Request of Conduit Road
Citizens.

The Public Utilities Commission will
hold q public hearing June IA in the

consider position of the Conduit Road
and Foxhall Citizens Associations for an
extension of the Foxhall Village motor
bus line of the Washington Railway &,
Electric Co. from its present terminus
at Thirty-fift street and Conduit road

The chief barrier to such an extern

the fact that the line was started under

agreed with the railway company to
make good any losses in operation No
losses have occurred for several months,
however.
Recently the car company refused to
agree to an extension and the citizens
associations responded with a petition

AGED INVENTOR AT LAST
WILL GET HIS RIGHTS
George Campbell Carson, in Twi-
g.. light OF Life, Will Have
Many Millions.

San Francisco, Nov. 20 ga
quest for wealth which started in
boyhood began to bear fruit today
for George Campbell Carson. who
grubbed the desert for nearly 80
years in a vain search for gold and
then in the evening of life invented
reverberated copper smelling fur
mace which at last promises to make
him millionaire.
The first returns to Carson for his
invention were announced here yes
tcrday when his attorneys said the
United Verde Copper company had
made settlement in the suit which
he brought charging infringement of
patent. The amount of the settle
ment was not made known, but it
was announced that the company
had taken out license for future
use OF the Carson furnace.
Almost simultaneously came word
from Tucson, Ariz., that judgment
had been entered in his favor in a
suit against the Phelps Dodge Cor
poration and the Calumet and Ari-
IONA Mining company. The court did
not fix the amount of damages In
the latter case, which also involved
the use of the reverberatory fur
mace, but an accounting was order
ed.
These three suits were among q
series OF legal actions filed three
years ago against the copper COM
panies. Carson recently was award
ed a favora Bile decision against the
Anaconda Copper Mining company
in the United States supreme court.
Although the amount of money
accruing TO the old prospector and
his associates cannot be computed In
exact figures. it is said that the total
will be between 100000 and $780,
600, 900.
