WILL I AXE.
CASE To
COURT

The appeal of the Capital Trac-
ton Company to the District SUI
preme Court from the 10-cent fare
decision Of the Public Utilities
Commission is being prepared and
will be filed probably within two
weeks, according to company off
Gals.
John H. Hanna, president, said
he was not certain what form OF
court action would be decided
upon. A temporary order increas-
ing fares Immediately may be
asked.
While taking issue sharply with
the commission on its valuation
and merger views, the company
hedged on the merger question.
A statement given out by G.
Thomas Dunlop. it's counsel,
reads:
willing to Negotiate
Since the agreement between
the companies has expired and
new legislation is necessary, the
Capital Traction Company Is will
Ing to negotiate a new merger
agreement which may be accept
able to the commission as now
constituted, and the Congress"
President Hanna stated during
the fare hearings that he would
discuss merger agreement with
a committee of Congress, but
would not do so with the Public
Utilities Commission while the
fare hearings were in progress, as
he considered that a fare in
crease and a merger were sepa-
rate questions. To this the com.
mission replied that if the com
panieS we're seeking relief from
financial difficulty, it had a
right to look into methods of eff.
fecting operating economy, such
as q consolidation.
Ham is Reticent
The Washington Railway and
Electric Company supported the
proposed $4,000, 900 merger
agreement last year, but was
reticent on the subject of a new
merger during and since the fare
increase hearings During the
hearings the commission ques-
toned William F. Ham, its presi-
dent. He admitted his company
had supported the old agreement,
but as to a new one, remarked
that conditions have changed
Officials of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company
have refused to comment on the
commissions action in refusing
the fare-increase petition, and
they did not indicate whether
they would join the Capital Trac-
ton Company in its court battle.
It was regarded as certain
that the case will go beyond the
District Supreme Court and a
lengthy battle before the District
Court of Appeals and possibly
the United States Supreme Court
may result.
May ImpOund Fares
Should temporary increase of
fares be granted pending settle
ment of the question, an i'm
pounding proviSo may be inserted.
Then, if the increase were not
sustained the companies would
have to return to car riders the
difference between the old fares
and the temporarily increased
fares: adding further to the COM
plications and bringing the car
riders even more intimately in
touch with them.

Out of an appropriation Of S59,- GSo for the years work, the health commission expended all but 47c and q check for that amount has been drawn in favor of the city treasurer to balance the fund, closing the books for the 192S-1929 fiscal year.
 Total balances standing in appro- priated funds on the books of Comp troller Hanford l.. Curtis today are S4,167.o2. This indicates exception ally accurate estimation on the part of the board of finance and taxation. the costs of conducting the depart ments being approximately one seventeenth of one mill in excess of actual costs in d 26 T. mills budget.

 Judge Wolfe continued
 Attorney Casale also claimed that there was a question as to whether Gardiner was entitled to a direct
 verdict He assured the court that he
 was taking his appeal to the su- preme court in perfect good faith and not for dilatory reasons, and,
 he pointed out if the plea is not ! heard until October, Gardiner will have served the full sentence before the appeal is decided, which he said,
 was unfair.
 AS to the failure of the state to prosecute Gardiner for defamatory remarks against Chief Hart within one year after their publication. At torney Casale pointed out that it was important from the standpoint of the appeal. but Assistant States Attorney Donald Gaffney replied that within a few days of the date of publication, Gardiner was arrest ed, presented in police court and bound over. MT. Gaffney also said he did not understand Attorney Casale's claim about Gardiner's not
 having been put to plea to the charge of labelling Mrs. Hart and her daughter.

they will ask Germany to pay.
 Each country has sliced down ita original demands. Le Temps says. adding that the United States with about 1,000.0O0.000 marks gold still due for costs of the Rhineland oc- cupation has given proof of large disinterestedness."
 In . ball to be presented to Dr. Hjalmar Schacht. the German ex- pert, Le Temps says. the experts will ask first for 37 annuities beginning at 1,700.000,o0 marks (about s40S.- 0o0,000) progressing to 0.ooo.- 900 marks Approximately $576.- 00o,00O to be followed by 21 an- nuities of HOO. 100000 marks.
 May Re Modified Slightly
 Except for minor notifications which may be made this afternoon. this. the paper says. will be the basis upon which the experts will draw up their communication for Dr. Echacht.
 Such good progress was made yes- terday at meetings of the allied ex- perts seeking to scale down the claims of their countries to a point within reach of German compromise that 1t was believed today or tomor- row at the latest. a total of the allied claims could be announced.
 Once a complete agreement was reached on this point Dr. Hjalmar schacht and his German conferees could be called back to the Hotel George V for a plenary session of the experts committee. and-if ali went well-the end of the confer ence itself might not be so far re- moved.
 Whatever the figure the experts have agreed upon. or are agreeing upon, they have yelled it with the closest secrecy. Neither size of an- nuities or their number. or the total. was subject to an estimate more &C., curate than . guess. It was said only a few details remained to be worked out and these probably would be completed today.

