CAPPER To PUSH
D. c. TRAFFIC
CHANGES
D. c. Committee Head Seeks
to Speed Passage Of Bills
Sought by Commissioners

The Senate District Committee
is preparing to expedite passage
of the proposed new traffic code
for the city and Of the bill which
would replace the Borland act
governing assessment Of property
for street improvements.
Senator Arthur Capper,, chair
man Of the committee, said today
he is studying the two measures
which have been prepared by the
District Commissioners and that
he intends to hold public hear
ings on both measures as soon
as Congress reconvenes in Janu-
airy.
Two Laws Asked
These two bills constitute the
main point Of the Commissioners
legislative program for the short
session Of Congress, according to
Senator Capper. Since they are
the principal measures which the
city heads are seeking to have
made law, the chairman Is anXi-
Gus that the committee do every
thing possible to get them through
the legislative mill.
Concentration Of the activities
Of the committee on these two
bills may mean the sacrifice Of
District measures now on the Sen
ate calendar. Most Of these are in
a precarious position at best, how
ever, and only the most optimistic
of the Districts friends think they
could be enacted.
Traffic Rules Needed
A new traffic law for the Dis.
trict is held by many to be q vital
necessity. Under the bill spon-
sored by the Commissioners. con-
troll of traffic problems would be
centered in their hands.
From the standpoint of the
city's finances it is declared that a
substitute for the Borland law
must be enacted at once. The Bor-
land act provides for the assess
ment of abutting property to de-
fray the costs Of street improve
mentS. The law has been under
fire in the courts and some Of its
provisions have been declared ur-
constitutional. It Is for this rea-
son that the Commissioners have
drawn their anendatory bill.

To ASK
SENATORIAL
ACTION
Power Trust Interests OF
New Group Scanned; Foes
Seek Removal by Senate


Retaliatory measures against
the new Federal Power Comnnis'
sion, which signalized its a.
sumption Of office by abruptly
dismissing three executives who
have been fighting the encroach-
ments of the power trust" are
being planned today on several
fronts.
A determined band Of Pro
gressives will ask the Senate 10
reconsider and to repudiate its
confirmation Of several Of the
new members, which action was
taken hastily just before the body
recessed for the Christmas holi-
days last Saturday night.
The Civil Service Commission
is to be asked to investigate the
discharge Of william v. King,
chief accountant, who has Civil
Service status.
Acts To BE PrO5ed
An investigation Of the entire
incident involving the kicking out
of office Of Mr.. King, r. r. Bon
ne" executive secretary, and
Charles A. Russell, solicitor, prob
ably will be undertaken by the
Senate Interstate Commerce Conn
mittee, of which Senator Couz-
ems, Of Michigan, an outstanding
Progressive, is chairman.
Further inquiry into the threat
ened dismissal Of several score
Of Civil Service employees of the
commission, who were informed
yesterday by George Otis Smith.
the new chairman, that their Jobs
would not continue for more than
80 days.
The incident threatens to be
the starting point of a new do.
bate in the Senate over power
trust" influence with the new
commission. It is known that
the discharged officials repeat
edly have been active in foiling
the Vaccinations Of powerful
utilities seeking favorable leases
from the body.
According to ProgressiveS, the
stage is being set by the new
commission, with the support Of
Secretary Of the Interior Ray
Lyman Wilbur, for the granting
wholesale of leases Of valuable
power sites to private interests,
with q minimum Of publicity or
public hearings.
Party Split Looms
The new alignment probably
will harden the demand of the
Progressives for an extra session
of Congress to consider, among
other measures, the CouzenS bill
imposing drastic regulation Of all
corporations dealing in the inter.
state transmission Of power.
Should the Administration fight
this measure. the q. o. p. rift
will become wider than 1t has
been In 90 years, observers say.
One Senator declared today:
Talk about the BaMinger-
PinChOt fight! That won't be 0
marker to what is coming f
the new power commission
starts to give away valuable
public rights without adequate
protection to the public. I
should say that the develop
mentS Of the past 4S hOurs
have given our fight against
the power trust an impetus
which win be felt for months
to come"
Throughout the western States
the power trust" issue Is one Of
paramount Importance and will
be one of the most important
factors in the 1892 elections.
Every act Of the new commission
will be carefully watched by its
opponents, who are hopeful that
the impending threat in the Sen.
ate to reconsider its confirmation
| win be successful.

PLAN COSTS
800 JOBS
189 Dealers, 200 Farmers Seek
Stay in Government Program
For Razing Old Structure

A weekly payroll amounting to
about $4,000 will be lost to Wash.
tngton through the closing up of
Center Market, due for demoli-
tion next month, it was declared
today by dealers Of the market
who are attempting to stave off
imminent disruption of their bust
ness.
Officials Of the Center Market
Dealers Association, who are
pleading for q "stay Of execution"
Tor the old establishment, pointed
out today that the weekly payroll
now runs to neraly $4,000. They
9urther assert that q forced move
will greatly curtail their 0usi-
neSSeS and in some cases abandon
ment will be necessary, thus the
weekly payroll will cease to exist
Tor the most part.
$50 Are Employed
Retail dealers in the market, it
was said, now employ about 750
persons. Approximately 500 Of this
number have already been mott
lied that after January /, the
closing date, their services will no
longer be required.
Officers Of the association
pointed out today they are not
seeking to block the Govern
ment's Mall building program,
but they assert that there are
other portions Of the program
which could receive attention Inn
mediately rather than the pro
1ected archives building which is
to occupy the site Of the market.
Farmers Are Hit
Another point which the
dealers make is the retail farmers
line, numbering about 200 per-
sons, will entirely disappear from
the District II Center Market lis
closed before an adequate site is
chosen for the line.
The dealers assert that the
: Secretary Of the Treasury has
authority to extend the life of
the market for 80 days. They
are urging that this extension be
granted in order that they may
have an opportunity to have Con.
gress study the situation and
possibly extend the life Of the
establishment for another year
during which q site may be chosen
and new market established.
