. To BEAT WOODS
STREET CAR BILL
Moves g Strike Out Enacting
Clause in Measure Propos-
ing Merger of Lines.

A move to defeat the Woods railway
bill. which authorizes a merger of the
railway and electric companies of
washine eton, was made in the House
today by Congressman Blanton OF
Texas, who is leading me opposition
to the act. LF ~
Congressman Woods declared today
that passage OF the bill would mean
four tickets for 20 cents for District
RIDERS, and would save the taxpayers
not less than S1,500,000.
The motion of Blanton is to a.rike
out the enacting clause of the meas
ure, which will kill the bill. A general
debate followed the motion and a vote
will be taken this afternoon. Ii Is ex-
pected 1t will be defeated.
General debate on the bill was
closed when the House met today,
and the discussion is now proceed
ing under a five-minute rule, A
vote on the measure probably will
be taken before adjournment this
afternoon.
Considerable changes in the text
and the addition OF several amend
ments to the bill will be made be-
fore a vote is taken. Sentiment in
the House appears to favor the
passage of the bill.
The tax features OF the bill still
continue to cause the most opposi-
ton to the act. Blanton and several
other members declare that passage
of the measure will not result In
lower fares or a consolidation.

There is no crime wave in Wash

today by Major Harry L. Gessford
superintendent Of police, when In,
formed that Congressman Fitzgerald
had offered a resolution asking for an
investigation of the police department
I'VE have the usual run OF small
larcenies in Washington which are
customary at this time, but there Is nc
crime wave as far as ! can learn,
said Major Gessford.
Our business is to capture law
breakers and we are having a great
deal OF success at II. We cannot
prevent all the crime that is com
mitted In the city: no police depart
ment can do that; but we can and are
capturing those who break the law.

ported that a citizens association has
offered a reward of 500 for the ap-
prehension OF a lawbreaker. We are
glad to have any one person or group
Of persons help us out"
Major Gessford said his only infor.
nation OF crime In other cities was
received from reading the newspapers,
and he said that there was as much,
X not more crimes In other cities than
