on Sunday. "And, If you don't hear

After he had !eft, however, the
young lady experienced an uneasy

She was advised that r. j. p.
Franklin, the name he gave, did

Becoming suspicious, the hotel
authorities went to the mans room.
There they found soiled shirt

BUS FARE BOOST
To GET 0. k.

The petition Of the Washington
Rapid Transit Company for an In
creased fare to meet its losses of
the first six months Of this year,
will be approved by the Public
Utilities Commission, 1t was indi-
Gated at the District building today.
All possible arguments in favor
of keeping the present fare will be
brought out by Major w. E. r.
Covell, utilities assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner, and VIII
liam Mex. Clayton, chairman OF
the utilities committee Of the
Federation Of Citizens Associations.
Neither Major Covell nor Clayton
have satisfied themselves that the
request of the bus company should
be granted now, but admit that the
increase in seating capacity of the
buses has not been met by a pro.
portionate increase in passengers.
Two plans will be considered
by the commission
on September /, the date set for
the public hearing at the District
Building, a straight 10.cent fare or
q, service.at-cost plan.
It is possible that Clayton may
a service-at-cost plan with
the provision that 1t not be put
into effect at once. Thus, 1t IL
pointed out, an immediate increase
in fares can be avoided.
E. D. Merrill. president Of the
transit company. said today that he
was in favor of the straight 10-cent
fare as it would offset the losses
suffered during the first six months
of this year. He said that such ap-
proval by the commission would
provide for an early increase in
revenue.
