W.R. {. MAY CURTA|L
MARYLAND SERVICE
President Ham Testifles Lines
Must Yield 6 Per Cent Re-
turn or Be Cut.

Service on the lines OF the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
running into the State OF Maryland
will be greatly curtailed unless the
Public Utilities Commission sees nj 10
grant a rate OF fare In the District
that will yield for the railway COM
many a return of at least per cent
on its valuation. William +. ham,
president OF the company toia the
Commission ut a hearing In the Dis
trict building today.
such a rate OF fare would be cents
straight, or zone fare, 7 cents hrst
zone, cents second zone.
President Ham declared that inc
lines In Maryland were not set-sus-
tanning, and that the present ehsr-
acter OF service would not continue
N the commit ssion declined TO provide
the q per cent return. He intimated
very strongly that there was pos.
sibility OF these lines being dropped
from the main system OF his COM
pany.
To Curtaii Service.
"The Maryland lines are not self
supporting" declared Mr.. Ham. They
don't pay operating expenses. TINS
condition cannot continue. There Is
no incentive, with the present low
rate of return, to hold these lines as
a part OF this company. Unless we
get relief we will be forced to great
ly curtail service.
At this point in the hearing CHAIR
man Charles w. Kutz, OF the commits
sion, inquired whether OF not the COM
pany was enjoying profits from the
sale of electric power in these sec
tions. Mr.. Ham admitted this and a
discussion on this phase OF the SUP
ject continued for several minutes.
Mr.. Ham declared the proht was only
a book profit" and not one where
| the money could be easily obtained
for any use the company desired.
Losses In Maryland.
Mr.. Ham asked the commission to
take into consideration, when discuss
ing the higher fare, the losses sus-
tained annually by the company be-
cause 1t continues TO retain these
Maryland lines for the beneht OF the
car riders living in that section.

him whether he had come on the

To this DIR. Van Schaick replled as
follows, according to Galliher;

To this Galliher stated that he re-
piled that "the Supreme Court Jus
tices may refuse TO reappoint me. but
they have not the right to terminate
my existing appointment"
II was a month later when Van
Schaick told Galliher that he had de-
cided not to report the interview TO
the justices.
Galliher stated that, in his opinion,
Thurston had made an excellent su-
perintendent. He said:
"If left undisturbed. Mr.. Thurston
would MI all the requirements or his
place to the satisfaction of the people
of Washington. II Van Schaick would
Just take his hands off and let Thurs =
ton have the right of way, all THIS
trouble would not be necessary.
"yan Schaick has established his
office in the Franklin School Build
| ing and while there, according TO
what 1 have heard. has transacted
business that belongs to the superin-
| tendent."
| Voted for Himself.
Mr.. Galliher stated that within an
hour after Van Schaick took his seat
on the Board OF Education, he was
elected it's president.
| "when I saw that Van Schaick
had voted for himself, was sur
prised," he said. 81 voted for Ern-
est II. Daniel, who had been on the
board for several years and had

declared that there were more riders
on suburban lines OF the Capital Trac-
tion Company, when figuring the
average number OF people riding In a
mile on each company, than on the
Washington Railway and Electric
lines.
"The Capital Traction Company has
the densest traffic OF any street rail-
way company in the United States"
said President Ham.
Fare collection boxes will be in
stalled on most OF the cars OF the
Washington Railway ana Electric
Company by the first OF next month.
President Ham told the Commission.
William Mcclayton and George A.
Ward, Federation OF Citizens Asso-
citation. together with Jeremiah Con-
nelly. cross-examined Mr.. Ham at
length. They discussed the effect an
increase in electric light rates would

III. w. Lynn. representing the Broth

He said that even II the brother
hood men did not get a raise they
would not strike. but would continue
to work, dissatisfied with conditions,
however. Mr.. Lynn intimated that
strike might result In continued re-
fusal OF the company to give higher
wages The strikers would be the
new and young employees OF the COM
pany, he declared.
Mr.. Lynn made a good witness for
the company. although he was present
as a representative OF the employees.
Mr.. Ham stated. during Mr.. Lynns
speech, that Mr.. Lynn was not speak
ing for the management OF the COM
pany.
The zone system was again at
tackled by citizens. Representatives
of Catholic University again opposed
such a method of fare collection.
