BURLINGAIN s
POWER CUT

Captain Guy e. Burlingame, the
most colorful member OF the Police
Department, will no longer lead his
flying squadron" in spectacular
chases after bootleggers over city
streets and suburban highways.
f'For the good Of the service, !"
the captain will direct his efforts
toward enforcing the law from the
Second precinct, in accordance with
an order issued by Major Edwin B.
Hesse.
A general shake-up OF the Police
Department came yesterday. within
two days after the announcement
Of Commissioner Jennings resigna-
ton.
Burlingame, going to No. 2, will
be succeeded by the newly-pro.
NOTED Capt. j. e. Wilson. Capt. r.
N. Cornwell, of the Second precinct
goes to no. 10, succeeding Capt.
g. r. M. Lord, who will command
the new Thirteenth precinct.
Burlipgame, often before the pub.
Hc eye, became famous as leader
Of the flying squadron"
The ire OF the police chief, Major
Hesse, wss often aroused when the
squadron was charged with being
unduly ardent and rough. Hesse
has never been in favor OF ''strong
arm" enforcement Of the law when
1t could be avoided.
With the selection OF Sergt. @.
M. Little, a member Of the "flying
squadron" as successor to Bur,
lingame, Major Hesse has chosen
the man who was In charge of the
suppression OF liquor traffic on the
Bladensburg road when the District
OF Columbia was dry and Baltimore
was wet.
Hesse said that Commissioner
Fenning approved the promotion of
Little to a serEeancy a year ago,
but that the transfer of Burlingame
had been delayed.
The flying squadron" headquar.
tiers was changed from the Eleventh
to the Sixth precinct today by
Major Hesse.
He said that this was done to
provide a more centrally located
base from which to operate and
would make it easier for it's mem.

BUS
FARE SOUGHT

z. D. Merrill, president Of the
Washington Rapid Transit Com
pany, today completed the study OF
the financial affairs Of his company
preparatory to the submission Of a
request to the Public Utilities Com.
mission for an increased bus fare.
Merrill said that statistics would
be set before the commission not
later than Monday of next week
and that the announcenent Of a.
date for q public hearing on the
valuation of the company would
soon follow.
Since it was learned that the bus
company was not earning more
than enough to pay the accumulated
interest on indebtedness, 1t was un-
derstood that a petition for an in.
creased fare would soon be filed.
Merrill said that certain adjust.
ments Of revenues and returns
would be necessary before any nc,
ton could be taken and he wanted
to reallocate certain losses over the
preceding six months period before
he appeared before the commission.

denied the petition of the Memorial
Rest Association for permission 20
establish q colored cemetery On
Giesboro Rd., halfway between the
Home for the Aged and Infirm at
Blue Plans and st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital for the Insane.
The city heads gave as the reason
for their action the opinion that the
proper construction of the District
code would hold that the associa-
ton had not complied with the law.
The law provides that no ceme-
terry shall be placed within a mile.
and-one-half Of the city limits and
the Commissioners said that the
built-up section of Congress Heights
is construed az portion of said
limits.
Bitter opposition to the proposed
location of the cemetery had been
voiced by the neighborhood citizens
association and residents Of the
locality.

said.
Old Bin Is Model
The first cumpuIsory merger bill
which died in Congress several
years ago will be used as an ex.
ample, according to Colonel Bell.
The measure will be- SO drawn
as to add to the burdens Of the
two companies unless they merge,
It is understood. Increased taxes
viii be provided on all revenue
over a certain stipulated amount
but the companies will be able to
avoid the payment of these taxes
II they combine, 1t is pointed out.
With the assistance OF Corpora
ton Counsel Stephens, Colonel Bell
said he expects to so draft the
bill that 1t viii not be considered
conftscatory or a violation Of the
companies' constitutional rights.
Lack Of Counsel No Bar
Lack Of additional counsel win
not delay the drawing OF the meas.
ure. 1t is said. Some months ago
1t was. expected that the newly.
authorized attorney for the Com.
mission would be OF some assistance,
but Colonel Bell said that lack OF
previous experience with the merger
situation in the District might
cause the counsel to be hIpdrance
rather than a help.
The merger bill viii probably pro-
