Senators Phipps, Jones, and Glass

with the House until the later
shows some retreat from its present
irreconciIable. incorporating at
titude.
Heading the group of House con-
ferees will be Representative Robert
G. Simmons of Nebraska, chairman
of the District subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Committee.
Simmons is a bitter opponent of the
-6O.40 plan and he Is backed up by
the chairman Of the appropriations
committee, Representative Martin B.
Madden of Illinois.
simmons will also be supported
in his fight by an almost unanimous
sentiment in the House. The two
branches of Congress have rarely
been SO widely split on questions of
poIicy-even on national problems
as they are on this one.
When the fiscal relationship quas.
ton was up in the House, Repre-
sentative Frederick N. Zihlman of
Maryland, chairman of the House
District Committee was the only
member who waged a fight against
the $4,000, 900 lump sum contribu-
ton. He received the support Of
only a handful of votes.
The Senate attitude-s0 far as
the Republican leaders are con-
cerned-is elastic. Senator SmOOt
Is not certain that the 6O-4O ratio
should be restored. but he has a
definite conviction that the Federal
contribution to District revenues
should be larger than $4,000, 900.

hearings, to begin April 10.
Hotels, taxicab owners and
drivers. owners Of private property
and citizens organizations are IN

show cause why the Commissioners
should not:
1. Abolish all or the present taxi
cab and hack stands and the regu-
lations governing the same.
2. Establish 1g9 public stands to

pared to hold the District bill up
for an indefinite period If necessary.
They are assured they can force the
House into an untenable position
by their compromise tactics.
The spirited debate in the Senate
yesterday on the 60.40 provision
brought a yelled charge from Sena-
tor Caraway that certain Senator'S
who are heavy property.holders in
the District were favoring the pro-
vision because is would tighten their
own burden OF taxation in the city.
Senator Phipps paid no attention to
the accusation.
The hard fight that the Woman's
bureau is making to hold control
OF children under II years OF age
who are taken into custody is in.

Smoot has forced the Appropria.

nearing on the subject. The Senate
amendment places the control Of
these children in the Board Of Pub
lie Welfare.

BANS POOLS

The proposal Of the Department
Of Public Buildings and Parks to
convert the two large abandoned
Sixteenth Street water reservoirs
into swimming pools win be vigor-
ousyl opposed by J. 8. Garland. su.
rerintendent of the District water
works system.
Garland today declared that the
two reservoirs occupy the finest
piece Of property on Sixteenth
Street and that while they are held
in the name of the District of Co
lumbia they are really owned by the
Water Department.
Sale of the property in question
is advocated by the superintendent,

provements and extensions to the
water system.
The two reservoirs are each Ala
feet long and 900 feet wide, and
were built by Mr.. Garland % years
ago. Their abandonment recently
followed the opening of the new
reservoir on Conduit Road.
Garland today said that the plan
to take the basins and convert them
into swimming pools is nonsense"
that 1t would be impossible to keep
them from being a nuisance for
residents along fashionable Sixteenth
Street.

MERGER FACES
|. DELAY To NEXT
CONGRESS

Apprehension that the Harley r.
Wilson traction merger plan will be
raiIroaded through Congress in the
closing weeks Of the session was
set at rest today.
The chances of, its passage before
Congress adjourns in the course OF
the next eight weeks are so remote
as to be almost negligible, accord
ing to opinions expressed today by
Senate leaders.
Members of the Senate District
Committee do not desire to be put
In the position of foreclosing the
merger issue, but they take this at
titude:
That extensive hearings on the
issue must be held, particularly
with reference to the valuation ques.
ton.
That expert advice from disinter.
ested sources must be had to sup.
plen1ent the ex parte statements
made by the supporters and oppo-
nents of the Wilson plan.
The work of the Public Utilities
Commission ON the merger issue
must be carefully checked at every
point. Complaints have been made
to Senators that the Commissioners
did not give adequate consideration
to certain objections raised to the
proposed consolidation.
No hasty conclusions must be
reached by the Senate District Com.
mittee in view of the Importance OF
the settlement to the future of the
city. and all sides must be given a
full hearing.
Capper's Attitude
II am not going to PREJUDICE the
merger issue now" said Senator
Capper, chairman of the Senate Dis.
trict Committee, today. II have
already made it known. however.
that the District Committee will hold
fun hearings and will not permit
itself to be hurried.
Hearings take time. am not
prepared to say now that we will
even be in a position to report a
plan to the Senate before adjourn
ment. OF course, there is going to
be a vast amount of national lecisla.
ton before the Senate in the closing
weeks, and it would be a fooIhardv
prophet who would say that we
could even obtain an agreement
from the Steering Committee to
have the merger put on the legisIa.
tive program under such conditions
of congestion"
Senator King, ranking minority
member OF the committee, who al
ways has taken an active interest
In traction problems here, also ex.
pressed the view that pressure of
legislation in the Senate undoubt.
ediy would prevent the merger from
getting consideration on the floor.
Many Non CommittaI
Senator King, however, made it
clear that he has taken no final
position with reference to the Will.
son plan, and does not know how
ne will vote upon it.
Other members of the Senate Dis.
trict Committee, including Senators
Edwards, Bruce and Glass, are non
comm1ttal as to the merger plan
itself. Their attitude is, however,
that only under unusual conditions
can such an important anu con-
troversial matter as traction con-
solidation be brought to a vote in
the closing weeks Of such a session
as the present one.
On all sides it is admitted that
the opposition to the Wilson plan
will be strong, especially among
members of the sO-calIed liberal bloc
on both sides Of the chamber.

Thomas L. BIanton of Texas, will
be given one hour and 90 minutes

Animus on the part of the Skinker
Motor Company toward orville
Staples. First precinct policeman
who is being tried on serious charges
before the Police Trial Board, was
testified to today by Staples and his
wife.
Built for Rum
Walter Skinker, president of the
company, and Joseph Coolsey, sales
manager, have testified that Staples
asked him to build a liquor compart-
ment in his car with which to bring
liquor over the border from Canada.
They also alleged that Staples failed
to carry out a contract to buy a car.
The contract was produced i'm
court today and Mrs. Staples testi-
fled that 1t had been altered i'm two
places by the SlKinker people, rs
charged by BIant0n yesterday, when
he detected two different lIandwrit-
ings on the document.
Mrs. Staples, who signed the con-
tract. said 1t was an instrument by
which they agreed to accept $500
o. their old car as part payment
on a newer used car. The contract
had in addition a provision of a
$400 cash payment on the purchase
of a new car. Mrs. Staples said
that they could not afford new
car and had never contemplated
such a contract.
The Other Side
Staples, himself, testified to the
same and told the other side OF the
liquor compartment story. He said
that one day while Skinker was
trying to sell him a new car he
told him of his trip to Canada last
summer and that he (Skinker) had
brought back with him six bottles
of Canadian Club whisky.
The Knights of Columbus and the
Ku Klux Khan were again brought

Marie Waters, one of the prosecu-
tons star witnesses.
Blanton took the role of defender
of the knights of Columbus. When
williams mentioned the name OF the
knights Of Columbus to BramhaA'
BIanton arose and said:
