GEDDES BACK ON DUTY,
READY TO CONFER WITH
new ADMINISTRATION
UNIVERSITY.

Sir Auckland Geddes. the British
ambassador, was back in Wash
ington today. after personal con-
ferences with foreign Office Of
ficials in London, prepared to take
up with the new administration
pending questions between this
country and Great Britain.
The ambassador was summoned
to London by Premier Lloyd
George last month, and among
important diplomatic subjects
known to have been discussed
were far eastern affairs. the oil
question, disposition of the for
mer German cables, including the
situation at the Japanese-con-
trolled Island Of Yap, and the
funding of the British debt, to
the United States.
Since it will be only a little
more than a week before the pres
ent administration goes out, it
was assumed that the ambassador
would not initiate any formal con-
versations with State Department
officials until after the Inaugural
tion of President-elect Harding.
Ge will be, however, in a position
to present d the new officials the
views of his government, as based
upon his personal conferences
with Premier Lloyd George and
foreign office officials.

cARMERGERSA|D
! TO BE UNLAWFUL
w. r. Ham Tells City Club
w. R. &c. Fav0rs Union
!! With Capital Traction.

Pointing out that a merger of
washington's street railway COM
panies is now prohibited by law. Will
liam F. Ham, president Of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany. in an address delivered at the
midweekly luncheon Of the City Club
this afternoon. declared that the
traction concerns will be powerless to
act until this prohibition Is removed
Mr.. Ham referred to the La Toilette
law, which prevents a corporation
from owning more than 20 per cent
of the stock of another corporation.
as the principal obstacle in the way
of a merger. He also said a consoli-
dation could not be effected without
regard for the rights Of the stock
holders. who are the owners of the
companies.
Attention was called by the trac-
tion company head to the fact that
he had recommended merger to
Congress Is early as 1914.
Some people seem to have the i'm
preston that it is the fault of the
companies a merger has not taken
place" he said. We may become i'm
patient in bringing about this desired
condition. but We should not become
bolshevistic. 1t should be accom-
plished through orderly processes"
He went into the details Of the present
operating problems of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, and pre-
scented data to show that Improvement
has taken place. That the service is
now more regular and satisfactory, Mr..
Ham said. is shown by the record of
car detentionS. In 1919 the percentage
for detentions was SO per 100000 car
miles. At present. this percentage has
been reduced to % per 100000 car miles.
According to Mr. Ham. travel over the
company's lines has been made safer.
Statistics quoted by him showed 4.37
passengers injured per 1,00O. 600 passen-
gers carried, which. he said, was prac-
tically the same showing made by the
Capital Traction Company.
The great problem of operation. he
continued, is the handling of passen-
gers during the rush hours. On the
Connecticut avenue line. he stated. a
recent count showed LAO passengers
hauled between and $40 am and
1878 between $40 and 9. In the next
half hour the number dropped to 21o.
Mr.. Ham said most public utility
commissions throughout the country
have established an 8 per cent rate
of return as fair and equitable. and
that if the local commission insists
on maintaining a per cent rate of
return little capital will be attracted
TO tire securities of Washington utlI-
tty corporations and it will be dim
cult to obtain money for improve
ments.
