OFFICE IS OPENED
FOR B|CENTENN|AL

Headquarters to Arrange
for 1882 Celebration.

The woman'S division of the George
Washington Bicentennial Commission
today established national headquarters
in the Washington Building, Fifteenth
street and New York avenue, where
activities in furthering early planning
for the extended celebration for the
first President will be considerably ex-
panded.
Mrs. John D. Sherman. one Of the
two woman commissioners, was In
charge of the Office when it was opened
this morning in a suite of six rooms
on the fifth floor of the building. With
her was a small group of clerks.
The woman'S division will proceed
with extensive correspondence work
with woman's organizations throughout
the country, seeking their assistance
and cooperation in making plans for
the events to be held from February
% to Thanksgiving day in 1882
Wofnen's clubs and societies of ma
tional scope will be asked to stage their
annual conventions In Washington dur
ing the time of the celebration and
otherwise to join in the extended pro-
gram, which will largely center in the
National Capital.

missioners' Office is a forerunner to
establishment of a larger headquarters
for the whole staff of the Federal BIZ
centennial Commission. Weaver Bros,
agents for the Washington Building,
announced today that negotiations were
being carried on by W. L. Dunlop, ad-
ministrative assistant to Representative

GAS MERGER BILL
IN CAPPER'S HANDS
Utilities Commission Submits Draft
Of Local Measure, Recon-
mending Passage.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day submitted to Chairman Capper Of
the Senate District committee the
draft of proposed legislation to permit
a merger of the Washington and
Georgetown Gas Light Companies.
which has been under discussion before
the commission in recent weeks. In
letter to Senator Capper. Gen. Mason
M. Patrick, chairman of the commits
sion, said there was practically no OPP
position voiced by any one to the
measure as whole, but that certain
minor changes had been suggested and
have been incorporated in the bill as
submitted. The commission expressed
the belief that the bill fully protects
the interests of the public and the utili-
ties, and recommended its enactment
into law.
The bill gives the commission power
to permit the consolidation of the two
gas companies upon such conditions as
may be approved by the commission,
and provided the commission shall de-
terfnine that the merger shall be in
the public interests.
One section of the bill gives the COM
mission jurisdiction to authorize the
company to increase from time to time
the amount of its capitalization by iSsu-
ing additional stock for the purpose OF
S1lcOtAAAS t4AS SOAhpnAy W CAISAln AOo Vic
tribution system and make other i'm
provementS.
Under this authorization, the commits
sion could authorize additional stock of
either common or preferred, with or
without par value, in such amounts and
for such considerations as may be APP
proved. The commission would be fur
ther authorized TO permit the company
to change all of the capital stock now
outstanding to the same number Of
shares Of stock Of no par value.

SUBSTITUTE PAVING
ASSESSMENT BILL
GIVEN TO CONGRESS
Proposed Act Would Limit
Property Owners Share
of Street Costs.
MEASURE WOULD TAKE
PLACE OF BORLAND LAW
Special Committee Makes Draft in
Effort to Meet Criticisms Of
Existing Provisions.

The Commissioners today submitted
to Congress their proposed substitute
for the much attacked Rorland law re-
lating to assessments against property
owners for adjacent street improve
ments. The main change proposed in
the new bill is to set certain limits be-
yond which property may not be taxed
for street work.
One half of the cost of paving or re-
paving of roadways is to be charged
against AUDITING property owners as at
present, under the terms of the substi-
tute measure, but in no case shall the
amount of the assessment work out to
more than $3.50 per front foot of the
property assessed, or to IS cents per
square foot, or to more than 20 per
cent of the assessment on the land for
tax purposes.
Exceptions Allowed.
No assessment Is to be levied for re-
paving where the original cost was paid
by the developer of the property, pro-
vided that the original work was done
under the engineering supervision of
the District Highway Department and
met its specifications for materials and
workmanship. No assessment will be
levied for resurfacing by the "heater"
method, for stripping the surface from
a rigid type base and replacing the sur
face, or covering an existing hard sur
face or macadam pavement with btu
minous material.
The rules laid out for assessments
against lots of irregular shape provide
that where a lot faces on two streets,
the assessment shall be only for the first
street paved, except where the average
depth of the lot on the second street
ic moro fHora Inn fact
land shall be made only for depth of
100 feet from the road paved. Where
the land is irregular in shape, then the
assessment shall be computed on the
average depth not to exceed 100 feet.
Prepared by Committee.
The bill was prepared by a special
committee appointed by the Commits
sioners to study the question. Capt
Herbert c. Whitehurst, co-ordinstor and
Chief Engineer of the District, was the
chairman; the other members being
Tax Assessor William P. Richards and
Corporation Counsel william w. Bride.
The new bill is an attempt to answer
the many criticisms of the existing law
on the subject of assessments for road
Improvements, which subjects some
property owners to burden utterly dis
proportionate to their interest in the
improvement. Literally hundreds Of
suits have been fled in court and claims
for refunds entered with the Commits
sioners. and many of the court actions
have been successful in securing re-
funds of the assessments.

