TURK-SWEDE BOUT At
ARMORY WEDNESDAY

Alex Christofferson came in yes
terday from Thompsons, Utah, where
he has been spending a few weeks
with his brother, and met a number
of local sports. He had a good work
out at the Turner gymnasium with
some local athletes and expressed
himself as feeling fine. On the 9TH
er hand. there was a feeling of awe
on the part of those who saw the
giant stripped for action and this
increased to wonder as he exhibited
his strength and cleverness on the
mat.
Christofferson is one of the finest
built men ever seen here. His mus
cles do not bulge out in cords and
ropes on his back and shoulders,
but repose in long, smooth masses
under his clear, pink skin. He is
not muscle bound in any particular,
but has the speed of unclaimed light
ming in every move. He was a good
natured giant as he grasped hands
with his training opponents on the
mat, and he was still smiling when
moment later he had his man on
his back. He showed his enormous
strength once when he lifted. with
one hand heavy fellow, and in the
manner of a weight litter, heaved
him over his head-and held him
there.
Arrangements were concluded yes

was cancelled and will be held on

RESULT OF CONFERENCE
ON MERGER IS UNKNOWN

What action the District Of Columbia
government or Department of Justice
may take separately or Jointly in an, ef-
fort to prevent a merger of local utili-
ties remained secret today with the
District Commissioners and representa-.
tives of the department who attended
a conference yesterday for the purpose OF
discussing the matter.
Outside of the statement that the situa-
ton remains practically unchanged, none
Of the local officials would throw any
light on the conclusions reached at the
conference. This is taken to indicate that
the District government. in accordance
with a resolution adopted recently by the
Commissioners, will proceed with the
plan to institute a proceeding in equity
to prevent the proposed merger until a
utilities commission has been established,
regardless of whether it receives the as
sdstance of the Department of Justice.
But the fact that the conference delib-
erations are being kept quiet has not
given rise to the belief that the United
States will refrain from taking hand in
the situation. In fact, the general belief
may be said to be that the Department
of Justice officials have reached no deci-
sion pending consideration by them of
the suggestions made at the conference.
Department Expected to Assist.

sist in the legal proceedings to be in

Commissioners, Corporation Counsel e.

crease it's capitalization from $4,000. .GOO
to S5o,OOOO 600 and authorize a total bond
issue of $1OO.OO0,OOO.
1t Is expected that, il the proposed
changes in the status of tie corporation
are effected, steps will be taken imrne-
diately to bring about a consolidation of
the concern with the Washington Virginia

trio lines between Washington, Mt. Ver-
