GAS STOCK BUYERS
MAY Be REVEALED
Purchasers to Decide Today
Whether to Voluntarily
Identity Selves.

Corporation Counsel William w
Bride expects to know tomorrow who
Dana Pearson of New York acted for
when he recently purchased controlling
interest in the Washington Gas Light
Co., it was learned today, following an
nouncement that the Department OF
Justice had consented to undertake an
investigation to obtain this information.
Mr.. Bride sought the aid of j. Edgar
Hoover, chief of the Bureau of Investi-
CATION of the Justice Department, and
MIR. Hoover decided that he had power
to undertake the probe.
Mr.. Bride asked him to postpone his
investigation, however, when he re-
ceived word that at meeting of pur-
chaSers of the stock and their attor-
neys in New York today a decision
probably would be reached to furnish
voluntarily the commission with the
information sought. Should this prove
satisfactory, there would be no need
for an investigation.
Mr.. Bride said today that he expected
the information tomorrow, and that
any decision as to pursuing the investi-
CATION by the Department of Justice
would be made then.
"A somewhat similar investigation
already is under way in the corporation

the act, however, and Mr.. Bride was
asked Saturday by the commission TO
prepare report on the subject.

OTTAWA. Ontario, July @.-In
the opinion of T. w. Lawrence. squad
ron leader of the Royal Canadian Air
Force, the 'Untin' Bowler's flight to Ber-
lin from Chicago through the Arctic has
been attempted at the wrong time OF
the year. He believes poor weather con-
ditions, combined with the lack Of suit
able landing places, makes the flight
difficult of accomplishment.
Lawrence was in charge Of the Hud-
son Straits expedition, which spent a
year in the North collecting weather
data for the Canadian government.
Informed that the 'Untin Bowler
could only make 400 miles in each
Jump, Lawrence said that the distance
to Port Burwell, next scheduled stop
from Great Whale. is 900 miles and
the country on the route Is OF such a
nature as to make 1t hazardous to at
tempt a landing.
Advices regarding the plane were
lacking today at the Canadian govern
ment radio station at Port Burwel!. The
last message received Friday indicated
that the plane was at Great Whale, on
James Bay, waiting for favorable
weather to proceed.
