CAR LINES APPEAL
FOR FARE RAISE
Petitions Ask Court to Set
Aside Denial of Com
mission.

The Capital Traction Co. and the
Washington Railway g. Electric Co
went to court today to compel the Pub
lie Utilities Commission to increase
District street car fares.
The appeal was filed in the face of a
new merger proposal submitted to Con-
gress and the companies by the COM
mission late Saturday in an effort to
hold off any fare increase.
The companies filed in Equity Court
petitions asking the court TO set aside
the recent order of the commission
which denied the increase, and to or
der the commission to raise the fare to
10 cents cash, with four tokens sold for
30 cents. The present rates are cents
cash and SIX tokens for 40 cents.
The petition of the Capital Traction
Co. did not specifically mention the fare
asked, but requested the court, pending
the hearing of the case, to fix such
rates of fare as will grant to plaintiff
temporary relief from the unlawft4i, un-
reasonable and confiscatory conditions
to which it is now being subjected by
the enforcement of the existing rates of
fare" The Washington Railway 81 Elec-

specifically the 10-cent fare.

3 BANDITS SHOT
IN AMBUSH AT BANK

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SHAKOPEE, Mimi, December O.
Three bank robbers were shot and prob
ably fatally wounded today as police
officers, lying in wait for them, opened
fire with machine gun as the robbers
left the First National Bank.
Working on a "tip" from the pro-
tective department of the Minnesota
Bankers Association that the bank
would be robbed, the officers had MAIN
tanned watch for several days. The
robbers were permitted to enter the
bank and were preparing to drive away
with $500 when the officers opened
fire.
Charles d. Brown, Minneapolis, man
ager of the Bankers Protective De-
partment, led five officers in the am
bush prepared for the bandits and op-
Grated the machine gun.
After firing, Brown rushed to the
car. AS he opened the doors. he said
two men fell out. The third stepped
out of the machine and staggered into
the bank.
"How do you like it so far, boys?'
Brown asked as he reached the car.
you've got us all right this time
Mr.. Brown" one man replied.
The bandits were taken to a hos
pital where physicians said all prob
ably would die.

SULLIVAN AND BAIRD
TAKE SENATE SEATS
Formers Credentials Referred to
Election Committee for
Study Of Law.

Two new Senators were sworn in and
took their seats today, David Baird,
Republican, of New Jersey and Patrick
j. Sullivan, Republican, of Wyoming,
Both men came to the Senate on ap-
pointments by the governors of their
States. Senator Baird to occupy tenn
porarily the seat left vacant by the
resignation of former Senator Edge, and
Senator Sullivan to occupy temporarily
the seat of the late Senator Warren,
who died recently.
Some question had been raised as to
the authority of Gov. Emerson of Wyo-
ming to make an appointment pending
a special election, but no objection was
raised in the Senate to administering
that oath to Mr.. Sullivan pending a
study of the question by Senate COM
mittee.
Senator Walsh. Democrat, of Mon
tana, told the Senate he had been look
ing into the Wyoming law and was
satisfied the governor acted within his
power. He added, however, the ques-
tion was not entirely free from doubt
and suggested that after Senator Sui
Iivan had been sworn in that his cre-
dentials be referred TO the privileges
and elections committee. The question
regarding the Wyoming law hinges on
whether the governor can make tenn
porary appointment when the vacancy
occurs during a recess OF Congress.

BOOZE
CHARGES IGNORED
Grand Jury Decides Evidence:
Lacking and Lapse Of Time
Too Great.

The grand jury today decided to ig-
more Senator Smith w. Brookharts
charges relating to the so-called "Wall
Street booze party" in the Willard Hotel
three years ago for newly elected Sen
ators because Of "lack of evidence, to-
gether with the extraordinary lapse of
time between the alleged violations and
the revelation of the facts relating to
this affair"
The report of the grand jury was as
follows:
upon information reaching the grand
national prohibition act occurring at a
dinner party given at the New Willard
Hotel during the month of December,
1926, by one Walter ]. Fahy, the United
States attorney directed the issuance
of subpoenas to certain witnesses. !.
Facts Few and Late.
Various witnesses appeared and
placed before this body all facts in
their possession with regard to said al
legged violations. This matter having
been considered by the grand jury, 1t is
deemed that the lack of evidence, to-
gether with the extraordinary lapse of
time between the alleged violations and
the revelation of the facts relating to
this affair, make it impracticable for the
grand jury to consider the matter
further"
The report was signed by James N.
Fitzpatrick, foreman of the grand jury,
and submitted to Justice Peyton Cor
don of the District Supreme Court.
Given December 10, 1926.
The dinner, which Senator Brook
hart described as a booze party" was
given on December 10, 1926, by Walter
j. Fahy, Wall Street broker.
The matter was first brought to
public attention when Senator Brook
hart told of seeing what he believed
to be liquor at the dinner in speech
on the floor of the Senate. He said the
whisky was served in@ silver TASKS.
Several days ago, Senator Brookhart
repeated these charges to the grand
jury at the request of Mr.. Rover.
He said that E. E. LoomiS, president
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, was one
of the guests and that Loomis sat be-
side him and poured out liquid from
flask which he believed to be whisky.

ACTION ON TAX CUT
BLOCKED BY BLACK
AIabaman Delays Reduction
Move as Senate Leaders
Seek Speed.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Immediate consideration of the $780,
100000 tax reduction in the Senate
was blocked today by Senator Black,
Democrat, of Alabama, when Chairman
Smoot of the finance committee asked
that it be taken up ahead of the tariff
measure and voted upon by tomorrow
at pm.
Smoot was prepared to act on an Of
fer from leaders of the Remocratic-
Republican-In independent coalition in
charge of the tariff measure to give the
tax resolution right of way under an
agreement providing for limitation OF
debate.
But as he proposed the agreement
Black objected. The Alabaman gave nc
explanation and program for dispose
ton of the tax resolution was unsettled
temporarily.

ness situation.
Senator Borah Of idaho, leader ot
would favor taking up tax reduction
now If the indications were for early
action, but objected to the tnterpositior
of measures at this time that woulc
hold up the tariff bill.
IF you want to create favorable
psychological condition in this coun.
try let's get rid Of the tariff bill," he
asserted.
Later, Senator Black announced HI
would oppose any tax reduction unless
the Senate provided in the same agree
ment for consideration Of the Muscle
Shoals issue.
C0uzens Has Amendments.
Senator Couzens of Michigan, a Re-
publican member of the finance COM
mittee, also served notice that he would
object to an agreement to take up the
tax bill, because he wanted time to
prepare some amendments to it. He
did not state what the amendments
were to be.
Assailing the tax reduction proposal,
Senator Blaine, independent, WiScon-
sin, asserted the administration had
made no attempt to prevent the "stock
market catastrophe" and it now was
proposed to ''close the barn door after
the horse had been stolen"
Declaring bankers with fortunes hac
seized upon the opportunity of mis-
fortune" and purchased stock upon the
market at tremendously deprecated
value and were holding that stock to-
day, Blaine said:
Nov you propose at this period OF
the catastrophe to give these financial
thieves an opportunity to be rewarded
by reduction in their taxes"
Senator Borah of Idaho, a spokes-
man for the independent Republicans
who repeatedly has urged disposition
of the tariff bill at the earliest possible
date, was willing that the tax measure
supersede today, if the tariff can be
taken up again by Wednesday.
