which speaks of much stage cX-
perience and Boyd De Hay contri-
buted to the humorous side of the
plot.
Martha Jenkins, acting as accom-
pianist during the performance,
proved herself an able and SympI
thetic accompaniSt and at all times
measured up to the demands of the
singer. The hiph school orchestra

$4,000 DAMAGE
|. FOLLOWS FIRE

More than a score OF men, women
and children ran to safety today
when flames threatened an apart.
ment house in the 1000 block Of Q
st. N. w.
Babies in arms were carried to
safety by their mothers. Their
screams added to the confusion as
firemen began to play streams of
water on the blazing structure.
Appeared Doomed
When the firenen first arrived
the flat seemed doomed. Smoke
was belching from windows and
flames were licking the walls and
furniture Of several apartments.
The first firemen to reach the
scene sent in a, second alarm. AS
soon as the re-enforcements arrived
the hurried efforts of the firefighters
began to bear fruit and the fire soon
was under control,
However, several companies stayed
on the job nearly three hours before
extinguishing the last embers.
Several hundred persons were 1T.
tracted to the fire. Police reserves
and detectives from headquarters
were summoned to maintain order.
Fire Department officials esti-
mated the damage at $4,000. 1t was
distributed among several families.
Although the flames first were
noticed spreading over frame
porches in the rear of the apart
ment house, the exact origin OF
the fire remained undetermined.

MPAN|ES ASK
10-CENT FARE

The Washington Railway and
Electric Company today filed its
answer to the petition of the Capital
Traction Company for a 10-cent fare
with the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
The company states that its pres
ent rate of return is inadequate, be-
ing only 392 per cent on its valu-
alton for the IL months ended
April 80.
The company charges that If the
present rates are continued "its
property will continue to be con-
fiscated and used by the public
without just compensation"
The answer, signed by William F.
Ham, president, states that a uni
form rate of fare of 10 cents cash,
with four tokens for 80 cents, would
yield less than a fair return. How
ever. the company unites in the re-
quest of the Capital Traction Com
pany.
The answer of the Washington
Interurban Railroad Company, also
indorsing the fare idea, was also
received by the commission. Ham,
as president of the Interurban con,
Germ, signed this document, too.

Judge Hunt breeds and trains
high-grade English setter dogs as
a pastime. That in itself might
not be unusual, but when you con-
slider that the judge is a cripple, be
ing paralyzed in both legs, ii seems
a strange avocation. Nevertheless
Hunt trained 70 dogs last season.
Carried to Field
How can a man who cannot walk,
even with crutches, train hunting
dogs? Probably no other man has
ever done it. In the preliminary
stages of training. the Judge has
himself carried after the dogs by
his colored boy Sinclair" Sinclair
is an expert at carrying his boss
man pick-a-back, and he and
wheel chair give the judge sufficient
mobility to train the puppies.
But there comes time in the
training course when being carried
or wheeled in a chair won't keep
you up with a hunting dog in
training. The judge has solved
this problem. He HAS equipped his
automobile with a series Of hand
levers which enables him TO man.
ipulate the car, without regard to
foot pedals.
One-Sided Sport
With this car the judge has be-
come genuine cross-country
driver. He can follow his dogs
anywhere in Montgomery county.
skillfully crossing any field, and
getting in and out of bitches more
satisfactorily than any driver with
four limbs.
The judge has only one trouble
in this connection. If the dogs
come to a point on the left side of
his car everything is fine. All he
has to do is to pick up his gun
from the seat beside him and bring
down his game. But if the game is
started on the right side of the car
the judge has to pass up that point,
for with the loss of power in his
legs he is so helpless that he can't
move to the right side of the car to
fire his gun.
But the judge just breeds and
trains the dogs because he loves
them and because they keep him
occupied in his spare moments. His
spare moments aren't many, for in
addition to presiding in the orphans
court, to which he has been elected
for two terms, Hunt is the de-
veIoper of Chevy Chase Gardens, a
subdivision of Chevy Chase.
One of the lost dogs is McAllister
Boy, a dog with which the Judge
has taken many ribbons. The other
is a dog shipped to him from
Florida for training This ia a
female, and disappeared from Riggs
Kennels. in Wheaton, Md, where
the judge is keeping his pack while
he remodels his home.
Anybody finding the dogs will
confer a favor not only on Judge
Hunt, but on everyone who knows
Judge Hunt, by letting him know
where they are.

