BLAINE WILL OFFER
REALTY BILLS AGAIN
Senator to ReintroduCe Three
Local Measures in
New Congress.

Three bills to regulate the sale OF
securities, the foreclosure of mortgages
and to provide for licensing real estate
brokers and statesmen in the District of
Columbia will be reintroduced by Sen
ator Blaine, Republican, Wisconsin,
shortly after the new Congress meets,
the Senator said today, following his
return to the city.
Senator Blaine is a member of the
District Committee and headed the
subcommittee which had charge of these
measures following the Senate investi-
cation into realty and financing mat
tiers last year.
All three of the bills passed the Sen
ate, but were not acted on by the
House, and since this will be a new
Congress all unfinished measures must
be reintroduced and go through both
branches of Congress again.
Senator Blaine said there probably
would be minor changes in phraseology
CT the proposed legislation, but nothing
that would change the basic principles
of regulation provided in them. The
real estate measure would create COM
mission to issue licenses to brokers and
statesmen. The securities bill would
place regulation of the sale of stocks
and bonds under the Public Utilities
Commission. The third bill would out
line procedure to be followed in court
in foreclosing mortgages.
The Senator said he could not state
at this time whether there would be
further hearings at the Senate end of
the Capitol in connection with this
legislation.

COMMISSION SUES
TRACTION FIRMS
Action Seen Move to Force
Them to Pay Costs of
Fights on Orders.

A move to saddle on the public utility
corporations of the District the expenses
of all litigation growing out of orders
Of the Public Utilities Commission was
foreseen by public utility experts today
in the suit filed in the District Supreme
Court Wednesday against the Washing
ton Railway g. Electric and Capital
Traction Cos.
Primarily, the commissions action is
designed to recover from the two street
railway companies the cost to the COM
mission in fighting the appeal from its
decision in the higher fare case in
1929. The underlying motive, however,
1t was said Is to establish the principle
that public utility corporation should
pay the entire cost Of all cases appealed
to the courts from the commissions
orders.
Effect on Appeals Seen.
Should the commission win the suit,
it was pointed out it would be in a
position to engage, at the expense Of
the companies, expert witnesses for
court cases. In the past, it is held.
the commission has been handicapped
in defending cases taken into court by
the lack of funds with which to employ
high-paid public utility experts as
witnesses
Inc OPINION also Is pTtVdlelC aiming
public utility officials that should the
courts establish the principle that util-
ity corporation pay the cost of all liti-
CATION in cases in which the COM
mission is involved fewer appeals would
be carried to the courts.
$4,000 for Printing Asked.
A favorable decision in the suit, it
was said, also would give the commits
sion another weapon to use in the
regulation of taXicabs. Taxi owners
and operators who violate the commits
sion's orders, it was explained, could
be taken to court and compelled to pay
the expenses of the proceedings
The commissions suit against the car
companies alleges they owe the Dis
trict $4,000 which represents the cost
to the commission in defending the
car fare decision in 1929, which the
companies appealed. Printing of the
record, the commission said, cost So, 074,
and the brief printing cost 1924 95.
The commission contends these costs
should be borne equally by the two
traction companies.

RAIL LINES TRACKS
ADD TO u. S. COSTS
Government to Compute Ex-
penSe in Triangle to Meet
Company's Claims.

Continuance of the Mount Vernon
Alexandria g. Washington Railway in
the Federal triangle, where 1t crosses
public building sites in three places,
is costing the Federal Government a
substantial sum.
Delay occasioned by the railway is
holding back the progress of the largest
group Of connected buildings in the
National Capital, and many devices
have to be reSorted to by contractors
to allow the railway to continue to
operate.
1t is understood this expense will be
computed, and when the railway goes
to Congress to ask for compensation for
its line, Congress will be presented with
the figures showing how much more the
Government had to spend because the
railway did not vacate earlier 1t was
predicted in official circles that Con-
gress would take all this into considera-
ton in listening to any claims presented
by the railway for reimbursement for
loss of its tracks.
TunneIing Under Tracks.
One of the expenses is tunneling I'M
der the tracks to lay new sewers. AL
ready one such tunnel had to be built
on Thirteen-and-a-hal street. Work
men today were digging under the
tracks at the corner of Twelfth and G
streets to carry a new sewer. The
tracks and their underground high
power electric transmission system have
to be braced up while workmen tunnel
under
Gates are being constructed in the
high board fence which now surrounds
the building site in order to pass the
street cars through the place.
When power ShovelS reach the tracks
on c street, which they are expected
to do soon, 1t is likely that the tracks
will have to be "shored up" in order to
prevent them from falling down into the
excavation. This will further delay the
building program in that locality.
Terminal Remains Standing.
The tracks now cross the site of the
new Post Office Department on both G
and D streets between Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets, the site of the Gov
and-a-half street between Constitution
avenue and C street. Power shovels
have been working on both sides OF the
tracks on Thirteen-and-a-half street.
Workmen today began tearing down
the small group of remaining build
ingS at the southwest corner OF Twelfth
and D streets. from which occupants
have moved. But the terminal OF the
still remains in use at the cor
ner OF Pennsylvania avenue and
Twelfth street, being used now by both
the railway and the bus lines owned
by Robert L. May of Alexandria.
The railway has been fighting the
in the courts to keep its
lines running until Congress meets.
Both the railway and the Treasury
Department will go to Congress to
settle the question of whether the rail-
way is to be reimbursed for its loss,
and when 1t is to get out.

UNION TO ALLEVIATE FRICTION

Japan at one time during the present controversey raging between that country and China announced 1t as her intention to hold Mancuria until the attitude there favorable to her interests China does not 1t that way However it said that the long reaches of ther Time may some day do away with the friction which exists between the nations by making them No other permanent or definite solution possible.
 China may absorb Japan by the working of slow eth nic process end then again China may become Ja- pan under the rule that the fittest survive.
 Whether not the present controversey will result in this solution to the friction the problem which has been before the peoples of the two nations for ages cannot be said but eventually such fusion will result.
 The possibility of such fusion should quiet the fears of those who world menace in Russia On the con- trary slavic power may have be dealt with before the supremacy of the yellow people becomes reality.
