EGG CASE FACES

Shunted from the White House
to various Government depart

against F. E. Bonner. executive
secretary of the Federal Power
Commission, probably will be
pigeonholed at the Department
of Justice.
The department today received
an opinion on the case from the
local Federal attorney and it was
announced the prosecutor recon-
mended against possible court &C

FLAMING YOUTH
STILL S|ZZLES

A certain amount of drinking
is INDUCED in at parties of high
school students. but conditions
are not so bad as some would
make you believe, according to a
survey made into the private life
of the pupils.
At the request Of A. w. w.
Woodcock, of the National Com
mission on Law Observance and
Enforcement. and J. w. Crabtree,
of the National Education Asso-
citation, the study was made by
the principals. who interviewed
the students in strict confidence.
While some admitted drinking,
smoking and petting. others said
that such things were INDUCED
in only by the "rabble."
To one boy who was oues-
toned, smoking seemed more of
an issue than drinking. He ad.
nitted both have a certain
g1amor.
At one school, it was said,
drinking paled into tnsignificance
beside gambling.

BILL To CURB
. THEM URGED
Utilities Commission Chief
Tells House Committee Of
Need Here for Regulation

Asserting that the taxiCab situa.
ton in the Capital is facing
chaos and period of cut throat
competition" Gen. Mason M.
Patrick, chairman of the Public
Utilities Commission appeared
today before the subcommittee
Of the House District Committee
and recommended immediate
action upon the Capper-McLeod
bill giving the commission author
ity to require a showing of fin.
ancial responsibility before any
taxicab operator is given
license.
General Patrick testified that
in at least so cities laws like
the Capper-McLeod bill are in
effect. He denied that the
present agitation for taxicab re-
gulation here was to drive off the
35-cent taxicabS.
Blocked by Courts
General Patrick said in part:
The Public Utilities Commits
sion thought it had au .hOrity
to regulate taxicabs in the Dis.
trict, but recent decisions of
of the court indicate our in
ability to regulate them. I
have no thought of stopping
the 35-cent cabs, which have
recently come upon our streets.
and l cannot say here today
whether that fare is too low
or zoo high.
"All the Public Utilities Corn.
mission wants is some slight
amendments to the pending bill,
which will give this commits
sion authority to demand that
any taxicab company shall
make proof before the commits
sion by filing with the cOmmiS.
sion a bond or policies of in
Surance satisfactory to the com.
mission
Acting Chairman Mcleod asked
General Patrick If he knew
whether Government clerks in off
hours, were operating taxicabs in
the District. Patrick replied
Doubts Profits
II have heard that, but I do
not know it of my own per.
sOnal knowledge"
Mcleod asked if this would not
injure the legitimate taxicab busi-
ness, in the District and General
Patrick agreed that it would if
such a practice were common
here.
Mcleod than inquired If Gen
eral Patrick tohought any taxicab
in the city could operate on
35-cent rate for the city proper.
Patrick replied:
Il doubt if any taxicab COM
pany in the District can oper-
ate profitably on this rate. How
ever, that is their business and
not mine"
Mcleod asked if General Pat
rick did not consider the present
taXlcab situation in the District
as start of a taxicab war in
the Capital and informed Patrick
that for nearly three years there
had been taxicab war and jit- !
ney controversy in his home city

A special meeting Of the Trim
idad Citizens Association, will be
held Monday night in the Wheat
ley school at which time plans
for appealing to the District
Supreme Court in relation to
tax assessments for widening
Benning Road northeast, will be
formulated.
1t was brought out at meet
ing last night that the District
assessors were authorized to
assess all property owners along
the thoroughfare, from Fifteenth
and H streets northeast to the
Anacostia River, for the widen
ing of the street.
Owners of property in nearby
streets were also assessed for the
improvement it was explained at
the meeting last. night. The asso-
citation went on record favoring
a change in building contracts
which would specify that all con-

Many to Lose Jobs Here IF
Natural Gas Comes

The future of several hundred
employees of the Washington Gas
Light Company hangs in the
balance as the proposal to pipe
natural gas into Washington is
the subject of negotiation.
A cutting down of the force
appears to be a certainty if the
local company goes out of the
business of manufacturing gas
and decides to buy it from firms
which have acquired control Of
the West Virginia natural gas
fields.
No substantial progress has yet
been made towards the consum-
nation of the natural gas pro-
ject, however. so far as Washing
ton is concerned. There are
three reasons why negotiations
are being held in abeyance.
Awaiting Merger
One is the fact that merger
legislation in Congress. permitting
consolidation in name as we'll
as in fact between the Washing
ton Gas Light Company and the
Georgetown Gas Light Company.
is now pending.
Another is that the new
owners of the gas company al
ready have made plans for the
erection of a by-produCt plant
near Washington, and are not at
all convinced that with the in
stallation of new manufacturing
equipment they cannot make gas
about as Cheaply as they can buy
it after being plped here from
West Virginia.
A third factor is the financial
setup of the Columbia Gas and
Electric Company. the natural
gas corporation trying to bring
its product into Washington. as
we'll as to Richmond, Baltimore,
and other cities.
The Columbia company has as
sets of $25O.000,0O0 and IS per
cent of it's stock has been
acquired by the United Corpora
ton. a holding company con-
trolled by the j. P. Morgan inter
ests.

the Washington Gas Light Com
pany. Under the circumstances
it may be assumed that the local
company is not at all anxious to
do business with the Columbia,
and will do so only on the basis
of a business proposition too
good to be turned down.
The Seaboard Investment Trust
has promised an immediate 10
per cent reduction in the gas rate
if they are permitted to merge
the Georgetown Gas Light Com
pany with the Washington Gas
Light Company, both of which
they own. They expect to make
this reduction possible partly by
reducing the cost of manufacture

the cost of distribution by selling

RATE Of SUICIDE
HERE GAINS

The suicide rate in the District
jumped from III deaths in 1928
to 100 in 1929 according to a
tabulation released yesterday by
the Spectator Company Of New
York city. This makes PIT deaths
per 100000 population in the Dis
trict during 1929 and places
Washington we'll up on the list of
highest suicide rates.
Sacramento. Calf. was high in
the country with a rate of 52.6
per 100000 The total number of
deaths by self destruction in the
United States was 6,633.
Gloucester, Mass, did not have
a single suicide in 1929. Accord
ing to the tabulation. suicides in
creased materially following the
stock market crash last fall.
Jumping from high places is
reported on the increase although
the majority of suicides were
committed with firearms.
