TRAFFIC EXPERT FROM

John A. Beeler and Corps to Begin

John "A. Beeler and corps of engi-
neers and traffic experts are expected
in Washington from New. York tomor-
row to begin at once the inquiry which
the public utilities commission hopes
will result in speedily relieving con-
gestion on local street railway lines.
Because he considers the work Of ma
tional Importance and in the nature of
a war emergency, Mr.. Beeler will re-
call some of his men from engineering
tasks upon which they are now en-
gagged in other cities and direct their
energies in a big drive to find the So
luton ofsWashington's traffic problem
with the least possible waste Of time.
Mr.. Beeler and his men will be given

pied by the public utilities commission.
on the third floor of the Municipal
building. From two to four months
may be consumed IN the inquiry. but it
is the hope of the commission that
recommendations for immediate i'm
provement will be made in three or
four weeks after the Bee1er forces
get to work. Recomm endat1onS to meet
the needs of the future will not be
made until the conclusion OF the inves-
tigation.
Protests against the proposed in
creases in the rates for gas and tele-
phone service in the District are reach
ing the public utilities commission in
every mail. Ii the interest of the pub
lie in these matters. as reflected by it's
correspondence with the commission, is
any indication of what may be expect
ed at the public hearing next Tuesday,
when the gas application is taken up,

modate the crowd. The commission is

BY Canadian Pfess, Limited.
CANADIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, Decefnber 15.--Mors than 81
per cent OF the total vote Of the Cana
dian corps had been polled today In con-
nection with next weeks election in
Canada. some units have polled 100 per
cent OF the ballots.
There have been dramatic incidents in
obtaining the votes of men who were
wounded in action. The election officers
have brought their ballot boxes with
them to the advanced dressing stations
and voted men as they lay in bed--Hfen
so weak that it was all they could do to
mark their ballots.
In the same way they have gone
through the front line trenches. One
poll clerk has been seriously wounded,
presiding officer has been sent to the base
as a casualty and one gunner voting be-
side his gun was hit by shrapnel. Polling
booths have been damaged by shell fire
and bombs. but there has been no serious
interruption to the election work. and
above all no interference with the actual
war operations.

SENATOR SMITH TO PUSH u. S.
CONTROL OF PRINT PAPER

The print paper situation win be aired
In the Senate II Senator Smith Of Arizona
has HIS way. He has given notice that he
win seek action on his joint resolution
providing for government supervision.
regulation and control Of the production
and distribution OF print paper and pulp
In tFae United States as soon as the min
era1 land leasing bin has been disposed Of.
The measure. Senator Smith contends,
is a war measure and is essential to the
successful prosecution Of the war. The
government must have . supply Of print
paper, and news print paper must be sup-
Piled to the newspapers generally. The
report Of the COMMITTEES on paper specifi-
cations to the joint committee on print
ing WAS made yesterday. II shows that &C.,
oo0. 900 pounds OF paper viii be required
for government printing In the year be-
ginning March /, 1918. This estimate 10
about go per cent OF the quantity Of paper
which the government printing of1ice viii
use during the present year, the extraor-
diEary demands due to the war having al,
ready necessitated an expenditure OF $2,-
100000 for the first 1--WE months Of this
fiscal year.
1t is expected therefore that the total
amount Of paper that the public printer
will have 10 buy for. the present fiscal
year will exceed 100, 900, 900 pounds cost
ing about S4,600.000.
Some idea of the vast increase in gov
ernment printing due TO the war may be

had from the fact that in normal years
the public printer has required about
$4,000, 600 pounds OF all classes of paper.
while. for the coming year his estimate
for book paper alone exceeds this total.
The War Department itself has est-
mated that 1t will require $3.00o.000 the
coming year for printing. which is ten
times tho amount II ordinarily expends
FOR that purpose in peace times.
The joint committee on printing itself
has already taken the initiative in the
use of lighter weight papers by having
the Congressional Record and congress
sional documents printed upon thirty
five instead OF forty pound book paper.
Including the estimated saving to the
Post Office Department in tho handling
OF the reduced weight OF franked con-
gressional matter this has already ef-
fected an economy Of about 100000 for
the year.
The joint committee also gave recogni-
ton to the recent agreement entered into
by the Attorney General with the news
print manufacturers to the effect that
the price for news print should be fixed
by the Federal Trade Commission. The
committees schedule provides. in ac-
cordance with this agreement, that the
price OF news print TO be furnished the
government printing Office after April
shall be the same as that fixed upon by
the Federal Trade Commission for the
newspaper publishers,

the republicans will have majority

Herbert II. Wooden of Carroll county

can re-elect him to that office.
Certain state officials have been try

Richard A. Johnson of Howard, Tor
president The latter. however. is
quoted as saying that he will not be a

reelection. and therefore he is not
be possible to beat Senator Campbell in
the caucus. Opposition TO Senator
Campbell is in no sense personal. Few
men who have been at Annapolis for
as many years have had more friends.
The only reason there is any opposi-

Administrator Is Disturbed.

The state administration, if all re-

ed because Of the situation in the SEN
ate The governor has q lot OF appoint
lnents to make that will have to be con-
1rmed by the senate, and unless he has
the democratic members solidly ON his
side he may experience all sorts of trou-
bic. One unruly democratic senator can
block his appointments absolutely if the
republicans also line up soiidly against
him.
1t is a question whether all the demo-
Gratis will stand by caucus nomination
: for president of the senate, the feeling be-
tween the elements being SO pronounced
that an organization may lie delayed,
though the leaders do not apprehend such
a happening. The detection OF one SEN
1ator would also in this matter tie up the
entire senate. No help will be forthcom-
ing from the republicans if the party
leaders can prevent it. They will counsel
the members of their party to stand by
their candidate to the very last. and un-
der no circumstances. whatever the in
.ducemeats offered 70 vote for democrat.
