mo FUNDS FOR CARS
SAYS v. R. &E. HEAD.
Tells Commissioners of Diff
ficuIty in Complying With
Increased Service Order.

Traffic has been SO diverted by the
two-cent transfer order that the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company believes the readings taken
recently, upon which the Public
Utilities Commission based an order
for increased service, are not indica-
tive OF conditions now existing.
The company expresses this opinion

study the situation with a view to
rearranging schedules.
President Hams Statement.
The letter, written by President w.
F. Ham. states that the company is
now operating approximately fifty
more cars than 1t did last year, this
being an increase of about 16 per
cent.
To put on the additional service
ordered by the commission, Mr.. Ham
says. would require the operation of
approximately seventy-four additional
cars daily. involving an expenditure
of about 100000 and an annual
operating expense Of S25S,00O.
Tne company has no funds with
which to make these investments, :"

Its earnings can be Increased, can
raise no money through sale of bonds
because OF the usual mortgage re-
qutrement that earnings must exceed
by safe margin all interest charges.
"stagger Hours" Helpful.
I'VE are Of the opinion that, due to
the rush period conditions in Wash
ington 1t is almost impossible to fur
nish service to meet the standards
prescribed. Mr.. Beeler in his report
very fully goes into the necessity of
the government offices opening at DIFF
ferent hours. The staggering Of hours
would be of great advantage in re-
ducing the tremendous demand now
occurring daily when nearly every one
In the city tries to travel in the same
direction at the same time"
Mr.. Ham states that the additional
service called for in the commissions
order approximates a 20 per cent in
crease over the number of cars now
being operated, and that to furnish
the service would necessitate increas-
Ing the capacity Of the power plant,
substations, car houses. conduits and
feeders, all Of which would cost a
large sum Of money.

Hugh Gibson Finds No Atroc-
tiles Are Practiced
Against Jews.
LlTHUANIANS IN PLEA

After thorough investigation Of the
charges which have been made in the
United States that the Poles are per-
scouting the Jews and that thousands
of Jews have been slain by the
Poles in the course Of their anti-Se-
mitic outbreaks, Hugh Gibson, Amer
lean minister to Poland. has cabled a
report to the State Department declar-
ing that he has found no reported
atrocities in Poland. Lithuania or Ga
licia. So far as known the Wilma and
Pinsk affairs are the only ones where
it can be stated that the Jews have
suffered as the result of Polish mil
itary activities against the bolsheviks
of Russia and the bolshevik groups
in Poland proper.

Method Suggested.

AS the initial funds of each corpo-
ration were exhausted by financing
shipments abroad, they would obtain
additional money from the central Sc
curities corporation, which would
take as collateral the European Sc
curitfes pledged to the group corpora
ton and the obligation of that cor
poratton. With such ample security
and the possibility of Offering an at
tracttve return, perhaps per cent, it
is believed debentures offered by the
central corporation to the public
would md ready sale. 1t is planned
that the central corporation would be
flexible in organization, starting with
a small capital and charging as the
export financing develops.

Government Officials Approve.

Government officials believe that no
more important project now is under
consideration as a reconstruction
measure, and point to the disturbed
conditions of the foreign exchange
market as necessity for some action
to end present abnormal conditions.
Operations of the International Cot
ton Corporation will be watched close
ly by bankers, and the result utilised
in the organization Of other group
corporations as may be needed,
great advantage in having a concern
to handle each material being that
funds to start work can be raised in
the section Of country most vitality
interested in that particular industry.

Sources Of Information.

Mr.. Gibson states that his sources
of information are the local news
papers. including the Jewish press;
the American relief administration.
whose representatives cover all
Polish districts; the American Red
Cross. the American Jewish joint
distribution committee. Allied Mis-
sion, representatives of Jewish or
ganizations who have talked frankly
with him concerning the situation,
and miscellaneous sources.
1t is stated that information has
been given that there is feeling
against certain classes of Jews.
largely due to economic reasons
rather than to religious intolerance,
and that according to this informal
ton certain Jewish elements support
the government and are regarded
with respect as an integral part Of
the nation Of Poland, while another
Jewish element Is openly hostile to
the government.

that the whole country looks on
anxiously. The other Commission
has just as hard problems, but the
interest is far less. The street car
