The second day at Nikko Is usually
spent In trip to Lake Chuzenji. We
followed the custom. Nobody adequate

feet higher than Nikko, itself about
1000 feet above the sea. But we did
not know that 5 miles Of the way
comprised o one-way road, 2 miles OF
which include 80 Of the most hair-rats-
ing, breath-taking turns in the world.
IN those 2 miles the way ascends
about a thousand feet. That ride is
one which no nervous person should
ever undertake. And yet it is probable
that nobody would ever refuse 1t, know
ing the glories of scenery to be wit
messed on the way and on the upper
level.
Kegon Fall, the outlet Of Lake Chu-
zenji, Is alone worth making hundred

not one of the largest. The waters plunge

weather, but 1t may be angry at times.
It is surrounded by lofty hills, some OF

Fish In Imperial Stream.
For the special benefit OF our party,
the consent of the imperial household
had been granted that we enter the fish
culture grounds, be free of its accom-
modations and even to fish in the waters
of the two beautiful streams which dash
down in a pair Of exquisite waterfalls
to form q swift river. It is to these
| waters that the Emperor goes for fish-
| ing diversion. Several of our members
tried their skill with rod and line. Their
catches were small in number and in
size, but 1t was something to have fished
in the imperial trout stream, regardless
Of results.

FARE HEARING
DRAWS FRI:
Continued from Page 1s)

&
general investigation Of the local
transportation system, the w. r. G.
should be- made a party.
Dr.. George G. E1avenner, prest-
dent OF the Federation OF Citizens
Associations, secured permission to
address the commission and said:
We believe that there should be
an immediate revaluation of the
washington Rapid Transit Com
pany and, furthermore, that it
should be made party to these
hearings to see If there should not
be a uniform fare charged in the
District"
FIavenner pointed out that the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company was made party to the
hearing with view to making the
fare on its lines uniform with the
fare the Capital Traction Company
asks. There is no reason why the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company should be allowed to charge
a uniform fare IL the bus company
is not brought into the hearing,
Havenner said,
Urges Full Competition
'If we are going to have COM
petition. let US have three kinds Of
competition" he told the Commits
sion.
Hoover said the bus company Is
willing to have its properties re-
valued at any time. When the
Commission sets valuation figure,
however, the company wants to be
able to appeal to the court,l Il It
does not agree with the figure.
An appeal to the courts from q
valuation figure set at the present
hearing would mean that the bus
company would have to take the
huge volume of testimony gathered
at the present hearing into court
with it, Hoover pointed out.
Hoover declared that there have
been some insinuations that the bus
company is owned by the powerful
North American company, which
owns the Washington Railway and
Electric company and controls
large block of stock in the Capital
Traction company. The bus com
pany Is owned entirely by Harleigh
p. Wilson. Hoover said. Wilson is
amennber Of the board Of directors
of the North American company.
Clayton said he had heard no In
situations regarding the ownership
Of the bus company and added that
the company probably feared that
asprobe might SO deeper into Its
ownership.
j. b. Heberle, assistant to the
president Of the Capital Traction
Company, then took the stand and
explained the decrease In revenue
passengers carried BY the company
since 1920. In the year ending June
30. 1929, he said, the company car.
riOa $4,000, 900 passengers who paid
for their rides. This Is the smallest
number OF passengers carried since
June, 1917, and the number is grow
ing smaller each day, Heberie ex-
planned. The greatest number OF
passengers carried by the company
was IN 1919 when ss,o0O.o0O persons
Sada on its lines
