bin was flied by the Washington
Railway and Electric Company to.
dav and the court agreed to hear
arguments on the motion sinnultane.
ously with arguments on the Dill
itself.
Judge Appears Jovial
Attorneys in the case on both
sides appeared to be rather nervous.
They seemed to keep their distance
az they measured each other for the
second battle Of the merger.
The tenseness OF the atmosphere
was checked by the manner Of
Justice Gordon. when he jovially
told ]. d. Sullivan and 8. r. Bowen,
Opposing counsel, to take - min.
utes outside Of the courtroom 70
settle what Sullivan had termed IN
unjust implication.
The incident came about JUST az
the case was called. Sullivan asked
that the hearing be set at the
courts convenience, but that no
unnecessary delay be allowed.
Bowen declared that he was ready
to proceed Immediately. H0 De.
cIared that the bill Of the plaintiff
was intended only to obstruct the
approval OF the merger in Congress
and cautioned the court against
dilatory tactics on the part OF the
plaintiff.
sullivan Ileatedly resented what he
termed an unfair Implication. saying
that Bowen had Just two days ago
approached him and asked that he
be allowed continuance of one week.
81 suggest that you gentlemen
take IS minutes outside and settle
it," Gordon remarked.
Vague Details Charged
Both attorneys smiled sheepishly
and the court proceeded. The mo-
ton filed by Bowen and John S. Bar

junction on the ground that the bill
is not candid in its disclosure OF all
the facts. in that 1t fails to state
that the unincation agreement Is
proposed subject to the approval OF
Congress and pursuant to the pro-
visions OF the act Of March 4, 1925.
It also declares that the bill is
prematurely filed and is intended
only to obstruct railway companies
operating in the District and Con-
gress from giving effect to the act
of March 4,
The defendants also complained
that the bill does not show that the
railway company has violated the
provisions of section Of the act.

There is no provision OF law

The Senate split yesterday on the
issue. when Senator Curtis, major
ity leader. rejected Senator Phipps'
final plea to carry the fight with
the House to a conclusion. Senator
Curtis declared il was the Eenate's
duty" to accept the House man
date.
Friends Desert
In the face Of such a pronounce.
ment the lines OF District sup.
porters in the Senate broke badly,
and the vote was so to Fl in favor
of an immediate acceptance of the
conference report, with the lumn
sum provision included.
Earlier in the day the House had
determined, 2S6 to 55. TO stand by
it's conferees. and 1t became clear
that the lump sum champions OF
that body were more completely in
control of the situation than ever
before.
The reverse suffered by the Dis.
trict in this action by Congress may
have a silver lining. There is rea-
son to believe that an effort to enact
permanent legislation affecting the
fiscal relationship of the Federal and
District governments will be at
tempted in the next Congress.

DEATH CLAIMS LIFE
 OF CHICAGO INFANT Child, Kept Alive 58 Hours by Artificial Respira-
 ti0n, Succumbs

Chicago. Jan. 1t N - The 6s- hour fight of six Chicago hremen and skilled obstetricians to keep life in the body of 13-day-old baby George Smith through artificial respiration and blood transfusion has failed.
 The baby died last night just as the tireless firemen and physicians were confident they had won. With out warning. the little body sudden ly twitched and the heart stopped. Snatching the infant from what seemed certain death last Wednes- day the workers used 56 tanks of oxygen. valued at s1.l00. and the mother. Mrs Joseph Smith. sub mitted to two blood transfusions in 1 the desperate effort to save the baby.
 When the baby was born, it was found to be suffering acutely from yellow jaundice. Saturday an opera tion was performed at the Smith home, but the baby failed to re. spond and appeared lifeless. Then the firemen with their lungmotor were called. After . few hosrs Are. men and obstetrtciana famed the tiny spark of life until the baby seemed out of danger. Several times the end seemed 1n- evitable, but each time the infant rallied to the treatment of oxygen. Then the mother gave her blood, more oxygen was administered and again the battle appeared to have been won. Once the child cried viz orously.
 Then, without warning, the end came last night. In . futile effort to save the child, adrenalin was in- jected into the muscles of the heart. Dr. Hyman Brown said death was caused by heart disease. sec. ondary to respiratory failure. The mother left the hospital shortly after the death was an- nounf d. The child was her first in IT years and had been born on New Years day.
