TO SENATE RESOl UTION
District Heads Explain Inability to
Enforce Law Until Utilities
Board Was Organized.

Information today is that the move
ment for universal transfers in the Dis
trict of Columbia, o. at least q reasonable
system of transfers between the electric
roads here, has the backing of the White
House and that the public utilities COM
mission understands the sympathy OF the
administration in this proposition This
addition of White House aid is likely, il
is said, to give the utilities commission
the support it might feel 1t would like in
such u great undertaking.
No official at the White House is will
ing to be quoted In connection with the
tt anSfer fight. but it is positively known
tiat men nigh up the will be glad
Wnen the utilities commission finally di-
rects the railroads to give transfers at
ce tain points in the city. The belief
strongly prevails at the White House too.
that the utilities commission VIII shortly
make such an order and let the whole
question go to the courts for judicial adj
judication.
President Wilson and Secretary Tum-
ulty are taking deeper interest in
District matters than is generally sup
posed, and at intervals confer with
Commissioner Newman about the status
of affairs at the District building. TIE
President has taken long automobile
rides into nearly every part of the Dis
trlct, and Secretary Tumulty is almost
as well posted as to things here. Their
general attitude here, as 1T was in New
Jersey. is that while public utilities
are not to be deprived OF the right to
prosper and pay fair returns upon
hone.,t investments, the legitimate de-
mands of the people must be given
every consideration and acceded to
when possible. This spirit will, 1t is

Winston Churchill Plan Is Ap-
p.auded by Representa-
tiveS of Both Parties.
BUILD NO BATTLESHlPS
FOR PERIOD OF ONE YEAR
Resolution Requesting Presidents
Cooperation Discussed by Leader
Mann and Speaker Clark.

Applause for the naval holiday plan
proposed by Winston Churchill, England >
nrst lord Of the admiralty. was given in
the House today when Representative
Henseley of Missouri introduced a reso-
luton requesting the President to enter
into negotiations for and to add his n
ifuence to securing a cessation of naval
construction by the great powers for one
year.
Republicans and democrats alike favor
ed the naval holiday scheme. 1t was non-
partisan to such an extent that Repre-
sentative Mann's speech in favor Of the
holiday was applauded by both sides.
However. Representative Mann as
House leader for the republicans insisted
that it would be a travesty Of statesman
ship if the House. with barely 100 men
present, would attempt to vote an ex-
preston Of opinion on so great u subject.
Favored by Speaker Clark.
Speaker Clark came down from his
chair and talked for ten minutes.
Il agree with MIR. Mann in one thing
that the House has not enough members
at present to attend to this thing. Lord
Churchill may have more influence in
naval affairs in England than the Speaker
does here
This scheme of armament is the great
est idiocy on earth, and we Americans
are great idiots to be engaged in it. 1
am glad that CnurcnIii made this propo-
sition. If three great nations came INTO
agreement-say Great Britain. America
and Germany-the thing would be set
tied
Speaker Clark said that IL the United
States should get into war With some
big nation and Florida or New York
should be captured, every one knows
they couldn't hold it.
Wants Question Settled.
when the House gets here I want to
see this whole subject taken up. It's
strange that when we had 100000 peo-
pie we weren't afraid of any one, and
now with 1OO.OOO.OD people a lot of folks
go round the country using. Germany as

Commissioners Issue Orders
to Enforce Amended
Act of 1887.
MUST NOW BE RESIDENTS
AND GIVE S. 900 BOND
Will Likely Also Adopt Police Reg
ulation Prohibiting "Puffers"
at Such Sales.

The Commissioners today put up strong
bars against fake auctioneers operating
In the District OF Columbia when they
issued Instructions for a strict enforce
ment of the amended act of January o6
1887, requiring auctioneers who engage
III business here to be residents of the
city, take out license of 800 and give
bond in the amount of 5000 each.
This action, taken on recommendation
of Assistant Corporation Counsel Wh. te-
ford, will be effective, 1t is believed, in
properly safeguarding the public against
unscrupulous dealers whose wares are
sold under the hammer. AS the new
license year begins tomorrow, the Dis
trict authorities may carry the provisions
OF the statute into immediate effect
Delay on Police Regulation.
Because it requires thirty days for a
police regulation to become effective, the

1t is a matter of congratulation all

Inediately reach those VINO wouiu engage
IN the Pc. nIclous practI.es that are COM
aimed of. Fake auctions are u deceit
OF the Srossest character and. of course,
the pubic Is the big sunerer. Retail mer-
chants suffer, too, in the odium that is
cast over business. The day or the liar
and the faisitier has past. Business here
in Washington is on a sound and fair
basis. and it Is certainly not lair that
any men, or set of men, should be
allowed to conduct q fake business such
as Is complained of.
Will Meet the Situation.
Il believe the plan as proposed by Mr..
Whiteford will meet the needs of the sit
uation as I have already pointed out.
The itinerate auction sale proprietor pays
only q small license fee. He escapes
the personal and property tax entirely
since he is seldom here more than
month or so. Even if he should be COM
PEELED to pay a personal or property tax
1t would not inconvenience him to any de-
gree for such establishments ordinarily
carry stock of small value at any one
time.

business. and l am sure that every mer-
chant in Washington joins me In COM
