CONDUIT LINES
GUT SOUGHT

A plan to lessen the burden
on home owners who have to
have electric lines extended to
their residences was drafted to-
day by the Public Utilities Com
mission and forwarded to the
Potomac Electric Power Co. for
comment.
At present, persons whose
homes are not on a regular con-
duit are charged 1925 per foot
for extension Of underground
conduit over IS feet, and 40 cents
per foot for overhead wires of
more than $50 feet. If new Gus
toners later attach to the ex-
tension, the original customer re-
ceiveS a partial refund.
Under the new plan the orig
inal deposit would be based on
the estimated monthly bills of
the consumer and the refund
plan would be broadened so as
to include persons who do not
now receive refunds.

Leading Lives
Of Crime

Boys of 10 are the chief
criminal offenders today, accord
ing to statistics compiled from
fingerprint records at the Depart
ment of Justice for the first three
months of the year.
Youthful criminals go in for
automobile thefts primarily, for
45.8 per cent of automobiles stolen
were taken by persons under 81
years of age. Burglars were also
youthful, 1873 per cent not having
attained their majority, and with
robbers the percentage was 27.9.
The number of reports used in
the compilation was 8O,785, only
5,221 of whom were women or
girls. The largest group Of ar
rests was made for disorderly con-
duct, vagrancy and suspicion, a.
842. There were 1882 larceny
cases, 1896 burglaries, 5,241 rob
berries, and 5000 assaults. More
than one-third of those arrested
had previous records, and SIS per
cent of those arrested in narcotics
cases were repeaters.

Hearings Near End
Commissioners today

The Commissioners today
recommended to the District
subcommittee of the Senate Ap-
propriationss Committee that
they be given authorization to
transfer, without limit, within
departments of the municipal
government, money appropriated
in the pending 1884 appropr1a-
ton bill.
Senator Elmer Thomas Cd OF
Oklahoma, subcommittee chair
man, said he believed the COM
mittee would accept the Comm1s-
sioners' recommendation.
An example of the Commls-
sioners' authority under this
plan was cited regarding appro--
priations for schools. In the event
that money for personnel was
needed the Commissioners could
deduct funds from other items
to make up the necessary total.
On Floor Monday
Public hearings on the bill will
probably be concluded tomorrow
and the measure redrafted for
submission to the Senate not
later than next Monday.
Mrs. Margaret P. McKelway, OF
the District Of Columbia League
of Women Voters, today appealed
to the subcommittee 'to maintain
the standards of public education
and child welfare built up
through years of public-spirited
work."
Speaking for the league, Mrs.
McKelway also protested against
reductions approved by the House,
that would impair the efficiency
of the Public Library system or
the Health Department.
DR.. A.. Barklie Coulter, chair
man of the tuberculosis commltCee
of the District Medical Society,"
and Mrs. Ernest r. Grant, execu-
tive secretary of the tuberculosis
Association, appealed for ade"
quate funds for the proper treat-
ment of sufferers.
DR.. Coulter said:
"I come to state the case OF
six hundred persons who Will
die of tuberculosis in the Dis
trict of Columbia during 1883.
Most of these persons will die
from neglect, though the death
notices will state that the
cause was tuberculosis.
