ADVISORY COUNCIL
HITS ONE IMAM CARS
Extension of ConductorIeSs
Trolley Plan Opposed by
Citizens Group.

The Citizens Advisory Council last
night joined the ranks of protestants
against the extended use of one-man
street cars in the District.
The council registered its opposi-
tr1, most vehemently by adopting,
without dissenting vote. a motion
of Kenneth p. Armstrong, which re-
quests the Public Utilities Commission
to adhere strictly to the policy Of the
former commission in refusing to per-
NIT an increase in the number of the
conductorless cars in service at the
present time. The fundamental mo-
tive behind this action is to allow
the car companies to replace the old
one-man cars now in operation with
those of the more modern type, but
to continue in force the restriction on
the total number now in service.
All Phases Discussed.
Every phase of the one.man car
question was discussed thoroughly be-
fore the council acted. The economic
factor was given special Considera.
ton. but the ultimate conclusion
reached was that the solution of the
financial difficulties of the car COM
panies lies in a merger and not in an
increased operation Of the conductor
less cars.
A report on the one man car prob
lem prepared by Mr.. Armstrong,
which also was adopted, pointed out
that ii is not apparent that the
opposition to the conductorless cars
has lessened since the former Utili-
ties Commission announced its poll
icy to restrict the use of this type
of car.
The report likewise expressed
doubt as TO the arguments of the
advocates of the one-man cars that
the newer type would attract addi-
tional patronage. In fact, it spe-
cifically declared that the statement
of the Washington Railway and
Electric Co. that % per cent in
crease in patronage had resulted on
the Wisconsin avenue line since the
introduction of the new type one
man cars lis not convincing" as the
service prior to that period was in
ferior.
Hege Opens Discussion.
The Armstrong report further ex-
planned that the 80 new type one
man cars which the Washington
Railway and Electric Co. proposes
to purchase would cost $4,000 more
each than new two-man cars. The
company, however, it pointed out,
would save about $4,000 a year on
each of these cars in operating ex-
penses by having the motorman
serve as conductor also.
The discussion of the one-man car
question was opened by Edwin S.
Hege, who read statistics showing
the results of conductorless car 'eX-
periments in other cities Mr.. Hege
also related observations he had made
during a three.hour ride yesterday on
one-man cars plying between Dupont
Circle and the business district.
Contrary to popular belief that the
one-man cars slow down operating
schedules, Mr.. Hege said, he found
that in most cases conductorless cars
on which he rode frequently crowded
the two-man cars ahead. Mr.. Hege
emphasized, however, that his obser
vations were made during a non-rush
period, and there undoubtedly would
be some delay when the motorman-
conductor is required to make change
and issue transfers to large number
of passengers.

By United Press
ST. JOSEPH, Mich, July 18.-
The last chapter of the State of
Michigan's attempt to dissolve the
famous House of David religious
colony will be started today when
the defense begins its attempt to
prove the coloney is not nuisance.
Foremost among defense witnesses
will be king Benjamin" Purnell.
Purnell has been i'll since he was ar
rested last fall, but w. j. Barnard,
defense counsel, asserts that he as
suredly will take the stand.
He may even be brought in on a
stretcher," Barnard said.
Purnell is a greatly wasted man.
When he was leader of the colony,
with more than 1000 members, he
was physical giant. Now his
cheeks are shrurken and he~i very
weak.
Purnell is expected to give testi-
rlony in refutation of charges made
by young members of the colony
that he forced intimacies on them
as one of the rites Of the religious
sect. Almost score of women ap-
peared for the State and so testified.

After three days of fruitless drag-
ging for the bodies of two runaway
boys who may have been drowned
in Pleasant Run near White River
police are continuing the search In
the belief that the bodies will rise
TO the surface today, II they are m
the water.
The boys, George White. IS, 623
s. Senate Ave. and George Petero.
II, 1924 s. Illinois st., have not been
heard from since leaving their
homes Thursday with indications
they intended to go to California
or Whites uncle's farm in Kentucky.
Gilbert Weiss, 6142 Crittenden Pl..
inventor of an underwater light,
which has been used to recover sew
enteen out OF eighteen drowned
bodies searched for in four years,
today took his equipment to the
river and joined the search. Weiss
is to be deputized soon by Coroner
Keever.
A bicycle, shirt. shoes and one
stocking found at the waters edge
have been identified by Whites
mother as belonging to her son. The
clothing was worn by him at the
time he disappeared from home.
Police believe 1t was hastily pulled
of by White before plunging into
the water to save his young COM
panion.
What happened then is a secret
closely guarded by the shallow creek
waters and adjacent White River.
Footprints Found
Footprints and the marks Of a
bicycle being pushed along for
several hundred yards through
marshy ground to the edge Of the
stream started the search for the
boys.
When discovered, the two sets OF
footprints we're believed to have been
left by a man and a boy. The
larger tracks led away from the
stream, on the opposite side, but the
smaller barefoot prints ended at the
water.
May Have Fled
Police believe the larger tracks
may have been made by White and
the smaller by Petero. After making
an effort to save his friend, White
may have left the scene. This theory
accounts for the tracks leading UP o
steep bank away from the water.
The tracks appear to have been
made by some one with shoes on,
however, and Whites shoes have
been found.
1t was first believed that the
smaller prints led into quicksand.
but police investigation has failed
to find any in the vicinity, although
several places are extremely
swampy.
Pleasant Run Is shallow at this
point and police believe the bodies
may have beeen carried into White
River by the current.
