modation. Hundreds OF residents of
the outlying sections also point out
that the one-cent transfer privilege
at Wisconsin avenue and M street
fees in the downtown section much
earlier than If they went by the o
street line, and they are not forced
to walk several squares when leaving
the car lines bound for their places
of work, as would be the case if the
one-cent transfer is denied.
These commuters do not wish to
interfere with the convenience of the
Tenleytown citizens, but do insist
that If the Rockville cars continue to
make Wisconsin avenue and M street
their terminal the one-cent transfers
at least should be continued for all
passengers desiring them.
Hearing a Heated One.

back and forth between Tenleytown-
ties and Georgetown delegates. prov
ed as tense as any in the history of
the Public Utilities Commission, which
is usually noted for the dryness of
hearings.
Col. C. c. Lancaster, representing
some of the communities in the Dis
trict north of Georgetown, charged
that the Georgetown business men
were entirely selfish in their desires
to have the present system retained
and that they sought to place the
welfare of their business establish
ments ahead of the welfare of the
street car riding public in opposing
the through downtown service for
Wisconsin avenue. He blunuy an
nounced that his organization had
"thrown out" some of the delegates
when they went to a meeting at one
time and invited them back again to
receive similar treatment.

The sweetheart of an, Ell Dorado,
Kans.. girl was leaving town for
considerable length of time. Think
ing to put him in a romantic mood
before he left, she bought a senti-
mental record to play for him on her
phonograph. 1t was entitled 'I'll be

Imagine her dismay when she heard
the whole record, in the presence of
her admirer, and the words of a pop

there when you get back, but I'll be

TENLEYTOWN MAY
WIN In CAR FIGHT
W. r. E. Carriers Likely Will Be
Routed All the Way
Into City.
CENT TRANSFERS MAY 60
Hundreds Of Suburbanites, How.
ever, Protest Inconvenience.

The request of citizens from Ten
leytown and adjoining communities
for through car service on Wis
consin avenue to the downtown
section may be granted by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, it was indi-
Gated at the District building today.
1t is known that the presentation
made yesterday by the residents of
Tenleytown and some northwest su-
burban communities in the District
made deep impression upon the
members of the commission at the
public hearing on this point yeSter-
day. 1t is also understood that ia
vorable consideration is being given
TO the plea of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company for more
equitable arrangecent at the 1-cent
transfer point at Wisconsin avenue
and M street, where the Wisconsin
avenue line intersects with the Capt.
tai Traction Companys line.
At present the plan is to route all
cars on Wisconsin avenue from Rock
vile and all along the line to Wis
consin avenue and M street.
Transfers are issued to w. r. & E.
cars at o and P streets and one-cent
Traction cars at NJ street. The pro-
posed plan is to continue routing
Rockville cars. but these only, to NJ
street. All other cars would continue
downtown, as was requested by citi-
zens who objected to standing and
waiting in all sorts of weather at
transfer points from the w. r. & E.
Possible Bankruptcy Cited.
Officials of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company. including 6
President Ham and Vice. President S.
R. Bowen, told the commission yester-
day that the Georgetown and Tenley-
town company was slowly sliding
over the precipice of bankruptcy, and
this slide to receivership was given
some impetus by the arrangement of
one-cent transfers at NJ street.
The reason cited was that persons
en- route downtown. in the morning
used the free transfers to the Wash
ington Railway and Electric line at
o street, but when returning in the
evening, in order to do a bit of shop
ping and to avoid getting on a crowd
ed car, they would transfer at M
street from the Capital Traction
Company to the Wisconsin avenue
line. or this fare, only 1 cent paid
for the transfer went into the treas
ury of the Washington Railway and
Electric, while the 6.67 or cents as
the case may have been went to the
Capital Traction Company. The Pub
lie Utilities Commission is appealed
to by the railway company to remedy
this situation.
Marylanders Protest.
Hundreds of residents in outlying
suburban sections in Maryland and
north of Tenleytown. have submitted
petitions with the utilities commits
sion against the adjustment of the
one-cent transfer. These citizens
point out that the through car serv-
ice to the heart of the city would in
convenience them, inasmuch as they
would be forced to make most of their
purchases downtown and to carry
them to and on extremely crowded
street cars when en- route home. They
argue that the one-cent transfer gen.
orally facilitates their getting in and
out of the city, and is great accom-
