Ruling Not Satisfactory.

Apparently, nobody is satisfied with
the 2-cent transfer ruling, unless it
be the citizens who are able to reach
their places of business without
transferring from one car line to an
ton against those who are not To-
Gated SO as to get the benefit of con-
tinuous rides that promises fight on
the legality of the order.
The Federation of Citizens. Associa-
tions is considering the matter
through its public utilities committee,
of which William NICK. Clayton is
chairman.
The proposed zone fare system was
attacked by the federation on the
ground that it would involve discrim-
nation as between urban and sub
urban patrons of car, lines, and, also,
it was claimed by this body that the
commission could not increase the fiat
rate Of fare without making it appli :
cable to both companies, If it would
not discriminate against the traction
concerns.
So far the only plan that has been
presented for relieving the distress Of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company without causing discrimina-
ton somewhere is that calling for a
fiat increase in fare for all the trac-
ton lines in the District.
W. r. and E. Plans Not Disclosed.
How the Washington Railway and
Electric Company proposes to meet
the situation created by the alleged
inadequacy of the transfer charge
has not been disclosed. 1t is consid-
cred that another appeal to the COM
mission al this time would be futile,
unless the company could show that
the commission made a mistake in its
calculations as to the number of
transfers the company reasonably can
be expected to issue during the year.
OF immediate concern to the COM
panies today was the order for the
furnishing of $40 additional trips
daily. Officials of both traction con
Germs say this will be an absolute
impossibility. 1t is expected an i'm
mediate appeal will be taken to the
commission. .t
This order is based on the standard
for street car service adopted by the
commission September 25, 1916. No
effort was made to enforce the stand
ard during the war. 1t requires that
for non-rush traff1c there must be
furnished on the average 100 seats
per eighty passengers, carried during
a period of one hour. For rush traf-
f1c the standard requires there must
be an average Of seven square feet

PLYMOUTH. May 31.-The Ameri-
can seaplane NC-4 completed her long
flight from the United States today.
She arrived here from Ferrol, Spain.
on the last jump of her journey at
1926 pm. local time G:2S pm. Green
witch time).
Keen interest in the event and the
fine weather. which succeeded a rainy
morning, brought out large crowds to
greet the arriving Americans, the
great wings of whose plane were
made out off the harbor at 2:23
o'clock. The NC-4 making a dashing
finish. swept quickly landward, and
three minutes later had settled down
on the waters of the harbor, to the
accompaniment of cheers from the
crowds and salvos from all the steam
craft within sight-her memorable
transatlantic trip ended.
The NC-4 left Ferrol at 6:27 o'clock,
Greenwich time. and made the dis
lance of approximately 500 miles to-
this port in six hours and fifty-nina
minutes, or, at the rate of nearly sew
enty-two miles an hour. The sea-
planes progress was reported several
times in her flight across the mouth Of
the Bay of Biscsy, first by the second
stationship. the destroyer Barney.
which she passed at 7:43 O'Clock, and
Hardwood. at sos. -,.''
The NC-4 was then half way across
the Bay of Biscay and by noon she,
had completed this section of her voy|
age. passing between Brest and the
Island Of Cuescant. between IL and

Situation Still Muddled.

Washington's traction situation. by
reason of the commissions transfer
order and the instructions given the
companies yesterday to furnish $40
additional trips daily, appeared to be
more muddled today than at any time
since it became upset by war condi-
lions.
Here are the disturbing elements:
First-The transfer order is attack
ed by citizens on the ground that it
is discriminatory, requiring transfer
passengers to stand the entire burden
of providing the companies with ad-
ditional funds.
Second-The Washington Railway
and Electric Company claims that the
commission has erred in it's caIcula-
ton as to the amount of revenue the
transfers will provide, and that it will
not be able to surmount it's difficulties
under the arrangement adopted.
Third-Both companies assert that
all cars available for operation and
for which crews can be obtained are
now being operated. and that it will
not be possible to provide the full
number of extra trips called for in the
commissions latest order.

of one-half hour.
Estimate of the Service Required.
sion about a month ago showed that
$50 additional trips would have to be
furnished by the companies in order
to provide the accommodations called
for by the standard of service.
1t was suggested by officials of the
commission today that if the volume
of traffic should be reduced by the
two,eent transfer order the COM
panies would not have to make as
many additional trips as have been
ordered to enable them to comply
with the standard.

IN VILLA, IS VIEW
Mexican Revolt Is Interesting
Problem for American
Government.
CARRANZA FAILS IN TEST
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN,

The Mexican revolt and the setting
up of d rival government to that of
the recognized CarranZa reg ime in
Mexico City offers an interesting
problem for the American govern
ment. a nut which would be particu-
larry hard to crack should the present
upheaval succeed.
The United States has recognized
the CarranZa regime, and theoretical
ly at least there is concord. AS mat
ter of fact Carranza is in bad odor'
with the American government, which
would not in the least decry change,
inasmuch as Carranza has proven abb
solutely unable to solve Mexico's
financial and economic ills, and has
continued to antagonize other powers
with large financial investments and
economic interests within the Mexican
borders.
Confidence in Angeles.
Gen. Angeles has the confidence of
all officials in Washington. but Gen.
Angeles diplomatic and military bed
fellow in the present uprising, Villa
is decidedly persona non grata in so
far as this country is concerned.
Villa is considered an "arch MUIR
derer. brigand and an unreliable en-
tity.' In so far as trusting the inter-
ests of Mexico to him there is no
trust.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-05-31

Though the exact number of VII
listaS is not known, and American
government agents in Mexico have
been loath to fix an exact number
owing to the unreliability of general
Mexican estimates. 1t is believed that
Gen. Villa may have within the neigh
borhood Of eight thousand men, who
are fairly well equipped for the cam
paign which has been ushered in
Government forces operating in the
region of Tampico and at other points
where they might be expected to
launch out against the revolutionaries
are apparently not eager for battle,
ana as consequence the Villistas are
moving as they please.
