733 BUSES ARRIVE
IN CAPITAL Dali,
Utilities Commission Check Ur
Made last Week, Shows Heavy
Interstate Traffic.

A check of interstate buses entering
and leaving Washington, made last week
by the Public Utilities Commission. re-
vealed that there are 1913 daily arrivals
Of interstate buses here, not counting
special trips of Sight-seers in chartered
buses and trips to and from race
tracks.
These figures, according to Mason M
Patrick. chairman of the commission.
indicate the size of the problem con-
fronting the commission In its recent
self-imposed task Of bringing order out
of the present chaotic conditions of
routingS and terminals in the city.
The commission Is busy trying to ar
range for simplified routings to and
from terminals, which shall as much as
possible avoid travel through the con-
gested sections Of town, especially where
it calls for left turns on heavily trav-
eled intersections. A public hearing
was held on the subject recently. and
the figures were tabulated from tnfor-
nation supplied by the bus owners.
The buses come from New York,
Pittsburgh. Baltimore, Winchester, Alex
andria, Luray and other points.

PREACHER COLLEGE
DEDICATION SET
Bishop of Winchester, Eng
land, to Attend Ceremonies
November Ia.

The College of Preachers of Washing
ton Cathedral, Americas newest relig-
ious institution, which was established
to stimulate the Christian ministry by
providing post-ordination training In
the prophetic art, will be formally dedi-
Gated on Thursday, November IA, ac-
cording to plans made public by Right
Rev. James e. Freeman, Bishop OF
Washington.
Right Rev. Frank Theodore Woods,
Bishop of winchester. England; men,
bers of the House of Bishops of the
Episcopal Church and clergymen from
all parts of the country are to partici-
pate in the ceremony, which will take
place on the day following the election
in the Bethlehem Chapel of Washing
ton Cathedral of a successor to Most
Rev. John Gardner Murray, late pre-
siding bishop of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church in the United States.
Gift Of New Yorker.
The building which the College of
Preachers will occupy is the gift of the
late Alexander Smith Cochran, Yon-
kers, N. Y, manufacturer and philan-
thropist, who also provided for the
financial support of the institutions &C
tivities. A little over two years ago Mr..
Cochran gave $25o.0 for the building
as a memorial to his mother, the late
Mrs William F.. Cochran. He later in
creased this by a gift of $150,000 for
the construction Of the College OF
Preachers Chapel, for furnishings OF
the building and for the handspring OF
de Tn 0dGffinF1
provided 100000 by bequest to be
used as an endowment.
The inception of this unique institu-
ton, believed to be the first of its ma
ture in Christian history, is traced to
the late Right Rev. Henry Yates Sat-
terlee, first Bishop of Washington, who
suggested more than three decades ago
that school of the prophets be found
ed in connection with the. cathedral in
the National Capital to translate the
doctrinal truths of theology into the
common language of life in such way
as to take hold of the living convictions
Of thinking men,"
Toward Christian Revival.
Bishop Freeman. who has been active
in bringing this dream to fruition, re-
CARDS the establishment of the College
of Preachers as a step toward a Nation
wide revival of Christianity through the
power of preaching. A group OF emf
nent theologians and leading opponents
of the art OF preaching is to meet for a
three-day conference following the ded-
ication for the purpose of considering
the curriculum for the initial session.
The Right Rev. Philip M. Rhinelander.
warden of the College of Preachers and
former Bishop of Pennsylvania, will
preside at this latter gathering. Bishop
Rhinelander, as a trustee of the ca
thedral, has been associated with the
College of Preachers in its tentative
work during the last five years in ad-
vance of its new building and endoW-

TAX ADJUSTMENT
MPLA|NTS MADE
Realty Owners Selling Prop
erty to District Say Funds
Should Be Returned.

Several complaints have been made
recently by real estate owners and
dealers about the inability of the Dis
trict Government to adjust tax pay
ments on property acquired for Dis
trict use when the sellers have paid
for a period post-dating their owner
ship. The complaint Is being heard
particularly now from those who own
property in the site being acquired for
the new municipal center. bounded by
Pennsylvania avenue, Judiciary square,
Third and Sixth streets.
Taxes on real property are payable
IN two installments, in September and
March. The September payment Is
made for the period from July to
December and the March payment
covers the period from January l to
June 80. In case a property owner
has paid his half taxes in September,
and the District acquires the property
in October, the owner has paid taxes
for two months during which he does
not own the property, and the District
will not give him a refund. II the
taxpayer has not made the payment,
however, the District will adjust his
tax bill by requiring him to pay only
for those months in which the property
actually remained in his ownership.
The complaint of the property
owners is that this encourages nom
payment of taxes, and that the rule
should work both ways. District Audi
tor Daniel j. Donovan, however, says
that under the law. refunds OF taxes
can be made only e the original pay
ment was made in error. If the orig
inal payment was not in error, nothing
that happened later could make it
erroneous. and as the theory of err
roneous payment is the only one under
which a refund can be made, the tax
payer has no redress.
The law governing the matter, Mr.:
Donovan says, was passed In 1872, ana
no change has been made in the situa-
ton since.