DR.. REICHELDERFER
O. X. TODAY LIKELY
Favorable Report on Crosby Ap-
pointment Is Expected by

ton OF Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby
Tor the other commissioning. Indica-
tons are that Gen. Crosby will be given

Thus far Senator Copeland, Demo-
crat OF New York. is the only commit
zee member who has expressed OPPOSE
ton. Other members participating in
the discussion at the public hearing
yesterday appeared satisfied with the
opinion Of the Attorney Generals ofice
as to Gen. CroSby's eligibility.
No opposition has been made to Gen.
Crosby personally. but a group of local
organizations objected to appointment
OF retired Army officer on the ground
that such an officer is not eligible under
the Districts organic law of 1878. which
defined the qualifications of the two
commissioners to be appointed from
civil life.
DR.. George c. Havenner. president Of
the Federation of Citizens Associations.
outlined to the Senators the report pre-
pared by a special committee of the
Federation which upheld the legality
OF Gen. Crosby's appointment. The
federation also passed resolutions, DR.,
Havenner said. congratulating the
President on his efforts to obtain the
best men available for the Board of
Commissioners.
brief in support of the proposition
that an Army officer upon his retire
ment is no longer an officer of the
United States also was submitted to the
committee yesterday by the War Vet
Grams Republican Club, which went on
record as favoring the appointment of
Gen. Crosby
On behalf of the organization, Charles
E. Morganston, president, submitted a
brief discussing opinions of the United
States Supreme Court and sections of
the organic act of the District In con-
nection with his assertion that Presi-
dent Hoover In appointing Gen. Crosby
violated no positive law"
Arguments against the eligibility of
a retired Army officer were presented
by Charles w. Darr as spokesman for
the Chamber of Commerce, Board of
Trade, Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, Central Labor Union,

F|HELLY IS LIKELY
TO co UNPUBLISHED
StoII Indicates No DISCIPLE
nary Action Will BE
Recommended.

Unless new evidence is uncovered, no
disciplinary action will be recommended
in the case of Arthur j. FINELY, head
quarters detective, mysteriously beaten
up in an apartment house at Sixteenth
and S streets early Sunday morning,
Inspector Louis j. Stoll announced to-
day. Inspector Stoll added he probably
would complete his investigation and
make q full report to Mai. Henry G.
Pratt. superintendent Of police, tomor-
row or Friday.
Inspector Stoll said Fihellys account
of the attack had been corroborated by
the young woman he was visiting when
beaten. The inspector said every other
person questioned he'd supported the
original story of Fihelly.
StOll Quotes Her Story.
He quoted the girl in the case, whose
identity he declined to divulge, as hav-
ing said she had met FINELY on the
street recently after not having seen
him in about two years. He called at
her apartment Saturday night with a
friend. The three went automobile rid
ing. During the evening Fihelly's friend
left him. The couple decided to go to
the girls apartment for late supper.
The young woman said 1t was after
they arrived at her apartment that they
heard q disturbance in the hallway,
FINELY opened the front door, she said.
and returned moment later with blood
streaming down his face. She said he
appeared to be dazed.
Inspector Stoll reported Ffhelly told
him he was struck q vicious blow by
an unidentified man just after he
opened the door of the apartment. He
said he attempted to defend himself,
but was injured too severely when taken
by surprise to beat OF his aSsailant. He
said there were three men in the hall
way when he opened the door, but he
was unable to say who they were.
Mistaken Identity Blamed.
Inspector Stoll said the young woman
with whom FINELY spent the evening
was highly respectable and lived in
fashionable quarters. He expressed the
opinion that the whole affair was case
of mistaken identity. He said he be-
lieved FINELY had been struck with
flower pot by one of the men, whom he
thought were looking for some one else.
FINELY told Inspector Stoll he did not
regain all his faculties until a policeman
had placed him in a patrol wagon to
take him to the Eighth precinct, where
he was released shortly after making
known his identity.

FARE CONTINUANCE HELD VITAL.

Holding continuation Of present rates
of fare for two years as essential to the
street railway merger, Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan, told rail-
way officials yesterday afternoon he is
not interested in devoting further time
to the question of merger unless a
clause to that effect is to be accepted
by the companies in the proposed
merger agreement.
While Samuel r. Bowen, vice presi-
dent of the Washington Railway &
Electric Co., was testifying regarding
another phase of the merger proposal
Senator Vandenberg depressed to inquire
If the companies have taken final action
against the two-year moratorium on
rate increases.
Mr.. Bowen said officials Of the COM
panieS had written committees OF Con-
greSS saying they would not recon-
mend that provision. Mr.. Bowen added
that he did not believe directors OF a
company would be justified In bargain
ing away the rights of the stockholders
to earn reasonable return for any
definite time.
Chairman Capper expressed the be-
lief that If the committee acts en- the
merger resolution the companies in the
end would recognize that they would be
standing in the way of their own best
interests by not accepting it.
The meeting was called primarily to
consider the Tydings amendment, which
would give the Utilities Commission au-
thority to pass on arrangements such
as those existing between the WASH
ington Railway e. Electric Co. and the
Washington. Baltimore g. Annapolis Co.,
under which the cars of the latter enter
Washington on the tracks of the local
company. The committee heard George
r. williams of the W., b. g. A. in sup
port of the amendment and Mr.. Bowen
in opposition. No action was taken.
