'MANUS GIVES Up;
HELD WITHOUT BAIL
Arraigned on rst-Degree
Murder Charge in Death
of RothStein.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 27.-George
McManus, whose overcoat was found in
the hotel room in which Arnold Roth
stein was fatally wounded, surrendered
today after police had sought him for
three weeks in vain. He was arraigned
this afternoon on short affidavit
charging him with murder in the first
degree and ordered held without bail.
Hearing was set for Friday after Nc
Manus pleaded not guilty.
The first announcement that Nc
Manus was in custody indicated that
detectives had picked him up in a
Bronx street, but it developed that Nc
ManuS had arranged the meeting and
was accompanied by his lawyer.
Questioned by Banton.
He was taken to the district attor-
ney's Office, where he was questioned by
District Attorney Banton. On the ad-
vice of his counsel, James Murray, he
refused to answer questions. Banton
arraigned him before General Session
Judge Mancusco on the murder charge
Rothstein was shot in a room at the
Park Central Hotel, to which he went
on November 4 after receiving tele-
phene~ invitation from some one who
said he was McManuS. McManuS had
long been an intimate friend of the
gambler, and the first police theory was
that he had invited Rothstein into the
hotel room in the rcle of peacemaker in
an effort to settle differences arising out
of card game at which RothStein gave
I. o. US for more than 100000, which
he later refused to honor.
Overcoat Found.
When police first entered the hotel
room after the shooting they found an
overcoat with McManuS' name in it
but when they went to his home they
found that he had disappeared and
they had sought him since in vain. Five
other men were held in connection with
the investigation of the shooting yes
terday, but no charges have been placed
against them, it being announced that
they were wanted merely as material
witnesses.
Three shadowy figures-one Of them
a woman-loomed today in the grand
jury investigation of the Rothstein case.
Their identity is hidden under legal
phraseology as Jane Doe, John Doe
and Richard Roe"
The first intimation that a woman
was suspected of having had a hand
in the Staying of Rothstein was con-
tained in a document filed late yester-
day when the State asked the deten-
ton as material witnesses of five friends
Of the slain gambler.
1t was headed: "The people of the
State of New York against Jane Doe,
John Doe and Richard Roe"
"Yes, there is woman in the case
and she is very important" said Dis

TRENTON, N. j., November 27,-
Gloria Caruso, young daughter of the
late Enrico CaruSo, was today awarded
two-thirds of the royalties, now esti-
mated to approximate $1,O00,000. from
the reproduction of her fathers voice
on Victor talking machine records, not
withstanding that by decree of the
Italian courts Gloria was awarded only
one-half of the New Jersey estate.
The remaining one-third Of the estate
was divided among Mrs. Dorothy P. B.
Caruso, Giovanni Caruso, brother of
the late tenor; Enrico CaruSo, jr., and
Rodolpho CaruSo. two sons. under a
ruling of a vice chancellor.
Disposition of the New Jersey estate
has been in litigation for several years.
In former decree the chancellor. pend
ing outcome of the partition proceed
ings, fixed an annual allowance Of
$4,000 for Gloria.
The italian decree was questioned by
the Victor Co.. which asked a ruling
by the New Jersey courts on its legality.

RETIREMENT LAW
ACTION HELD SURE
DaIe-LehIbaCk Civil Service
Bill Believed Due for
Early Consideration.

Early action in the coming short
session of Congress on the Dale-Lehl-
bach bill to liberalize the civil service
retirement law seems assured, accord
ing to members of the rules and Civil
service committees as they return to
the Capitol.
The Dale bill has passed the Senate
and been substituted in the House for
the even more liberal Lehlbach bill.
Following hearings at which majority
of House members appeared in support
of the bill, Chairman Lehlbach of the
civil service committe appeared be-
fore the rules committe. urging lat
a special rule be reportet. living this
legislation preferential status for ac-
ton In the House This rule was
ordered by the rules committee, but
never called up in the House by Chair
man Smell, owing to a reluctance on the
part of President Coolidge to have the
measure passed at that time.
While Chairman Smell refuses to make
a statement regarding the prospects OF
the retirement bill at this session, it is
stated by other members of the COM
mittee who have been in conference
with him that he Will do nothing to
impede passage of the liberal.zed meas
ure and that it will come up early in
the session.
Those who have been pressing the
measure have heard no outspoken op-
position: and with practically the en-
tire membership of the House on record
in the hearings as urging its passage,
there seems little doubt but that it will
pass by acclamatiGn, it is said.
Early next week the Joint committee
on retirement, representing the various
branches of Government employees, is to
confer with Chairman Lehlbach and
other members of the House civil service
committee.

