Photo by International

Three suggestions for drafting a
local law to tighten up prohibition
enforcement in the District were
submitted to the District subcom-
mittee of the House today by Pro
hibition Administrator J. NJ. Doran.
They were:
The re-enactment of the Sheppard
law after eliminating those sections
which have been found ineffective
and substituting certain sections
calculated to effectively accomplish
enforcement, including possibly
provision making it unlawful to
purchase liquor.
Enactment of the penal provision
of the Volstead act AS local
statute in order that all local en-.
forcement agencies would be
charged with administration of the
Eolstead law.
Passage of an act for the District
composed of the best teaturs of
all State enforcement laws.

Hoover gave the President a first.

The President regards Hoover's

results were shown in the successful

With the arrival Of a New Jersey
delegation headed by Senator Walter

Hoover turned his attention to the
problem of his Cabinet. The Jersey
delegation is active in behalf OF
Dwight w. Morrow. ambassador tC
Mexico. who has been mentioned
as a possible choice for Secretary
of State.
Senator Edge had a prominent
part in the Hoover pre-conventior
campaign and his advocacy of the
Morrow appointment is regarded az
significant. Henry P. Fletcher, am

as likely appointee for Secretary

DEFENDS

b DR.. Milo r. Maltbie, utilities
expert, submitted another re-
port : to the Senate District
Committee today Teiterating
his belief that the traction
companies should be merged
without a fixed valuation and
pointing out that great bene-
fits would accrue to the com
panies even if they accept all
his recommendations.
Even without a fixed valuation,
Matbie declared the companies
would gain at least $750.O0O in an
nual revenues by the transfer Of the
cost Of crossing policemen and paw
ing between tracks and from the
economies of merged operation,
Questions Purpose
"Is it possible that the companies
desire 10 sacrifice this sum annually
unless they can have a provision in
the agreement which establishes
rate base of $5O,000,OO0?" interrog-
ates Dr.. Maltbie. rs the rate base
section of the agreement so valuable
that it is worth more than S75OOOO
yearly? If it is, that section con
stitutes a change in substance and
not merely in form.
That was Maltbie's reply to, the
contention of the. companies that
all that is sought" in the proposed
agreement is in reality change IN
form rather than in substance.
Maltbie devoted considerable space
in his report to proving that the
stockholders of the Capital Traction
Company and the Washington Rall'
way and Electric Company would be
better off with a merger under his
terms than they are at present.
Report Is Technical
The report was highly technical
discussion of the valuation question
and of depreciation methods.
He recommended provision in the
merger agreement definitely proVld-
ing for the depreciation accounting
method to be employed by the
merged company. Following receipt
of the Maltbie report, Senator Cap
per, chairman of the merger SUB
committee, called a meeting OF his
group for 1890 o'clock Wednesday.
1t is expected the Wilson propocal
will be formally rejected at that time.

COLD WAVE

A cold wave has arrived in Wash
inrton to make a stay of indefinite
duration.
It came in the form of a dramatic
dror in temperature of 80 degrees,
converting what started out to be a
halny Sabbath into a sharp, shiver-
ing evening. Today a further fall
in the mercury is forecast.
During the early morning hours
the temperature lowered around 20
degrees. If this is maintained, ice
skating on the mirror pool of the
Lincoln Memorial is a prospect of
the near future.
Motorists had prepared their radi.
