J Baltimore. Md., July 9.?In a decision
handed down today by th?
j^ublic Service Commission In the
ase of the Washington, Baltimore
ad Annapolis Railway Company,
'trhifch petitioned (or a uniform increase
of rates to and from all
Stations on Its- line between Baltimore.

the commission ratified the new
ehedule as between points from
Baltimore and Annapolis, but di^ cted
there be no increase In the
li-trip monthly commutation tick
ts between the District Line and
t* -Iff""- and between Camp Meade
tfuactlon and Annapolis. These
remain unchanged.
UtaisBtea Dlserlalssrtw.
There has been a difference of
aa between the Baltimore and
Washington ends, and this is now
brought down to $1. To grant
.the Increase asked from Annapolis 1
to the District Line the commission j
thought would be too much of a
discrimination Hence by granttog
the increase as between Baltlbmc*
and Annapolis and refusing
I* advance prices from Annapolis
to Washington, the discrimination
-la minimized.
, Straight fares will be at the rate
mt I cents a mile, so that one fare
from Baltimore to the District Line
fsrttt "be advanced from 85 cents to
jl.&l. and the round trip from $1.50
to 91.90. The company will add to
this the street car fare from the
District Line into the city proper,
which on a round trip ticket is
1< cents.

It is understood, however, that
the fare will be placed at $1 flat,
plus the war tax.
This order becomes effective July

lERE'S THAT FAMOUS CARTOON
HARDING WROTE ABOUT TO COX
Ka?a toJd* Cahuakas CMm
Here's a telegram: "Gov. James M. Cox: I recall a much- j
remarked cartoon which portrayed you and me as newsboys contending
for the White House delivery. It seems to have been
prophetic. As an Ohioan and a fellow-publisher, 1 congratulate ;
you on your notable victory. Warren G. Harding."
Last March a newspaper printed the above cartoon picturing
Warren Harding and James Cox as rival newsy candidates for
the Presidency. That was long before they were generally regarded
as probable winners of Republican and Democratic nominations.
Today, when these two newspaper men are the chosen
standard-bearers of their parties the cartoon is even more timely.
Harding, Republican, started his career as editor of the
Marion (Ohio) Star, and continues to this day as its publisher
and owner.
Cox, Democrat, began as a reporter for a Cincinnati paper,
and later became editor and publisher of the Dayton (Ohio) News.
Both were?and are?corking good newspaper editors. Both
had boyhood training in press rooms, and both went from the
editorial desk into politics and public office. One of the two will
be the next President of the United States?the first editor to be
the nation's Chief Executive.

that he and several other party
leaders would come to Dayton the
19th. "as there are various matters
I would like to have opportunity to

Gov. Cox answered Mr. Cummlngs
tils afternoon, announcing his satisraction
wi#h the arrangement.
Mixed into the mass of congratulatory

from former Ohio penitentiary convicts.

Messages to Be Answered.
Telegrams which Invite the Democratic
candidate to go on record on
governmental policy matters will
not be answered until response has
been sent to every congratulatory j
message. In fact, it is likely these
embarrassing communications will
not be taken into account until the
Democratic National Committee has
conferred with the candidate and
yielded its advice. 0
The Hobson telegram of yesterday,
inviting a definite statement on
prohibition enforcement measures,
must wait indefinitely for its answer.
i
Those whf> know Gov. Cox best, j
believe that he will seek to get
through the campaign without making
prohibition enforcement an issue.
The average voter surmises that
Cox is a candidate with leanings toward
the "wets," it is hinted. But
Cox has already gone on record in
favor of enforcement of all laws and
all Constitutional propositions. He
can sympathise with the "wets" if
elected and enforce dry laws, his in- j
timates point out. ;'
And so. runs the conclusion, by 1
evading the issue, he ought to win '
mora votes than he loses. '

Legislative Group Will Give
Advice on New
J Bills.
A chuur setting forth the scop*
f activities of th? law and leglslatlon
group of th? City Club were
adopted at a meeting last night at
the clubhouse.
The group will obtain a copy of
very bill Introduced lfi Congress
relating to the District and will
consider all proposed legislation
and will co-operate from time to
time through Its committees with
similar committees from the Chamber
of .Commerce, the Board of
Trade and citizens' associations.
The group will also be prepared
at *11 times to discuss questions of
law that may affect the District.
Meetings will be suspended for
the summer season but will be resumed
early In September.
"I am convinced that the members
of Congress want to do what is
right for the people of the District,"
said Alexander Wolf, chairman of
the group, "but usually they are
kept at sea as to what the people
really want. Various organizations,
frequently prompted by selfish motives,
take conflicting sides on various
questions. There is a lack of
unity, of concerted effort.
"This group should strive to
bring about a unity of expression
on matters of legislation, so that
ongress will not be confused as to
the wants of the people."

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman

Senator Harding said today that
his speech would be short for such
utterances. He will discuss generally
the many subjects to be
handled, leaving to later sueeches
the development of his views and
thoughts on many topics. It is mtimated
that the sueech of acceptance
may not exceed in length

A last effort was made by en. Du

Senator prevailed in his desire to
make the speech in the Garfield
