NJ KELLAR
To MAKE
FIGHT
Will Tack His Resolution on
D. c. Appropriation Bill.
Opposed by Ball.

A test of strength of the Nc
Kellar Scent fare resolution will
come in the Senate during the
consideration Of the District Ap-
preparation bill.
The scent fare proposal is to
be tackled on as "rider" to the
District bill if Senator Mcclellan
has his way. Senator King an
nounced today, at the conclusion
OF the hearing relating to the
Capital Traction Company's fiscal
affairs, that he intended to follow
this policy with reference to his
amendment.
Opposed by Ball.
Senator Ball, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, an
nounced his opposition to the Nc
Kellar proposal and indicated that
he would fight it on the floor of
, the Senate.
az do not think that general
legislation of this type should be
written into an appropriation bill, I"
said Senator Ball. II do not think
1t is germane to the measure.
Senator Mcclellan warned the
representatives of both the Capital
Traction Company and the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany not to prolong the hearings
further, because he would decline
to hold his resolution in allegiance
any longer.
He declared he intended to act
Just as soon as the District APP
preparation bill reaches the floor
OF the Senate.
May Ignore Committee.
The action taken by Senator Nc
Kellar apparently means that he in
tends to ignore the Senate District
Committee in the future, inasmuch
as he takes the position that the
committee either will act adversely
on his scent fare plan or will de-
lay a report upon it so that vote
in the Senate will be difficult to
obtain before the session closes.
j. H. Hanna, vice-president OF
the Capital Traction Company, con-
tinued his testimony before the Sen
ate District Committee today.
He reached the climax Of his
statement when he declared that
even if passenger traffic on the line
was increased 100 per cent on a
straight scent fare basis the cor
poration would barely manage to
make a per cent return on fair
value.
Means Bankruptcy, He Says.
He then proceeded to show that
q 100 per cent increase in traffic
without vast increase in trackage,
rolling stock and operating equip
ment was utterly impossible.
ION any basis a scent fare
means bankruptcy to the Capital
Traction Company" he declared.
The statement made by Mr.. Han
ma before the committee today, re-
lated largely to technical issues in
volved in depreciation and main
tenance charges.
President George e. Hamilton, of
the corporation, will conclude the
company's statement next Monday.

ON
ZONE LAW
CHANGE
Commission to Hear Citizens
on Amendment to Sus-
pend Regulations.

The District Zoning Commission
will hold a public hearing in the
board room of the District Build
inng, April II, at 10 o'clock, to
test public sentiment on a pro-
posed change in the coming law,
which would enable the commits
sion to suspend its regulations
pending an open discussion.
Would Amend Law.
AS the coming law now stands, 1t
is possible for an applicant to OBJ
tain a building permit, provided the
contemplated structure Is of a ma
ture in accordance with the general
coming plan.
The law is so general in this re-
gard that persons who would be in
terested in a building to be erected
in the vicinity of their homes do
not realize what kind of building
Is beng constructed until the permit
has been issued and work actually
begun. In many cases, the type of
structure is undesirable. but is in
keeping with the regulations Of the
coming commission.
Citizens Considered.
The commission plans to ask Con-
gress to amend the law in order
that residents may be given Il
chance to express their views on
what kind Of business places they
desire near their homes. Pending a
public hearing. no permits would be
issued.

 Barely able to whisper the wom- an told the coroner that TOT some time she and her husband had in- tended committing snicide. The man had been in ill health, for several months, suffering from asthma, and other ailments.
 Mr. Cummins had bullet wound through his head, and his wife bull let wound just above the heart. A SS calibre revolver was used in the shooting.
