MILL

The divorce MilI'' in Ar.
lington county, Va, was
abolished today.
Circuit Judge Samuel G..
this morning signed an
order presented by State Sena-
tor Frank Z. Ball. as president
Of the Bar Association, chang
ing the divorce procedure
which, in effect, makes it i'm.
possible to obtain a divorce
until after a thorough in
vestigation of actual residence
in the county.
Commissioner In Charge
Hereafter all divorce cases will
be referred to a commissioner
who will inquire into first the
residence of the parties to the
action, and then into the facts
IN the case.
The commissioner then will re-
port to the court which then will
grant the divorce if the facts
warrant.
Scheme Proves Successful
Senator Ball said he presented the
order which Judge Brent signed, fol-

The fact that the Review is the
semi-official organ for the Baltimore
archdiocese, indicated to some that
publication of the notice presaged
a warning Of what is to come from
the church hierarchy concerning
dancing by Catholics.
On the other hand, some laymen
thought it could not be interpreted
as referring to dances given by
Catholic organizations, but merely
was another step in the direction
of formal disapproval of stage
dancing, similar to action taken
in disbanding the famous st. Pat.
rick's Players recently.
No word Of an official or even
unofficial nature has reached the
Washington Catholic clergy, but
c. w. Darr, prominent Catholic
layman, and a knight Of Columbus.
said he would take publication of
the notice in the Review as having
been inspired by Archbishop Curley

MERGER
Barred

Details Of Harley P. Wilson 5
secret plan for merging the
local street railway companies
began to leak out today.
The W as h ingtOn Times
learned that the plan IS q
combination OF the ssxstslns
now in effect if Boston and
Cleveland, under which the
street railways are operated
and controlled by the govern
ment, but owned by private In
tereStS.
Governed By 8
The Wilson plaA provides that
the local companies would be
merged and operated as a single
system by three trustees ap-
pointed by the District Commits
sioners.
Ownership of the companies
would be retained by the stock
holders, who would be guaranteed
z per cent return on their in
vestment.
Profits Guaranteed
In order to guarantee this per
cent return the fare would fluctuate
according to the returns Of the
system.
The Potomac Electric Power Com
pany will not be included in the
merger.
The trustees of the company would
have absolute control. They would
be able to abandon tracks and lay
new tracks Immediately If they de.
':tded it was in the public interest.
The Public Utilities Commissions
regulatory powers over the street
railways would be abolished. The
commission would continue to oper.
ate as a regulatory body for the
other utilities
Many View New Plan
At present, proponents of the plan
declare, authorities would face end
less litigation If they should recon-
mend shifting tracks from one street
to another, but under chs trustee
plan it could be ordered Immediately
il the public interest demanded.
Wilson. who is owner Of the Wash
ington Rapid Transit Company: di-
rector in the North American Com
pany Of New York City, and a direc-
tor OF the Washington halfway and
Electric Company, has submitted his
plan to half dozen leaders in the
Federation Of Citizens Assc Citations.
Among those to whom he has
submitted it are Jesse Suter, for
mer president of the Federation
and now a delegate from Takoma
Park: William NICK. Clayton, dele
gate from Brightwood and former
chairman of the Public Utilities
Committee of the Federation: Maj.
Clayton Emig, chairman Of the util-
tiles committee; George r. Wales,
Civil Service Commissioner and del
egate from Cathedral Heights; and
Charles I. Stengle, a delegate from
Petworth.
Refuses To Hear It
All Of these except Emig have
learned the details Of the plan at
luncheons with Wilson or his
counsel, William G.. McAdoo and
Brice Clagett during the week.
Emig refused to accept the invita-
lions. believing 1t might be mis-
construed by other delegates to the
Federation.
Major Emig is afraid that these
secret conferences will create dis.
sention in the federation which will
only delay consummation Of a
merger.
This Wilson plan is the same he
submitted recently in strictest con.
fidence to Chairman John w. Child
ress of the Public Utilities Com
mission, but withdrew to avoid fur
