CUT In BUS FARE
TO BE DECIDED SOON
Temporary Trial Period Up Thurs
day, But Company's Report Will
Take Short Time.

A reduction in the bus fare on the
lines of the Washington Rapid Transit
Co. may be considered early in April,
it was indicated today by officials Of
the Public Utilities Commission.
The present rate of fare of 10 cents
cash, with six tokens for so cents,
was put into effect January l for a
temporary period of three months.
Announcement was made at that time
that a study would be made Of the
company's earnings for the three
month period to determine if another
cut could be made without jeopardiZ-
ing a fair rate of return.
While the temporary period expires
Thursday, L. D. Merrill, president and
general manager of the bus company,
said today that he could not give the
utilities commission a report on the
carriers finances for the month of
March until about April 10, and
therefore would not be in a position
to decide whether it could stand a
fare reduction.
Engineer Commissioner j. Franklin
Bell. chairman Of the commission.
said he did not believe it would be
wise to force the company into a
clear-cut controversy Immediately on
the expiration of the temporary
period. unless its report on its finances
is ready.
The reduction January l was made
as result of a petition filed with the
commission by the Federation of
Citizens Association. which urged
that the fares be reduced to 9 cents
cash, with three for 25 cents and free
transfers to intersecting street car
lines

MOB BEATS DRIVER
AFTER AUTO CRASH
P. H. Keller Obtains Contin-
uance in Court, Denying
Drunk Charge.

Percy Henry Keller, 30 years old,
salesman. living at 2700 Connecticut
avenue. pleaded not guilty to a charge
of driving while drunk when taken
before Judge Gus A. Schuldt in Police
Court today as the outcome of an
automobile crash yesterday afternoon
at Sixteenth street and Florida ave-
nue.. after which he is said to have
been beaten by witnesses who thought
he was trying 10 leave.
Judge Schuldt granted a continu-
ance of the case until April %, when
Keller will be tried by jury. Delay
was asked in order to give time for
Wright, to come here from Florida.
Keller gave a $500 bond for his ap
pearance.
Keller was attempting to pass a
car on Sixteenth street at Florida
avenue. police say, when his auto
crashed with one operated by Mrs.
Rosa Wassman of 619 II street. The
4-year-old daughter of Mrs. Wass-
man, Frances, was cut on the cheek
by flying glass. Lieut.. Gus Lauten of
the Metropolitan Police. relative of
Mrs. Wassman, appeared at Police
Court and said the child would bear
an ugly scar all her life as n result.
Keller was arrested by Park Police
man d. J. Beckman. Witnesses pulled
Keller from his auto and beat him,
police say. In the car with him, 1t
was said, was w. II. Greyburn, an
actor.

year of service up to 80 years. Since
to low-salaried employees this pension
may give an annuity equal to full
salary, the board suggests a limit
on the total amount of annuity equal
to IS per cent of the final average
salary of the employe.
|. The board then proposes new
plan Including these recommenda-
tions as we'll as others dealing with
disability benefit and contributions by
employees. In the matter of disabli-
ity benefit the board recommends
that the allowance be made similar
in form to it's suggestion for age
retirement fixing the fiat allowance
for disabled employees for each year
Of service at SIS instead of $40.
"By making the allowance on disa-
biity retirement" the board asserts,
slightly less than the allowance on
service retirement, % desirable incen-
tive will be offered to employees TO
remain in the service to the superan-
nuation retirement age rather IMAM
to attempt to prove disability for the
purpose of retiring before the attain
ment of age 60. This practice of haV-
ing the service benefit slightly higher
than the disability benefit has been
adopted by the majority of the new
retirement funds in this country.
The new plan proposes that Federal
employes under the retirement fund
contribute at the rate of 3l2 per cent
of their salaries to meet the increased
benefits while the board believes,
continues the report, that the ideal
: method of figuring the contributions
would be one in which the contribu-
ton has a direct relation to the bene-
fit. the time available for the preSenta-
ton of the figures required this year
does not permit any definite recon-
mendations in this respect. AS the
employe will be treated with appro-
pirate fairness under the proposals,
/ with the notifications as suggested
| by the board. this point is not believed
| highly important"
Accurate Records Urged.
The tabulation of the new plan pro
Nposed by the board prepared as of
June 30, 1925, shows a total cost of
81 ,13S ,105, ,701, with appropriations re-
q.'ired from the Government amount
inG to 1887 1862, sol. The annual cost
under this plan is also tabulated
showing the total at $6S974.291, of
which, the employees would pay $780,
198,9A5 while the Government would
pay $A2, ,775,3 ,306.

regard to the administration of the
