morrow morning, it was
learned today.
Allen was founi guilty by the

use of his revolver and conduct pref
judicial to the discipline and best
interests of the force.
Claims Trial Unfair
In his appeal Allen contended
that he had not been given a fair
and impartial trial and that the
verdict was contrary to the evil
dence. He has been on regular
duty pending decision on his appeal.
While the Commissioners decline
to comment other than to state that
the transcript of testimony has been

Strong support has been brought

EXPERTS Of
P.(I. c. To
F IGH I:
MOVE

The Capital Traction Com
pany will ask for an increase
in car fares from the present
rate to 10 cents within the
next two weeks, it was indi-
Gated at the District Building
today.
Although the application will be
made and the company will en-
deavor to show on a basis of loss
in the number of revenue pas
sengers carried in the past year
that an increase is justified, experts
of the Public Utilities Commission
will fight such an increase to the
last ditch.
Earnings Have Sagged
1t is conceded by commission ex.
perts that the company is not at
this time earning a fair return of Z
per cent on its investment and that
the earnings under the present
operations will no doubt fall off
perceptibly in the next few months.
An increased fare would mean ad.
ditional losses to the company it :s
believed by commission experts, in
the fact that additional revenue
passengers would be driven from
the cars to busses or private auto
mobiles.
Several solutions have been ad-
vanced and will be suggested to the
Utilities Con. issioners by the COM
mission experts who have been
studying conditions for some months
past, anticipating an application for
a higher fare.
Skeleton Schedules
OF the suggestions so far advanced
the most feasible one is that of cut.
ting the present schedule in the dull
hours of the day. That is to say,
where the schedule is now two min
utes it could be reduced to one car
on certain routes every five minutes
and in the more sparsely settled
sectii rs car every seven or ten
minutes.
This cut in schedule, which can
be put in effect by the commission
at any time, takes much of the
rolling stock now operated at a
loss on every trip off the line. A
reduction in power consumed, men
employed, and wear and tear on
equipment would result in an
enormous saving each year, the ex-
perts agree.
May Save Output
The saving on such a method, 1t
is believed, would mean that at the
present number of passengers car
ried the companies could and would
earn a fair return on investments.
A scent fare, which Is not very
likely, would in the opinion of
several employees of the commits
sion, earn the companies a better
return than the present fare due
to an almost certain increase in
the number of revenue passengers
who would be attracted to the street
cars rather than their own ma
chimes.
The old question of zoning the
District is also being considered,
but such plan being Instituted is
not believed to be likely.
