ROW IN WILSON'S
CABINET RECALLED
Supreme Court Airing Case
Involving Arkansas River
Land Title.

Differences that arose between
members of the Wilson cabinet in
1915 were aired in the Supreme
Court yesterday during the argument
of a case involving title to land in
the bed of the Arkansas river. near
the mouth of the Grande river
The case is being prosecuted by the
state of Oklahoma. Counsel for the
government asserted that the records
showed secretary Garrison of the
operate with Attorney General
Gregory in an effort to prove the
Arkansas river above the Grande had
never been navigable, and that Presi-
dent Wilson himself had undertaken
to straighten out the trouble between
the cabinet officers, but apparently
without success.
Attitude OF Garrison.
1t was the contention of Secretary
Garrison that the river had been held
navigabl in acts of Congress relating
to the river Improvement, and he de-
cltned to join in an effort to prove
otherwise. A letter from President
Wilson. addressed to Secretary Gar
rison, dated August %. 1915, was read
to the court. 1t follows:
The government, as you know, has
an extremely important suit pending
for the protection of the oil rights Of
the Osage Indians under the bed of
the Arkansas river, and the Attorney
General has brought to my attention
his recent correspondence with the
Department of War in which the de-
partment declines to assist the gov
ernment by enabling it to test the
question as to whether the portion
of the river affected by the litigation
is navigable or not.
Points to "SeriOus Mistake"
II note that the department is will
ing to put its files at the disposal of
the Department of Justice in the liti-
cation, but that it takes the position
that it will adhere to its decision of
an earlier year that the Arkansas is
navagible at the point in question
without giving the reasons which
lead to that conclusion.
personally. 1 think that this is a
serious mistake. ] feel very much
distressed if there should be any lack
of cooperation between the execu-
tive departments of the government
in matters which affect it's functions
in any department., and 1 am sure
that it is not in that spirit that the
position of the War Department has
been taken. I. therefore. feel the
more free to request that this whole
matter he reconsidered and that the
Department of War lend the utmost
assistance to the Department of Jus
tice in this extremely important
case"

Continuing the campaign against

ton shall cooperate with other or
ganization ITO eliminate or dis
tribute the one-man car over the city

pointed out that since the company
claims the one-man car has certain
advantages over the woman type of

other sections of the city to receive
it's benefits.

MRS. TAYLOR HITS
BALL ACT EVASION
Declares Some Places Held
Vacant, Others Rented With
Secret Bonus Provision.

Evidence that some landlords, dis
by the District Rent Commission, are
Withholding their houses and apart
ments from prospective tenants has
reached the commission. Severe con-
demnation of such a procedure was
voiced today by Mrs. Clara Sears Tay-
lor. one Of the commissioners.
ANY property owner who deliber-
ately holds his vacant house or apart
ment in cold storage rather than
rent 1t to tenants at the rate fixed
as reasonable by the commission
should be put behind the bars" de-
clared Mrs. Taylor.
Some Cases Reported.
Such a practice is particularly
reprehensible at this time, when ten
ants are confronted with q housing
shortage that keeps them from find
ing places to live in at fair prices
/ have heard that a number of apart
ments are being kept purposely va
cant by their owners, are disgruntled
with the rent reductions made by
the commission. l am glad to say
that l have only heard of few cases
Of this kind
The Ball act apparently has no pro-
visions whereby the commission can
force an owner to- rent his property
to tenant, consequently. the rent
commission is unable to take any
steps against these landlords. it was
pointed out. The owner would be
in danger of prosecution If he at
tempted to rent his property at a
higher consideration than that fixed
right by the commission. and a ten
ant who consented to pay more than
the commission had set would be
violating the law, Mrs. Taylor ex-
planned.
Bonus Plan Used.
Several schemes to get around the
law have come to the attention OF
officials, Mrs. Taylor said. One Is a
bonus plan. in which the tenant
agrees to pay the f1Xed rent. and. in
addition, an extra amount monthly.
of which nothing is said in the rental
contract. Such a system is an in
fraction Of the law, Mrs. Taylor be-
lieveS.

UTILITIES BOARD
REFUSES BUS LINE
Extension From Buchanan
Street Via Alaska Avenue
to District Line Denied.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day rejected the proposed extension of
the 10th street motor bus route from
buchanan street to the District line
at Alaska and Georgia avenues.
The addition Of this area to the
bus route was asked for by the Six
teenth Street Heights Citizens Asso-
citation, which contended that the res
identS of that new suburb needed bet
ter transportation facilities.
View of the Commission.
In it's verdict the commission said:
an nnimproved section. with stretches
of Rock creek Park and the grounds
of the Walter Reed Hospital border
Ing it on either side. North of Wal
ter Reed Hospital is a growing sec
ton. already served by the Georgia
way and Electric Company. while the
section lying between Buchanan
street and Kennedy street is now ade-
Quateiy served by the 18th street line
of the Capital Traction Company.
This extension. if granted. would
add to the competition already exist
ing between these street railway
lines and the 10th street line of the
Washington Rapid Transit Company,
without enabling the latter to secure
sufficient patronage to make the oper-
alton of the extension prove COM
pensatory, for the present at least. as
stated at the public hearing by the
representatives of the Washington
Rapid Transit Company.
THE commission has given this
matter very careful consideration, but
Is of the opinion that the circum-
stances of the case do not justify it
in authorizing the extension"
Another Petition Turned Down.
The commission also denied q Pc
tition of the Mid-City Citizens Asso-
citation to change from the east to the
west side of l4th street the stopping
point for east-bound U street cars of
the Capital Traction Company
The commission stated. however
that the company would be asked to
stop west-bound 7th street Chevy
Chase cars on the east side of 18th at
Z street.