bills. and was defeated in a roll call vote because the minority did not stand by him. Today. he was the only one opposed to the question of roll call and the only democrat to vote with the majority in the re- jection of the bill.
 Peaslcy For Rejection
 Senator Peasley of Cheshire, ju- dietary chairman and majority lead- CT, declared the aim of the bill was to obtain the 'embryo of pseudo political issue" and moved for re- jection on the grounds that the serv- ices required were too arduous, and the appropriation, $3O.000. was for ride"
 Senator Bergin of New Haven. minority leader, declared the propo- sition merited being made politi- cal issue, as it involved food for children and the states health, and pointed out that appropriations for ride" on something worth while" had a precedent, for one of the first things done in this session was to give the governor $10.000 for a ride.
 There is real condition in the state that needs to be rectified," Senator Bergin declared. There is a falling off in the rural population. decreased food products, general agricultural conditions are bad, cat tie raising is on the decline, and reforestation is practically ignored. All this is resulting in increased prices" He asked a roll call vote.
 Senator PeaAey. in his reply, de- nied there was any problem in the state and tke little difficulties there are in the rural communities are adjusting themselves. He said there were many farms that should he abandoned and turned over to city people for country residences, be- cause they were not fertile.
 ''The catte industry is not in need of an investigation" he concluded. The commissioner of agriculture has all the information necessary in his office and survey could be made in IS minutes"

ates the liner. that it would be fair to assume that, while the ship would be dry on its present east-bound voy- age and wet only on the return trip, liquor would be served going both ways hereafter.
 Medical Liquor Rights
 The ship. they said. can possess liquor legally within the American three-mile limit only as medicinal stock under q federal permit. Such liquor can be sold. they held, only to i'll prescriptions issued by physi- clans as in the United States, and must be accounted for with such prescriptions. That applies. 1t was declared. whether the liquor is IS sued on the outgoing or homecom- ing voyage or in a foreign port.
 No liquor can be brought within the three mile limit by an American ship 1t was emphasized, unless 1t is provided for by the medicinal per- init. Thus, Commissioner Doran of the prohibition bureau. explains. the Leviathan cannot legally possess liquor to serve on such trips. He says his bureau will take action.
 The motive which actuated the new owners of the United States lines in their decision is regarded by many here as having been put into words in an opinion on the incident expressed by Vice Chairman Plum- mer of the shipping board. Under treaty arrangements. foreign ships are allowed to keep beverage liquor stocks under seal in American wa ters. but this is denied to American ships by law and under the supreme court decision of 1923 which held that they were at liberty to serve liquor outside the three-mile limit.
 Hummer for Rum Sales
 Y do not believe" Hummer de- clared. that United States vessels should be forced to operate under conditions that would make com- petition with foreign ships harder than it now is. In my opinion. they should be allowed to sell liquor, if they think 1t necessary. provided. of course. that this sale of liquor is legal"

Paris Ready With "Stun"

Paris. April 12 (UP)-Prepara- tions were made today to make the United States liner Leviathan as wet as any ship afloat-if her new own CTS permit free hand.
 Experts on the subject were called in by the contractors who furnish the Leviathan with meats and fresh vegetables. to tender their advice on the question of whiskies, brandies and gin.
 The contractors already placed large tentative orders for the choic- est of French brandies, benedictine, liquors and wines. to be placed on the liner if it's owners say the word. Those commodities will be played aboard the ship at Cherbourg when the boat gets there and when the owners have given instructions.
 The caterers propose to stock the ship with sufficient wet goods to satisfy the demands and to last just long enough to reach the Emile limit. There. what liquor remains is to be thrown overheard, except, of course, that which is kept for medi- cinal purposes.
 It was expected today that there would be considerable losses durin 2 the first few trips, until the stew ards get some idea of the average capacity of the passengers and are able. through actual experience. to estimate accurately their wants.
 One shipment of 5000 quarts Of the choicest cognacs. chartreuse, benedictine and other drinks in- cluding cocktail ingredients, already have been loaded at Paris. prepara- tory to shipment to Cherbourg un- less the orders are changed.
