Clayton read to the committee a.
section of the public utilities law,
prohibiting the capitalization of
merged company being set at a
higher figures than the total CAPT
talization of the companies to be
merged.
lie charged that the new traction
company would issue $33 100000
worth of stock as compared with
stock issues OF $27 100000 for the
Washington Railway and Electric
Co, and the Capital Traction Co.
$4,000, 900 "Watered"
He asserted that this will be
watered stock issue of $4,000, 900.
Public Utilities Commissioner Har-
rison Brand, jr., admitted that the
capitalization of the new company
would exceed the capitalization OF
the two existing companies, but
members of the committee ques-
toned Clayton's Interpretation of
the public utility law.
They pointed out that the total
indebtedness of the new company
would be about the same as the
present indebtedness of the two
companies.
Most of Clayton's estimony to-
dav was an appeal to the committee
not to approve the merger as long
az it includes a fixed valuation OF
$50 900, 900.
Proposes Changes
Representative Reid OF Illinois
asked clayton whether he would
rather take the merger as it stands
or nothing.
Clayton replied: 81 say thousand
times no. not to take it as It stands.
1t Is a company proposition.
Reid and the other members of
the committee asked Clayton how
he would amend 1t and he replied
that he would remove the fixed
valuation, provide definite assur-
ance that there will be rear
rangement of trackage and provide
for lowered fares for school children.
Reid contends that the committee
must either accept the plan as
agreed upon or reject it and have
no power TO amend or rewrite it,
He asked Clayton for his opinion
as to whether the committee could
change the plan and Clayton said
he thought the committee had the
right to rewrite it or amend it.
The Federation representative as
serted that at least 100000 organ
lied citizens of the District are
opposed to the plan as it stands
and want it amended.
Representative Frederick N Zihl-
man of Maryland. chairman, asked
Clayton If it would not be fair to
assume that new valuation would
give the companies a higher rate
base than $4,000, 900.
Clayton replied that he did not
think so because the $50 ,000,O
valuation was based on court
valuation of the Capital Traction
Company when the commission was
not in a position to defend itself.
I'VE want a valuation, not an
estimate" Clayton said.
Clayton charged that 1t was
fraud" to talk of merger as
unification OF the street car and
bus companies, because the Wash
ington Rapid Transit Company is
not included IN the merger.
He said the bus line will be
bought by the new company and
operated as separate entity on
higher fares than the street cars.
lie charged that Harley p. viii"
son. owner Of the bus COMPANY.
was leaving the minority stock
holders In that company stranded"
The rlan will work ouf In such \
way that these stockholders will be
wiped out" he said.

Home study is playing a most
important part in the education OF
the men and women of the United
States r. F.. Weeks. president OF
the National Home Study Council,

"WAR PAINT" PROVES
 THRILLER AT PALACE

The person, or persons, who picked Col. Tim Mccoy for | western film star should have a medal.
 At last the screen has a new face and figure which radiates personal magnetism and doubt less will attract thousands of film fans who are tired of looking at some of the old types of west ern heroes who depend largely on six-shooters and horses to put them across.
 Mccoy, young and goodlooking, has the appearance of one from the great open spaces" He looks western and acts western. He has a natural grace which ought to take the place of any lack of screen technique.
 In their search for a new west ern face M-G-M officials, are said to have discarded all the avail able screen italent about Holly wood and taken up the search elsewhere. They found Mccoy on his big Wyoming ranch---a gentleman rancher who had never dreamed of a career before the camera.
 The next job was to persuade him to give up ranching and take up acting. His first screen ap- pearance, in War Paint" which opened last night at the Palace. proves that M.G-M made no mis- take. He is ably supported by Pauline Starke, Karl Dane and a number of other well-known play CTS.

 "THE WALTZ DREAM"
 COMING TO PALACE

Vienna before the war. Be- witching, mad Vienna, with it's lighthearted gaiety. it's capricious disregard of the conventions, it's singing and it's waltzes, forms the background of charming, yet virile story. From royal palace, stately, regal and solemn, to the wine gardens of old Vienna, where love and wine and sing mingle gayly, the romance of Princess grows in "The Waltz Dream,' a new UFA film coming to the Pal ace for Thursday and Friday only
 "The Waltz Dream" was tie biggest hit of the New York the- atrical season some years ago on the legitimate stage. Many com panies sought vainly to secure the film rights. But Oscar Strauss, composer of the music, and Hans Mueller. who wrote the book, "Nux, the Prince Con sort" felt that cnly continental producer could do the theme jus tice. UFA accordingly achieved the privilege of transferring it to the screen.
 A lavish ,picture has resulted. A picture filled with sentiment and box office appeal. Previews have shown the American ra- sponse to this great romance. It packs powerful punch as a eli max to the love of a Princess for an Austrian officer, and the renunciation of her sweetheart by girl of the people.
