English Financial Expert Says
Visit Is Effort to Interest
American Bankers.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.--'I have come
to this country to try to arrange the
extensions OF provisional credits to GER
tain European countries which are in
need. and also to obtain the consent
of financial interests and Government
officials to an international bond Is
sue" declared Sir George Paish.
famous British economist, in explain
ing today the object of his visit to
the United States.
THE. money derived from the sale
Of these bonds would be used to re-
habilitate the countries which are
badly in need as a result of the war.
So far as l know there is no disposi-
ton in European circles to seek any
loan from the United States Govern
ment, and statements to that effect
which have lately, been published in
the press of this country are untrue.
"The truth is that European finan-
ciers realize that something must be
done at once to meet the deplorable
situation arising throughout the
world as result of the; war. The
European countries have lHtle or no
money left with which TO purchase
food and raw materials. OF course.
l am referring to certain, countries
on the continent: not to Great Britain
which can get the materials she needs
from her dependencies"
Sir George had previously been
quoted as saying that he was here
to secure a loan the size of which
would "stagger the world"

Justice Gould adjourned trial of The

Attorney O'Shea declared that tho

President Ham Declares Relief
Granted by Commission A.
ready Found Inadequate

The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company Is considering petition
ing the Public Utilities Commission
for a higher fare. William f. Ham,
president of the company. said today.
1t is probable a straight 7-csut fars
will be asked, ending the sale OF
tickets.
"For several weeks we have been
considering asking higher revenue"
said Mr.. Ham. I'VE will probably
definitely decide after figures for
December have been compiled. II
can clearly be seen by the figures
that the earnings of the company fall
far below that amount the Utilities
Commission estimated we would re-
ceive from the present rates Of the
fare"
Increased Receipts.
Mr.. Ham said that since November
T.. the date the new fare became ef-
fective. and up 10 aud including De-
nes,ber 81, the compapy's avefase
daily gross revenue was S1LoSI, com
pared with daily average in octo.
Der, with the old fare rate, of Sl2.lS5.
These figures show that the new fare
rate gave the company daily aver
age increase in revenue of $1,3o1.
This Is more than 10 per cent increase
in revenue.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Ham
that IL the present earnings continued
to be the same daily, the company
would realize S4T5,O00 additional reve-
nue. within year. The Utilities
Commission estimated we would re-
ceive $3.50. 900 year extra. but fig-
ures Indicate we will fall far below
that amount by S425,00 said Mr..
Ham.
"Since the new fare became effec'
tive per cent of our passengers
have been paying the Z cents" said
Mr.. Ham. while 93 per cent pur-
chased tickets. which really meant
the fare is only 6A cents. Receipts
from intercompany cents transfers
