il was indicated at the District
Building today.
indifference on the part Of the
street car companies has hindered

fiOn. Little progress has been

cording to officials
It was learned today that q
short time ago b plan on which
merger negotiations might be
hinged was drafted and discussed
with the utilities commission.
Given the plan to work O:1t in
detail, the two street car companies
liave apparently dropped It. Il is
said.
Colonel Bell said that there are
several methods which would bring
the traction companies around In
lis time. One Of these would be
to issue permission to operate bus
lines propiiscuously, regardless Of
territorial rights enjoyed at present
BY both companies.
1t was expected that word would
be received from both the Traction
and Railway companies today as
to what progress, IL any, had been
made since the last hearings before
Congress. No letters were received
by the commission, so 1t Is limited

PENSIONS BILL
HOPE SEEN

The first sign that the deadlock
between the House and Senate on
Federal retirement legislation would
be broken came today when the
conferees Of the two houses held
their initial meeting.
Senator Stanfield, heading the
Senate conferees, said no agreement
was in reach, but made the definite
forecast that the legislation would
not fail at this session Of Congress-.
Confidence that the Senate bill,
containing the $1,000 maximum an.
nuity, ultimately would be &C.
cepted by the House conferees in
a modified form was expressed. The
conferees will hold their second
meeting at o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.

To SEA I
WILSON
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES

A militant campaign to
seat William B. Wilson, Demo
crat, as "the legally elected"
Senator from Pennsylvania in
the Seventeen Congress has
been agreed upon by a group
of national Democratic lead
ers, it was learned here today.
The Democrats expect, and
will get, the support of a ma
jority of the Republican-Insur-
gents in all probability. The
Democrats and Insurgents can
control the Seventeen Con-
gress whenever they get to-
gether.
After Bigger Game
A week ago the Democrats were
talking of denying a seat to VIII
liam S. Ware, or of expelling him
after being seated, because of
his expenditures in the Republican
primary. If successful this would
create a vacancy which would os-
tensibly be filled by the appoint
ment of another Republican. But
now, after reviewing the election,
they plan to go after bigger
game-the seating of Wilson.
Constitution Is Involved
The change in Democratic tactics
is due in large measure to the con-
troversy provoked over the consti-
tutienal aspects of the question.
The Constitution provides a Sen
ator may be denied his seat by a
majority vote, but to expel him
requires a two.thirds vote.
Authorities on the Constitution
differ widely as to the Droper pro.
cedure to be invoked against Ware.
The Democrats, aided by the
counsel of some of the republican
insurgents, have decided to walk
right around this controversy and
make fight on the legality Of
Wares election on November 9,
which would bring the question be.

QUESTIONED ON PRINTS

McCarter asked if the finger
print impression left by a man
who gripped a gun, or pulled
out a safe door would not be,
stronger than that left by a
person who picked up a cali

"No. it would not, /" replied
Schwartz.
McCarter asked if it were
not essential that fingerprints
be devolved at the earliest
possible moment after they
are found at the scene OF a
crime.

Absolutely" replied Schwartz.
IF a card found at the scene of
a crime had lain tthere for day
