AUTHORITY IN QUESTION
Secretary Daniels Plan for
Filling Vacancies in Pay
Corps Opposed.

Opposition is being made by Michael
Dowd OF this city as the representative
Of several young men interested in Sc
curing appointments in the Pay Corps of
the navy to the action of Secretary
Daniels in directing that the ten
vacancies existing in the corps be filled
by promotions from the enlisted per-
sonnet Of the navy. Examinations for
these appointments will be held next
month.
1t Is contended that the Secretary OF
the Navy has exceeded his authority
In restricting the competition to enlisted
men.
Question His Right.
Il have no doubt that the intention is
good" said Mr.. Dowd. lit being Sec
rotary Daniels purpose to encourage
men to enlist in the naval service but
it is a question If he has the right to
exclude civilians
He added that several young men in
civil life had been told that they would
have a chance in the examination. with
the result that they had given up their
situations in order to prepare them
selves for 1t. and had already incurred
considerable expense in the matter, only
to be now informed that they were not
eligible.
It is intfmated that the legality Of
Mr.. Daniels order may be tested in the
courts.

Demands.

Transportation needs of the District
of Columbia are to be made the subject
of continuous study by the public
utilities commission. Under authority
conferred upon it by Congress, the COM
mission may order the extension Of
street car lines and it is planning to
exercise its authority in this respect
wherever it may find congestcd traffic
conditions.
Construction of cross-town line be-
tween r and L streets is a matter that
may be considered by the utilities
board in the near future. it is learned
Col. Chester Harding. Engineer Commits
sioner and chairman OF the commission,
stated yesterday that he has considered
Informally the need of a cross-town
transportation service.

considers the law comforting upon the
commission authority to extend trans
portation lines general authority by
which the board not only may order the
extension of a particular route. but d.
rect that additional lines be built for
the purpose of relieving congested con-
d1t1onS in any section.
He said that the question of whether
street car line or herdic service would
best reneVe cOngeSted conditions in a
particular part of the city would be
taken into consideration in every case
regarding a proposed extension.

trict's relative density of population will
be undertaken shortly by Capt Schley.

chart will be used in connection with the
boards study of the city's transporta-
ton needs.
Whether the commission will adopt the
report submitted by the District Com
missioners to Congress last year in re-
Spouse to the resolution of the Senate
authorizing them 10 investigate and re-
port on the TRANSFORMATION needs of the
municipality Is question that has not
been decided. s,f
