Government, at the least conspicuous
place in the city OF Washington for such

great step toward beautifying that sec
ton of the city. The building will be
almost entirely hidden from view by the
high railroad embankment at this point
and the buildings of the new Bureau OF

satisfies the eSthetic feelings OF all rea-
soma BILE men.

SAY ''NEW HAVEN" SHOULD OPERATE
 STEAMSHIP LINE
Members of Public Service Board, Tells ]. c. c. That
 Shippers Favor Plan.
HALE QUESTIONED
 BY FEDERAL AGENT
Says He Prefers Monopoly in Control So Far As
 State Is Concerned.

New York, Feb 19-The shippers of Connecticut favor continued control by the New York, New Haven 6. Hart ford Railroad com pany of it's steam ship lines, acording to members of the public utilities commission of Connect icut, who were witnesses today before the Interstate Commerce Commission CT Judson c. Clements in the hearing on the roads aplication to retain it's boat lines under the Panama Canal Act.
 J. H. Hale of Glastonbury, 8 mem Der of the utilities body and a heavy shipper, testified that his commission conducted an inquiry to determine the attitude of the people of Connecticut, both shipers and New Haven road stockh holders, toward the New Ravens petition and found that, the general opinion was that 1t would be ''univer- sally unwise at this time'' for the gov- ernment to decree a divorcement.
 H. Elder, representing the interstate commerce commission, asked MT. Hale whether, in his opinion, the same com petition existed between rail and wa ter lines owned jointly as existed when the boat lines were operated independ- entity, but he insisted that rates were higher and that the shipeprs would have to pay The service now, the witness described as excellent and satisfactory"
 MT. Elder asked MT. Hale if he knew yss1<t, iii aa6, a prosperous it, dependent water line, the Hartford & New York. was bought by the New Haven through the railroad giving i$200 par value of New Haven stock for every $1OO par value of the in dependent lines stock. The with was aware of this.
 'fAs public utilities commi issi oner do you think it was proper for the New Haven road to make such a pur- chaser MT. Hale was asked. ''The New Haven's action has not interfered with the quality of service,' MT. Hale replied. Monopoly was preferable to competition he added, insofar as the New Ravens joint control exists in Connecticut today
 c. c. E1wel1, Of New Haven. an- other member of the public utilities commission, testified that an inquiry convinced him that it was s'the un1- versaI desire' of the people of Con necticut that the New Haven continue to own it's boats. He had been em- pIoyed by the New Haven road at various times, he testified, but denied knowledge of any 'pressure'' being exerted by the road to force an inde- pendent steamboat line to carry fer tilizer and other ''obnoxious ship mentS" tIa .

FALLING FIDDLER PREVENTS ESCAPE
 OF GAR PATRONS
Fleeing Passengers Blocked By Gentleman With Two
 Large Suitcases.

A panic in which the lives of 22 trolley passengers were endangered was averted Thursday evening when a fuse in a, Paradise Green trolley car blew out filling the car with smoke.
 Some one screamed the Car is on fire" and a scramble was made by the passengers for the doors. A peddler of unusual proportions, carrying two dress suit cases was the first to make a dash for the door. Either the weight of the suit cases or the slip perry condition of the f1ooH did not per init the peddler to get very far as he fell in the middle of the car and bIockaded the exit for the other pas sengers-
 Motornan John Flanagan extin- guished the blaze. He received many burns on both hands and was taken to the office of pr. George B. CoweI for treatment. The injuries were not serious. None of the passengers was hurt.
