DISTRICT BUS SUIT
Evidence Held Lacking That
Nevin Line Carried Pas
sengers Off Route.

A suit for $1,000 filed by the District
of Columbia against Nevin Bus Lines,
Inc, interstate carriers, for deviating
from the route in Washington prescribed
by the Public Utilities Commission was
dismissed on a directed verdict by Judge
Nathan Cayton in Municipal Court to-
day.
The suit was filed under customary
procedure to collect fines of 5000, as
sessed by the Public Utilities Commits
sion for each of five days when the
Nevin Line buses were said to have
gone of their route.
Testimony was given yesterday by in
spector for the Utilities Commission
that they had observed attractions of
the route regulations. Following their
testimony Seton Darr, defense attorney,
asked for a directed verdict on the con-
tention that Assistant Corporation
Counsel Robert Lynch had failed to
show that the buses carried passengers
from point to point within the District
of Columbia as the allegation of the
suit contended.
Lynch was allowed to reopen the
case and questioned William M. Nevin,
secretary for the bus company, but
failed to establish sufficient proof to
satisfy Judge Cayton The judge con-
tinued the case until today, when he
ruled in favor of the company.

and inconvenience.

its representatives to have the Michigan
avenue grade crossing of the Baltimore
g. Ohio tracks replaced by viaduct was
given last night by the Michigan Park
Citizens Association at meeting in the
headquarters, at Twelfth street and
Michigan avenue.
The vote was taken following a gen.
eral discussion, in which speakers
pointed out that the crossing is source
of constant danger and inconvenience
to residents of the community. The
improvement is particularly expedient,
1t was said. since the Strengthening of
Michigan avenue near the Soldiers
Home increased the movement of traffic
over that thoroughfare into Maryland
The association has been conducting
an active fight to have the viaduct
erected, and representatives have argued
the cause of the community before the
House District committee at recent seS-
sions, according to report returned tc
the meeting.
The following officers of the associa-
ton were elected: Ralph j. Endicott
president. succeeding w. M. Devinney;
r. A. Ralph, vice president; w. A.
Kilerlane, secretary; Franklin A. Adams,
treasurer; F. w. Bush, assistant secre-
tary.

tons, and Edward j. Brennan, Mr..

WOMEN URGED TO TAKE :,
UP GOVERNMENT WORK
Miss Jessie Dell Holds "Age-o1d
Prejudices" Diminishing, in
Radio Talk.

The "age-old prejudice" against wom-
en- was reported by Miss Jessie Dell.
newly appointed United States Civil
Service Commissioner, to be gradually
and steadily diminishing, as she called
upon college women throughout the
country to go into the Government
service.
Speaking over a nationwide radio
network of the National Broadcasting
Co., Miss Dell said there were branches
of the Government, which gave an un-
usually wide field for research and the
opportunity for original thinking.
"There are about $4,000 positions in
the Federal service, which ordinarily
are filled by men and women of college
training and which are subject to the
Civil Service laws" Miss Dell said. by
reason of the changes which are con-
stantly occurring, more than 1000 va
cancies in those positions occur each
year. The larger number of these 1000
opportunities for employment of college
graduates is taken advantage of by men.
The percentage of appointees follows
somewhat closely the percentages Of
eIigibles. We need more applicants from
among women who have the requisite
qualifications for these highly desirable
positiunS,"
