effort aiming at Improvement" the
report states Some slight increase
m the building of high-grade apart
ments and hotels is noted.
In Virginia, founorIes show in

Woods Merger Bill to
Be Favorab!y Reported
In House by Next Week

The Woods bill to reduce the gross
receipts tax of the street railways
OF Washington and which promises
to bring about an immediate reduc-
ton in fares to at least cents
straight. will probably be reported
favorably to the House next week by
the House District Committee.
Although a vigorous fight is being
made in the committee to report out
the Keller government ownership
bill. IL appears that this bill has gone
down to defeat. -~e House commit
tee has set aside consideration OF the
bill, and is now sevoting it's entire
attention to the Woods bill
Members OF the committee opposing
the Woods bill, 1t is understood. will
make an effort next week to sub
stitute the Hammer bill, which pro-
vides a maximum fare of cents for
the District
The Woods bill authorizes a mer-
ger of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, Capital Traction
Company and the Potomac Electric
Power Company. 1t reduces the per
cent tax on gross receipts to 2 per
cent and imposes a 80 per cent tax
on all earnings of the railway com
panies above a per cent profit.
The most important feature of Con-
gresham WOODS Dill is clause which
empowers the Public Utilities Com
mission to regulate expenditures Of
the traction companies. The clause
would give the commission power to
reduce salaries of employees and off,
oiaIs and to pass Judgment on all other
expenditures. The bill also gives the
commission authority to regulate bond
issues. TO prevent the floating of
watered stock.
Salaries of crossing policemen,
which now cost the railway companies
800 900 year, under this bill would
be paid by the District of Columbia.

against the estate of Col. o. G. Staples,
former hotel man and banker OF
Washinsto ton. instituted by Orren s.

morrow. John w. Chiidress, one OF
the executors OF the estate, who has
an office at 1892 X street, today stat
ed that young De Witt, who Is n
world war veteran. hal compromised
the suit for approximately sIl, 900. II
is expected that the agreement will
be ratified tomorrow by the courts
of Syracuse, N. Y.
De witt, who is twenty-six years
old. filed suit against the estate after
he returned from France, claiming
that he had been damaged through
the leasing of a hotel In Alexandria
bay owned by Colonel Staples, who
mad appointed him manager. to the
extent of 100000.
According TO Mr.. Childress, Dewitt
accepted as a compromise SIS, 900 from
the leasee OF the hotel, and is to re-
ceive pa per cent of the rental for
the hotel for the next three years
which. II is estimated. will amount
to $4,000.

DEMAND N
CAR RATES
Hams Road Anticipates Pos
sible Order by Board to Cut
Price of Tokens"

The Washington Railway and
Electric Company at the hearing
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion next Thursday will ask that
the zone system be ordered. This
was the statement issued today by
officials of the company. The zone
system, however, will be asked only
if the Public Utilities Commission
decides to reduce the fares on both
street car systems of the District,
or the fare on the Capital Traction
cars only.
ZONE, SCHEME NO SURPRISE.
Intimation that the company would
make this request was given short
time ago when William NICK. Clayton,
chairman of the public utilities com
mittee of the Federated Citizens As
ISOLATION, drew from President Ham,
of the Washington Railway and Eiec-
trio Company the admission that
this scheme would be requested IL any
change was made in the rate of fare In
Washington.
Prof. A. S. Richie, of Worcester.
Mass, a traffic expert, who testified
on the coming system before the COM
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, arrived in Washington to-
day to prepare a statement which he
will make before the commission
In behalf of the company.
WANTS BIGGER SUBURBAN FARE.
II is understood that the street
car company will ask the commission
that where the two lines compete
the rates of. fare be made the same
but when the lines of the w. X. g.
T. Co. extend out into the suburbs
that il be allowed an increase" rate
to compensate for the long haul
"we must either get the full bene-
fit OF the electric rates or coming
system, If the rate of fare in the Dis
trict is reduced" Secretary Bowen
of the,company said today. II the
Capital Traction is given a lower rate
of fare than we are allowed, the loss
oftraffic will have to be borne by the
zone, or measured service system. The
returns now show that we are receiv-
ing much less than the fair return
on the commissions valuation. We
cannot afford to receive lower re-
turn than we are now getting.
When the coming system was sug-
gested at previous hearings IL Gre
ated a storm of protest from suburban
residents. and the Commission de-
cided against it at that time.
