MR.. TRUESDELL HEARD.
Tbc Syndicate President Vigorously
OpDoscs the Berry BEL.

Hearings on the Berry bill. providing for
three-cent fare. all night car service and
vestibuled cars, were continued yesterday
before the House Di trict Committee.
George Truesdel. President OF the Wash
ington Traction and Electric Com
pany. appeared before the committee
and made an argument against the
Berry bill would result in placing
of a receiver. 1t would be. he said, a vir-
tual confiscation Of the properties. Mr..
Truesdell said the District of Columbia
has today the most modern. best equipped.
and best constructed street car system,
and the cheapest, best, and most convent
ent car service in the world. The present
rate ~ fare. Mr.. Truesdell said, was as
low as in any other city Of the United
States. Eleven roads were controlled by
the syndicate he represented. and nine of
the roads we're not earning operating eX-
penses. Two Of the roads. however, the
Metropolitan and the Columbia. paid hand
somely.
MIR. Norton brought out the admission
from Mr. Truesdell that the syndicate paid
S2i0 for $50 shares, when they took it. The
stock at the last quotation, Mr.. Truesdell
said. was about $50.
When asked by Mr.. Norton II i. was not
a fact that several days ago $3.50 per share
was demanded for the stock, Mr.. Truesdell
answered that he had heard something
about 1t.
Commenting on the proposition TO vesti-
bule the cars. MIR Truesdell said the com
pany he represented was not opposed to
the proposition ia yestibule cars. but In his
opinion yestibuled cars would increase the
number of accidents. He had brought the
first vestibule cars TO Washington. They
we're used on the lexington line Cor
awhile, but the motormen did not Ike
them, and they were abandoned.
Nr. I uesdell wanted the committee TO
investigate the subject. and bring before
them anybody who could give testimony
from practical experience on the question
OF vestibuled cars. lie had no objection.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Truesdell's
argument the committee went into execu
tive session TO consider some District bills
