BUS FARE RAISE
OPPOSED BY
CITIZENS
Hold w. r. and &. Co. Petition
for BurIeith Line Is Only
An Opening Wedge

Opposition to the petition of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company for an increased fare on
the Burleith bus line foresees the
granting of the request as a wedge
to which the traction company will
attach further petitions for higher
fares on other lines.
The petition asks for a 10-cent
fare, or five tokens for As cents.
Another section OF the petition
seeks an extension of the line from
its present terminus at Tenth and
E streets northwest TO the Union
Station.
Statistics were offered before the
Public Utilities Commission today
by William E. Hams, president Of
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company, in which a loss by
the bus lines operating toward
Burleith was shown.
President Ham compared the pro-
posed fare to the fare of the Wash
ington Rapid Transit Company,
claiming that the per passenger
charge of the Burleith line will aver
age lower, in the long run, than
that of Arnold's buses.
The BuEleith Citizens Association
represented by Robert M. klinger.
went on record as opposed to the
petition for increased fare quoting
figures whereby 1t was shown that
each passenger would pay in one
year more than $17 over the pres
ent tariff.
William NICK. Clayton contended
that the plan was contrary TO the
idea Of Congress in the enaction Of
the transportation laws, 1t was
pointed out by MIR. Clayton that one
portion of a street railway system
losing money is supposed to be bal.
anced by heavier traffic in the con.
gested area.
Further discussion of the petition
is in order TODAY at the open hear
ing of the Utilities Commission on
the increased fare and extended
service. Decision will probably be
given on the cases the early, part
of next week.

POLICE 7 D
ENFORCE
RULE
Fifteen Miles an Hour is
Maximum Speed Allowed
TroIleys

That peculiar sinking-of-the-
stomach feeling of motorists when
they observe a policeman pacing
them on the broad highways is
to be experienced by motormen of
street cars in view of an order
issued by Major Edwin B. Hesse
today.
Major Hesse advised the police
department that complaints had
been received at the office of the
SUPERINTENDENT that street cars
were exceeding the fifteen-mile-
an-hour speed limit for the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Regulation to Be Enforced
All policemen, foot patrolmen and
mounted officers, are to see that
the regulation is complied with by
motormen.
An act Of Congress OF 1908 re-
ouired street railway cars TO keep
within the fifteen-mile limit and it
was learned today that the Public
Utilities Commission embodied this
clause in their regulations in 1919.
Strict observance of this regula-
ton will be required as it has been
noted by District officials that on
many streets in Washington street
fra a from
to thirty miles an hour.
Traffic Director M. o. Eldridge
pointed out recently that several
fatal accidents have resulted from
the high speed maintained by street
cars on various highways.
1t has been held by certain DIS
trict officials that with a merger
in the District of the traction
companies, a higher average speed
may be maintained with lower
maximum speed. The reroutinS Of
trolley cars so that congestion at
several of the bottle-neck sections
may be relieved
The speed with which passengers
are transported in Washington is
considerably lower tina min other
cities, it has been shown.
Fear Upst of Schedules
John II. Hanna, president Of the
Capital Traction Company, and
William f. Ham, president OF the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, said, after perusinG the
new order, that compliance with
the speed limit would probably
interfere with the schedules OF the
companies.
The traction companies heads
pointed out. The desirability OF en-
forcing a speed limit to control any
possibilit" of reckless driving On the
part of their motormen. They ad-
mitted that there were sections of
the city in which cars travel faster
than strict compliance with the
safety first motto would permit.
Buses should be made TO move
slower than cars running on rails,
MIR. Ham said as they are much
harder to control, but acc ordin2 to
the regulation 1t seems that the
biggest buses may move twenty
two miles an hour As other auto
mobiles.

FIREMAN HURT
IN R0SSLYN
BLAZE
Five Narrowly Escape When
Roof Caves In as They
Fight Fire

