Friends Of Miss Julia Lathrop. CHIEF

Is claimed to be an attempt to obtain
her removal will not be successful.
There have been several attempts to
remove Miss Lathrop both by members

that supervisory officers who investigate

1t is thought by many friends of Miss
Lathrop that the amendment will not
be introduced. Several efforts to re-
move Miss Lathrop by means Of legis-

porities.
: There has been no charge Of incom-
potency against Miss Lathrop, her
friends say. II Is known that the bureau
is new, and that little money has been
furnished for its work. Miss Lathrop's

commendable. Regarding the expert

Commissioner yesterday arguedS before
the House District Committee in = hear
ing that lasted continuously from loauatii
after Q O'Clock Men and women filled
the room during the session.
|, AT the conclusion Of the session many
asked to be heard and adjournment was
taken until tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock. Corporation Counsel syrne. who
was present ,to- testify. Was invited to
make his statement tomorrow morning.
Each one Of the District Commission
ers declined To answer questions relating
to the management. services and Affairs
of the local street RAILWAYS. on the
ground that as Public Utility Commits
sioners they are now engaged in An in
vestigation of these matters and they
could not properly speak until the in
vestigation and valuation Of the utilities
is concluded. Each rested his case on
the theory that public service should be
rendered by q public agency.
Pressed for Reasons.
Pressed by Representative winslow for
specific reasons, Commissioner Newman
replied: Es = "a
well. I win say this: Already the
Public Utilities Commission. In its at
tempt to requisite the Washington COM
panies has met with so much obstruc-
ton and opposition to effective regula-
ton. that seriously doubt that. We can
regulate them effectively"
"A service which is public ought to be
rendered by a public agency with the ele-
.ment Of profit Eliminated. 3 asseroed Mr..
Newman. He exclaimed that through his
expefience as a Newspaper man In q
number of cities he had become convinced
that municipal ownership Of public utiiir
ties was preferable to private ownership.
Then you were prejudiced on this SUBJ
ject when you became Commissioners"
Mr.. Winslow suggested.
II would not call 1t prejudiced." the
Commissioner rejoined, Il had the con-
viction.''
Commissioner Siddons declared himself
to be in entire accord with the head Of the
District board. He also requested that
he be excused from answering any ques-
tons relating to the operation Of the local
public utilities.
Col. Chester Harding, the Engineer
Commissioner, was fhes-last. to testify
He said he had not given the subject
Of municipal ownership any thought ex-

and had come to the conclusion that
his colleagues stand was correct.
Sees Lower Fares.
Ny belief is" said Col. Harding. 'as-
Stunning there is equally efficient manage
ment in private and public operations.
a lower fare can be obtained under a
publicly-owned road" s-. -
Another reason advanced by the Com
missioner was that he found In the Pub
lie Utility Commission that a point was
frequently reached when the commits
sion was delving into the private affairs
of individuals. This was distasteful to
him, he said, and II might be entirely
eliminated by public ownership.
Col. Harding in response to a ques-
ton by Congressman Igoe as to the
efficiency Of Government employees said
that he regarded the average Govern
ment employe as a very efficient man.
