ARMY BILL LIKELY
TO CARRY CONDUIT
Senators Favor Early Action
to Safeguard Washing
ton Water Supply.

Members Of the Senate military af-
ed yesterday by advocates of water
legislation for the District at this
session. gave assurances of their in
terest in the matter, which led to
the belief last night the Army bill
will be reported out with a pro-
vision authorizing construction of a
new conduit from Great Falls.
Representative Frederick n Zihl-
man of Maryland, saw Senator Wads-
worth, chairman. and Senator suther-
f3RAdas smember of the committee, and
ahat there is decided SEN
dme1 the committee for the earli
est action possible to safeguard
Washington against breakdown of
it's water supply.
A letter from the Secretary of War
urging inclusion of conduit item
in the Army bill was sent to the
committee yesterday and probably
morrow.
The secretary's action in calling the
Senate's attention to the seriousness
of the local water situation in a spe-
cial communication will go far. it is
believed. in influencing favorable ac-
tion at this session.
If the committee reports out the
requested conduit provision it is be-
lieved there will be little doubt of
the Senate's favorable action. Should
the item receive the approval of the
conferees on the Army bill it's adop-
tion by the House would be likely.
The District Commissioners are
watching closely the efforts TO obtain
Congress sanction for the building
OF new conduit. They regard the
matter as of such Importance to the
District that they included a separate
estimate for conduit in the de-
ficiency budget they submitted to
Congress recently. This was done to
impress doubly Congress with the
danger of delaying action to replace
the present obsolete water line, which
is under a strain, believed to be close
to the breaking point.

BERLIN, May 14-During the

apparently had no perils greater
than those of what is now termed
peace" President Wilson insist
ed upon distinguishing always be-
tween the German people and the
imperial German government. Mr..
Wilson's persistence in making
that distinction eventually drove
the Hohenzollerns from power in
the great German empire.
That distinction, let me say. is
even more real today. perhaps.

OYSTER HAS PLAN
FOR 7-CENT FARES
Will Propose Union of Power
Company and W. R. & E. Co.
if Traction Merger Fails.
10 CENTS AS LIGHT RATE
Commissioner Believes Public
Would Accept Increase if
Car Fare Is Lowered.

Street railway merger negotiations,
it was indicated last night, may take
an abrupt tack this week to effect a
reduction in car fares without an
actual consolidation of the traction
properties.
If the meetings between representa-
tives OF the .car companies and the
public utilities commission fail to
produce a merger agreement by Tues.
day. a compromise proposition con-
templating the establishment of the
electric light rate a. 10 cents and
7-cent car fares will be put forward
This suggestion was made by Com
missioner Oyster at the time the util-
tiles commission established the
present street car rate. 1t is certain
to be advanced again by the Commits
sioner if there is no prospect of a
merger.
Many Advantages Seen.
Many advantages are claimed for
the plan. II is asserted that under
a 10-Cent electric light rate, the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company and
the Washington Railway and Eletcric
Company would. IL permitted to con-
solidate, earn a sufficient amount to
pay per cent return on their in
vestment and operate the traction
lines on a I-cent fare.
Commissioner Oyster believes that
with declining prices of labor and
materials, il would be possible. under
this plan. to get the price of car rides
down to four tokens for quarter
within a few months.
Washingtonians are now paying
1c cents kilowatt hour for the
electricity they use. though the rate
established by the commission is SIz
cents. The company, which has ap-
pealed the commissions order, is i'm
pounding / y cents of every 10 cents
collected. which will be returned to
it's customers if the courts decision
goes against the company. The
amount thus far impounded totals
more than million dollars.
Light Rate to Help Railway.
1t is Commissioner Oysters belief
if the Potomac Company were per-
mitted to charge 10 cents per kilowatt
hour for electricity sold in the Dis
trict it would earn an amount sufti-
cient not only for it's own needs, but
for carrying the railway company,
over lean periods. Investigations he
has made show that a 10-cent electric
rate would compare favorabIy with
charges made for this character of
service in other cities.
Another reason for the Commission
er's leaning toward this plan is that
he is convinced merger of the
Washington Railway and Electric and
Capital Traction companies would not
of itself make possible a considerable
reduction in car fare. Suggestions
that have been advanced that a
merger would mean a scent car fare
are not taken seriously by Mr.. Oys-
ter. He appreciates that a merger
