DEFEAT AS
RIDER
SEEN
Mcclellan Impatient at Com
nnittee Delay to Bring
Issue on Floor

Nearly a score of District officials
appeared before the House Appro-
priations Committee today in sup
port Of supplemental and deficiency
estimates for the District, to be in
cluded in the first deficiency appro-
priation bill now in course of prepa-
ration.
Defeat As "Rider" Seen.
It is probable that the five-cent
fare resolution as rider" to the
District bill will be defeated, but
the fight will be renewed at the
next session Of Congress, it was in
dictated today.
William s. Ham, president of the
Washington Railway and Electric
company, continued on the stand be.
fore the District committee today.
His testimony related chiefly to the
0ve-cent fare which is being ex-
perimented with in Northern New
Jersey. Fare zones have been es-
tablished, and Mr.. Ham submitted
data to show that coming system
in Washington would be impracti-
cable and unpopular. He said the
citizens OF the District had opposed
street railway coming propositions in
the past.
Senator Mcclellan was inclined to
doubt some of the testimony relat-
ing to the financial condition Of the
New Jersey company and said so
with marked asperity. He had sew
eral clashes with Senator Ball who
presided at the hearing, over the
questions he had propounded to Mr..
Ham.
Ready To Quit Hearing.
eff the chairman wants me to
quit this hearing, l will be glad to
do So" said Senator Mcclellan. eff
remain l intend to ask any ques.
ton that I deem pertinent to the
subject
Senator Mcclellan made a point
Of the fact that the New Jersey
Public Service Corporation had Pc
titioned for continuance of the
Eoned five-cent fare. He argued
that they would be insane" to do
this If they were losing money
thereby. The Washington Railway
and Electric Company sent two Of
its officers to New Jersey to OBTAIN
details of the functioning of the
five-cent fare and they brought in
report indicating, apparently, that
1t was not the success 1t was al.
legged to be.

Lang put me to great expense for

time-much more than the account
amounted to. Any one knows that an
old Ford is expensive to keep up when
there is lot of driving to dc.
There are between fifty and sixty
farmers, who will bear me out in my
statement concerning the crooked
dealings of Ray Lang, though Ray
may call it good business. These
people who are Ford users, have
signed a petition to the Ford Motor
Co. fer the removal of Lang, charg-
ing him with selling them spurious
parts and overcharging. Although
this petition has not been sent in,
Mr.. Lang already had to submit to
one investigation. | have taken no

In regard to Mr.. Lang's troubl,

On June 18th, We received the con
