The trial of Mrs. Genevieve
Friel, 25-year-old Philadelphia
school teacher, on charges of
violating the bad check law was
dramatically interrupted by the

hospital for treatment and the
case was continued until Thurs
day.
Testimony developed that a
man, with whom she had been
acquainted in Baltimore and who
is said to have given her the
checks, was sentenced last week

OBSTACLES
Plan as First Reported Turns
Out Rumor; P. U. C. Officials
Know Nothing Of Proposal

Reported plans for a consolida-
ton, under a lease, of the two
local traction lines today failed
to arouse any excitement in pub
lie utilities circles of Washington.
Peoples Counsel Richmond B.
Keech, when asked about the
matter. said he had heard moth
ing of the plan until he read it in
the papers. and officials of the
Public Utilities Commission like
wise denied any knowledge of the
proposal.
They Know Nothing
Although reports said the plan
had been discussed in detail by
heads of the local traction COM
panies, William S. Ham. president
of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company. today declared
that he knew nothing at all of
the proposal and that no one had
approached him on the matter.
John H. Hanna, president of
the Capital Traction Company,
admitted that he had a confer
ence yesterday with A. X. Shipe,
of ESch, Kerr, WOoley, Newton
and Shipe, in regard to the mat
ter, but said no definite cOncIu-
sion was reached.
Mr.. Hanna indicated that he
did not expect anything tangible
to grow out of the conference.
Just window Shopping"
Mr.. Shipe said that the pub
licity given the plan was out Of
proportion to it's Importance. He
admitted that an-out-of-town con-
cern was looking over" the To-
cal traction situation and that
the matter of a lease had been
discussed. but declared that no
definite action had been taken.
No terms or figures we're dis
cussed, he said. Mr.. Shipe re-
fused to name his client.
The report was that the foreign
concern was planning to secure
control of the two companies
under long term lease and pro-
ceed to operate them as a single
unit.
Several obstacles are in the way
of the move, even if the consent
of the traction companies to the
lease is obtained.

Ign Saturday. One of the markets is
near 10th ST. and another near 18th

the Food Workers Industrial Union,
and are determined to enforce union
conditions in these markets.
No sooner did the strike start than
the A. F. L. Local 1873 rushed in,
called up the police for the boss, and
without having a single member
among the striking workers, put up
signs claiming the markets were

Within half an hour after the
strikers began picketing, the employ
ers and Business Agent Rothberg of
Local 1913 had out an Injunction
against picketing, and Rothberg was
on the scene, pointing out to the
police the strikers he wanted arrested.
Eight were arrested Saturday, and
held on $500 bail. Yesterday three
were arrested, and two are held in
Raymond st. Jail. All eleven ar
rested pickets will come up for a
hearing Thursday.
The strike will probably spread
