Mr.. RUDOLPH BACK
District Commissioner Re-
turns From Trip Abroad.
WAS GONE FIVE WEEKS
Obtained Many Pointers From the
Laws Of Germany.
LIKES BERLIN TRAFFIC RULES

Hatpin Ordinance-Saw Birth

IKES BERLIN TRAFFIC RULES

Enthusiastic over his fve-week trip t.
Germany, where he visited Marburg, the
birthplace Of his parents, and studied
municipal conditions In several cities OF
the empire. Cuno H. Rudolph. president
Of the District board OF Commissioners,
returned 10 Washington today.
Hamburg's hatptn ordinance and Ber-
Inns traffic regulations were the munich
pal features observed that attracted the
Commissioner most. In Hamburg Mrs.
Rudolph and Miss Summers wore pro-
tectors on their hatpns In order to COM
ply with the law.
While 1t Is not likely Washington will
secure a similar regulation at any time
soon, the Commissioners already having
reported unfayorably on Representative
Coudrey's hat pin bill. Mr.. Rudolph today
said that ha Is much more impressed with
the need of legislation along this line
than he has been previously.
Likes Traffic Rules.
The methods Of regulating traffic at
street intersections in Berlin are the best
ne has seen in any city. Commissioners
Rudolph said. The crossing policemen
hold up traffic going east and west until
the congestion OF the north and south
bound traffic has been relieved. and vice
versa
'.This plan produced but little confu-
sion" said the Commissioner, "and, also.
II causes very little delay. l don't thlnk
that any Of the conveyances In which we
saw Berlin were delayed at the stree'
crossings more than a minute, or TWO
minutes at the most"
The scheme followed In Berlin OF num-
bering public vehicles is commended by
Commissioner Rudolph.
Numbers Indicate Routes.
Numbers indicate certain routes" he
said. land persons who ask policemen
how to reach any part Of the city are
told to take a car that has certain num-
Der. This simplifies the whole procedure
/ believe that such an arrangement would
work to advantage in Washington"
Accompanied by Mrs. Rudolph and his
niece, Miss Alma NJ Summers Of Balti-
more, the Commissioner sailed on the
Graf Waldersee for Hamburg July 8.
on the Kronprinzessin Cecile. having
made the trip over from Bremen In seven
days.
Hamburg. Berlin. Leipzig. Munich. Dres-
den. Bremen, Marburg and other cities
were visited. A trip down the Rhine
formed q part Of the itinerary.
Saw Mothers Birthplace.
At Marburg Mr.. Rudolph saw the house
in which his mother was born. The struc-
ture Is more than 200 years old. and still
in good condition. The University Of
MarburE. where Mr.. Rudolph's grand
father, Gotlobb Laeger. formerly was IL
brarian. was another Interesting place
that WAS vfaifad This uSfitnfiOn dates
from the twelfth century.
II was disappointed to find," said the
Commissioner. "that the university build
ings recently have been rebuilt. How
ever. the old lines Of architecture were
preserved. while the walks through the
campus practically are the same as they
were at the time the institution was
founded. The former buildings had been
standing TOO years, and 1t was found nec-
essary to replace them"

Discrimination Detrimen-
tai to Their City.

A difference of from 300 to 657 per cent
between tho express and the freight rates
between New York. Philadelphia and
other eastern cities. and Memphis. Tenn.
Is made the basis Of q complaint filed
today with the interstate commerce COM
mission by the Memphis freight bureau.
on behalf Of shippers Of that city.
Companies Enumerated.
The complaint is directed against the
Adams. American. United States. South
ern. Wells-Fargo and Pacific Express
companies. It alleges that the rates on
currency. merchandise and commodities
by express from eastern cities TO Mem
phis are excessive. extortionate and un-
reasonably discriminatory. It IL pointed
out that while the express rate from New
York to Memphis is $4 q hundred pounds
on all merchandise. the freight rate on
flrst-class trafac between the two cities
is 300 per cent lower. and that the ex-
press rate on the average OF all COM
modities Is $40 per cent greater than the
average freight rate on the same COM
modities.
Rates to st. Louis.
Il IL averred further that st. Louis is
given an express rate OF s. a hundred.
which is 83 Ia per cent lower than that
given Memphis. thus discriminating
against Memphis shippers. II also il
charged that the express companies are
making excessive profits and exorbitant
returns on their investments, and 1t 10
declared they could reduce their rates
materially without Gripping the service
or impairing their capital.

NORTHWEST RESIDENTS
PLEAD FOR SUBSTAT|ON
Protest Against Removal of

"You have advanced only sentimental
reasons II you can bring forward one

It,"
So spoke First Assistant Postmaster

granted by the postal official this after
noon to a delegation Of the association's 8
members who called to protest against
the proposed change Of the branch post
office on Park road and II street north
west to a location yet to be decided upon
at 14th and u streets northwest.
DR.. Grandfield looked at Judge Bundy
for q moment. and the leader of the Col
umbia Heights citizens expressed himself
in one word-"Well'"
May Relocate Office.
1t was pointed out later that the Post
Office Department officials had not fully
decided to locate the proposed new ONCE
at 14th and u streets, but that experts
Of the department had declared that the
location in question will be the proper
distributing point for the heights section
when the new post Office is erected oppo-
site the Union station. Instead Of a small
office as now in Park road. 1t Is planned
to make the proposed branch office an Of
flee secondary only to the central sta
ton.

for some time, it was suggested that the
association members get together and

partment why a location about l4th and
Park road should be chosen instead OF

DR.. Wade Atkinson asked DR.. Grand
field number OF questions relative to
the subject. and also said that the
post Office at the present time on Park
road seemed to be a convenience to the
people Of the section which the Post
once Department should not take away
from them.
Only to Increase Facilities.
To this, however. the first assistant re-
piled that the department did not have
in mind the taking away Of any con-
venience Of the people Of the section. but
the increasing OF the postal facilities
Of the general section from U street
north. He said that with the distribut-
ing point at 14th and U streets the car
riers will get their mail quicker than
thew would at the location suggested by
Judge Bundy on 14th street in the neigh
borhood of Irving street or Park road.

riers out 14th street in automobiles, drop
ping them off at the streets they are 10

horse can make for the entire outfit. They
say in the army that mule Is worth

today that sixteen men can't begin to
make the same trouble that one horse
can furnish.
The troops encamped last night only
three miles beyond Rockville, reaching

of the delay was occasioned by horse
