BLUECOAT ASKS
JOBRETURNED

A bill providing for reinstate-
ment of former Policeman George
N. Nicholson, 20, dismissed from
the police force two years ago on
charges by 16-year-old girl, was
introduced in the House today
by Representative Mary Norton,
chairman of the House District
Committee.
The bill was drawn at the re
quest of the District Commission
ers who have learned that evil
dence against Nicholson, which re-
suited in the dismissal, was per.
jured.
After the commissioners had
approved the recommendation of
the trial board that Nicholson be
dismissed, the girl, who claimed
the policeman was the father of
her child, admitted she had told
a falsehood, it is said, and named
another man to whom she was
subsequently married.
Nicholson first came to public
attention in May, 1928, when he
was a rookie" He was at that
time given a trial board hearing
as the result of his shooting a 49,
year-old boy burglar during a
chase and was exonerated.

SENATE DELAYS
RAIL MERGER
DEBATE
Both Sides to Confer Seeking
Agreement; Passage
Of Bill Forecast

The Senate temporarily post
poned the street railway merger
bill debate today until tomorrow
in the hope that a compromise
would be reached by opponents
and proponents.
Traction officials and the citi
zens' joint transportation COM
mittee are expected to confer with
Senator John j. Blaine (R0 of
Wisconsin; Senator Arthur Cap
per (R0, of Kansas, chairman of
the Senate District Committee;
Senator Warren r. Austin CRO &,
of Vermont; Peoples Counsel
Richmond B. Keech and Assist
ant Corporation Counsel William
A. Roberts in the hope of effect
ing an agreement.
Asks POStpOnement
Senator Austin moved to lay
aside his resolution calling for
consideration of the merger bill
when advised that the transpor-
tation committee would submit a
proposal for compromise on all
controverted sections of the bill,
with the exception of the provi-
sion pertaining to the indeter.
inmate franchise. Roberts was
to submit a revised provision on
this point.
Senator Blaine, who has been
filibustering for two days to pre-
vent action on the Austin reSolu-
tion, agreed to have it temper
arily laid aside.
Senator Austin and Senator
Blaine both said they hoped an
agreement could be reached and
that no advantage could be
gained by continuing discussion
today on this subject, which
might be altered tomorrow.
No Agreement Reached
1t is reported that no definite
agreement has been reached on
the compromise, but there is a
general expression of hope that
some understanding could be Sc
cured later today.
With officials of the local street
railway systems agreeing lin
principle" with Senators John j.
Blaine (RD, Wisconsin, and
Arthur Capper RD, Kansas, on
proposed amendments to the
merger bill, the prospects for
consideration and passage of the
measure by the Senate this week
are brighter than at any time.
This optimistic forecast was
made today by members of the
citizens joint transportation COM
mittee following extended confer
ences with the objecting Senators
and company officials yesterday
and last night.
Filibuster Threatened
Senators Capper and Blaine
have insisted that measures safe
guarding the interests of the pub
lie be included in the measure
and that unless the traction Off
cials accepted these by noon to-
day Blaine's threatened filibuster
to keep the bill from being
brought to a vote would be car
ried out.
Blaine at yesterdays conference
injected a new condition when
he proposed that an "indeter-
inmate franchise" clause be in
cluded in the bill.
If the advocates and opponents
of the measure re able to agree
on these safeguarding amend
ments" to the present BILL mem
bers of the citizens joint commit
tee are confident that the fight
on the floor of the Senate will
be postponed until tomorrow or
Friday and the bills chances for
passage under those conditions, it
is believed, are brighter than
they have been in several years.
