on Flight From Capital
to Buenos Aires.

Capt. A. w. Stevens, famous aerial
photographer of the National Geo.
graphic Society's survey of sky path
routes from Washington to Buenos
Aires, last night told an audience of the
society's members at the washington
Auditorium about the 12,000-mile trip
in a huge plane, with many inland
trips to regions inaccessible to the land
bound traveller.
At Havana the flyers had the good
fortune to encounter a water spout,
filming that phenomenon for the first
time from the air. Then they took
aerial photographs Of Christophe's ia
nous citadel in Haiti, and garnered
air views of the odd island. Saba, ris-
ing like a cooked hat from the sea,

The famous pitch lakes Of Trinidad,
source of thousands of miles Of Ameri-

the air, as also were scenes Of the little
known Guianas, the mouth of the
Orinoco and the great, sprawling mouth

Closeup views were obtained Of Mont

JUDGE HEARS CRIMINAL
CASE WITHOUT JURY
Rules Defendant Guilty and I'm
poses Penitentiary Sentence.
Defense Appeals.

Justice Oscar r. Luhring has the
distinction to be the first justice of the
District Supreme Court to render a
verdict of guilty In a criminal case
which he heard without a Jury. One
other such hearing was held last wear
by Justice William Hitz, but he granted
an acquittal at the request of the
prisoners counsel. Only recently has
IT been permissible to try felony case
before justice of the District Supreme
Court In the absence of a Jury.
The court held Talley Day guilty of
q charge Of HOUSEKEEPING and larceny
IN connection with the theft of SOS
from the home of Charles Lingle al

SCHOOL FARE CUT.
ADOPTION PRESSED
Utility Body Also Requests
Congress to Pass Gas
Merger Bill.

The Public Utilities Commission yes
terday sent to Congress request for
the passage of two bills-one bill pro-
viding reduced fare for school children
and the other bill for the merger Of
the Washington and Georgetown Gas
Light Companies.
In the school fare bill, there is no
statement as to.wllat the reduction shall
be. 1t is to affect all children under
16 years of age, whether attending pub
lie or private schools. This legislation
is looked upon with favor by the House
District Committee and is not objected
to by the car companies, and it is be-
lieved that it may have a good chance
of passage. There was some doubt
whether the Commission had the power
to order the reduced fares of its own
motion, and the present bill is intended
to prevent any collateral attack on such
an order if issued by the Commission.
The merger bill is sought by the gas
companies and has previously been APP
proved by the commission. The Wash
ington company now owns 100 per cent
pany, but the corporate merger is sought
to obviate some duplicate expenses.
The commission ordered the Wash
ington Railway & Electric and the
Capital Traction companies to issue
1-cent intercompany transfers to pas
sengers wishing to transfer in any d.
rection at Georgia avenue and Kennedy
street. Previously passengers leaving
the cars of one company at this point
on uric 20 -
another had to pay second fare.
Permits were granted the Barnard
Bus Lines, Inc, to run buses from
Washington to Greensboro, N. c., and
the Shenandoah Stages, Inc, to run a
bus line from here to Knoxville, Tenn.

gency Contingent Fund" Eppropri-
ated in 1929, Ogden declared:
ut will be noted that this fund

itations are placed upon It, use. y
ain my opinion, however, It's char
acter as public funds is not changed
by the above fact, and as a matter
of course it must be used by the
Governor In the furtherance Of or
to meet the necessity of SOME
EXECUTIVE FUNCTION within
the scope of the duties devOlving
upon him In his OFFICIAL CA
PACITY.
THE Constitution vests the ex-
ecutive powers Of the state in the
Governor. He is the commander
in-chief of The military and naval
forces of the state. He Is required
by the Constitution to transact all
necessary business with the officers
Of government and to take care
that the laws be faithfully exc
cuted."
McNutt Case Cited
Ogden came to the conclusion in
the McNutt case, which involved
the question Of an expenditure in
connection with a resolution, rather
than an act, that the resolution
"does not have the binding force
of law; that In the absence of
express limitation in the appropri-
alton or other law, the Governor
has a wide discretion in the use
of his emergency contingent fund"
The resolution, which provided the
commission should serve without
pay, was without force to forestal
the McNutt reimbursement, he held.
