company would expect that the Public
Utilities Commission would see to 1t
that the loss was made up.
Ticket Procedure Outlined.
"Our position has never varied" Mr.
Ham said. I'VE felt that Congress
should never have fixed any rate, since
the commission is the rate-making body,
and we also felt that we should not be
called upon to suffer a loss in revenue
without having that made UP to US in
some manner"
When it came to details, however, he
pointed out that he could not predict
what the Executive Committee would
decide 10 do.
The rules adopted by the commission
yesterday provide generally for the sale
of tickets by the company in books of
10 or 40 at the rate of cents per
ticket. Pupils, in order to ride at the
reduced fare, must present a ticket,
and a tender of cents cash will not
allow them to ride. The tickets will be
available at various points to be decided
later. In order to get book of tickets
the school child must fill out an appli-
cation blank countersigned by his
teacher, and the ticket itself will serve
to identify him as school child. They
are available to children up to the age
of 10.
Transfer arrangements will be the
same as at present, except that there
is one additional free transfer point,
between the Capital Traction cars and
the Washington Rapid Transit BUSES at
Fourteenth street and Colorado avenue.
There viii be two classes of tickets.
One color will be for pupils at the day
schools, and viii be good only between
7:30 am. and pm. The other color
win be for night school pupils and will
be good between 4:30 and IL pm. None
CT the tickets viii be good on Saturdays,
Sundays or legal holidays
The commission today took steps To
provide private and parochial schools
with tickets to be sold at the schools
Information Is Requested.
A form letter was dispatched to the
schools asking for statements as to the
number Of pupils enrolled in the schools
who have not reached the age of IL
-and who wish to take advantage of the
reduced fares The schools are re-
quested to designate representatives who
will receive the tickets delivered to the
school and who will be responsible for
their sale
Under the terms Of the commisSion'S
regulations the benefits of the act are
TO be available to children of the public
schools and of other schools where the
courses of instruction are similar.
Accordingly one OF the questions In
the letter is whether the courses of in
struction Is similar to those in the pub
lie schools.

SNOWSTORMS FAIL
TO REACH CAPITAL
Current 'WinterIess" Winter
Escapes Threats From
North and South.

washington escaped another threat
against its record "Winterless Winter
of 1930-31" last night and today when
two representative American snow
storms, one of unusual severity, de-
veloped to the north and to the south
but passed on their respective ways,
utterly ignoring the National Capital.
The weather here is to remain fair,
with no change in temperature today
and tomorrow, according to the Weather
Bureau forecast.
Mail and passenger planes on the
transport lines operating out Of the
Capital ran into snow in both directions
during the night and morning. Heavy
snow IN North Carolina, which piled
up five inches deep at Charlotte. held
up the night northbound plane until
this morning.
Northbound out Of Washington, the
planes encountered snow between Phil
adelphia and New York Capt. Frank
NJ. Hawks took off in his plane in a
Snowstorm from Roosevelt Field, N. Y.
at 10:14 this morning bound for the
National Capital according to Asso-
ciated Press dispatches. He is the host
at luncheon here in honor of David
s. Ingalls,, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy. Capt. Hawks used Ingalls, Navy
CurtiSs ''Helldiver'' in a fight with VIII
Rogers through the Southwestern States
recently in the drought relief campaign.
Charles /. Mitchell, forecaster at the
Weather Bureau, reported the storm to
the north of Washington is very severe
and covers an extraordinarily large
area. The center of the storm this
morning was 800 miles at sea, east
southeast of Nantucket. Mass. Heavy
SHOWS and high winds accompanied the
storm, though the only effect locally
was a barometric disturbance.
At Nantucket last night the winds
reached velocity of so miles per hour,
while 7o-mile winds were reported at
sea today There is heavy snow through
out the New England States. This dis
turbance is moving off to sea today.
The North Carolina storm was small.
and was confined almost exclusively to
that State. Most of North Carolina had
a little snow during the night.

ROOSEVELT MOVES
TO CONTROL PARTY
Governor Seen Serving Notice
He, Not Smith, Is Demo-
cratic Leader.
nv tbs Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 4.-The New
York Times said yesterday; Defeat Of
the plan of John j. RaSkob, Democratic
national chairman, and former Gov.
Alfred e. Smith to get the Democratic
National Committee to declare against
prohibition at its meeting in Washing
ton seemed assured last night when
James A. Farley, Democratic State
chairman, obtained the proxy of Miss
Elizabeth Marbury, member of the Ma
tional Committee from this State.
"Mr. Farley will attend the Washing
ton meeting and make known the po-
Sition of the New York State Demo-
cratic organization as expressed by the
State Committee at Albany Monday in
adopting a resolution asking the Ma
tional Committee to take no action on
prohibition or any other national issue.
Mr.. Farley has become the leader
for Gov. Roosevelt'S nomination for
President in this State and seems as
sured of enough support from wet States
to join with dry committee members to
defeat any anti-prohibition resolution
by two or three to one, If Mr.. Raskob
should decide to press 1t. The con-
census among Democrats here is that
Mr.. Raskob will not press such reSo-
luton in the face of virtually certain
defeat and that Mr.. Smith probably
will not remain in Washington for the
meeting.
by the action of the State Commit
tee, the governor, it was said, has served
notice to New York State and the rest
of the country that he, and not Mr..
Smith, is the State leader Of the party;
that the Democratic party of the State
is for him and not for Mr.. Smith for
the presidential nomination, and that
he does not regard prohibition as the
paramount issue, but is willing to rele-
gate that to a secondary place and
make his major campaign, If nominated,
on the issues of prosperity and water
power"

The lake behind the dam viii be 100

The truce assures Nationalist partici-

India, but Gandhi has said that If the
Nationalist demands for Indian auton-
ony in finances and military matters
are not granted by Britain there his
followers win begin anew their agitation

the two principal reservations made by
Great Britain in an offer Of dominion

by Prime Minister Macdonald at the
conclusion Of the recent London round

lists refused to participate.
In order to negotiate with Gandhi
and fellow Nationalist for their par

Nationalist Working Committee from

The truce concluded another chapter
of the struggle Of Indians to regain
control of a veritable subcontinent con-
tanning 800, 600. 900 people-after more
than a century of British domination
The All-India national congress,
meeting at the end Of 1928, gave Great
Britain one year in which to grant do
minion status.
The Nationalist met early in 1896
and decreed separation from Great Bril-
tain and on March IL, Gandhi and
some disciples, having completed q
march down TO the sea from Armada

ish monopoly. After several weeks he
was incarcerated, but the Nationalist
campaign kept up, bringing untold
economic grief to the country and re-
sulting in imprisonment OF more than
$4,000 persons.

The former New York Governor
made a long-distance call to New

An ardent "Smithite" nearby drew a
