amount to 81 ,014, ,632.23 and apply the
relief needed by the Washington
Railway and Electric Company in the
manner proposed by me in this opin-
ion. there would be a merger of these
two roads before January, 1920.
I'm other words. when the Capital
Traction Company's stockholders
realize that it is an advantage to
them to merge with the other COM
pauy and the other company's stock
holders realize, as they do now. that
il is advantageous to them to merge
with the Capital Traction Company,
a merger will be brought about but
not before.
LAS long as the action Of the Public
Utilities Commission results in max
ing the stockholders of one company
richer and the stockholders OF the
other company poorer, there will be
no inducement to the prosperous to
merge. Why should there be IL the
commission continues, by its orders.

the public and put IL in the treasury

an allowance to the other company of
barely enough for them to keep their

Upon the other hand. IL the Public
Utilities Commission can give the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company sufficient money to permit

tage and at the same time give the
Capital Traction Company sufficient
money to operate its system to like
advantage the incentive would be
very much stronger for the COM
panies to merge--to bring their prop
critics together and operate them as
one prosperous system.
IF, however. the commission holds
that the profits from one company, the
Potomac Electric Power Company,
owned by the Washington Railway
apd Electric Company to maintain
its system, as being illegal, then like
wise would the same commission
hold, If the stockholders would under
take to merge, that the profits from
one company, the Capital Traction
Company, could not be used by the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company. and we would still have

stant rural growth and development
OF the District of Columbia, and have,
therefore, benefited thousa>~ods of
property owners and thousands OF
citizens who were compelled by rea-
SON of conditions of health and fl
nances to go into the rural sections,
and there rear their families.
These sections, however, are now
rapidly building UP, and the time is
not far distant when, in my opinion,
these various lines of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company
will be operated at profit rather
than as now At a very considerable
loss, for as the sections through
which these lines run, are developed
and populated, the result of the rev.
enue to the car lines will proper
tionately increase and the cost per
mile Of operating will be necessarily
reduced.
VIII Grow More Valuable.
when this condition is brought
about by reason or these changes,
which must necessarily result, the
property and franchises Of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
will become per mile as valuable as
the property of the Capital Traction
vantages OF a merger to both lines
are clearly shown and likewise the
advantages of a merger to the general
public is more necessary .
The Capital Traction Company is
now receiving a return of 9.36 per
cent on the valuation fixed by the
commission as the fair value of it's
property, and therefore does not need
and should not be given any increase
in fare if the commission can by it's
acts avoid doing So
II agree with my associates, how
ever, in that portion of their. opinion
in which they hold that any increase
allowed to the Washington Railway
and Electric Company by way of in
crease in fares to the public must
be allowed alike to the Capital Trac-
ton Company.
During the first seven months of
1919. $4,000, 900 persons paid for the
privilege OF riding on the lines of the
Capital Traction Company.
To Get Enormous Increase.
From the evidence in this case.
there will he no less than Al 900, 900
persons who will pay a fare and who
will actually ride on the Capital
Traction Company's lines during the
next six months tthe period for which
the increase in fare will be in force
as per terms of majority opinion).
Therefore. according to the ma
iority opinion, the patrons OF the Capt.
tai Traction Company for the next six
months, will pay the enormous in
crease of S550.O00. which is not re-
quired by that Company and the pub
lie should not be compelled by any
order of this Commission to pay this
increase IL the\ situation can be met
ferent basis.
why was II necessary for the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company to apply to this Commission n
for an increase in fares? Why was
IT necessary for the Commission, by
it's order, to grant Increased fares tn
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company?
THE answer is a simple one

SLAIN BY CHANCE FRIEND
Wealthy Eccentric Killed With An.
Cient Sabre in His Room

New York, Jan. 20.--Slain by chance
acquaintance whom he had tried to be-
friend was the fate of Winfield Phil
hover the electrical inventor and art
collector, found dead in his apartment
street.
The basic clue to this theory was a
bit of white pasteboard found by Cap
tain Carey in the old bachelors apart
ment. on the card was penciled the adj
dress of the recluse. He had evidently
given 1t to one of the many acquaint-
ances he was accustomed to pick up in
his night wanderings and take to his
apartments for stag" party.
1t WIS believed by the police that the
first blow that felled Philhower was
delivered with a high bronze vase as
the weapon, that Philhower tried to
fight back and his assailant then
snatched an ancient saber one OF the
many weapons hanging from the walls
and delivered the finishing blow.
Having killed the man who had in
vited him to partake of his hospitality,
the assassin seized diamond ring which
Philhower wore. He then rfed his
pockets OF the roll Of bills which the
recluse invariably carried, and fed.

