Herbert Shelly Weston. colored,
charged with the murder of Police
man o. a. Mckimmie, OF the Second
precinct today is at the District Jail
awaiting action of the grand jury
following an inquest held at the Dis
trict Morgue yesterday.
After hearing the testimony of sew
eral witnesses, the corners jury re-
turned a verdict that the policeman
came to his death from a gunshot
wound of the heart and shock caused
by being shot with a pistol in the
hands of Weston.
Detective f. J. Kelly, who, with
Detective Arthur Scrivcner, arrested
Weston Wednesday, was the first wit
ness. He told the jury how Weston
had been questioned for several hours
and of the admissions the negro is
alleged to have made.
Other witnesses were Mrs Gette
Solet. of 1916 Tenth street, who dis
covered a burglar in her home, and
whose screams for help attracted
Policeman McKimmie, and Mrs. Ada
B. Woodson, of 1880 Tenth street, who
saw the fash of two shots from the

doorway. Ellis Solet, Mrs. Nellie

Take Action.

The initial step toward merging
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company and the Capital Traction
Company will be taken by citizens
OF the District when the public utili-
ties committee of thirty-flve citizens
associations meet In the board room
of the District Building at o'clock
tonight TO discuss several plans for
consolidation of the two street rail-
way companies.
In order that these committees shall
receiv first hand information from
the men directly concerned In a mer-
ger, presidents of the two railway
companies and the chairman OF the
Public Utilities Commission. William
Mex. Clayton has invited these men
to speak. The invitations have been
accepted by William Y. Ham, presi-
dent, Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company; George Il. Hamilton.
president, Capital Traction Company,
and Engineer Commissioner Charles
W. Kutz.
Congressman Milton A Romjue, of
Missouri author OF a merger bill. will
also be ono OF the principal speakers.
He will explain his merger bill. and
will point out the difference between
this bill and the one which the Dis
trict Commissioners formulated.
Tho bill of the Federation of Cit
liens Association will be the main
topic under discussion. The thirty
five committees probably will vote to
indorse either their own bill. tho
commissioners bill, or Congressman
Romjue's bill.
Never before has such a meeting
been held in the district. ID. c. men
say. The outcome of tonight's dis
cussion is problematical. 1t may re-
suit in the announcement by both
companies that they are ready and
willing for a merger when the Com
missioner's bill becomes law. and II
may result in just the opposite. What
ever statements these traction Off
cials make are awaited with interest

WEATHER MAN PREDICTS
MORE SLIPPERY STREETS
Can't See Any Clearer Days in Sight
Right Away, Says
FOrecaster.

Those whose feet were beRuiled by
the young glaciers in Washington >
streets today invariably landed with a
splash. The Weather Bureau takes a
gloomy outlook and says that we can't
expect anything better for the next
few days at least.
II can't see any warmer weather or
even any clear weather for several
days" reported the forecaster today.
This evening and tonight IT will be
colder and we will have rain or snow.
1t will probably snow tomorrow, but
this probably will melt as fast as 1t
falls and may freeze later"
Hot water. hatchets and wrath
made very little impression on the
ice, those who tried to clean off their
walks found late yesterday and the
majority resorted to ashes. A maley-
olent rain washed most of these ashes
off last night and this morning, leav-
ing slippery spots for the unwary.
A pool of water was always handy for
those who couldn't retain the pcrpe n
dicular.
The street Cleaning Department
has had TO devote its entire attention
to the downtown districts and only
the main streets arc in safe condition
for vehicles and pedestrians.
Street car schedules more nearly
approached the normal this morning
and fewer Government employees were
late today than yesterday. according
to reports from the various depart.

CHAIN BRIDGE
CALLED UNFIT
Fails TO Meet Modern Traffic
Needs, D. C. Heads Tell
Congress.

The Chain Bridge. located on the
Potomac river about three miles
above Georgetown. fails 70 meet the
needs of modern highway trafnc. the
District Commissioners told Congress
today. In a report on the bill OF Con
gressmsn Moore, OF Virginia. which
provides for an investig alton and re
port upon the condition of the bridge.
The Commissioners report, In part,
follows:
"Chain Bridge CROSSES the Potomac
river about three miles above George
town. and connects Canal road In the
District with the Leesburg turnpike
In Virginia
"rhe bridge was built In 1874. and
consists OF six spans 172 feet each
and two spans 100 feet each. At the
present time II will carry with safety
a distributed load OF rs pounds per
square foot. or a concentrated vehicu-
lar load of ak tons with a 7-Ila
wheel base, 5-foot gauge, or a con
centrsted load or eight tons with
l5- foot wheel base, b-foot gauge.
These permissible losdinge are
very much less than the weight OF
the loaded vehicles now in common
use In this vicinity. so that the pres
ent bridge fails to meet the needs or
modern highway traffic, and II serves
as an obstacle TO retard the develop
ment OF commercial relations between
the District and that part OF Vir-
ginia."

Business Describes Effective
Publicity to RotarianS.

building OF the Berberich shoe busi-
ness with the aid OF advertising.

tising. closing with the story OF what
part advertising had played to bring
about the big business OF the Ber-
berich stores OF today.
Human interest and timeliness in
the appeal OF the copy were empha-
sized. Also the value of ADVERTISE
ments coupled with movements for
the public good. such as Liberty
Bond and War Savings Stamp adver-
tisemcnts.
As evidence Of the fact that the
fame OF Berberich advertising had
spread to the entire country, letters
from newspaper publishers were read,
telling how they were sending sam
pies of Berberich advertisements TO
the heads of their papers as examples
concerning the success of
certain advertisements.
The well-known success OF the Ber-
berich stores advertising and the
known ability of the speaker to Sc
cure results from advertising added
emphasis to his message TO fellow
Rotarians, and he was frequently in
terrupted with applause as he drove
home appropriate points.
Visiting Rotarians were in attend
ance from points as far south as New
Orleans, and the middle West was
well represented.

passed another milestone, President
Roland S. Robbins, who presided at
the lupcheoR- was presented with a
large birthday cake, including among
it's elaborate decorations the custom

sented birthdays.

COUNTRY WELL PREPARED
NOW TO BATTLE FLU

Public Health Service officials said
the country now is better prepared to
fight the epidemic than in 1918 and
1917 because all doctors and nurses
have returned from abroad. During
tho epidemics of the war years the
scarcity of doctors and nurses was
the biggest factor in the spread Of
tho disease.
Surgeon General Blue said:
The Public Health Service, through
tho state authorities, is in constant
telegraphic touch with the situation
in the entire country. our reports in
dicate that nowhere has the preva-
lcnce of the disease exceeded the
abilities of the local and State health
authorities to deal with the situation.

The local authorities are taking
all precautions indicated by our pres
