CALLS SON UTILITIES
BOARD TO RESIGN
Senator Mcclellan AssaiIs
Failure to Cut Car Fare
to 5 Cents.
REFERS TO OLD CONTRACT.
Demands Senate District Committee
Bring in Legislation for
Desired Purpose.
REFERS TO OLD CONTRACT

The Public Utilities Commission was
again assailed in the Senate yesterday
afternoon by Senator McKellar of Ten
nessee because It has not reduced
street car fares in Washington
Senator McKellaf urged the Sem
ate District committee to bring in
legislation before March looking to
return to the five-cent fare provid-
cd for in the old franchises of the
street railway company.
IF no such legislation is adopted
by this Congress, Senator McKellar
said, he intended to advocate it when
the new Congress meets. He pointed
out that exclusive of the lame e-duck
senator's the majority of the Senate
had been in favor of his amendment
TO the District appropriation bill,
providing that the Public Utilities
Commission should have no funds un-
III IT compelled the street car com
panies to go back to the fares al
lowed in their old contracts with the
District Of Columbia.
Cites the Record.
Senator McKellar read from the Rec
Public Utilities Commission was en-
acted as an amendment to the District
appropriation act. He contended that
the bill had been put through only after
the heads of the public utilities in
Washington had obtained from the
Senate District committee what they
wanted.
He said that when Congress put
through this public utilities act it had
thought that the law would help the
citizens Of the District
1T has had the very opposite effect Z"
said Senator Mcclellan He charged that
the Public Utilities Commission. in fix
ing rates to give a reasonable return,
had usurped power not given by the
law, and had claimed the power which
has been read into the law merely by
implication.
Too Compltcated.
Senator McKellar said that when
the Public Utilities Commission bill
was submitted to the late Secretary
Lane FOR an opinion he had said that
1t was too long and too complicated
ana that no one could tell what il
meant The Tennessee senator said
further that when the bill was hand
ed TO Senator Cummns Of Iowa the
senator had said that instead OF
bringing about lower rates for pub
lie service it gave too much power
to the commission and might result
in raising the rates.
The senator from Iowa was exact
ly' right" said Senator Mex KeIlar.

First Reserve Corps Band
To Be Organised in District

Washington has been accorded the
honor of having the first Reserve
Corps band authorized by the War
Department. 1t will be attached to
the 343d Engineer Regiment, Reserve
Corps, which Col. John Stewart COM
mands. One battalion of this rcgi-
ment is located in Washington, where
Col. Stewart has his headquarters,
and another in Baltimore.
The Reserve Corps band is now be-
ing recruited by First Lieut.. James
A. White, Reserve Corps. who is as
signed to the 343d Regiment. While a
member of the American expedition
airy force in France Lieut.. White or
ganized the band of the Goth Regi-
ment, United States Engineers.

The new band will have forty-eight
pieces and will be fully equipped with

instruments and uniforms through
the War Department. Gen. Pershing
is taking a keen interest in the or
ganization of the Reserve Corps band.
The new band will be used on occa-
sionS when the Reserve Corps is call
ed upon, particularly when the sum-
mer instruction camps are under full
swing. 1t is expected that it will be
assigned to the engineer camp,
which last year was at Camp Hum
phreys, Va. One of the difficulties
has been to find Sufficient music for
these camps. If the President reviews
in Washington the men who have
been in training next summer the
band will take part in the parade.
Lieut.. White has already discussed
the proposed band with members of
some of the high school organizations
here 1t is confidently expected that
the organization of the new band will
be successfully carried out and that
much interest will be felt in it,
Several other cities, it is said, were
seeking the authority to organize the

Congress never intended to give the
commission power to raise rates. Ever
since / have been in Congress the
commission has so arranged rates as
to be in the interests of the corpora
tions.
one member of the Public Utilities
Commission, who recently said that
the commission was willing to resign
and let somebody else tackle this
job, seems to have spoken too quickly,
for the next day he was chosen to
head the commission, and gave out a
statement supporting the commission
and the street railways.
."The vote in the Senate Thursday
was vote of lack of confidence in
the Public Utilities Commission and

At the request of the British the
rights of the American authorities
to detain British vessels suspected of

strictly to twelve miles from shore

probably embrace the distance COW