GAS RETALIATION
DISMISSAL ASKED
FIeharty Wants Company to
Abandon Appeal From
1917 Ruling.

Peoples Counsel Ralph B. Fleharty
moved today to dismiss the application
of the Washington Gas Light Co., for
a revaluation of its property unless the
company would agree to abandon its
appeal from the first valuation made In
1917 now before the District Supreme
Court.
Fleharty's motion led to heated dis
cussion among lawyers for the company
and the commission and Chairman
John w. Childress of the commission
at one point threatened to start the
whole proceeding over from the begin
ming and give Byers NICK. Bachman,
commission accountant, time to make
an investigation of the company's books
from 1848 to date before being called
to testify.
Decision on Fleharty's motion was re-
served and referred to Corporation
Counsel william W. Bride, the commits
sion's general counsel for decision.
Fight Bachman Testimony.
Attorneys for the gas company
earlier in the day made determined ef-
fort to withdraw from the records OF
the hearing before the Public Utilities
on the company'S valuation, all teSti-
mony by Bachman, who testified yes
terday that he set the value of the
plant at $12,896003. r. O. Luqueer,
first witness for the company, had es-
timated $27 ,444810. The commission
reserved its decision on the protest.
When Mr.. Bachman completed his
Il IN hiCfn
of the gas company, Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Robert E. Lynch moved
to have Bachman's report entered into
the record as an exhibit.
George B. Hoover of counsel for the
company objected to the report being
received His objection was based on
the fact that the report took as its
starting point January /, 1914, and re-
lied for its information on the years
prior to this date on an investigation
made by Andrew Sangster, an account
ant employed by the commission in 1914
to assist in making a valuation OF the
company.
Mr. Hoover said that there were GER
tain infirmities in the report which the
company desired to attack and which
they were debarred from doing by rea-
son of the fact that Mr.. Sangster had
not been produced in person to testify
concerning his report He objected on
the further ground that Bachman'S
analysis of the historic" cost of es-
tabliShing the company was made in
part on an investigation of the books
and in part on certain deductions made
from independent investigations. This
composite character of the report made
it Objectionable. he said.
Lynch, in arguing the point, said
that the Court of Appeals had ruled
that a physician could probably testify
to the condition of the patient by using
information given him by the patient
even when the patient could not be
produced in court for croSs-examina-
tion Mr.. Hoover held that the cases
were not at all parallel.
Lieut.. Col. Harrison Brand, jr., vice
chairman of the commission, said that
the Sangster report had been adopted
by the commission as part of its formal
order in the valuation case of the COM
pany in 1917.

WaShington'S two street railway COM
panies will object to being required to

tension of the Capitol Grounds to

Passed by House.
The bill passed the House at the last
session and is to be taken up by the
Senate committee at this session.
1t was learned also today that the
companies do not regard the routes
that would result from the track
changes in the vicinity of the Capitol
as the most satisfactory that could be
arranged, and conference is in prog
ress, this afternoon between company
engineers and j. L. Parsons of Chicago,
member of the firm. which designed
the proposed plaza parkway.
Under the plan now pending car
tracks would be taken off of Delaware
avenue between the station and the
Capitol and moved to First street
northeast Tracks also would be re-
moved from B street between Delaware
avenue and First street northeast.
Existing tracks on G street would be
lowered into tunnel in order to give
a clear vision from the Capitol to
Union Station and extended east on C
street to First street. east. 1t Is under
stood the companies are somewhat con-
cerned about working out the grade at
which the cars would enter and leave
the Sunken paSSageway below G street.
They also have suggested that the
tracks now on B street could be ex-
tended west to First street west to better
advantage.
Benefits Denied.
With regard to the question of cost.
officials of the companies take the
position that the Plaza project is pri-
marily for the Identification of the
Capitol and they contend that the
track changes will not benefit the car
riders.
For these reasons. they argue. the
cost should not be assessed against the
companies. They point out that the
Improvement is a Federal project.
They explained that they are not
opposing plans of the Government to
beautify Washington, but felt they
should not be assessed the cost of NOV
ing tracks for that purpose.
officials of the companies have made
known their view of this problem to
