Capital Traction Company
Files Brief Outlining Its
View of the Law.

/ The Capital Traction Company has I'M
dertaken to tell the interstate commerce
commission just where 1t stands as re-
CARDS control Of the street railways of
the District of Columbia. The railway
company today filed its brief in the case
of s. T. ]. Price and others against the
Washington and Old Dominion Railroad
Company and the Capital Traction Com
pany. in which the complainants are seek

on the Great Falls line to Seth and NJ

The local traction company declares
that an agreement between it and its CO.
defendant calls for an exchange of pas
sengers by transfer and that the slips
! are redeemed at 2h cents each.
Not Interested in Case.
The Capital Traction Company asserts
that this arrangement has not been af-
fected by the new tariffs which are being
attacked in this case. and declares fur
Their that it is "in nowise interested in
any order which the commission may
make SO long as it does not undertake
