Vice President Hanna's Figures.

Vice President Hanna's Figures.
During the session in the afternoon
Vice President Hanna of the Capital
Traction Company took the stand
with figures from a precursory and
casual investigation into the transfer
problem.
This is one of the points on which
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company is making a plea. Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
officials claim that they are at a dis
advantage under the transfer system
because the haul from transfer points
is longer for their system than for
the Capital Traction Company, and
that the distribution of returns for
transfers is not equitable in face Of
the long haul.
Mr.. Hanna introduced a set of fig
ures, computing roughly the mileage
haul of each company. He declared
that while there were many other
elements entering into the PROPOSE
ton, the number Of transfers collect
ed at transfer points during the
months Of June and July totaled more
for the Capital Traction Company
than for the competing company.
The figures for June he set at 49,
500 transfers collected on Capital

paid cents to the Washington Rail-

Hanna at 21s,20S for the Capital Trac-

other company.
During the first twenty-one days in
August he said more than $4,000

mitted that at Wisconsin avenue and

to the Washington Railway and Elec-

that this should be balanced by the fact
that other transfer junction conditions
might neutTalize the disadvantage.

ZONE FARE HEARING
OVER UNTIL friday
Citizens Associations Will
Present Thirty Witnesses
Opposing the Plan.

Hearing on the application OF the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company for a higher rate of fare
to keep it from falling short of
operating expenses this year was adj
;journed yesterday afternoon until
Friday morning to enable citizens to
prepare their case in opposition to a
zone system.

least thirty witnesses to introduce
against the zone plan.
Fare Difficult Problem.
Those who nave followed Washing
toms street car situation agree that
the most difficult problem it has yet
had to deal with. 1t is confronted
with the necessity of providing one
company with $1.500,000 more of
the rival company does not need
more revenue at this time.
: j. H. Hanna of the Capital Traction
Company testified yesterday after
noon that straight increase in the
fare of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company without changing
the fare of his company would be un-
fortunate for the city as whole. He
said the lines of the two companies
are competitive in nearly every sec
ton of the city, and that an increase
to the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio only would cause people to flock
to the Capital Traction in such num-
bers as to make traffic conditions un-
bearable. He said that while the
revenue of his company might be in
creased for a time. the crowds would
pull down the Capital fractions serv-
Ice to a point where people would be-
gin to prefer the Washington Rail-
way and Electric even at higher

that if the plan proposed for increased

Higher Fare Not Enough.

According to Mr.. Hams testimony
yesterday. even the zone system with
an additional scent fare to all the
suburbs would net the company only
about $560,000 more revenue, whereas
the company needs $1,500. 900 more in
order to keep on its feet. This would
leave 100000 additional to be raised
limits at least to 6 cents.
Mr.. Clayton of the citizens fedora
tioD IL prepared to argue that nat
Increase of or 2. cents in the pres

would be more equitable than a zone

THE strong argument against the

ically, especially as regards the con sioeration to be given the peace treaty , by Germany, the market is ruling steady at present.
 In it's weekly summary Washington reports that seasonable temperatures and moderate rainfall were favorable for cotton over most districts and the crop made satisfactory to very good progress, although moderate rains would be beneficial in some localities. Planting is nearly completed, except in the northwest portion of the belt. where it is progressing favorably. The stand is generally satisfactory in most local ities Cotton made average progress in southern Texas and there was im- provement in the northern portion of the state.
 There remains a good demand for spots in the interior and at the ports principally for account of Liverpool and advices from the goods markets continue bullish.
 General rains have made their ap- pearance in the cotton region, with in dications for more wet weather in the immediate future. The continuance of wet weather in the interior would likely be considered unfavorable to the crop, while clearing weather would probably be loked upon as favorable H. and H. Beer.

Anniston, May 7.-(Special.) )-Enlarge- ton postoffice to probably double its ment of the working room at the Annis- present floor space. installation of a mod ern elevator service, and a general overhauling and improvement of the An niston institution to relieve the present congestion is in immediate prospect of a result of the unuring efforts of Con- gressman Fred L. Blackmon, Postmaster o. M. Reynolds and Mrs. E. c. Polk deputy clerk of the United States court.
 A one-story addition to the main build ing extending to more than half of the present entrance on Twelfth street and or sufficient floor space to take care of the rapid growth of the postoffice busi- ness is advocated by MT. Blackmon and MT. Reynolds, and while this extension has not been authorized, the feasibility of the plan has been submitted to h. spector John M. Gary representing tho office of the chief architect in Washing ton.
 Inspector Gary came to Aniston Tues day for a conference with Congressman Biackmon and the postmaster, and went thoroughly into the preliminary surveys concerning the addition of a one story room and the installation of an elevator service in the main structure. 5
 After the inspector had gone over the building and made himself familiar with the possibilities of the plan for enlarging the building, he was carried on visit of inspection to Camp Mcclellan by Maj. Robert E. Scott, the construction and utilities quartermaster at the camp. In- spector Gary expressed himselm as being impressed with the beauty of the camp site and with Mir. Blackmon MT. Key holds and the major visited every part of the reservation.
 The needs of the Anniston postoffice, as regards additional floor space, has De- come so acute that every effort will be made to secure the authority to erect the addition and to install the elevator, according to the plan submitted to the inspector by the postmaster and the con- gressman Tuesday.
