RAISE
DENIAL
SEEN

A ray Of hope was seen 10
day in reports from the Of
ficers Of the Public Utilities
Commission that the 10 cents
fare sought by the Capital
Traction Company will be de-
MED.
Col. Harrison Brand, jr., appears
to hold the deciding vote. Since ne
holds recess appointment which
must be confirmed by the Senate
he faces an awkward situation.
Many Senators have prot 3 ted
against the fare increase.
Col. william B. Ladue, member
of the commission, has been and
is opposed to any increase in fare
at this time. it is rumored, while
John w. Childress, is for an in
crease.
Indications today were that when
the commission meets this after
noon to resume consideration OF
the traction eompany.s petition for
A higher fare Colonel Brand will
vote with Colonel Ladue.
That the commission has de-
termined on making an early end
OF the matter is Indicated by the
fact that no more legal advice
has been sought from their General
Counsel, w. w. Bride.
Following q settlement OF the
matter the commission proposes to
issue a detailed statement setting
forth its reason for denying an
increase.

Establishment of modern

pitfalls of Washington, to ex-
tend the benefits of install
ment plans to the middle
classes, is the aim of a CAM
paign begun today by Stephen
Fl. Takes, secretary of the As
ISOLATED Retail Credit Men Of
Washington.
Mr.. Takes undertook the cam
paign at the instance of The
washington Times, which, in re.
cent editorials. urged local hospitals
to conduct such service for PEG,

penniless.
Extremes Cited
The Times expressed the opinion
editorially that the rich and the
poor get the best treatment, as far
as hospitals are concerned, while
the small wage-earner and his
family, who will not accept charity.
often go without necessary treat
ment because they have not enough
ready cash to pay large hospital
bills.
In the interest of this cause, Mr..
Takes stated today he was con-
Quoting a survey of hospital credit
systems, with the cooperation OF
the research department Of the Ma
tional Association Of Retail Credit
Men.
Comparisons Due
He is receiving from various
cities represented in the association

OF hospital credit offices.

stated, II intend to invite the
superintendents of the leading
Washington hospitals to a confer
