"a MILLION CAR
LINE MERGER URGED

A new traction company, with the
name of the National City Traction
Company, capitalized at $4,000, 600,
was the center of plan drawn up
by the Public Utilities committee OF
the Washington Chamber of Com
merce last night to solve the street
car question i'm this city.
The first part of the proposed plan
contemplates the appointment OF a
new utilities commission for street
cars alone, composed OF disinterested
: men.
This commission would determine
the values OF the present stock OF
both Of Washinfgton's railway COM
panies, and would fix the value OF
the stock Of the new concern. A ten
tative valuation OF the present rail-
way stock in merging was suggested
at $3.50 for the capital Traction
stock. and at $50 for Warrington
Railway and Electric preferred, and
$50 for its common stock.
Would Take Over Power. Company.
This would give present holders Of
Capital Traction stock the majority
holdings OF $4,000. 900 against the
SIC. 100000 OF holders OF Washington
railway.
The merger also indicates the tax
ing over OF the Potomac Electric
Power Company, now controlled by
the Washington railway
The statement was made by James
T. Lloyd that a fair arrangement
could be made by which stockhold-
ers in both companies would be sat
isfied.
j. N. Denty denied this and ques-
he - a.
make holders of stock of a prosper
Gus concern exchange for stock In Z
concern not so strong.
Col. John G. Capers declared that
service to the public is what is
wanted, and not more dividends for
the stockholders.
Means Better Service.
"The public is not getting what. it
is entitled to-" he maintained, "in
the way OF service, and cannot get
II under the present management. The
benefits to accrue from q merger
would be better service and univer-
sal transfers"
The plan proposed is the basis of
a bill which IT is proposed to have
submitted to Congress. 1t was In
troduced by Chaplin Brown. The re-
port will be submitted TO a full meet
ing OF the board OF directors OF the
Chamber next Thursday night. Under
the plan Congress would name the
number Of stockholders necessary to
vote for the merger, and also the re-
Enumeration payable to the non-as-
senting holders.
The s. w. Straus Company, of New
York and Chicago. has opened local
branch in this city with offices in the
National Metropolitan Bank building.
Clyde c. Huntington is the local
manager.
The Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey has just declared it's regular
dividend Of 50 per share.
A recent statement OF the Stutz
Motors Company shows that the net
earnings during the six months end
ing June 30 were $663,742 which is q
great increase over the S39S.O66 shown
during the same period last year.

It's production which marks the culmi-
nation OF one OF the most interesting

the persistent purpose which has

the WHY'S Overland company since he
built the first Overland car ten years
ago.

Of the new car from an engineering
standpoint represents q concentration
Of skill as intensive as the manufac

duction. Chief among the many en-
gineering features OF distinction in the

More than 10000 employees in the
many allied WHY'S Overland industrial
plants have taken part in the develop
