ZONE EXPERT
WILL TESTIFY.
Albert S. Richey Called BY W.
R. and E. Co. to Describe
His Plan At Hearing.

Albert s. Riehey, professor of rail-
way engineering at the Worcester
Polytechnic Institute, Massachusetts.
whose plan OF zone system OF fare
collection was given serious con-
sideration by the Public Utilities
Commission recently. has been called
to Washington by the Washington
Railway and Electric Company.
A telegram was sent to Professor
Richey today by william +. Ham,
president OF the company, asking him
TO testify next week before the pub
lie hearing to consider a higher fare
and zone system. Professor Richey
IL an expert on this matter. He will
tell the results OF such a system else
where and Is expected to offer sug-
gestions regarding a solution of local
railway problems.
Experts of both the Washington
Railway and Electric Company and
Capital Traction Company are today
making counts at different points
about the city to determine the num-
Der of passengers riding on street
cars beyond certain places. 1t will
be several days before those experts
can determine the exact number Of
passengers riding in the various
zones. which have tentatively been
selected for a zone system.
The public hearing will be resumed
next Wednesday morning in the board
room of the District Building. Re-
newed opposition TO the zone system
Is expected. Counsel for both com.
panies will be prepared to tell what
they believe will be the effects of such
a system.
One Of Prof. Richey's zone plans Is
for a scent fare in first zone and a
scent fare in the second zone. This
was under consideration when the
W. r. and K. last petitioned for q
higher fare. 1t is believed that IL a
zone system is effective here the first
zone will be 7 cents and the second
zone or cents. However, neither
the commission nor the company Off =
Gals have as yet taken any stand on
the question of rates.

BOYS WITH EMPTY GUN
ROB GIRL OF POCKETBOOK

Using a revolver without any cart
ridge chambers, three negro youths
successfully held UP and robbed MISS
lillian MacElwec, of 2529 Eleventh
street northwest. of her handbag
containing $40, at 1 o'clock TINS
morning at Florida avenue ana
cleveland street northwest.
Miss MacElwec was returning TO
her home from visit at a friends
home when the youths attacked her.
one of tho highwaymen leveled re
volyer Mt her head, threatening death
~ she made al cutlery. Although

caused her terror and she handed
over her bag.
within half hour after the daring
hold-up, Lieutenant Bean, Sergeant
sullivan and Policemen Stewart, Hell
nuth and Ray, OF Eighth precinct, ar
rested Edward and william Thornton,
brothers, and Jerome Simmons, OF 412
w street northwest.

eociates had held up the girl and he
produced the pistol used in the rob-
berry. He said he needed money and
the three decided to hold up someone,
believing the revolver. although with.
out cartridge chambers, would be suf-
rcient to brighten their prospective
victim.

STEALS 80 PINTS
OF DRUG STORE
WHISKEY

Headquarters detectives today
are trying to hit the trail OF the
burglar who last night stole thir-
ty pints of Old Grand Dad whiskey
from the drug store of John NJ.
Smoot. 154S New Jersey avenue
northwest.
Entrance was gained to the
drug store by forcing a rear door.
Discovery of the robbery was
made this morning when the
druggist opened his shop.
The entire lot is valued at $40
by the druggist who dispenses
whiskey on prescriptions of
physicians who prescribe liquor
for patients.
Up to noon, the detectives had
not found the thief, but they felt
certain the burglar will take
"one too many" and be found
drunk. Then, he might confess.
The detectives, however. while
confident they will find the bur
glar, entertain doubts as to
..-,hrr ,ne whiskey will be
found intact.

vanced One Hour.

The operation OF the daylight saw
ing law. which goes into effect in New
York city at o'clock next Sunday
morning, will exert a strong influence
toward the adoption OF a similar plan
here, in the opinion OF prominent
Washington nnanciers and business
men.

certain lines OF business here, par
Germ the general public TO a consider
able extent with regard to daily news,

Washington brokers must meet the
situation by having at least some OF

clerks. report at s and $3.50 o'clock in
the morning instead OF 8 and $3.50, to
prepare for the opening OF the New
York market at 0 instead OF 10 o'clock

the only immediate effect on such
local business, in the opinion of Will

Stock Exchange is open only during
the noon hour, so will not be affected.
Banks, too, according to Chris

FIND FLAWS IN
REPORT ON PAY
Employees After Study Of Re-
classification Findings Fail
to EnthuSe.

Messed up" is the general opinion
of Government employees OF the report
of the Joint Commission of Reclassin-
cation OF Salaries, as expressed ABOUT
the departments and at a series OF
meetings which have been held DUR
ing the past week.
Such an opinion is coupled with
lack of enthusiasm for the report De-
cause of the prevalent belief that IL
will receive no favorable action by
Congress.
Favor Nolan Bill.
Only one group OF employees seem
to feel that they VIII be pehehteu'
They are those of the lower grades,

fact that the Nolan minimum wage
bill seems to have every chance 10
mass Congress rather than to the pos
, sibilities of the Redistribution COM
, missions report. There are many Oh
. these employees who would fare oetter
under the Nolan bill.
AS far as the Reconsideration com
missions report goes 1t appears tna'
the question Of salaries Is ABOUT the
one thing the employees are interested
in. Little discussion has been heard
among the workers in so far as rec

hion, working conditions, and other
) phases Of the report go.
Find Inconsistencies.
The National Federation of Federal

which has given any serious consid-
grafton to every aspect OF the com
.mission's recommendations, and this
organization has thus far discovered
,glaring Inconsistencies For example,
NJ has discovered cases where lower

duties; where the evidently low sara
ries have been cut; where lower posi-
\ tions have been rated ahead OF tne
higher ones. and other polnts u
(which objection has been voiced
The union is Of the hope that many
of the "errors" found thus far Will
later develop to be Typographical
errors since the printing OF the report
was a hurry job. 1t is further hoped
that it will develop that some nave
been unintentional mistakes on the
mart of the commissioners.
THE restoration of the $40 bonus
and the possibility or IL oeins enae.eo
into law has done much to XIII IN
terest in the Redistribution commis-
sioncrs' report, since their salary
recommendations are just about 8 per
cent higher than the bonus, and In
many instances they are very much
lower. So that the average employe
feels that he will be as well taken
care of by the bonus as he would be
otherwise.
