SUSPECT IS FREED
IN |LSLEY MURDER
Police Decide Not to Await
Analysis of Blood on Claude
Furr's Shirt.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LEESBURG, Va, January 28.-Lou-
doun County authorities last night re-
leased Claude Furr, 53-year-old laborer,
who had been held for several days as
a suspect in connection with the killing
of Mrs. Spencer Ilsley and her maid,
Mrs Nina BGckner, at Mrs. Ilsley'S
estate at Middleburg, Va, January l3.
After questioning the man late yes
terday, it was decided not to wait for
the report of a blood analysis con-
Quoted in washington to determine
whether dried blood on Furr's shirt
was identical with samples of blood
of either of the two slain women.
Fur was arrested Monday night by
Deputy Sheriff Paul Alexander, on a
warrant charging aiding and abetting"
in the two murders. His arrest fol-
lowed a story told by a colored woman
that she laundered bloodstained shirt
of Furr's shortly after the murders.
When arrested, Furr is said to have
told authorities he had been drinking
on the night of the murders and could
not remember where he had been. Fur
ther questioning yesterday brought con-
viction of his innocence.
Yesterday the prisoners shirt and
coat were sent to Washington for
technical comparison of the blood on
them with the blood of Mrs. Ilsley and
Mrs Buckner. DR.. Oscar B. Hunter of
George washington University made
the tests.
Dr. Hunters report, made this morn
ing, showed the blood stains on Furrs
clothing were of the Socalled Type 2.
This is the same as Furr's blood, and
also is identical with that of the two
women
Fur, a resident of Mour Sville, Va.
was held at the Leesburg Jail while his
suspected connection with the murders
was investigated
D. c. Sands of Middleburg, admins
traitor of Mrs Ilsley's estate, has con-
ferred with Washington police and re-
quested them to print $4,000 circulars
calling for the arrest of George Craw-
ford, colored suspect. He asked that
these be sent to all sections of the
country.

TRACTION MERGER
PLAN UNOPPOSED
At HOUSE HEARING
Only Three Witnesses Heard
by Subcommittee and All
Favor Measure.
LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
AND OVERFLOWS ROOM
Valuation, to Fix Street Car Fare,
Expected to Be Ready by
March l.

No opposition to the bill sponsored by
the Public Utilities Commission to al
low merger of Washington's two
street car systems was expressed at a
nearing held by the utilities subcom-
mlttee of the House District Commit
tee last night.
only three witnesses were heard
They were Chairman Mason M. Patrick
OF the commission and Presidents Will
liam F. Ham of the Washington Rail-
way. & Electric Co. and John H. Hanna
OF the Capital Traction Co. All favored
the bill
Chairman Black of the subcommittee
asked to hear from any one opposed to
the bill. There was a large crowd pres
ent; SO large, in fact, the hearing was
moved from the committee room to the
caucus room when the former over
moved; NOBODY arose to oppose the bill.
Mr. Black seemed surprised and re-
peated his invitation. Still nobody rose.
SO he adjourned the meeting.
Will Wait One Week.
Later he told newspaper men he
planned to wait week and then if no
opposition develops he will report the
Dill tavorably to the House District
Committee
1Ho o4n was explained to the sub
committee by Gen. Patrick Mr.. Black
asked few questions but they had to
90 principally with technicalitieS in the
phraSing of the various sections. Gen,
Patrick explained the securities of the
merged company could not exceed, at
the start, the aggregate securities of
the merging companies. but later more
securities could be issued on approval
Of the commission
The bill excuses the new companv
from payment of the salaries of cross
ing policemen and the cost of paving in
the tracks. 1t does not guarantee any
reduced fare, although the former bill
fixed the 8-cent fare for a minimum of
two years.
Valuation Under Way
Gen. Patrick explained this conces-
sion by saying a valuation of the COM
panleS Is now under way, and the fare
eventually will be fixed on the basis Of
the valuation, which will be completed
and ready for hearings about March l.
He said the merger would not throw
anybody out of employment, but, on the
contrary, new work expected to be or
dered by the commission IN the way Of
changing tracks and the like probably
would give added employment.
Among those in the audience were
William NICK. Clayton, representing the
Federation of Citizens Associations, and
Brice Clagett, a member of the firm Of
lawyers which represents Harley P
Wilson, owner of the Washington Rapid
Transit Co. Wilson also is a director
of the North American Co., majority
owner of the stock in the Washington
Railway & Electric Co.
Several members of the staffs of the
local operating companies and OF the
federation also attended the meeting.
