RAILS MERGER
DELAYED BY
BUSF|GHT
Private Companies Opposing
Any More Competition
Under New Law

A dispute over the privileges
of traction and bus companies
to operate sightseeing and
charter busses today further
delayed action on the proposed
District street railway merger.
At a hearing of the Public Utill-
ties subcommittee of the House
District Committee, representa-
tives of private sightseeing bus
companies protested that under
the present merger bill the new
merged company would be given
authority to compete with them
on a larger scale than at present,
and would eventually force them
out of business.
Charter Service Pays
John H. Hanna, president of
the Capital Traction Company,
advised the subcommittee that
since 1925 his company's revenues
for charter bus service had in
creased from $95 annually to more
than $105000, and that this bust
ness is one of the rimost profit
able operations. Profits from
the charter service practically
overcome all losses from their
regular bus service, Hanna said.
Representatives of the seven
private sightseeing bus companies
declared they had sustained
losses since the entrance of the
traction companies into the char
ter and sightseeing business.
Thomas w. Littlepage, counsel
for the Washington, Baltimore and
Annapolis railway, asked that the
subcommittee give the Public Utili-
ties Commission power to review
an old contract which forces his
company to pay 10 cents per
passenger to the Washington
Railway & Electrict Co. for the
privilege of using the latter or
ganization's tracks in the District.
Economies brought about by the
proposed merger would reduce the
new company'S expenditures so
that the old contract would work
a hardship on the Annapolis rail-
way, Littlepage said.

DR.. Smiths statement, which he said
was issued to advise Col Robins friends
of his condition and Ito remove abso-
lutely any uncertainty as to the actual
incidents of Mr. Robins Illness was, in
part, as follows:
In the day I spent with him it be-
comes very apparent that he has passed
through that which he calls terrible
experience 1t was also apparent with
out doubt that it will be some time
before he can resume his normal public
work throughout the country. 1t is a
clear. unmistakable case Of overwork
causing physical and intellectual IA
tigue.
ut was also apparent to me that
after proper rest he will resume his
work, for in the hours in which con-
versed with him, I found his mind
working with clearness and precision
and dfscerned in him the same vital
courage for the lofty humanitarian
ideaiisns which have characterized his
