CITY RULERS SURE OF
WINNING BOND SUITS
General Counsel Syme Will Con-
tend Courts Cannot Inter.
fere With Action.

Confident that the courts will uphold
its action in refusing to authorize bond
issues requested by the Washington
Railway and Electric Company and the
Potomac Electric Power Company. the
Public Utilities Commission is prepar-
ing 10 present Its case to the District
Supreme Court.
ConRad II. Syme. general counsel. will
represent the commission. He will con-
tend that the courts are without power
to interfere In any way with the action
of the commission as to bond or stock
issues of public utilities, that Congress
intended that the commission alone
should exercise this power. and that 1t
should not be subject to review by in
junction, mandamus or otherwise by
the courts. The United States Supreme
Court, he said. has repeatedly upheld
should not be interfered with.

The power company seeks to force
the commission to authorize the issu-
ance of $4,000 In bonds to reimburse
the company for improvements made
to comply with orders and rules Of
the Government authorities. The COM
mission was asked last January for
authority to issue s495: 900 worth Of

Stage Star Intends
to Seek Chance to
Appear Against
His Own Film

The value Of motion picture en-
Gagements to stage stars as ad-
Vertising is to be given a definite
test during the coming season.
There are many stars, Of course.
who will appear on the stage in
have acted are being shown. But
there Is only one star who has SO
far announced his intention Of de-
liberately seeking bookings in such
cities and Of playing against HIM
self purely for the purpose Of
settling the question Of whether or
not motion pictures injure or i'm
prove the business value Of dram
atic stars. This actor with an in
er Whiteside. who has Just finished
hts first film drama, an adaptation
Of Israel Zangwill's "The Melting
Pot" In which he was starred on
the stage for several seasons.
Mr.. Whiteside has q very large
following in all sections of the
country. especially in the South.
ness has not been killed by the
blight which struck the theatrical
world two seasons ago. He. Is Of
the opinion that motion picture
work Is a help to stage stars. but
he also believes that the matter Is
one that Is open to argument and
he thinks the only way to get a
real answer to the question is to
test 1t by practical demonstration.
II realize" said Mr.. whiteside.
speaking of the situation, that there
has been much said pro and con
about the ability of stage people to
draw the public after they have ap-
peared on the screen. and now l am
going to find out by actually playing
In opposition to myself.
4 understand that The Melting
Pot has been sold to q large number
Of independent distributors OF films.
and there Is no doubt in my mind
that the picture will be shown by the
picture houses in opposition to our
company wherever we may be play
ing. II the results do not give US
a premise on which to stand in the
future, shall miss my guess.
And I feel pretty sure that the
American people do not prefer the
shadow to the substance. II they do.
then there will be no competition. 1t
is a poor mental status. in my opin-
lon. which can be satisfied with a
deaf mans luxury"

Washington's First Female
Driver Has Georgia Avenue
to Columbia Road Route.

When Mrs. Agnes w. Maher cranks
up her five-passenger car and motors
to Georgia avenue and Park road early
tomorrow morning. Washington's first
woman titney driver will have made
her appearance.
Mrs Maher Is the wife OF w. F.
Maher. Of 613 Lamont street northwest.
She sees big possibilities for her sex in
the 1itney lines Of Washington. Her
fondest dream. at present. is to own
several 1itncy buses, each driven by
e. woman.
Starting tomorrow morning at 7:16
o'clock. Mrs. Maher will travel in her
jitney over the route she has selected
for the first time. 1t will take her
from Georgia avenue and Park road to
Columbia road. then west to Sherman
avenue. down Sherman avenue to Ninth
and T streets. and from there In as
straight a route as possible to Eighth

the first woman to apply for a driver 8
license. That honor belongs to Miss
Selena NJ. Wright, Of 1925 Newton street,
but. although Miss wright's application
has been approved. it still waits in the
license clerks office in the District
building for her to call for 1t.
Mrs. Maher is every inch a business
woman. She has been engaged In busi-
ness In Pittsburgh, and for two years
was employed In the Department of
Commerce here.
But she says. Indoor business Ia
too confining. When the jitney lines
started here they appealed to me as
being. first of all. good business prop
osition. and. second. as giving women
an opportunity for an out-of-door life.

lie my car In establishing one."
May Put On More Cars.
Mrs. Maher believes that she will be
subjected to DO annoyances as the result
OF her venture.
1T oil depends upon the woman her
self" she declared. "Annoyances, be-
lieve, are totally unnecessary. My hus-
band at first was dubious concerning
this very phase of the matter. but I am
not the least disturbed. Anyway, it's
worth a trial. And II IL pays-then I'm
going to put on two or three more cars
and the drivers Of them will be women. II
