suit OF what IL believed to be an at
tempted suicide. Argucllo IL said to
have shot himself four times shortly
before . o'clock last night as he was
returning to Albuquerque from Ala
media.
Arguello has three wounds In his
faco. and one over the heart. the
latter being the one which is likely
to prove fatal. Tho face wounds in
clude one In the mouth and two In

Dr. L. u. Cohenour. attending

have been possible for the man to
shoot himself three times in the face
and then In the beart.
Could He DO II?
Others pointed out however. that
II was improbable that any man
would do this and secuted the suicide
theory.

Traction Valuation Figures
Fair, Board Tells District
Supreme Court.

Declaring valuation figures. rep
historical and reproduc-
tion costs placed upon properties OF
the Capital Traction Company. the
Washington Railway and Electric
the City and Suburban
Company and the George
town and Tennallytown Railway
Company are fair and just, the
Public Utilities Commission yester-
day asked the District Supreme
Court to dismiss the plea OF the va
rious companies for an injunction
setting aside the figures.
The commission. in answering the
petitions filed December 30. states
It took into consideration every
item possible and denies IL neglect
ed. in the case of the Capital Trac-
tion Company. to Consider the price
paid for the properties of the WASH
ington and Georgetown Railway
Company by the Rock Creek Rail-
way Company. Both concerns were
absorbed by the Capital Traction
Company in 1896.
Referring to complaint of other
street car companies belonging to
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company. the commission de-
clares IL omitted consideration of
certain items In the valuation fig-
ures because the companies had
spent amounts outside the District
for Improvement.
Therefore, the commission claims,
II having no Jurisdiction beyond the
District line. the contention of the
companies in this respect Is with
out foundation.

Separate Traffic Court and
Local Motor Commis-
sioner Also Urged.

A tax of so cents a horsepower
on all automobiles in the District was
urged yesterday by Conrad H. syme,
former corporation counsel. before
the subcommittee of the House Com
.mittee on the District of Columbia
which is holding hearings on the
Zihlman bill to amend local traffic
laws.
Such horsepower tax, he said.
should be in lieu Of the present un-
satisfactory personal property tax,
and all money collected from auto
mobile taxes should be turned over
to the Engineer Commissioner for
expenditure on roads and streets in
the District.
Syme contended that the present
system of dividing motor vehicles
into three classes for taxation is
old-fashioned and has been discarded
in most States along with abadon-
ment of personal property taxes.
Syme also asked that the Commits
sioners be authorized to regulate
pedestrian traffic at street crossings.
w. Pierce Raymer, chairman of the
traffic committee of the Washington
Automobile Trade Association and
vice chairpan of the Board of
