The thrill of a lifetime came to g.

he issued an extra" in an effort, as
newspaper man would describe it, Ito

Iarry's big chance came when a

around the corner from Larry's home
and Office, 1913 East Thornapple street,
Chevy Chase, Md, and got away with
S.. Larry got the story and his extra
was ready and in the hands of his sub

BASEMENT
PROTESTS FUTILE.
Proposal for Other Quarters
in Commerce Building Re-
fused by Robinson.

Plans for moving 40 clerks, many OF
whom are elderly women, into the base
ment of the Commerce Departments
new building will not be changed ''in
the slightest degree" Patent Commits
sioner Thomas E. Robinson said today.
These clerks have filed protests with
the Senate and House Committees on
patents, declaring that by placing them
in this section of the $17,500 900 build
ing their health will be impaired.
Chairman Hebert of the Senate Com
mittee on patents last week requested
Commissioner Robinson to file report
on these conditions. Meantime, Senators
Tydings of Maryland, Glass Of Virginia
and Walsh of Massachusetts, filed pro-
tests with Secretary Of Commerce
Lamont
The clerks are all attached to the
publications division Of the Patent Oh
flee, and in designing the building,
Commissioner Robinson explained to-
day, their quarters were SO arranged as
to increase the efficiency Of this branch
Of the Office.
At the same time, he asserted, the
room has more ventilation than many
of the rooms on the first floor of the
structure, and more than ample pre-
caution was taken in constructing the
building to keep out dampness.
On tour of the Patent ONCE sec
ton of the massive bronze-gated
temple of fact finding today Com
missioner Robinson showed newspaper
men the basement office assigned to
these clerks, and at the same time
compared it with the offices on the
first floor.

TRACKS TORN Up
IN TRIANGLE AREA
Interrupted Work on Sewer
Near Old Terminal First
to Get Under Way.

With abandonment of the trolley
line from Arlington Junction, Va, into
the old terminal at Twelfth street and
Pennsylvania avenue last night, power
shovels early today started tearing into
two portions of the old trackage in the
Federal triangle where the Federal
building program had been delayed by
presence of the tracks.
The first piece of track to be taken
out was near the old terminal, at
Twelfth and D streets, where a steam
shovel cutting a new diversion sewer
carried forward an interrupted sewer
project.
Excavation Completed.
Another shovel began undermining
the tracks on Thirteen-and-a-ha
street near Constitution avenue, where
the trolley line cut through the middle
of the Department of Labor site. The
excavation has been completed on both
sides of this track, leaving the rails
on high elevation running through
the building site.
This "isthmus' will be cut out as
quickly DIS pOSSlDlG So t1ldL pie III lV11IS
and foundation construction may pro-
coed.
Later on the entire block of trackage
on D street between Twelfth and Thir-
tenth streets and part of the track
on G street between Twelfth and Thir-
tenth streets will be eXcavated for the
new Post Office Department Building,
which is we'll under way. The old
terminal will be torn down soon.
The last street car left the old ter
minal at 1910 last night for Alexan-
dria in charge of Frank A. Beach of
Rosemont, who has been a motorman
on the line for several years. He oper-
ated the car in place of two oldtimerS
who had been designated Saturday.
Buses Use New Terminal.
The regular Alexandria buses and
number of other bus lines are stopping
at the new terminal 1913 D street, but
the shuttle buses, which pick up pas
sengerS of the two trolley lines at Ar
lington Junction, run over a route TAX
ing them along the south side of Penn
sylvania avenue from Fourteenth to
Tenth street and then to Constitution
avenue and return.
Operation of the transfer point at
Arlington Junction was said by officials
to have been as successful as could be
expected for the first day of operation.
There was some delay occaSioned for
passengers of the Arlington & Fairfax
line early this morning, during the rush
hours, it was said but this Is expected
to be obviated in the future.

TAXI OWNERSHIP
PROBE ORDERED;

Reports That Chicago Firm
Has Bought Local Fleets
Brings Utilities Inquiry.
BLACK AND WHITE ASKS
RIGHT TO CUT FARES
Commission May Refuse Request
Under Previous Demand That
All Use Meter System.

An investigation to determine whether
control Of any local taxicab corporation
has passed to foreign holding companies
IN violation of the La Toilette anti
merger act was ordered today by the
Public Utilities Commission.
The inquiry is said to have resulted
from reports that a transportation COM
pany of Chicago had purchased major
interest in the Yellow and Black and
White TaXicab Cos. and would place a
large number of new cabs on Washing
ton streets.
Wants to Cut Rates.
Meanwhile, William j. Brown, presi-
dent of the Yellow and Black & White
companies, appeared before the Utilities
Commission and requested permission
to begin operating a portion of his cabs
on the 0-40-60-cent zone rate basis.
The commission withheld its approval
for the time being at least. Observers
said there is possibility the commits
sion would refuse to approve the new
rates under previous order which pro-
vided scales Of fare then in effect should
not be changed until all taxicabS in the
city should be equipped with meters.
An order of the commission requiring
the use Of meters after January 10 has
not been enforced due to the action of
Justice Jesse C. Adkins of the District
Supreme Court in remanding the meter
case to the Utilities Commission. His
ruling was made in suit by independ-
ent operators to restrain the Utilities
Commission from enforcing the meter
order without further public hearings.
Silent nm Chica on ANGLE
Mr.. Brown today declined to confirm
or deny reported entry of the Chicago
concern into the local field. He init
mated, however, that such negotiations
were under way He said any change
in ownership would be reported to the
Utilities Commission.
Mr.. Brown discredited rumors that
his company would import 1000 addi-
tional cabs from Philadelphia for use
in a rate war with independent opera
tors. He said his companies always
had operated on a high plane and
would continue to do so.
Many of the rumors now in circula-
ton, Mr.. Brown said, were without the
slightest foundation in fact. He de-
clined to say whether his companies
would comply with demands Of William
A. Van Duzers trafAc director, that all
cab operators purchase H" tags for
their machines instead of the cheaper
Il" tags, unless the cabs were to be
used strictly in answering telephone
calls for service.

81 AN INCH FOR NEW HIGHWAY
ATTACKED AT HEARING ON BILL
Simmons Says Cost of Mount Vernon Road Would Make
Washington Turn in Grave.

When the 15-mile Memorial Boule-
ward from the new Arlington Bridge
to Mount Vernon was being discussed
in connection with the agricultural
appropriation bill reported to the House
TODAY. Representative Simmons of Ne
braska again emphasized his estimate
that 81 an inch is a preposterouS price
to pay for construction of that boule-
ward.
IF George Washington could turn
over in his grave, l will bet that marble
casket over in Mount Vernon would
crack" said Simmons, who declared
If there is any place the Government
has thrown money out in unlimited
waste, it is on that highway"
Thomas H Macdonald, chief Of the
Bureau of Roads, who had testified the
boulevard is practically completed, and
that something within $7,200,000
would be spent on the roadway, pro-
tested this has not been IAN extrava-
gance in the sense Of the Nation doing
something adequate"
II believe" he said, that we will
have a parkway that will be as endur-
ing or more enduring than this build
ing, and Congress has seen fit to use
the best grade of stone and adequate
construction in this building"
Mr.. Macdonald continued that, while
criticism may be expected for the next
