|CRANDALL HINTS
THEATER FAULTY
One of Owners of Knicker-
booker Expresses Fear That
Roof Was Too Heavy.

Belief that there was something
wrong with the structure of the
knickerbockep Theater. which caused
the roof to collapse. was expressed by
Harry Crandall, one of the owners of
that theater, in a talk with news
paper men this afternoon.
Mr.. Crandall. while not saying so
directly, intimated strongly and re-
peatedly his own fear that the con-
crete roof was too heavy.
Mr.. Crandall emphatically stated
that there is no desire on his part to
shirk responsibility. and that if 1t is
shown that he was in any way re-
sponsible he wants to be punished
He emphasized. however, that in get.
ting his license to operate the thea
ter. all responsibility toward the
strength and safety OF the theater
rested with the District authorities
who inspected the building and is
sued his license.
Mr.. Crandall is having an inde-
pendent investigation made by en-
gineers to determine. if possible. the
cause of the roof collapsing. He de-
MED absolutely that he had any
knowledge of. or that it had ever
been brought to his attention in any
way. that there was any weakness in
the roof or in the construction of
any part of the Knickerbocker
Theater.

AUTHORIZED TODAY

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day granted the Washington Railway
and Electric Company permission to
operate a motor bus line from Mount
Pleasant street and Park road to
Georgia avenue, 18th street and Mount
Pleasant car lines.
Eastbound, the route will be as fol-
lows: From Mount Pleasant street.
18th street and Park road, north on
18th street to Monroe street; on Mon
roe street to New Hampshire avenue:
on New Hampshire avenue to Newton
street; Newton street to Georgia ave-
nue., and on Georgia avenue to Park
road.
Westbound-From Georgia avenue
and Park road, west on Park road to
Mount Pleasant on 18th street.
Deemed Ms Experiment.
The commission states that the
operation Of this line shall be deemed
an experiment. and the right is re-
served to require its permanent oper-
alton or to authorize it's discontinu-
ance, as may appear to be in the best
interests OF the pubic.
The rate of fare on the busses shall
be cents cash or five tokens for 35
cents. which token shall be good on
any street railway line. The request
of the company for a 2-cent charge
for transfers to north and south
street railway lines is granted. with
the provision that where a second
transfer is required it shall be issued
without charge. The. company is di-
fn y11oinf q in Sva- mi N o
schedule during the morning and
evening rush hours and a ten minute
headway during the other hours of
the day.
The commission states in the order
that it has no doubt Of its power to
authorize the street railway COM
pany to engage in the bus busine IS.
Denies Extension.
Referring to the requests which
were made for an extension of the
line east of Georgia avenue to the
Soldiers Home, and to North Capitol
street, the commissio states, that un-
til the experiment proves successful,
it regards such extension inadvisable.
The commission expresses the be-
lief that the two-cent charge for
transfers is warranted under the
circumstances.
The operation of the connecting
motor bus line is experimental and
may prove so Improbable that its
continuance will become a burden
upon the street car patrons of the
company" said the commission in
explaining the charge for the first
transfer.
The order will take effect as soon
as the company. obtains the buses
to begin service. -

How much is artistic "atmos-
phere" worth?
Called on to answer this per-
picking question, the District rent
commission today decided that its
value was considerably less than
the appraisal set by a number OF
we'll known local artists-less. in
fact, by an amount representing
the difference between $2,2S0 a
year. the rent demanded for a
studio and dwelling at 1882 v
street northwest, and $500. the
rent adjudged reasonable in the
prosaic opinion of the law.
The case was brought to the at
tention of the commission by Ida

planned that the yearly rental she
was compelled to pay for the stu
dio and house, including furniture
and furnishings, was excessive.
