was asked by ahe Montgomery
County delegation as to why q small
board should cling to a policy that
was to the disinterest not only Of
$4,000 people in the suburbs, but the
people of Washington, both from a
business standpoint and from the
viewpoint of logical development of
the National Capital over greater
areas.
Mr.. Clayton declared he believed
merger of the street car lines was
ahead and that when this time came
the reinforced financial position OF
all traction interests would permit
greater extension of suburban lines.
County Delegates Differ.
Montgomery County delegates de-
clared. however, that mergers and
reinforced finances meant nothing
unless there was q disposition on
the part of the heads of tranSporta-
.tion companies to meet the needs Of

QUEEN SEESFALLS
ON WAY TO CANADA
Cuts Out Some Side Trips at

QUEEN MARIE'S SPECIAL
TRAIN, Niagara Falls, N. Y, Octo-
Der 26.-The worlds greatest water
fall drew the attention Of Queen Marie
today for u few hours before the Ru-
manian royal party moved into Canada
on the second leg of the transconti-
mental Journey.
The Queen boarded her train imme-
dlately after a dinner and reception
in Buffalo, rendered by the city last
night, arriving here at o'clock this
morning.
Because Of the late hour at which
the Queen began her sleep, and be-
cause of efforts being made to safe
guard her health, some of the recep-
ton program here was Cancelled at
the last moment.
An early breakfast and side trips
In the neighborhood Of the falls were
among the events which were aban-
doned at the request Of the Queen.

Brief Remarks Over Radio.

The Queens remarks at the dinner
were disappointingly brief to radio
listeners. A microphone, leading to

It's discovery by the Queens advisers
was followed by their suggestion that
she avoid impromptu radio talks.
