came upon one of the most picturesque
horse breeders in Virginia. Located on
farm in the country back of Manas-
sas and Bull Run, hidden away from
the dust-raising wheels of motorists,
an old colored man had been breeding
and raising horses since the closing
days of the Civil War, when as a young
man of nineteen years, he found him
self freed man.
AS a small boy "Uncle Henry" had
helped with the "hosseS" about ''ole
Marses" estate and had learned much
about the science of horse breeding and
training 1t is said that no one in
Virginia has better horse flesh" than
the old ex-slave, still strong and well
despite his years.
From Uncle Henry" Mrs. Dodd and
Miss Wahl purchased two or three fine
colts, which were sent to Wolf Trap
Farm for the generals daughter to
break.
Miss Wahl had the satisfaction last
May of seeing her self-trained 4-year-
old, seven-eighths thoroughbred "Peb-
bles" carry away third place of honor
in thoroughbred class at the National
Capital Horse Show.

BOARD OF TRADE
COUNTS TRAFFIC
Survey Indicates Virginia
Cars Could Be Routed
Across Avenue.

Traffic counts taken recently at
Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue indicated 1t would be possible
TO route Virginia street cars across that
intersection, A. K. Shipe of the Wash
1ngton Board of Trade, declared yester-
DAY. despite the contention of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission that more cars
would bring serious congestion.
Mr.. Shipe said Washington and Vir-
ginia civic interests had been assured
they would be given another hearing
soon by the Public Utilities Commission
SO they might present the details Of the
survey. They also will inform the
BOARD OF information collected in many
missionaries distributed among pass
engers OF the Mount Vernon, Alexan-
drla and Washington and Arlington
and Fairfax Railway Companies.
The railway interests have been seek
ing authority to extend their lines
across Pennsylvania avenue at Four
them at Fourteenth street and Consti-
tuition avenue as suggested by the Pub
Tic Utilities Commission. They must
make some radical change as their
present terminal at Twelfth and D
streets will be eliminated soon by the
Federal building program.
Regardless of the statements Of
commission members that it would be
physical impoSsibility to send the
Virginia street cars across the avenue, u
Mr.. Shipe said, "our count convinced
me 1t could be done. 1t might mean
that persons using this intersection
would need a bit more time to go to and
from work, but they soon would become
accustomed to that"
The count disclosed some 400 street
cars already pass the Pennsylvania
avenue and Fourteenth street intersec-
ton while the morning traffic is at its
peak between 7:30 and $50. Even
more cars were found to pass the inter-
section in the afternoon rush hours.

WOOD AND PIERCE
SILENT ON RUMOR
Report Gas Company's Head
Will Refuse Reelection
Is UnConfirmed.

Speculation centered last night on re-
ports that George A. G. Wood, presi-
dent of the Washington Gas Light Co.,
had informed A. E. Peirce, head of the
Central Public Service Corporation of
Chicago, that he would not be a candi-
date for reelection at the annual meet
ing of stockholders in January, as plans
were completed for starting the hearing
before the Public Utilities Commission
tomorrow on the relations between the
two companies.
Queried by the Associated Press on
the report, Col. PIERCE, in Chicago, re-
ferred his questioner to Wood. Wood
declined to confirm or deny the re-
port. "All I can say at this time. -
he said. lis that any communication I
may have had with Mr.. Peirce is per-
sonal ana confidential"
Hearing to Air Control.
At the hearing tomorrow the matter
of the relations between the two COR
porationS will be scanned closely. Thus
far the commission Is informed that
"a per cent of the capital stock Of the
local company is owned by the West
field Trust. which, in turn, is owned by
the Central Public Service Corporation,
of which Col PIERCE is president. Col.
PIERCE recently was elected to the boards
of directors of the Washington Gas
Light Co. and the Georgetown Gas
Light Co., the latter owned by the
former While attending a meeting
of the board of directors of the former,
he was served with subpoena to APP
pear at the hearing tomorrow.
The inquiry into present control OF
the gas company Is directed to finding
out whether it is in violation of the La
Toilette anti-merger act forbidding for
eign public utility or holding corporations
to own, hold or vote more than 20 per
, cent of the stock of Washington public
| utility corporations.
Will Hear Gas Pressure Plea.
Part of the hearing will be devoted
to hearing the company's petition for
an increase in the allowable maximum
and minimum pressures for gas in the
distributor system. The present OFF,
cial standards call for a minimum pres
sure of inches and maximum OF 6
inches. The commission, however. has
set temporary allowable maximum OF
inches, and the company is asking for
| new standards of 3 inches minimum
and 10 inches maximum.
The company intends to claim that II
the commission insists on its present
standards it will compel the company
to spend some 100000 on extra equip
| ment, which will be paid for by the
gas consumers and will do no particular
good
The company will claim that the re-
uueSted increase in allowable preSSureS
will make no difference in consumers
bills and that the high-preSSure gas will
give better service, provided the appll-
ances are properly adjusted.
