COLUMBUS CAR
LINE BLOCKED
Supreme Court of United
States Sustains Injunction
to Prevent Company
Boosting Charge.
Washington, April 14. Federal
court decrees dismissing injunction
" proceedings brought trrestrain city
olhcials of Columbus, O., from pre
venting the Columbus Street Rail
way company from increasing its
lares, owing to increased operating
expenses due principally to an award
of the war labor board, were sus
tained today by the supreme court
m disposing of appeals brought by
the company and its stockholders.
In Point in Omaha.
"This decision of the supreme
court of the United States evidently
sustains the city of Columbus in re
sisting the attempt of the street rail
way company io increase its fares,"
said Corporation Counsel W. C.
f Lambert.
"I am sending for an abstract of
the case, as it is of interest m view
14 of the case pending here," he added
'.'In the Columbus case, the rtreet
railway company put its increased
, rr.te into effect and then the city
came in with its opposition. I note
that the company there based its
increased rates largely on an award
made by the" War Labor board,
"which the Omaha company did.
"In our case the street railway
company filed its application before
the State Railway commission and
the city entered its objection. Thjs
case has gone to the supreme court
of Kebraska and will be called up
for hearing next Month.
"i regard the .action of the su
. preme court of the United States,
in the Columbus case as significant
"in establishing a precedent."
s Attorney John L. Webster of the
street railway company stated that
he would have to know more about
the Columbus case before he could
discuss it intelligently.

Charge of Assault
Lawrence. Mass., April 14. Sam-
uel Bramhal!, chairman of the com
mittee in charge of the textile strike

cer. Members of the State Board

for 48 hours' wcrk.
Mrs. Glendower Evans of Brook
line, a stockholder in the Arlington
mills, who had previously shown her

gled with the pickets, wearing the
strike .card on her sleeve. A police
man in plain clothes kept close be

hal! questioned his right to follow
her.
British Command lndirect
' Cause for Mutiny of Yanks
Soldier, Back from Russia, Says American Officer
Struck Down Britisher U. S. Supplies With
held by English and Substituted by Insufficient
British Provisions.
(By rnlveraal 8rrlc.)
Detroit, April 14. News of the
near mutiny rj American troops un
der British command in" Russia
struck the responsive heart chords
of western Michigan mothers here,
scores of whom have not v heard
from their sons, fighting in that far
off land, for many months.
Although patriotic to the fullest
extent the parents of boys in serv
ice in Russia seemed to have ex
pected just such an occurrence. One
boy in writing home told his
mother that he didn't know with
whom or for what he was fighting,
but that he was making forced
marches through heavy snow al
most daily.
Urged Son's Release.
Most western Michigan parents
of men in Russia have made strenu
ous efforts to secure the releases of
their sons from the service owing
to the conditions set forth by the
men in letters since their arrival
there.
George Albers of Muskegon, in
writing to his wife of but a few
months said:
"Well, I am a prisoner here with
the bolsheviki. but am being treated
as well as could be expected under
the conditions. I never have enough
to eat, but always get my share
when it is passed around. I am
sorry for the boys who are ' doing
the fighting in this Godforsaken
hole."
Glenn L. Shannon of Grand Rap
ids, returned tighter from Russia, in
valided home recently, said:
"The muntiny of members of the
3.39th infantry has been brewing
since the moment the first British
officer gave the first command to an
American soldier after the boys
trom Michigan arrived in the Arctic
wilderness hst September. Occa
sions have been numerous where
American soldiers have gone so far
as to refuse openly to obey or salute
British officers, and upon one occa
sion I recall I know of an American
officer striking to the ground a Brit
ish officer of highest rank.
"What else may be expected when
American soldiers are bullied by
men of another nationality when
they are forced to live for weeks in
the swamps under conditions worse
than the wild beasts of the forest ex
perience, starved, ragged and crush
ed, and with all that expecting to be
murdered in cold blood any minute
of the day or night?
"Why are they under British com
mand, fed on British supplies of in
sufficient quantities when they have
a better commanding officer of their
own on the ground and have better
supplies, real American stuff, but
withheld by the British?
"They are a game bunch of fight
ers, the 339th, and from what I know
of them and what I saw of them as
a whole they are not afraid to go
through hell itself, but not for a
British commander."
Socialist Leader
Begins Sentence as
Clerk in Hospital
Wheeling, W. Va., April 14.
Eugene V. Debs, socialist leader,
sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment
a: the Moundsville penitentiary,
near here, for violation of the es-
oionaee act, began his term today
as a clerk in the prison hospital.
Warden Terrell said he had in
tended to assign Debs to the li
brary, but decided he would be the
object of too much curiosity there
and gave him the clerkship, the
lightest work in the institution, be
cause of his age.
Before he began work this morn
ing, the warden told Debs he would
be well treated as long as he com
plied with the prison regulations
and the only special requirement in
his case was that he refrain from
preaching any of his doctrines,
which Debs agreed to do.' When
Debs was measured for a prison
suit it was found the regulation
tiousers were too short and a spe
cial pair will have to be made.
No Revolution in Serbia.
London, April 14. Serbian offi
cials in London declared today there
was no truth in the report that a
revolution had broken out in Serbia.
The latest official dispatches from
Serbia, report no unusual happenings
there.
German 'P. W.' Wears
Service Chevron For
Work Building Roads
With the American Army in
France, April 14. (Correspondence
Associated Press.) Six months of
constructing roads, building bar
racks and unloading and reloading
the vast tonnage of supplies for the
American army gave several prison
ers of war in the Brest area the idea
that they were eligible to wear a
gold service chevron.
They blossomed forth one day
with a bright gold chevron glitter
ing on the lower part of the left
sleeve. It was wholly out of har
mony with their general appearance
and an "M. P " could not understand
this hybrid embellishment, coupled
with the large letters, "P. W.," sig
nifying "prisoners of war," on their
backs. He inquired the purpose of
this dazzle on the left sleeve. A
boche explained his affiliation in the
American army, but that did not
satisfy the "M. P." Off came the
chevrons with one strong rip. '

house tomorrow. s
It was declared likely four re
ports would be made to the house
two maionty and two minority, im
peachment of Governor Harding and
exoneration of Attorney General
H. M. Havner would be the major
ity recommendations, while minor
ity reports, it was indicated unof
ficially, would recommend censure
for both officials.