One fireman was hurt by falling
brick and five others narrowly es-
capped serious injury today when
the roof from which they were
fighting the fire that is still burn
ing at the Rosslyn Ice and Packing
Company. caved in.
Frank hummer, a member OF the
Ballston Fire apartment. was
bruised on his legts. Howard A.
Smoot, Teddy Goldsmith, Charles
Fl. Thompson and Chief Jack Rog-
ers, all of the Ballston depart
ment, and George Hoger, of the
Cherrydale department. are the
men whose lives were in jeopardy.
All were on the roof of the ice
company playing streams of water
on the fire when there was a sharp
crack, and the men jumped just in
time to escape being hurled into
the smoke-fil1ed building.
The firemen attribute their escare
to the fact that large ammonia
pipe directly beneath the portion of
the roof on which the men were
standing held.
Little hope is felt that any of
the machinery will be found in
working condition, and a Washing
ton fireman PAGES the damage at
nearly $500, 900. said to be the
amount of insurance carried.
The fire broke out last night at
1870 O'Clock. Fire companies from
surrounding towns and cities, in
Guiding Washington, Alexandria,
Cherrydale, Ballston, Clarendon and
Potomac came to the assistance OF
the Rosslyn fire department.
i. hi
with the curious watched the blaze
creating traffic jam which ex-
tended from one end of Key bridge
to the other. Cars were parked
all along the bridge, hose was laid
in all directions. and fire engines
met some difficulty in reaching the
blaze.

YARDS ARE
BARE Of
COAL.
Dealers Warn Householders
They Must Use Substitutes
This Winter

Washington householders who
failed to get their coal supplies in
early might as we'll start figuring
today on what substitute for hard
coal their heating equipment can
burn best.
According to news reaching
Jesse C. Suter, managing director
of the Coal Merchants Board Of
Trade, there's plenty of anthra-
cite in the household bins of the
city, but you couldn't find any in
the dealers yards with the Naval
Observatory telescope.
Must Use Substitutes
Inasnuch as local stocks of hard
coal are practically exhausted. Mr..
Suffer-. as spokesman for the coal
dealers, strongly advised household
ers to get acquainted with the sub
stitutes, as there is every indication
at this time of a later run" on
coke and other by-products.
According to Mr.. Suter, there is
no occasion for real alarm in the
anthracite shortage, but coal con-
sumers must either use bituminous
or other substitutes for anthracite
to which they are not at present
accustomed.
The receipts of anthracite at local
dealers yards up to the end OF
September were per cent in excess
Of shipments for the corresponding
period of 1924, but the early buyers
bought up the supply quickly. The
recent cold weather heightened the
demand and the coal dealers yards
were soon emptied.'
Small Reserves Held
Some are still holding a small
reserve supply for regular custom
ers whose needs are imperative, and
every effort is being made to pre-
vent boarding or shopping" among
the various dealers by users OF
anthracite.
According to Mr.. Suter, he has
been informed of at least one case
of a small neighborhood dealer
whose customers are poor, living
from hand to mouth, and buying
coal by small weights.

Doctor Swope said that the medi-
cal examination of school children
was an important function, and that
often the causes of deficient mental
development may be found in OBJ
scure and neglected physical con-
ditions which are subject to COM
plete readjustment undec intelligent
care.
"In this watchful supervision over
the school children there should be
the fullest and most constant CO.
operation between the home, the
school, and the medical practition-
ers, and no one medical school
should be permitted to dominate and
control the medical inspection of
school children" he asserted.
Contributions to Science
Doctor Swope declared that it is
important that the public realize
that although osteopathy is very
,oung, vet 1t has made many notable
contributions to medical science
1.-THE public should have some
knowledge of our achievements, and
it should appreciate that we are
living in a period of great activity
and promise, and that we may save
millions of human lives and endless
suffering through the support and
announcement of scientific osteO-
pathic research" he said.
Unusual opportunities await high
school graduates desiring to lead a
professional life by becoming
osteopathic or homeopathic physi-
clans. it was declared today by
Doctor S. Fl. Bright, of Norfolk, Va,
president OF the association.
Doctor Bright urged members OF
the association to interest educated
young men in taking up this pro
fession as their life work, rather
than devoting their efforts to the
business world.
I'm this day OF big business and
commercialism we see the youths
of our nation turning away from
the professions and the many other
American aim-that of accumulat-
ing wealth." he said.
Demand Is Cited
Doctor Bright said that the num-
Der of graduates in this profession
are about the same at present as
IL was WneH ne STduunlCu lWcul&
two years ago and was not max
ing the progress that it should.
The country is clamoring for this
class of physicians, he said, and
If must be made known to the
Young men of the nation the in
conpa raj BILE service that can be
rendered by this profession, and
the great need of educated and
thoroughly equipped physicians at
the present time.
Doctor Fl. V. Halliday, of Des
Moines, Iowa. addressed the con
yention last night and made the
forecast that osteopathic examina
tion would soon be made of all
public school children throughout
the country.
Demonstration Is Given.
He said osteopaths were caring
for more than 450 high school and
amateur athletes in Des MOines and
that a movement was now under
wav to have osteopaths work with
