NATURAL GAS
PROPOSAL
City P. U. c. Meets Agents
Of Local Company for
Pipe Line Consideration

A informal discussion Of the
projected piping Of natural gas
into the District by the Washing
ton Gas Light Co.. was to take
place in the offices Of the Public
Utilities Commission today be-
tween members Of the commits
sion and gas company representa-
tives.
The conference, asked for by
President G. A. Wood, of the
company. was said by Earl G.
Fisher, executive secretary Of the
commission to have no bearing
on the proposed new gas sched.

company submitted to the COM
mission new schedule Of gas
rates which were turned down
by the commission, due. it is be-
lieved, to a proposed service
charge.
At that time, the company
stated that new schedule would
be proposed to the commission
before September /, but President

HUNT RENEWED
FOR RUM CAR

A supposed rum car containing
four colored men and equipped
with a smoke screen today is the
object Of search by police, follow
ing It's escape late yesterday from
Policeman r. A. Cunningham. of
the Traffic Bureau.
The policeman first sighted the
car on Park Pl. N. W., near the
Michigan Avenue reservoir, and
followed it because 1t was ex-
ceeding the speed limit. He stop
ped the men at Michigan Avenue
and North Capitol Street. but
they drove away before he had
time to question them.
The policeman followed the car
from North Capitol Street to
Bryant Street. where it made a
right turn. When the machine
reached First Street northwest a
smoke screen was turned on and
was operated for some distance.
The apparatus was then torn
loose from the car and hurled in
the path of the policeman's mo-
torcycle.
Dodging the obstruction, Cum
ningham followed the car as far
as Georgia Avenue where rough
road and heavy traffic forced him
to abandon the chase.

Major Cites Standards Used
For Liquor Law Violations,
In Reply to the Accusation

Indignant over a statement
attributed to Assistant District
Attorney David A. Harts to the
effect that the Police Department
was setting too high bonds in
liquor law violation cases, Major
Henry @. Pratt, chief of police,
today said the Police Depart.
ment has nothing to do with the
establishment of bonds. He said:
"The Police Department will
pick no fight with any other
branch Of the District govern.
ment, but il win stand up for
its rights. It looks as though
Assistant District Attorney Hart
is trying to shift the blame and
pass the buck on to the police"
Cites Standard
The police chieftian exhibited
a letter reporting a conference
between the four Police Court
judges on March S, 1929, which
deemed as proper bonds in liquor
law violations the following:
Manufacture Of liquor, $4,000:
sale, $4,000; transportation, 81
600, and possession, $500.
These figures are the very ones
which Hart claims exorbitant,
Pratt said, and which were set
with the approval of the District
Attorneys office. The police chief
also pointed out that when a per.
son is arrested at a police sta
ton for a liquor violation and
summons bondsman, the clerk
Of the court sets the bond, and
not the Police Department.
InfOrmers Hit
Meanwhile. District Attorney
Hart announced that stool
pigeons" employed in liquor cases
will not be permitted to testify on
the witness stand unless there is
evidence that the informer was
thoroughly covered" by police in
gathering evidence.
Use of paid informers in louor
cases has caused the District At
torney'S office much embarrass.
ment in the past, and their ef-
forts are always closely invest
gated by the liquor law proSecu-
tors. Hart stated that only in
cases charging nuisance, where
evidence of a sale of liquor must
be made to support the charge.
will informers be used.
Bond Cut Sought
The usual procedure in cover.
ing" informer must be adhered to
at all times times, Hart stated.
This involves the searching Of
the infor inner before he is sent
into a suspected establishment to
make a buy" providing the in
former with marked money and
keeping the informer under as
close vigilance as possible during
his purchasing attempt.
Hart said he aggitated for the
reduction Of bonds in LIQUOR
cases for some time. holding that
in many cases the bond set while
the prisoner is in police station
is too high when evidence in the
cases is taken into consideration.
Hart denied that there was
any war" between the police de-
partment and his office. He
stated that he was merely inter
eSted in seeing that liquor cases
are properly handled according
to legal lines and in expediting
trial of liquor cases.

Chamber of Commerce Notes

Several weeks ago the Commer- cial Club of Ketchikan sought the air of the Seward Chamber Of Commerce in securing the replace ment of the lighthouse tender Fern by large and more adequate ves- sel for this service. The Marine Navigation Committee Wayne Blue, E. P. Harwood and M H. Flick finger, promptly endorsed the re- quest from "The First City, drew ut a resolution, which the Cham Der adopted and forwarded to Washington officials.
 The Seward communications brot the following replies: Congressman Albert Johnson T shall be glad to do what I can in behalf of this matter" Congressman Summers: Some time ago I had this matter up with the Commissioner of Light houses and he assured me the matter would receive careful con- sideration". Senator Jones: Glad tn know the views of your cnamhcr. As to the size of the lighthouse tender, it is rather up to the Light house Service to submit it's recnrl- mendations on this technical Ques tion.' Said the Commission of lighthouses, G. R. Ptiman: "Illis Service recognizes the need for such a tender, and means for pro- viding same as under considera- ticE'
 The Seattle Chamber of Com merce in letter to the Ketchikan
 Commercial Club commented. we have received the strong recom-
 mendationS of the Seward Cham
 Der of Commerce in this matter. Ii is indeed pleasure to note the spirit of cooperation between com mercial bodies in Alaska, which means so much for the TerritOry'S
 future welfare.
 Part of the work that should be
 done by the Fern is now being talk
 en care of by the Lighthouse ten- der Cedar, which vessel has extend
 ed duties in western and south
 western Alaskan waters. When re- lieved of the relief work that takes
 it to southeastern waters each sea-
