ZIONISTS URGING

#_
PARIS, Jan. 17.?Zionist leaders
from England. PoLand. Syria and Rus
sia are here to press their claims be
fore the peace conference for land
recognition. They want Palestine re
stored and converted into a Jewish
republic.
Years ago Palestine had a popula
j tion of nearly 8,000,000. Today the
| population is less than 600,000. Zion
| ist leaders believe that within a gen
| er&tion they can increase the popula
| tion to 5,000,000.
Climatically, botanically and agri
culturally, Palestine is like Califor
I uia. Oranges, grapes, almonds and
j agricultural products can be grown
I there in abundance, in a few years
i leaders in the movement believe they
tcan do much to solve the problem of
I feeding thousands of Jews now on the
: point of starvation in several of the
| European countries.
Their plan is tc set aside an area
, about equal to that of the State of
{Maryland; Co have their own govern
j ment; to establish agricultural schools
i and colleges. Justice Brandeis and
Felix Frankfurter are said to be
| leading American backers of the new
movement.

GRANT HEARING ON!
ROOKVILLE FARES
After six refusals of the Maryland
public service commission to consider |
the protests of the patrons of the j
Rockville line against arbitrary fare J
laises. the commission today gave |
notice of a hearing in the Munsey i
building. Baltimore, on January 27. j
The announcement comcs ks a stir- ,
? prise to thousands of Washington
j workers who live between George- '
town and Rockvjlle, and is the after- j
1 matii of the editorial exposure in Th<" i
I Times of the changes in rates and |
commutation tickets effected on tin!
j Rockville line. The Times called at- I
| tention to the facts and the law in '
j the matter and also to the many de- I
| cisions of the public service commi.?-!
I sion of Maryland which benefited the
j railroad, and suggested that the *in
j tire matter be laid before the gov
i ernor of Maryland unless the public
j service commission acted properly.
Tbmtro Action.
j Taking the hint of The Times,
I patrons of the road threatened to go
j to the governor of Maryland; and
j then the Maryland commission
| granted the hearing.
The new rates, originally announced
by the railway company last October,
have been attacked by patrons on the
ground that their enforcement was a
'violation of an'act of the Maryland
Legislature adopted in 191-. The act
: is an amendment of an act passed in
! 1910, and has never been questioned
i In court or amended or repealed by ?
the legislature. It provides for es- i
tablishment of fare zones, fixed ratt-s j
: of fares, commutation rates, etc., the |
' Washington and Kockville line being <
j the only one in the State operating
; under such an act of the legislature.
Hrnrlng Tlefuxed.
When the new rates were filed with
! the Public Service Commission, pa
j trons of the line asked at once for a j
j hearing. This, however, was refused. \
i the commission, through its .secretary.!
lien T. Kendall, standing on an opiji- ]
I ion by W. Cabell Bruce, its chief j
counsel, that the act of 1912. as well j
as the original act of 1910, was un- j
constitutional.
Despairing of inducing the commis
sion to take action, patrons of the
| line had decided to lay the facts of'
I the cas*; before Governor Harrington.
Announcement by the commission that ;
! it had reconsidered the matter and
I would hold hearings probably will de- !
v appeal to the governor.
j Sta'e Senator Metzerotr. of Prince!
'leorgf's county, has received a letter
j from the Maryland Public Service
j Commission announcing that it will
] lake up the complaints of the public
! as- to ?he service on the City and Sub-!
! urban line, ;unning between here
? and l/iurcl. At Senator Metzerott's!
request the commission has assigned;

Dr. Staples says he has always been

SAYS SECRECY WILL'
MEAN ANOTHER WAR
k
Secrecy ? In tfte peace conference
means another world war. Senator
I^ewls, Illinois. Democratic whip of
the Senate, declared today to the Sen
ate. Lewis echoed criticism of th*
reported "bottling up" of the peaco
conference voiced by Senator Borah,
Idaho, who declared, with Lewis, that
continuation of sv secret diplomacy
means that the dream of world peace
will- not come true.
Secret diplomacy In any form was]
Assailed before the Senate by Senatori
Borah of Idaho. He declared the
Senate " should let the American
pence delegates know th?t the great
majority of the American people are \
dead against secret sessions of the
peace conference or any bottling up
of the news from Versailles."
