HOPES THE CONTROLLER
WILL RECONSIDER RULING
Secretary of War Wants Rehearing
on Expenditures for q. s. Troops
at Student Camps.

The decision of the controller of the
Treasury declaring that there is no
authority for sending United States
troops to students camps will not
necessarily result in their abandon
ment by the War Department. The
Secretary of War has asked for an
other hearing on the question. and ii
is believed that the matter can be so
presented to the controller that he will
authorize the War Department to ex-
pend the necessary money for the
transportation of officers and men of
the regular army to the camps. In the
event that the present decision of the
controller shall hold good the War
Department will endeavor to hold the
camps at places where the United
States troops are already stationed.
Program Under Consideration.
The scheme is to hold a camp for the
eastern western colleges at Plattsburg
barracks, n Y. for the central wes-
tern colleges at Fort Sheridan, Ill.
for the southern colleges, at Fort Ogle-
thorpe. Ga. and for the western col
leges, at the Preside of San Francisco.
While this scheme may materially re-
duce the attendance at the camps and
will not give the classes as desirable
locations for the study of military
science as the original plan. the Sec
retary of War is SO anxious to con-
tinue the scheme for the training of
students that he is ready to adopt al
most any reasonable plan.
The net results of the controllers de.
cision probably will be legislation by
Congress at the next session authoriz-
ing the holding of the camps and the
necessary expenditure for their sup
port

EXPECTED TO APPROVE
UNION OF CAR LINES
Utilities Commission and Congress
Likely to Favor Local Anal
gamation. .

Effort on the part of Washington's 8
street railway companies to amalga-
mate is expected to meet with the ap-
proval of both the public utilities com
mission and Congress.
While conferences on the proposed
unification of the traction systems have
been held, as reported exclusively in The
star Yesterday. the public utilities COM
mission has not been consulted in the
matter il was stated last night.
Whether or not it is planned by the
railway heads to bring the subject to
the attention of the commission at an
early date could not be learned.
Favors Public Ownership.
commissioner Newman. speaking for
himself. said last night that he would
favor private ownership of the trac-
tion lines under one mana agement, pro-
vided the publiC's interest could be
properly safeguarded He pointed out
that such an arrangement would not
necessarily stand in the way OF ultl-
mate public ownership of street rail-
way lines The commission is pledged
TO the policy of public ownership, ne
said, and secondly favors private own
ership under one control. IL is not
likely to favor any plan that would put
it in the position of abandoning the
former principle.
Permission Expected.
That the companies Will be permitted
to amalgamate ii they Want to do so
was the prediction last night of Repre-
sentative Robert y. Page, chairman of
the subcommittee of the House appro-
priatlons committee, in charge of the
preparation of the Districts annual
appropriation bill. Mr.. Page at the last
session introduced a bill designed TO
give the street railway companies this
very permission, but the measure was
not reported from committee
He said that the bill was prepared by
him upon his own initiative and not at
the request of the railway companies.
If it can be shown that the companies
want such a law, that the utilities COM
mission favors the project and the pub
lie wants it, there scarcely is doubt
that Congress during the next ses-
sion will make the proposed ANAL ga
nation possible, MIR. Page declared.
In speaking of the benefits that
should follow a unification of the street
railway lines. Mr.. Page stated that.
first of all, it would make for universal
transfers. Secondly. it would reduce
overhead charges and make possible
the expenditure of more money for inn
provement in service. MIR. Page stated
that he hoped the lines could be con-
solidated. as he was confident the COM
panies and the public alike would profit
by such an arrangement.
