BUS line CONTROL
BRINGS CLASH AT
PUBLIC HEARING
WIRE. and Capital Trac-
tion Firms Ask to Run
Proposed Route.

With busses admittedly a perma-
ncnt part of the Districts trans
portation system, the street rail-
way companies and the bus COM
panies yesterday met in an open
clash as to which should control
this form of transportation.
The conflict occurred at a public
hearing granted the Washington
Railway and Electric Company by
the Public Utilities Commission on
an application to run bus line
from Columbia road and Connecti-
cut avenue to Wisconsin avenue
and Woodley road. via Connecticut
avenue and Woodley rad.
Ham Asks Control
When william p. Ham. president
of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company. took the stand.
he announced that the Capital Trac-
tion Company was ready to COOP
crate in running the proposed bus
line. Both lines would allow their
passengers to transfer to the busses.
Ham also suggested the route
be revised to run out Connecticut
avenue to Woodley road, to Twen-
ty-seventh street. back to Wood
ley road. to Thirty fifth street, to
Newark street, to Wisconsin ave-
nue., to Macomb street, to Thirty
fifth street again.
Syme Fights Proposal.
Conrad Fl. Syme. representing the
Washington Rapid Transit Com
pany. challenged the right of the
Commission to grant the street rail-
way companies right to run busses
under their charters. He declared
sooner or later this issue would
be bound to come before the courts.
George r. Hamilton. president OF
the Capital Traction Company, ap-
reared to support the argument by
Ham that the two companies were
ready to operate the busses Jointly
and sustain the losses mutually.
Others who appeared at the hear
ing were s B. Marshall. represent
ing the Cathedral Heights Citizens
Association: Charles J. Bell. the
Rev g. c. r. Bratenahl. and Will
lam T.. KilIeen. vice president and
general manager of the company.

Germany Feels
Wealthy Noting
Russian Exchange

RERLIN, May 6.-Germany has
discovered a new way she
may feel herself rich-for at least
a few moments. That is when she
reads the February report issued
by the Russian State Bank in
which the official rate OF exchange
is quoted as follows:
l pound sterling 2,500,0o rubles
I dollar. 100000 rublcs
l German mark .... 1900 rubles
1O-rble gold piece 2.70O,00 rubles
There is also a crumb of com
fort to German housewives, dis
mayed by the thought OF paying
five marks for an egg and fifty
marks for a pound OF butter. when
they read their sisters in Russia
are paying 226,OO0 rubles for a
pound OF sugar. $4,000 rubies for
a pound OF coffee. 2s7 900 rubles
for a pound OF Russian butter
(melted). and 10000 rubles for
pound OF salt, while beef, which
is moro than likely 20 be horse
meat, sells for $4,000 rubles a
