MAKING EFFORT TO END
CAR STRIKE AT TOLEDO

TOLEDO. Ohio. April 5.-Final strenu-
Gus efforts to effect a settlement of the
tie-up of the Toledo street car system
before the federal court appoints a re-
ceiver will be made today. Henry L.
Doherty, managing director. and w. D.
Mahon, international president of the
Amalgamated Steam and Electric EN-
ployees. are attempting to arrange a
final conference. Mr.. Doherty has con-
ceded that the men are entitled to more
wages, but no definite amount has been
stipulated.
Federal Judge killts said this morn
ing that if there seems to be prospect
of a settlement out of court he will
defer appointment of a receiver until
Friday.
United States Marshal Lapp of Cleve-
land has been Instructed to be in court
tomorrow morning, so that if a re-
ceiver then is appointed on the city's
application he can at once swear in a
large number of deputies. Operation of
the cars by strike breakers will be at
tempted only as a last resort, it has
been announced.

COORDINATION is URGED

George Otis Smith Decries Wasteful-
ness of Competition in Govern
ment Work.

One hundred wears of existence
of the United States coast and
geodetic survey of the Depart
ment of Commerce is being cele-
brated this afternoon at the New
National Museum. The celebra-
ton, which began at 2:3O o'clock,
is under the auspices of the Off
cials of the coast survey, headed
by DR.. Z. Lester Jones, superin-
tendent, and will be continued to-
night at 8 o'clock and tomorrow
afternoon, closing tomorrow
night with banquet at the New
Willard Hotel, at which President
Wilson is expected to be present.
Speakers this afternoon told of the
cooperative work between the coast
survey and other bureaus of the gov
ernment engaged in work along similar
lines
The speakers today are DR.. Hugh NJ.
Smith, commissioner of fisheries: DR..
Louis A. Bauer. director of the depart
negie Institution of Washington; DR..
S. w. Stratton, director Of the bureau
of standards; Rear Admiral j. E. Pills

Pleads for Cooperation.
Speaking of the economical co-opera-
ton between the geological survey and
the coast survey, rather than the
wasteful competition. Director George
Otis Smith said the time was opportune
for government officials to pause and
consider the question of the regulation
of public business.
DO we apply the same rule to our
conduct of the business of these fed
eral bureaus that we advocate for the
control of corporations?" he said Here
at the federal capital we have some
two score scientific bureaus distributed

of duties among these different agencies
for public service. but as a fundamental
policy we have pinned our faith to a
sort of declaration of Independence
that all scientific bureaus were created
free and equal, with the inevitable re-
suit that some fields of scientific in
yestigation. are occupied by two or
more bureaus, other and less attra ctiye
fields Stunned, and even others perhaps
claimed by those not best qualified to
make the largest use of the opportunity
for work. This is the competitive sys
countenanced by men of scientific
training and high ideals of public
service.
But, first of all, we must agree that,
however great its advantage as a meth
cd of stimulating progress, competition
must be fair. If we are to apply the
principles of the Sherman act and the
Clayton law to public business. unfair
methods must be ruled out as illegal

ASKED TO HELP RESTORE
GEORGIA MANS MEMORY
Unusual Request Made of Secretary
Grant by Physician in
Augusta.

OF all the unusual requests that are
made of Secretary Thomas Grant of
the Washington Chamber of Commerce,
none has surpassed one received in a
letter today from physician in Au-
gusta, Ca, asking him to assist in an
effort being made to restore memory
to a man whose mind appears to be
blank and who does not even know his
name.
The letter was received from Willis
G. Wise of the University Hospital Of
Augusta. personal friend of Mr.
Grant. In it he states that several
weeks ago there came into his charge
a young man suffering from loss of
memory who has but the faintest recol-
lection of his past. About the only
thing of which he is positive is that
he was guest at a Washington hotel
he was accompanied by his mother He
has apparently forgotten his name and
his place of residence.
Stayed at Hotel in This City.
The young man was able to give a
very meager description of the hotel
in this city at which he stayed, but
DR.. Wise believes that it must have
been the Raleigh or the New Willard.
He has asked Mr.. Grant to obtain for
him a list OF the guests who stayed
at both hotels during the period in
question. He believes that if the
Young man heard his name spoken he
would recognize it.
Today Mr. Grant wrote to Manager
Haight of the New Willard and Mana
ger Weston of the Raleigh asking for
a list of the guests at those hotels from
February 10 to %. A picture of the
young man was shown to the clerks
at both hotels. thinking that one of
them might recognize him. One of
the force of clerks at the New Willard
stated he felt sure the young man had
been a guest at the hotel recently.
None of the clerks at the Raleigh was
a BILE to recall having seen the young
man.

District Commissioners Make
Formal Recommendation to
Secretary of War.
REPORT DEEMED VICTORY
FOR GEORGETOWN PEOPLE
Valuable Property Interests Built
Up Around Terminus of Pres
ent Aqueduct Structure.

Georgetown residents who are max
ing active fight to have the pro-
posed new Aqueduct bridge located at
or near the site of the present struc-
ture won a signal victory today when
their views were substantially incorpo-
rated in report on the subject sent
by the District Commissioners to the
Secretary of War.
At the suggestion of the Secretary
the Commissioners conducted hear
ing March 81 to obtain an expression
of public opinion to the most de-
sirable site for the bridge. George
town lined up soldly for the present
site. but many residents of Alexandria
county and some citizens of Washing
ton favored a more eastern terminus
Views of Commissioners.
In reaching their conclusion the Com
missioners, in their report to Secre-
tary Baker. state that they give con-
sderation to the following arguments:
by reason of the long use of the
present Aqueduct bridge as a connec-
tion between the District of Columbia
and Virginia there have grown up in
the old city of Georgetown, now West
Washington. valuable business inter-
ests. These interests are of such
character that it would seem very in
equitable and unjust to disturb their
value by removing the existing means
of communication with Virginia which
would be involved In changing ma
terially the present location of the
bridge.
"A bridge located at this proposed
site would be fixed bridge without
a draw; this would be so whether the
bridge terminus were located either at
its present site, at 36th street, or at
34th street If the bridge were located
with ITS terminus at II street, or in
that vicinity. the river traffic would
necessitate a draw similar to that in
the present Highway bridge. and form
an obstruction both to land and river
traffic. Such a bridge could not well
be built high enough to avoid the
necessity of draw
District to Pay Half.
In conclusion the Commissioners saw
There is no doubt that the present
Aqueduct bridge should be replaced
Such replacement has been advocated
for number of years past. but un,i,
the present year il has been pronosed
that the entire cost of new brid,e
be borne by the United States. This
year the Commissioners realizing the
great interest that the District Of Co
lumba has in the site of the bridge
and desiring TO have some voice in the
determination of that site, have recon-
mended that the cost of the new bridge
be apportoned between the District OF
Columbia and the United States as
other like joint expenditures have been
or may be apportioned.
l q
representatives of the people most
vitally concerned in the location OF this
bridge, desire to recommend that the
proposed new bridge be located at or
near the present terminus at 36th
street, and in any event no further
east than 34th street"
