance at senatbrjal-de-. bate. . . . " "I don't see how she stood it," said one of the mv whose business kept him outside the chamber a huge parf of the day, "She can certainly listen to more of that talk than I can. How long? Why, she begari coming when the real discussion of the-treaty "and the league started arid she stayed all day." H" Mrs. Lanrworth Is easily recognised.

Bituminous coal mine 'operators served what was virtually an ultimatum on the coal miners' representatives here today, tell ing them that the offer jesterday of 15 cents a ton and 20 per cent day wage increases was the utmost that could be given. The miners went into a conference immediately to consider the offer. After the miners' conference broke up Acting President John L. Lewis, of the mine workers' organization, who presided, announced that no, conclusion had been reached, and that the situation stood as it had been. Miners, he ex plained, would go ij 'o the joint session with the operators &ln this afternoon without having a definite response to ine operators proposals. Earlier in the day Lewis had reiter ated that the nncrntnrR' nffor rnu In. adequate and unacceptable, but had in dicated that it would be given serious consideration by the miners if it could bo enlarged to rover the details of working conditions nnd allowances for dead work for the miners. The opera tors, however, left the proposal in its original form. Lewis spent a part of the morning closeted with Secretary of Labor Wilson. Garfield May Step In As nny contract nirrrcd to hr fh operators and miners must receive the approval of Fuel Administrator Garfield some ooservers hcllrvcil he wouirt step In before the negotiations between the miners and operators reached an im passe. There were reports that Secretary W ilson had proposed a wage advance of 30 per cent. The view of i-oine oper ators was that Doctor Garfield and Mr. Wllfc'm must reach an agreement on the Amount' of tthe advance before thcra could be further progress in the ne gotiations. Meanwhile renorfs received hew tn. dicatcd that the scarcity of. conl was be- comlnfincrensingly ncute. While tne enforcement of the priority order of the fuel administration was placed In tha hands of regional coal committees, com posed of railway directors and, repre sentatives of Doctor Garfield, word had been S'nt out from Washington to clamp on restrictions as tightly as local conditions would permit. Refuses Harding's Request Fuel Administrator Garfield has sent thn follow Ing telegram 'to Governor Harding, of Iowa, refusing to confer on him the power to fix coal prices: Your messages of November 10 nnd 20 received. I appreciate the gravity of the Iowa situation. Bail road administration advised that nil Iowa requests have been handled In accordance with preference lii-t nnd records Inst night showed"no domes tic or public utility needs unfilled, though demands demed nonessential have been re fused. , I Ruggest close co-operation with regional coal committees nnd imme diate reference to them for all fuel emergencies. Every effort is being made to protect the situation by preferential movement of coal from eastern points. Federal Control Essential It is impossible to comply with your suggestion that power to fir conl prices be conferred upon you. If this were done, similar requests from executives of other conl-pro-duciug stntes could not consistently be refused nnd federal control, which is essential in the nationst'emergency, would be lost. ' This control exercised under net of Congress necessarily excludes in dependent state control of same sub ject matter, Please note that gov eminent price restrictions will b npplicablc to sales of coal produced in Iowa whoevor is in control of mines. I nra repeating this telegram to governors of all coal-producing states. Cox Urges Seizure " Governors dlsacrec In the proposal of Governor Harding, of Iqwa, that the exccutUes of conl-producing states unite to seize the mines. Governor Cox, of Ohio, telegraphed to Governor Hard ing that if the federal government does not Intervene and opernte the mines in ense of failure of tho present negotia tions, states will have to take charge of the pits. Governor Goodrich, of Indiana, op poses seizure of the mlnex, fearing It would complicate the pending negotia tions. Governor Cornwcll. of West Irglnia, declnres that the Hnrding pro posal would "probnbly be welcomed by radical leaders who planned the steel nnd coal strikes nnd expected a general strike to put them across."
