New York Garden didn't tear down

was first estimated after the wreck
age was being inspected. @
1t seems that out of that first wreck
of his pet elimination tournament. a
little elimination designed to produce
someone capable of standing on his
feet when Gene Tunney4 walks out OF
the ring the next time, a newer and a
better elimination has arisen. s5
Rickard aided by the celebrated six
day bike producer, John Chapman, who
sits in the Texans Garden chair when
the Texan is not sitting there, pro-
duced another elimination tournament
while the ranking chair holder was
enjoying the coldest weather in SO
years in Florida.
Chapman persuaded the board OF
managers of Tom Heeney, which nurn-
bers only few less than the board
in control of Pauline, that 1t would
be well for Heeney's future to con-
slider a young person named Oville

great scarcity of drillers in this area

that he was anxious to rush the work
on the well so that the ice making

operation before warm weather starts.

The proposed traction merger
would establish a permanent mo-
nopoly sof local street car and bus
facilities. Public Utilities Commits
sioner Harrison Brand, jr., admitted
today of the merger hearings before.
the House District Committee.
Brand qualified his statement by
saying that the new company would
not have monopoly on interstate
bus lines entering the District nor
on q subway system which might
be established in the future.
Most of the hearing today was
taken up with a technical discus
sion of depreciation and deprecia,
ton methods. Representative Ernest
w. Gibson of Vermont took up the
attack on the $50 1000, 900 valuation
in the proposed merger plan.
Brand, again the only witness,
continued his defense of the valua-
ton.
Harley p. Wilson, owner of the
Washington Rapid Transit Com
pany, and author of the merger
plan, appeared at the. hearings to-
day for the first time. He only
sat in for few minutes toward
the close of the session.
Mr.. Wilson today asked Senator
Capper, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, for prompt
consideration" of his proposal i'm
the Senate.
His conference with the Kansas
Senator was the result of appre-
hension on the part of the merger
supporters that the Senate District
Committee will delay merger hear
Congress to act upon the proposed
traction unification before adjourn
ment.
No Assurance Given
Senator Capper, it was learned,
did not give Mr., Wilson any assur-
ance of early hearings by the
Senate District Committee. He
pointed out that many meml ers of
the committee had other committee
assignments and were likely to be
extremely busy during the remain
ing weeks of the session.
The discussion of monopolies came
toward the end of the hearings.
Gibson asked if the merger would
give the new company monopoly
in local transportation. Brand
pointed out that it would not in
clude the interurban bus lines.
Subway Plan Discussed
Brand said he believed the Dis
trics government would have the
authority to establish subway sys.