MILLIONAIRE SHOOTS COPS
.aught in Crap Game, Fires When
Raiding Squad Appears

Nav York. Jan. 20-Belief that he
was about to be robbed for the third
time by hold-up men making a raid on
a dice game prompted Arnold Rothstein
to shoot two of eight policemen who
descended on game in which he was
participating. according to the story
the police said he told after his arrest
on charg. = of gambling, felonious assault
and carrying concealed weapons. The
policemen shot were not seriously
wounded
Nineteen other men, including Abe
Attel. formerly featherweight boxing
champion, were arrested and released in
$1,000 bail. The police said they had
obtained several thousand dollars OF
the stakes in evidence.
Rothstein, who is reputed TO he a

who raided a dice game in Harlem two
years ago and that the experience was

FACED DEATH FOR SCIENCE
Heroes of Navy Offered Them.
selves in Influenza Tests

Washington, Jan. 20.--Knowing the
epidemic Of influenza had caused thou
sands Of deaths. one hundred men Of
the United States Navy proved them
selves real heroes when they volun-
teered as subjects for experiments on
influenza which involved deliberate ex-
posure to infection with that disease.
The experiments were undertaken by
medical officers Of the navy, cooperating
with officers of the United states Public
Health Service. Some of them were
carried on in Boston, the others at San
Francisco. They were undertaken
chiefly to establish the nature of the
germ of influenza, and to learn some
thing about the way in which the disease
Is generally spread
Among the striking experiments car
ried on in Boston 30 men were subjected
to incubation with secretions, both fil-
tered and unfiltered, from the upper
respiratory passages of typical cases OF
influenza, in the active stage of the
disease. The material was introduced
into the nose and throats of the volun-
teers by means OF sprays. swabs, or
both. Curiously, in no instance was an
attack Of influenza produced in any one
of the subjects.

REVISION CHIEFS
IN PLEA TOSTATE
Winston and Evans Say
Hands Off" to Outside
Legislation
POINT TO .NOBRE CASE
Schemes Will Be Used, 1t Is
Alleged, to Beat Good Local
Government
POINT TO .NOBRE CASE

State legislators from districts outside
Philadelphia have been urged to take
no stand on the matter Of charter revi-
sion for Philadelphia, mo matter how
lnsldiously the matter may be presented
10 you, until opportunity Is given citi-
zens or this city to express their desires.
The request was made in letter sent
to all State Senators and Representa-
tires outside the city by John C. VIM
ston, chairman of the Philadelphia Char
ter Committee.
In amplifying the statements in the
letter, made public today. Powell Evans.
secretary of the committee, pointed to
the Nobre trial as one of the out
comes of 'the evil of the political con-
tractor system"
John NJ. Nobre, former city surveyor,
was acquitted Friday of charges OF
criminal libel preferred by State Sena-
tor Edwin H. Ware.
Mr.. Evans pointed to the wrangle In
Councils last Thursday over the placing
of n coal hole as an instance showing the
'incapacity and entire lack of dignity
and responsibility" OF Councils as now
organized
This committees proposals, If enacted
into law" continued Mr.. Evans, twill
either run out this misgovernment or
render it largely harmless for the future
1t stands to reason that as continuance
of our present governmental misrule here
is most important issue with the po-
iitical contractors. They may be expected
to pursue their well-known methods to
the limit to defeat the charter revision
measure in the Legislature"
Mr.. Evans then referred to the letter
sent out by Mr.. Winston. The letter fol-
lows:
The Juvenile Aid Society. answering
request for an opinion on charter re-
vision, made by Albert Smith Taught,
