HOPE SEEN
SLIM FOR
MERGER

If the traction interests have
said their last word with re-
spect to merger legislation,
then the Wilson plan is about
to die a legislative death, ac-
cording to leaders in Congress.
Unless a new twist is given the
situation by the analysis Of the lat
est merger concessions, soon to De
made for the Senate by DIR. Milo y.
MaItbie and the Bureau OF Ell
cheney, a complete deadlock has
been reached, in the opinion OF mem.
bers Of the Senate District Commit
tee.
Few Still Hope
Several Senator's are inclined to
think that further negotiations or
attempts at compromise are useless.
but there is another group which
thinks that even the differences over
the $50, 900 900 valuation are not I'M
surmountable.
The Wilson. .Hanna-Ham reply on
behalf Of the traction companies,
made public yesterday, is not writ
ten ais an ultimatum and does not
close the door to further concessions.
in the opinion of this group.
The fact that the companies are
apparently ready to withdraw their
10-year guarantee clause, declare
themselves ready to accept revalu-
alton and grant other concessions, is
looked upon as indication that Dr.
Maltbie and the Senate District Conn
mittee will find the reply a much
more reasonable document that It
was at first thought to be.
Time Too Short
Despite this, however, there is a
general belief that the time re-
manning in the session Of Congress
is altogether too short to permit OF
an agreement being reached. Ger
| tain fundamental differences remain
to be bridged. It appears obvious
now that the way to a compromise
will be long and difficult. even if
l.Dr. Maltbie and the Bureau Of
Efficiency find substantial hope of
an agreement in the new turn
of affairs.
The Senate public utilities sub
committee will be called together
this week If the replies to the
Harley p. Wilson statement come
in. 1t is a certainty that II DR..
Maltbie finds the proffer of con-
cessions unsatisfactory, the issue
will be closed so far as the Senate
is concerned.

HORDES SEE K
new TAGS

Seeking to avoid arrest when they
operate their automobiles after mid
night tonight. several thousand
motorists stormed the District Build.
ing today to purchase 1929 auto
mobile license tags.
Wade Coombs, superintendent of
licenses, predicted that before he
closed his office this afternoon APP
proximateIy 5000 tags would have
been sold. Very few motorists will
be found mapping when police launch
their drive against motorists driving
with old license tags.
Since the tags were placed on
sale December approximately
81 900 have purchased them, Coombs
said. This number will probably be
swelled to between $4,000 and $4,000
before 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, he
declared.
Everyone in the District Building

on il they want to buy the tags,

Girls are harder TO control than
boys. according to figures given ont
yesterday by the Children's Bureau,
which show that of 28,S37 delin.
quency cases reported during the
last fiscal year, 27 per cent of the
girls were ''ungovernable or beyond
parental control as compared with
per cent Of the boys.
The majority of cases brought
before the juvenile courts involved
boys and girls between the ages OF
IA and IS, and according to the
recorded offenses the boys and girls
present quite different problems.
Statistics of the Children's Bureau
reveal that two-thirds Of the boys
were charged with stealing or with
acts of carelessness or mischief,
while three fourtbs of the girls were
charged with 'truancy," running
away" uneovernable' and sex

ported represents 25,456 children.
OF this number "a per cent were

Damrosch was questioned as to

plan. He replied that 1t was only
proper that the Capital of the
United States should have such an
institution.
Washington, the Capital cf the
have a symphonic orchestra of its
own. It is perhaps the only capital
in the world that has any claims to
civilization. that does not possess
such an important part OF musical
culture" he wrote
THE first necessity, of course,
would be to finance such an institu.
tion properly. and then to find a
conductor who combines sound
musical knowledge and enthusiasm:
with the power of directing and
training an orchestra. These are
all matters which will demand the
interest of the best minds in your
