Captain Morse is a convincing talk

Lack of Interest

Gated by the fact that Shenandoah

and this county of all counties in the
area will be particularly benefited by
the establishment of the park

their allotments, while others are
holding back to see what Shenandoah

TRAFFIC BILL
To be FIXED
House and Senate Conferees
Will Meet on Measure
Tomorrow

Radical differences between the
traffic bills for the District as
passed by the House and Senate
will be speedily ironed out in con-
ference, in the opinion OF L. Heis-
Ter Ball, chairman of the Senate
District Committee.
Senator Ball said he did not be-
lieve any of the drastic amend
ments adopted by the House would
prove serious enough to endanger
final passage Of the measure. He
said that on most of the amend
ments the members of the COM
mittee would play fifty-fifty with
the House, but that they would
stand pat on the thirty-mile-
maximum speed limit. which was
reduced in the House to twenty
two. E
1t il the view in the Senate that
the House was merely playing for
time. when it amended the traffic
bill 50 literally, in a desire to pre-
vent the District rent bill from
coming up.
Conferees, both for the House
and the Senate, will be appointed
this afternoon and they are ex-
pected to meet tomorrow.

Utilities Commission Exceed
ing Rights in Senator'S
Opinion

Al friendly suit will soon be
instituted against the Public Utili-
ties Commission and the Washing
ton Railway and Electric CO., TO
determine the authority Of the
present plan Of permitting the
street railway companies to oper-
ate buses, it was revealed today
at i Senate District Committee
hearing BY Senator Royal s.
Copeland Of New York.
Senator Copeland minated that
he had knowledge that the WASH

the Public Utilities Commission
in this matter and he good natur-
edly advised Corporation Counsel
Francis H. Stephens ito brush up
on your law because you are going
to have to defend q suit you will
have hard time winning.
Sees Violation OF Charters.
Taking charge Of the meeting q
the request Of Chairman Ball. Sen,
ator Copeland intimated that he is
convinced that the Public Utilities
Commission has erred in permitting
the granting OF bus franchises TO
the trolley lines and that the streat
railway lines themselves have vio-
lated their charters by accepting the
franchise.
Engineer Commissioners Bell, chair.
man of the Public Utilities Cemnis
sion, told Senator Copeland that
when he came here it had been the
habit to grant bus permits and that
he had continued 1t on advice OF the
corporation counsel. He pointed out
thereeare now twelve bus lines OPP
Grated by street railway companies
and IL the commission changes its
policy and denies permits in the
future they will be drawn into court.
Want Matter Settled.
ut is for this reason said Com
missioner Bell, that we would invite
legal Intervention in order that the
matter can be definitely settled for
all time.
In the opinion OF Senator Cope
land who has looked up the mat
ter thoroughly the courts are al
most certain to hold that the Pub
lie Utilities Commission here has
no power to grant bus franchises
to street railway companies.

say, that he had no money to pay
for them.
Marshall claims that he returned
tn the scene of the accident after he
had completed his chase, but that the
drivers had gone. He then went to
his post at the corner of Eighteenth
and Columbia roads.
The drivers are asking damages
for their injured car. Hartford says
he was told to drive fast and was
NOT responsible for the accident. He
also complains that Marshall neglec
ted to report the affair.
Inspector Headley declares that
the District government cannot pay
for the damaged cars. He says
either the drivers will be reSpon-
sible or the traffic officer must
pay, pointing out that there are no
funds for such payments.
The Washington times., 1925-02-24

According to Hartford, his car
was commandeered at Connecticut
avenue and Columbia road Sunday
afternoon, by Marshal! to catch a
motorist who had passed by a
street car on the wrong side.
They followed the car up Con-
necticut avenue. At Kalorama road,
Harford's car collided with one
driven by Charles A. Carry, Bats
Lowell street northwest. The two
drivers say the policeman jumped
out and comnIandeered another car
without seeing what damage had
been done.
They claim they waited an hour
for him to return but to no avail
and then went to look for him
and found him directing traffic at
