The proposals pending in the 3S

and the impounding or confiscation of

Senator Vigorously CritiCizes
Issue of Bus Line Permit
to w. R. & E.

Vigorously attacking the Public
Utilities Commission for granting
the proposed cross-tow bus route
to the Washington Railway and
Electric Co. instead of the Washing
ton Rapid Transit Co. Senator Royal
S. Copeland of New York, at meet
ing of the Senate District commit
tee today, predicted a suit against
the commission by the bus company,
Senator Copeland asserted that he
did not believe a street railway com
pany could, under its charter, oper-
ate a bus line and that he did not
believe the Public Utilities Commits
sion had any authority to grant such
permission.
Senator King Takes other Side.
Senator King of Utah defended the
commission. as did Col. Bell, Engi-
neer Commissioner of the District;
Maj. Covell, Col Bells assistant, anG
Corporation Counsel stephens.
The Utah Senator said that if the
commission did not now have the
power to grant bus line permits to
the railway companies he was in
favor of giving them the authority.
Telling Corporation Counsel Step
hens that "he had better brush up
on his law because he would soon
have case on his hands which he
would find difficult to win" Senator
Copeland cited many cases where it
had been held illegal for railway and
steamboat companies to operate other
public utilities than such as their
original charters granted.
"Of course, if the street car COM
panies are on the verge of disaster,
said Senator Copeland. 'and this is
only a question of expediency to keep
them from going bankrupt, why that
Is one thing, but to refuse permts-
sion to Independent bus companies is

street railway companies are SOL
vent"
Col. BeII Makes Statement.
Col Bell told the committee that it
was evident the only way that the
matter could be ironed out would be
TO go to court, as there were now IL
bus lines operated by street railway
companies He said he thought that
the Public Utilities Commission had
ample power to order the street rail-
way companies to substitute bus lines
for street car lines.
The committee took no action on
the policewoman's bill, although
urged to do so by Senator Copeland
and Mrs Nina Van Wrinkle, head of
the Woman's Bureau. Senator Jones
of Washington announced that he had
not given the bill enough study to
warrant action.
Agree to Expedite.
1t was agreed, however, that if the
House passes the bill an. immediate
poll of the Senate District committee
would be taken and the bill placed
on the Senate calendar.
At the conclusion of the meeting
Senator Ball of Delaware, chairman
of the committee, announced that he
would attempt to get a night session
of the Senate for consideration of the
rent bill.

COME IN RELAYS
Mixup In Schedule Brings Visitors
To Town In Groups

something went awry with the
schedule of the National Editorial
Association, which was scheduled to
get to Woodstock at D. m. Satur-
day.
The original plan called for a di-
vision of the groups after leaving
Harrisonburg, an equal number go
ing to Luray, Shenandoah and End
less caverns, afterward the body was
to assemble on the campus of Mas
sanutten Academy, where prepara-
lions had been made to serve ice

of the large party expected put in
appearance, the balance of the allot-
ment assigned to the Caverns being
diverted through some influence. tn

The management at Shenandoah
Caverns had made plans to take care
of at least so of the visitors, but be-
cause fthe semi-official interference
with the schedule as agreed upon
when the association was first routed.
through the Shenandoah Valley the
Shenandoah Caverns contingent went
either to Luray or Endless.
AS a result of this discrimination
against Shenandoah County's biggest
natural asset. the editors came to
Woodstock in small parties, and
after brief stop were hurried to
Winchester, where elaborate plans
for their entertainment were carried
out.

burg, Strasburg, Toms Brook, Maui
rertown, and contiguous territory.
cooperating with the local Chamber
of Commerce, the Edinburg Board of
Trade and other civic bodies, fur
nished automobiles for transporting
the association to Winchester.
1t was stated that representative
from Luray had much to do with the
unethical actions which brought
about the shattered schedule, al
though it was not altogether the anx-
iety of the Luray representatives
which operated against Shenandoah
County receiving fair treatment.
