hearing before the Utilities Commits
sion at the District building today
The commission began the Job in

point that the Interstate Commerce
Commission had jurisdiction over its
depreciation account.

for the local railways and the COM

companies could prepare to present
their arguments.

Jurisdiction has not been settled finally.
Another Question Raised.
He testified that following the re-
cent decision OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission, he wrote to that
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company from all jurisdiction by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. Mr..
Ham then put into the record the re-
ply to his letter in which the Inter
state Commerce Commission pointed
out that there are two cases now pend
ing in the United States Supreme
Court that might have an effect on
the question of local jurisdiction.
Mr.. Ham suggested this correspond
ence indicated there is still some
doubt as to which commission has
control of the depreciation question.
Walter c. Allen. secretary of the
commission. proposed that before an
other hearing is called that officials
of the companies hold conferences
with the commission to work out as
many of the details as possible.

House Committee Opposes Gun

ments Proposed for War Vets.

Creation Of preferred class in
civil service is repugnant to and in
direct violation Of the very funda-
mentals of democratic institutions"
the House committee on reform in
the civil service said in a letter to
H. w. Zarsh. secretary Of the Ma

Thus the House committee goes on
record as opposed to giving unlimited
preference to war veterans in making
appointments to government posi-
tions. although. the letter states,
reasonable preference already is
given to the war veterans.
Under the bill of Representative
Thompson, republican. Ohio, which
favors the appointment of an honor
ably discharged veteran without ex-
animation. provided an appointing
officer finds him qualified, the letter
stated. appointments would be made
on the basis of personal and political
