two committees now take the place OF
the former Subcommittee on Education,

a subcommittee of it's own.

District. Before this committee will be
held the hearings on the bill providing
for universal transfers and half fares
for school children in the District. Rep

of the bill requiring the street car COM
panies to issue universal transfers, is
upon this subcommittee.
Oldfeld's Place.
Representative Oldfield Of Arkansas is
on the subcommittee that will, consider
water, light, and telephone problems,
and this is regarded as a wise selection,
inasmuch as Mr.. Oldfield has just in
troduced a bill providing for a physical
valuation and an investigation of the
local telephone company.
Representative Berger, the Socialist,
who was assigned to the minority, f.
nally found a place on the Subcommit-
tees on Steam and Street Railways and
Berger's recent Summing expedition in
the alleys of Washington, which he de-

probable that Mr.. Berger will prove a