Gas STOCK SALE
QUIZ NEARS

Decision as to what further steps
are to be taken in the investigation
into who was the actual purchas ser
recently of the majority stock in the
Washington Gas Light Company,
will be reached probably tomorrow.
1t will be decided at that time
whether any further inquiry will
be needed on the part of the office
Of the Corporation Counsel, which
thus far has conducted the probe,
or whether it will be necessary to
carry out the original intention of
asking the Department of Justice
to undertake the task.
Bride to Decide
BY tomorrow it is expected that
developments uncovered by Cor
poration Counsel w. w. Bride a
few days after he started his
investigation will have proceeded to
the point where he can decide
what further. steps are to be taken.
While maintaining an absolute
silence on what these DEVELOPMENTS
are, Bride has considered them of
sufficient importance to warrant
his delaying the formal request
which he planned to make to the
Department of Justice for assist.
ance. This formal request was
held up after an informal request
had been submitted.
1t would seem reasonable that
the facts developed. If borne out,
would indicate that further in.
vestigation would be unnecessary.
because the identity of the lur.
chasers of the stock would be de-
termined.
Point At Issue
This is the whole point at issue
in the inquiry which has been
ordered by the public utilities COM
mission. If the purchasers are
individuals without utility connec.
tons all will be well.
But, If the stock was purchased
for or by a utility company or a
utility holding company, it would
be a violation of the anti-merger
law. The stock, according to
formal announcement, was pur.
chased by d. A. Pearson, but there
nave been rumors that this was a
blind.

cIared as she was led back into the

Ralph Given the alternative Of
either serving % days or paying

Last night. the defendant.

her to patrol box. He took there
from a pint of liquor and gave. i
to her, she told the Judge.
Soon after that she was walking

TOLD Of
JURY CHANGES

The District Grand Jury In its
final report to Chief Justice Walter
Walter 1. Mccoy today suggested
three changes in the present sys.
tenn of selection Of Jurors which.
IL put in effect. might raise the
standard OF those available for jury
service in the District.
The changes. which can be ef-
fected only through legislative ac-
ton. are first, athat Government
employees be eligible for jury service
In the circuit courts: second. that
notaries public. persons having con-
tract with the Government, and
those holding war risk insurance be
declared eligible for jury service in
both criminal and circuit courts;
third. that the age limit for jury
service be changed to read, from rs
to 70 years. instead of from II
to So years
Courts Crowded
The report, signed by Foreman
Eugene E. Thompson, points to the
increasing litigation In the District
and to the difficult aspects of some
of the cases presented to the iuries
for discrimination.
Jurors in the local courts should
have more than average expert.
ence. education, and intellect the
Grand Jury suggests, and declares
that the present rule excluding
Government employees, notaries, and
those having contracts with the
Government deprives the local
courts of its best material.
In the matter of changing the age
limit. the report continues. among
other qua lifications, a person serv-
ing asa juror must be between the
ages OF 21 and SIS years. We feel
that a person called upon to render
jury service should be of a more ma
ture age of thought than 81 years,
and also that there are many per-
sons from SIS to 20 years of age,
whose health might be the only bar
rier from making competent jurors.
No Criticism Made
I'VE, therefore, recommend that
the age limit be changed to read
from IS to 20 years instead of from
Fl to SIS years.
No criticism of the work of the
jury commission was made by the
Grand Jury. neither was a sugges-
ton as to how the method of select
ing jurors under the present system
might be improved was included in
the report.
1t was suggested that the court
request the Bar Association to draft
a bill including the suggested
changes to be presented to Congress.
