Many cases Of alleged discrin1lna.

Architect, Albert L. Harris, In draft
ing specifications for bricks In Dis
trict schools, were described to the
Gibson subcommittee of the House

bricks used by Harris during recent
years which he claimed were writ.

strict free bidding.
In 1922, Stringer testified; Harris
awarded q contract for the brick for
the Langley Esarland school I'd
the United Clay Products Company
on q brick which had never before
been used by the District and on
bid considerably higher than his
own.
This Wa one Dc about 4 dozen
incidents related to the COMMITTEES
BY Stringer, today, in all OF which
he claimed that Harris had shown
discrimination and prejudice I'M
writing specifications and judging
brick samples, thereby preventing
his company from doing business
with the local government.
He told OF one instance i'm which
he had complained that he was not:
given any consideration and that
Engineer Commissioner y Franklin
Bell had ordered Harris to let him
know before bids were made which
kind Of bricks would be acceptable
and. further, that Hurts had never
complied with that order.
The committee decided to continue
the brick investigation tomorrow

neers had lost their jobs after they
had reported thefts at the hospital

Chairman Gibson observed that
the dismissal of these men was
conclusive evidence that witnesses

MARKET SIT [
ROW BLAZES

Fairgrounds and park versus
market is the contest now in full
swing, the prize being the Patterson
tract, at Florida Avenue and Fifth
Street Northeast Lieut.. Col. u. S..
Grant, Bird, director OF public build
ings and public parks, wants not
less than 80 acres of the tract and
the citizens of the section are back
of him. A group of commission
merchants want the land for a
market site. The trustees of the
Patterson tract want their price
which, SO far, Colonel Grant has been
unable to meet.
The District Commissioners and
the Zoning Commission have re-
ceived letters from G.. M. Kookogey,
president of the Trinidad Citizens
Assc .iation, charging that the COM
mission merchants are in collision
with the trustees of the property"
and that the market plan has so
many glaring features of complete
disregard for the interests of the
larger portion of the public that it
cannot stand searching investiga-
tion."
The battle for new market site
now in progress may develop into
battle of cabbages and potatoes
against butter and eggs, with the
opposing forces carrying their fight
into Congress. on the basis of whole
sale commission merchants being
hopelessly divided.
Charges were made today by
Salvatore Scalco, president OF the Ma.
tional Fruit Company, 921 Louisiana
| Ave. ~. w. that the group of COM
mission merchants who are dicker-
ing for the Patterson tract represent
only a minority of the commission

READY To FILE
MERGER PLAN

Washington's first street railway
merger plan having the support of
both the major transit companies
will be filed tomorrow with the Pub
lie Utilities Commission.
Months of negotiations and con-
ferences between officers of the
washington Railway and Electric
Company, the Capital Traction Com
pany and the Washington Rapid
Transit i Company have evolved a.
plan of unification which those close
to the merger situation believe will
be acceptable to the stockholders.
More than $4,000 words are re-
portion of which is DEVOTED to a de-
held by the several parties to the
proposed merger.
Accompanying the so-called merger
plan will be letter to the utilities
commission from Harley p. Wilson,
owner of the bus-~company and a
leading spirit in the recent merger
conferences. Mr.. Wilson will tell
the commission that the negotiations
have been in line with the commits
sion's suggestions to him. last fall.
He also will Incorporate his per-
sonaI argument as to why the new
merger plan should be approved.
Open hearings by the utilities
commission will likely begin ten
days from tomorrow. Civic organ
izations, commercial bodies, individ-
uals and the public generally will
be invited to appear and give their
views.
Other hearings will probably be
held after the merger plan is ac-
cepted, so that the new company
may learn what changes in service
the different communities want. Re-
routing of cars, consolidation of lines
and other changes wilI--be discussed.

While the Republican and Demo-

into action Elder RanSe Woodbine

know soon who the next President
will be.
For Woodbine's presidential rose
which blooms but once every four

blooms crimson Herbert Hoover will
be elected and If it is white Alfred
E. Smith will be the next President,
according to tradition.
For forty years this rose bush has
puzzled botaniStS. Once every four
years it blooms and it's quadrennial
blooming occurs only in preSiden-
tial election years. This in itself
mas puzzled scientists.
The great mystery, however, is
the coloring of the fragrant roses
when they do blossom forth. The

yelling of the natives and the beat
