PROGRESS SHOWN
IN NAVAL FARLEY
Specific Proposals Being For
muIated, With Early Agree
ment Hopeful.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The British-American naval reduc-
ton negotiations have advanced from
the stage of strictly informal discus.
sions into that of the formulation OF
specific proposals.
The progress attained by Prime Min.
lister Macdonald and Ambassador
Dawes in London has been such. In
fact. that President Hoover and Sec.
rotary Stimson are now hopeful that
a definite agreement on basic factors
can be reached within the next few
weeks.
With that situation in mind, some
observers have been encouraged to re-
new predictions that an international
naval conference will be convened In
London before the end of this year. II
has not been made clear. however
whether administration officials are
ready to enter a general conference
pending agreement on a new yard
stick" for comparative measurement Of
the strength of navies.
As Preliminary Step.
Development of such a formula. rec
ognizing age, armor gunpower, speed
etc. as well as tonnage, in computing
the strength of a ship was advanced
as preliminary step toward q nava

Hartman's statement, whereupon Mr..
Hartman said with considerable heat:
will you let me finish my statement?
II will save time II you will go over
your questions and eliminate duplica-
tons"
Considerable amusement was caused
by several long hypothetical questions
asked by Mr.. Riegel. Mr.. Hanna said
he was willing to give all the informa =
ton he could, but did not understand
what the question meant.
Ralph B. Fleharty, peoples counsel.
next took up the cross-examination of
Mr.. Hanna. He asked for the total
amount of revenue received by the
Capital Traction Co. from transfers.
and Mr.. Hanna said It amounted to
$57,577 for the year which ended April
80. 1929.
Mr.. Hanna said this sum amounted to
about one-tenth of l per cent of the
estimated return of the company.
Would Ask Commission.
Mr.. Fleharty asked how the Capital
Traction Co. would finance merger
with the Washington-M Maryland Rail-
way Co. il 1t should be ordered by the
commission. Mr.. Hanna said the COM
pany would have to ask the commission
about that.
In response to other questions from
Mr.. Fleharty the witness said that 1t
would be impossible to estimate how
much might be realized from the sale
of the present rolling stock OF the COM
pany, but that the cars could not be
sold for q large price II 1t were neces-
sary 10 sell them quickly, although they
were in good condition. He said 1t
would be difncult to find q market for
800 street cars.
Commission Sustains Company.
Mr.. Riegel began his cross-examina =
ton Yesterday afternoon. He clashed
with attorneys for the Capital Traction
Co. constantly because Of the argu-
mentative nature of his questions. Most
OF the objections made by the COM
pany's attorneys on this ground were
sustained by the commission. %
Mr.. Riegel asked why the company
claimed a valuation of $26.080, LA, when
its capital stock Is only $4,000, 600. Mr..
Hanna said invested capital has little
or nothing to do with fair value as
defined by the courts. He said num-
bar of other elements besides capital
enter into fair value. such as franchise
value, appreciation, going concern"
ETC.
replying TO . question by Mr.. Riegel
as to whether the company did not ex.
pect its passenger traffic to decrease II
the fare is raised, Mr.. Hanna said:
"Of course, we expect there will be a
small temporary falling on OF the NUM-
Der of passengers, but We believe the
improved service we would be able to
give with an increased fare gradually
would bring all of them back to the
street cars and perhaps would increase
the number Of our passengers"

The Daily News reports, although un.

support in statements elsewhere which
indicated the king might remain IN
to Bocncr, scene Of his convalescence
last Spring.
There was nothing in any London
paper TO indicate that the King had
suffered q relapse. the utmost which
could be drawn from reports being that
his physicians had found his pie gress
insufficient and they preferred to keep
him under observation in London with
the prospect OF eventual removal TO Q
