years was supported by the South.
The speakers pointed out the necessity
for improvement, and the work done by
the South in having Washington Sc
lected as the capital. Some reference
was made to the park commission plan
for Improvement, which Glenn Brown has
been explaining to various citizens asso-
Citations.
The following members of the newly
formed association made short speeches:
Hilary Herbert, J. j. Hemphill, Marion
Butler, John w. Yerkes. Hannis Taylor.

of the Curtiss Exhibition Company, was
in Washington yesterday completing ar
rangements for the aviation meet which
will be held at Benning race track on

prizes have been offered for all of these
events

tive Wileys bill in its successful passage
through the House on April %. 1910
The measure slumbered peacefully in the
Senate Committee on the District Of Co
lumbia, and was heard of no more during
the Sixty-first Congress. There were M
hearings held by the Senate Committee
and apparently no attempt whatever was
made TO put the measure on the Senate
calendar
The recently appointed Board OF Dis.
trict Commissioners, as we'll as the old
body, is on record as favoring the in
stallation OF A universal transfer system
Commissioner Judson. on, March l. 1910
presented TO the District Committee OF
the House a statement to which Com
missioners Rudolph and Johnston had
subscribed.
The policy of compulsory universal
transfers." said Commissioner Judson. "is
favored not only for immediate public
convenience, but because It will remove
one thing that stands in the way of
consolidating the lines. Furthermore. 1t
IS not believed that the project will work
4 hardship on the companies"
Argued on Both Sides.
Hearings on the universal transfer
project. held by the District Committee
during March and April OF 1910. were par
railway men and citizens, besides the
Commissioners. Among them were s. S.

who entered a plea for more direct serv-
ice for workmen living in the suburbs:
II. J. Volker. who stated that for twenty
years he had been travelling a route
between his home and his working place
that consumed fifty minutes. when a

Washington; z. II. Thomas, corporation
counsel of the District of Columbia, and
George f. Hamilton. president of the Cap
ital Traction Company.
Position of Traction Companies.
The street railway representatives. as
a rule. pleaded the unconstitutionality OF
requiring a corporation to carry a pas
senger turned over by another company
either free of charge or for less than the
required by the statute.
They suggested that the universal trans
fer proposal bordered on the zone system
of Europe. with an effort TO keep the
fiat fare intact.
On the other hand, several members of
the committee. including Representatives
Rothermel, Moore. and Kahn,
mittee of the Sixty-second Congress, d.
rected questions to show that the street
companies had the whole city as
their clientele, and that their earnings
showed them comfortably able to install
an exchange transfer system.

GUILTY OF KEEPING
CLIENTS PROCEEDS
Attorney Patterson Convicted
on Embezzling Charge.

John W. Patterson, a weIl-known COL
ored attorney. was yesterday convicted
by jury in Justice Wright's court on
the charge of embezzling s54.3O which was
collected for a client. Justice Wright put
Patterson under $500 bond pending SEN
tence. and his attorneys. John E. Col
Inns and r. a. Hughes. gave notice they
would file an appeal.
The testimony showed that Cora Harris
and Burrell Harris. clients of Patterson,
became benefciaries of the estate of a
brother who died in 1903. They empow-
cred Patterson to collect sSo6O, the pro-
ceeds from life insurance policy, and
retain his usual fee of one-third. Pat
terson received the money October q
last. but never made settlement with his
clients.
Patterson testified he put the money in
a safe deposit box, and produced 800 in
court, which he said he had set aside for
his clients. At the conclusion of the
case the money was paid over to his
clients.
