Louis Witkowski, mayor that was OF

nearly through with the wordy war be-
tween him and johnnie" Garrett, one-

can Red Cross Society, and who con-
trolls $4,000 worth of property within
the corporate confines Of the town.
The trouble in Glen Echo may have
had an interest to the public for some
Of the spectacular developments" said
now. The public is not interested in
my personal opinion of John A. Gar
ret or his of me. There is just one
thing that the people OF Glen Echo
and Of Washington are interested in
that is, why the town council dfd not
adopt the plan put forward by the
War Department, or some other plan.
by which water fit to cook with, battle
in, and drink, might be obtained for
the town.
There is no water in Glen Echo yet
that is fit to drink. The council has
done nothing. Why not? would sug-
gest through the press that DR.. Hubbell
be named mayor, because his extensive
property interests give him a right to
protection: because he is the kind OF
solid citizen who would see to the water
question and to the question Of schools.

DISTRICT ELECTRIC
RAIL BOARD UNABLE
TO ENFORCE LAW

, ton In the Transfer
Dispute.
SHOWS SYMPATHY
FOR CAR PATRONS
Takoma Park Mayors Complaint
Is Referred Back To Com
3 merce Body.

While the District Electric Railway
Commission has been cognizant OF thf
existence Of the old universal transfer
law of 1894, it, like the District Cim-
missioners, has discovered no way IN
which 1t could bring about enforce
ment.
The Commission now has before II
the complaint o. W. G. Plat, Of Ia
koma Park. Nd, made to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission against
the refusal of the Capital Traction Com
pany to Join with the Baltimore and
Washington Transit Company, in OBJ
serving a five cent fare over the lines
of the two companies between Takoma
and the center of Washington.
The commission probably will refer
the complaint back to the Interstate
Commerce Commission with the state
ment that it lacks jurisdiction, and that,
inasmuch as the matter is claimed to be
in reference to an interstate railway
rate, the proper authority to consider 1t
is the Interstate Commission itself.
The commission is expected to take
this action at tomorrow afternoon S
meeting. The complaint of Mayor Platt
was referred without consideration by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
but what disposition Will be made of
IL when the report Of the District CON-
mission is received cannot be forecast
ed with any accuracy at this time.
Shows Sympathy.
While the District commission has no
authority over the street and interur-
ban railway companies so far as re-
curing exchange transfers is concerned.
that body has shown its sympathy with
public complaints about transfers by
forwarding TO Representing Wiley a
large number of complaints for his use
in framing legislation.
