committee of the department was guilty
of gross neglect, was charged in a report

COMPLAINT IS AWAITED
ON TRANSFER QUESTION
District Commissioners Not to
Act Until Shown Law
Is Disobeyed.

Action by the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia toward enforcing
the provision requiring reciprocal
transfers between the metropolitan
Coach Company and the two street rail-
ways of Washington will not be taken.
it was reiterated today at the District
building, until some Interested citizen
files formal complaint or affidavit to
show that the street railway companies
or the herdic company have refused TO
obey the new law.
Corporation Counsel Thomas expects
that complaints will be filed in the Po
lice Court by persons holding herdic
transfers which have been refused by
the street car conductors on the two
systems. Until complaints are MED, Mr..
Thomas said Rday, the District au-
thorities are powerless in the matter.
New Law Only Disregarded.
The Washington Railway and Electric
Company's conductors on the Georgetown
and Mount Pleasant lines are accepting
herdic transfers at 18th and II streets
usual. 1T is stated the transfer ar
rangcment at that point Is one of twenty
years standing, and that a specific law
dating back that far requires the street
railway To accept these transfers.
The new law requiring the street car
company TO accept transfers at 10Th
street and New York and Pennsy lvania
avenues is the one attacked as unconsu-
tutional by the street railway officials.
The Capital Traction Company, it Is
stated. has never entered into transfer
arrangements with the herdic company.

Asks That Thaw Be Called.

Clark declared that in January 1nforHa-
ton came to him that the so-called
prison ring made up of Supt. Scott ana
his immediate underlings," was engaged
in a conspiracy to Involve the governor
so that they might be retained in their
profitable business in brokerage pardons
He declined to divulge from whom he had
received his information, but requested
that Thaw himself be questioned.
Accordingly, the committee will hold
hearing at Matteawan, probably THURSDAY.
to place Thaw upon the witness stand.
He will be questioned regarding a1ega-
tons that the governors name was USED
without authority and also concerning a
charge made. by Clark that DIR. Russell
received $4,000 to bring about ThaW's
release, $l1 900 Of which, Clark says, DR..
Russell returned. The committee also
plans to examine Thaws bank accounts
at this time.
At yesterdays hearing Col. Scott added
his corroboration to that of Dr. May re-
garding DR. Russelrs assertions that
Clark told Russell it would be pleasing
to Gov. Sulzer'' if Thaw We're released.
DIR. Russell also described his dealings
with John n. Anhut, who, he said. onered
him the enty-thousand-dollar bride.
Other Witnesses Summoned.
The committee decided to summon AL
fred Henry Lewis, a magazine writer
who recently visited Thaw; Augustus
Roeder who had been investigating re-
ports that Clark had used the governors
name without authorization and II. A.
Hoffman, a Poughkeepsie detective, said
to be in Thaw's employ.
Clifford l.. Beare, who said he appeared
as Anhut's attorney, announced that An
hut would formally deny that he had at
tempted to bride DR.. Russell
DR.. Russell said before the committee
that John Nicholson Anhut" was the
man who offered him a twenty-five-thou-
sand-dollar bride to release Thaw. He
told of having met Anhut in 1912 when
proceedings We're pending for Thaw's re-
lease.
Il told him I could not do anything of
the kind, as / thought too much of my
honor and my position. ] told him that
