interstate BUS
STUDY ORDERED
June z Set at Tentative Date
for Utilities Commission
to Open Inquiry.

Definite plans for stricter regulation
and control Of interstate motor BUSES
running into the District will be dis
cussed by the Public Utilities Commits
sion at 9 hearing tentatively set yes
terday for June 2.
Notices Of the hearing sent the oper-
ators indicate that all phases Of the
bus operations are TO be considered
the use Of public streets as termini,
the establishment Of private terminals,
equipment Of vehicles and other re-
lated subjects.
Whatever action the commission
takes as q result Of the hearing will be
based on the authority given 1t in the
new trafac act to become effective
July /. This act removes all doubt as
to the power of the commission to
route the interstate carriers and locate
their stops within the District.
Bans Considered.
A plan the commission had under
consideration sometime ago proposed
the Punishment of the interstate buses
entirely from the congested area, which
it described as Seventh street on the
east, Seventeenth street on the west,
B street on the south and K street on
the north. If this was held to be too
drastic, the commission at that time
said the buses should be prohibited
from using the streets within that zone
as termini and for the purpose Of load
ing and unloading passengers.
Richmond B. Keech, peoples counsel
before the commission, said he would
support the commission in any move 1t
makes to tighten the regulation and
control Of the interstate buses and keep
them out Of the business section.
Congestion within the downtown
area" he declared, renders 1t essen
tial that those In authority exert all
of their facilities to make the highways
and streets Of the District more pass
able by removing things and obstacles
which impede progress, and to see that
certain streets, more particularly those
within the strictly business district, are
relieved OF all cumbersome vehicles both
in movement and at rest, which must
not, Of necessity, make use of them.
Most notable among these are buses
! used In the transportation of persons
from one Jurisdiction to another.
Holds Merchants Suffer.
washington has become a mecca
for interstate buses. Operators Of
these buses, through their desire more
keenly to compete with the steam and
electric railways, endeavored to route
| their vehicles so as to pass through
the heart Of the downtown section.

the household was awakened by the barking OF
dogs and the talking of servants, indicating
that some one had arrived. The household had
retired for the night. 1t was discovered that

Alexandria in a rowboat accompanied by an

COL. DODGE emphasizes that there is not

a couple of years previous in Philadelphia by
man named Wright. Col. Dodge's version of
that is as follows:
Washington was in Philadelphia and the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-02-08

story is that an attempt was made by Wright to
make the life mask. Washington at first re-
fused, but finally agreed to submit to it.. When
he was to pose they covered his face with OIL
first putting straws in his nose so that he might
breathe. The operation was so unpleasant that
he had an ugly grimace. The sculptor expressed
keen disappointment and explained to WASH
ington how unfortunate it was that he had not
thought to preserve better expression. WASH
ington finally gave way and allowed second
trial to be made. In this second impression
he made an effort and did preserve a normal
facial expression. The sculptor, upon looking
at it, was so thrilled and excited at his success
that he dropped and broke it. Washington
swore that he would never submit to the ordeal
again.

Dodge continues, about the taking of q life

Gently sentenced in the Police Court At
that place to receive 10 lashes for wife
beating, is named defendant in suit
for limited divorce filed in Circuit
Court here yesterday afternoon by Mrs.
Rosa Nell Carlton, who is represented
by Attorney Milton Whitney, jr.

with cruelty, alleging that because OF
his treatment of her she was forced to
leave him. She asks to be awarded
custody of the couples 4-month-old
baby and to be allowed alimony for the
support Of herself and child.
Judge Robert B. Peter signed an
order directing the defendant, who is a
carpenter, to pay $40 month pending

The wife's petition states that the
couple was married in Richmond, Va,
December %, 1922, and have but the

Carlton appealed to the Circuit Court
in the whipping case and is at liberty
on bond. If the Maryland Court of

Judge Peter that the act of the Legis

of police justice in Takoma Park is
unconstitutional, Carlton will escape
the whipping which Justice A. L. Will
son srdered administered.

WatchfuI Waiting Is Policy
as Third Party Looms
in Campaign.
Br the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Watchful waiting Is the attitude Of
the Republican high command toward
the third party movement.
News of the threatened break of the
Republican independents of the North
west from the party In 1882 naturally
is drawing notice from party leaders,
but neither President Hoover nor
Chairman F'eSs of the Republican Ma
tional Committee Is commenting.
There is an inclination among the
regular Republican leaders to scout
third party talk as political maneuver
at this early stage in the presidential
race.
May Aid Hoover Cause.
There also is belief among some
that Republican bolt might serve to
aid the Hoover cause in 1882 on the
ground the third party would take away
a block of the dissent vote which other
wise probably would go to the oppoSl-
tion ticket.
Others, however, vividly recall the
disastrous Republican split of 1912 be-
tween President Taft and Theodore
Roosevelt and the resulting election of
woodrow wilson,
The Hoover leaders are more imme-
diately concerned in uniting their
forces to assure his denomination.
There is every sign that the President
is going to encounter open opposition
in the forthcoming primaries.
Senator johnson of California is keep
ing all sides guessing on his intentions.
1t is realized that race between
Johnson and Hoover in their home
State of California might have real
effect upon the next Republican con-
vention. This primary is among the
first to be held.
Want Progressive" Candidate.
Regardless of third party, there b
no doubt that the Northwestern Repub-
lican independents are ready to support
what they term Progressive" candi-
date against Hoover for the nomina-
ton.
In addition to Johnson, Senators
Norris of Nebraska, Borah of Idaho
and Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania, are
among those the group would be glad
to back
Norris himself has declined to 20 into
the Republican convention race. He
bolted Hoover in the 1923 campaign,
however. and around the veteran Ne
braska political insurgent is clustering
the hopes of those talking about third
party.
