Punitive action against the Dis
trict street railway companies to
force them either into a merger
or into bankruptcy has been con-
sidered by the District Public
Utilities Commission.
The Commission, however, is
afraid to shoulder the RESPONSE
bility for such action, and is re-
questing that Congress take the
initiative.
This was developed today by
the special public utilities subcom-
mittee of the House District Com
mittee when it continued hearings
on the Blant0n scent fare bill,
with Major W. E. r. CoyelI, As
sistant District Engineer Commits
sioner, on the stand.
Considered Drastic Action
Major Covell declared that upon
the failure of the street railways
to take steps toward a merger,
members OF the Public. Utilities
Commission seriously considered
throwing down all bars to the motor
bus companies.
He stated that the Commission
believed that IL the flood gate we're
opened to bus operators who already
had made application to operate in
the District, the street railway
companies would be forced into
bankruptcy unless they merged to
protect themselves.
Members of the commission hest
tated over taking such action, he
told the committee, because they
feared the transportation facilities
Of the city might become den1or-
allied.
Wants Congress to Act
In response to questions, he ad-
mitted that the Public Utilities
Commission now has. the power to
take legal action which would force
the street railway companies to
merge. He suggested, however
that Congress shoulder the respon-
sibility for such a step.
II the street railway companies
Of Washington see that Congress
Is likely to take steps toward a
compulsory merger, I am convinced
that they will see the light and con-
solidate voluntarily" Major Covell
said.
Representative William C. Ham
mer of North Carolina asked Major
CoveIl whether or not the COM
panies would be able to get back
on their feet financially by mer-
ger of the bus and street car lines
eliminating the competitive feature.
cit is being done in many cities

Representative Hammer took the
Public Utilities Commission to task
for Its conduct Of street railway
valuation cases.

COURT WON'T PUNISH
BARKING DOGS OWNER

The barking OF a dog cannot be
regarded as disorderly conduct of
It's owner, according to Judge John
p. Mcmahon, who today dismissed
such charge, which had been
lodged against Aaron Trachtenberg.
439 K st. N. w.
According to Policeman F. w.
Baum, he was arresting a drunken
man In front of Trachtenberg's
premises when the latter's dog
ran out and barked in seeming
protest at the arrest. A short time
later Baum returned with three
other policemen, it is said. and ar.
rested Trachtenberg, charging him
with disorderly conduct. The dog
was not arrested. Y

HORSE BAN

If the wealthy residents Of Six.

Avenue only had enough influence
with Traffic Director NJ. o. Ed
ridge, he could issue them special
permits to use these bOulevards
for their horse drawn carriages, it
was learned at the District Building
today.
Although the regulation reads
that horse drawn vehicles and solid
tired trucks cannot use the speCi-
fled bouleVards except when MAX
ing deliveries, the traffic director
has allowed steam shoVels and other
slow moving vehicles when Condi-
tions warranted.
Special permits could also be
granted to parades, 1t was said

Department as to whether it would

Asked whether the Traffic Direc-
tor could issue Il special permit to

the other automobile a short
distance from the alley.
No charge has been placed
against him at the station, pending

The police picked up the trail of
the liquor car near the Navy Yard,
just after dawn. The rum-runners
increased their speed, lodging
through side streets and alleys in
their effort to escape.
Brakes Burn Out
The brake Innings of the liquor
car were burned away by the ext
gencies of flight and the machine
was escaping from control Of Its
driver when it suddenly turned
into the alley.
just before the car plunged into
a brick wall, two colored men
jumped from it and fled. They
were chased for five blocks, but got
away, according to Ogle.

The first two arrested last night
were Richard Anthony Cottrell and
Johnnie Henry Hayes, both OF Balti-
more, operating a large car on
Bladensburg Road Northeast.
When the police gave chase, Cot
treIl, the driver, is said to have
attempted to force Spaulding from
the road. He failed and skidded
entirely around, attempted to make
a getaway and finally mired his
car in the soft durt inside the
curbing.
Both were charged with trans
porting and possession of ninety.six
half-gallons of liquor, and Cottrell
with having dirty tags.
Norman Gold, also said to be

IN CRIME
STORY

The "deadline" in the second
trial of Ziang Sun Wan for the
murder of Ben Sen WI, in the
Chinese Educational Mission, jan
uary 20, 1919,. has been estab-
lished.
This mooted point, referring to
the limit beyond Hhich questioning
of witnesses cannot go, was ruled
upon by Justice Wendell P. Stat
ford late yesterday, while DR..
Kang Ii, of Shanghai, star wit
ness for the Government, was on
the stand.
Arrival Here Is Limit
Inasmuch as the Supreme Court,
in a decision making possible VANS
present trial, ruled out the accused
mans Confession" to detectives,
Justice Stafford denoted the exami-
nation Of witnesses could not 20
further than the arrival of Wan
in Washington from New York, in
company of detectives, few days
after the triple murder at the mis-
sion house was discovered.
Testimony has shown that Wan,
visited by Washington detectives
in New York on February 1, 1919,
voluntarily accompanied the of.
ficers to Washington.
DR.. Lii was relating a converse
ton he had with Wan at a police
station, when Wilton j. Lambert,
leader of the defense. objected. to
further statements OF what oc.
Cured at the station.
Justice Stafford upheld the OBJ.
lection, and the subsequent cross
examination, touching on Wan s
return to this city, warned Attor-
Rey Lambert that further prosecu-
ton of that lire of questioning
might prove dangerous.
Due to the numerous important
legal questions involved in the
trial, arising out of the death or
disappearance of former witnesses,
and from the Supreme Court deci-
sion, a considerable part of the
prosecutions case has been pre-
ceded by conferences of counsel at
Justice Stafford's bench.
These conferences have become
more numerous daily.
Wan at Mission
DR.. Ii said he visited the mission
house on the evening of January 20
and was told by Wan, who oponed
the door, that the other occupants
Of the house were absent. Two
days later, Ii said, he climbed
through a window into the mission,
saw The foot OF the late DIR. T. T.
Wong, director of the institution,
protruding from behind a door, toes
uward--and summoned police.
On cross examination, DR.. Ii said
ne had mad a key to the mission.
but had returned it in January 26.

weapon, he said, was hard to pull.

Wu's pistol was used in the muir
der, and that it would have been
physically impossible for Wan, weak
