Public Utilities Commission
Orders Bus Loop to Cir
Gle Area.
IS PART
OF REROUTING PLANS
Elgen Calls Move "Stop Gap" Un'
til More Permanent System
Is Set Up.

Another step in rerouting the lines
Of the Capital Transit Co. was taken
today by the Public Utilities Commis-
sion when it ordered the abandon
ment. effective January 6, Of the LIE
Droit Park street car line.
At the same time. the commission
ordered establishment of a loop bus
line to circle the comparatively small
area in the lie Droit Park community
to take the place Of the street car
service until more permanent trans
portation system is set up. Riley E.
Elgen, commission chairman, explained
that substitution Of the loop bus
service was a sort of a stop gap" un-
til general rerouting plan had been
adopted.
Abandonment of the LIE Droit street
car line met with general approval at
the recent hearings on proposed re-
routing plans. The car line now runs
from Georgia avenue and w street
south on Fourth street to New York
avenue, then down Fifth to G street,
then west to its terminus at Fifteenth
and G streets.
Bus Routing Given.
The new loop bus for LIE Droit Park
will start at Seventh and S streets, go
north on Seventh to T, then east to
Fourth, north to Bryant, east to Sec
ond, south to Rhode Island avenue
and then west to Seventh and S.
Some months ago the commission
ordered abandonment of the street car
line on Four-and-a-Half street south
west, now known as Fourth street, and
a bus line north to Pennsylvania ave-
nue. was substituted. The original sug-
geStion was that the rerouting scheme
would involve operation of bus line
from Fourth street southwest north
to the lie Droit Park area. Final de-
cision has not been reached on this
scheme.
North South Bus Asked.
Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts
today approved abandonment Of the
lie Droit Park street car line, but pro-
tested that unless a north and south
bus line was substituted many patrons
would be inconvenienced. Commits
sion officials countered with the re-
minder that street cars would continue
to operate along New Jersey avenue,
Florida avenue and on New York ave-
nue. through the same general section
Of the city.
Roberts today sent a petition to
John Hanna, president Of the transit
company, asking that the Randle
Highlands bus line, now terminating
at Eastern High School, be extended to
the street car barns at Fourteenth and
East Capitol streets SO that patients,
nurses and other persons going to and
from Gallinger Hospital would be able
to make street car transfers without
having to walk three or four blocks.
This request was made at the sugges-
ton Of DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, superin-
tendent Of Gallnger.

LONG LINE SEEKS
new AUTO PLATES
$500 Applicants Estimated
Still Without Licenses.
Half Day Remains.

A line Of applicants for 1885 auto
mobile tags today extended a city
block from the Ford Building, at
John Marshall and Pennsylvania ave-
nue., up to Sixth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
Tags were being issued by force
Of IA men at the Traffic Department
at the rate of about TOO an hour. At
this rate, out of 5000 motorists who
early today had not secured next
years tags, 1t was estimated that by
closing time, 12:45 pm. there still
would be some 5000 motorists with
out the new tags.
Half Day Remains.
About 1890 Of these could be issued
tags during the half day Monday,
Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer
said. However, provided all those
without tags apply for them, it would
be a physical impossibility, under the
hook-up, to take care of a remainder
of some 2,400 motorists before New
Year, it was pointed out.
Those in line were securing their
tags today some 40 minutes after
starting from Sixth street, reaching
the Ford Building in 80 minutes and
securing the tags in another 10 min
utes, 1t was explained.
No Extension to Be Granted.
Mr.. Van Duzer said there would
be no extension Of the use Of the
1884 tags after midnight, December
81. If no extension is granted. In
spector L. !. H. Edwards, assistant
superintendent Of police, said police
would have to enforce the law and
stop motorists driving with the old
tags. Under the law. it Is pointed
out, 1t also is a violation for machines
to park more than Is hours at the
same place on the street. Also, it
would be against the law for q mo-
torist with 1894 tags to drive his car
after the time for usage of the old
tags has expired, in order to move a
car to q new parking place.

BY GEORGE TUCKER

MT. HOLLY, N. j., Aug. %. =
Grizzled old Ellis Parker, Burling-
ton countys rural Philo Vance
is one up on those big game hunt
ers who go into the jungle with
only a camera.
He catches murderers with post
age stamps.
His amazing consistency has piled
up a record comparable to any. in
American criminal history, with
more than $50 cases successfully
solved and 12l murderers hanged
or electrocuted.
How does he do it?
To understand old Ellis you've
got to come down here and get &C
quainted. You've got to become
a part Of this tranquil community
where things are so quiet that
even the birds haven't been startled
since Washington swung through
on the trail of the British. You've
got to trudge around the country
side and visit with the neighbors.
You've got to talk crops with them
and pitch horse-shoes.
Lifted His Fiddle
Parker has been chief of Bur-
lington countys detectives Al years
but he wasn't always a detective
He used TO stroke fiddle ins a
hill-billy orchestra at country dane
eS.
Then some sneak thief stole his
fiddle-and Ellis was so enraged
he became i detective. After that
he used to chase horse thieves
through the cranberry bog, and
then eventually he began to solve
murder mysteries.
In dealing with a case the first
thing he does is learn the facts.
Then he sits down and reasons
things out. Out here he says,
indicating the countryside. we've
got room to think And if you
think hard enough you get the
right answer. The only thing 1
know is just to figger 'em-that's
all any case amounts to, isn'tkit-
just figgering it out?"
And apparently that's all old
Ellis does, is ''figger"- in
the autumn when the ducks are
flying high over Barnegat Bay.
Then he totes his old eight gauge,
double barrel down TO his shooting
box and becomes a boy again.
Parker's Office
But when criminals fly high he
doesn't use a gun. He just drags
his hand across his bald head and
starts thinking. Then he strolls
across the fields to town. After
that he moves on up the main
street until he comes to the coun-
ty court house, then goes through
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1934-08-28

a side door and climbs the stairs
to his office on the second floor.
Maybe you wouldn't call it an
office-but it is sufficient for Par
ker. It's a two-by-four enclosure
with a shaky old desk standing in
the middle.
On that desk Is the accumulated
bric-a-brac of 10 years. Three sides
are pyramided so high with old
letters and papers that it is i'm
possible to keep them from falling
on the floor. In the clearing in
the center of the desk is an ash
trap and in it are three charred,
well-gnawed pipes. One of them
has been broken and mended with
adhesive tape. Hard by rests a
big match box holding giant blue
tip matches. Involuntarily you step
back when Old Ellis lights one, half
afraid it might explode.
The Walls Won't Talk
This is Ellis Parker's workshop.
1t serves as office, den, and con-
sultation chamber combined. The
walls probably could tell some girls
ly tales if they could talk. For it
was here that Frank James and
Raymond Schuck confessed to
numbering and robbing a Camden
County bank messenger of $70,-
600. This office was his field of
operation when he rode a postage
stamp across three continents to
catch Thomas Coumas who alleg-
eddy murdered a California school
teacher.
Then sometimes he disappears
for days at a time. Once ne lived
three weeks as a tramp in the
Sums of Manhattan, and when he
vent home he took three killers
with him.

COLLINS GIVES STATEMENT ON
POLICY OF COUNTY'S SCHOOLS

stand for economy and eff
cheney in the business management
of the public schools. The people
of California have shifted much #
the burden of school support from
general county property tax to q
tax raised by the state. This wise
measure has raised a heavy burden
from the local taxpayer-the farm
er-the property owner-and has
given the schools an assured in
come from the state. 1t has great
ly reduced the local tax delinquency
and has practically put the schools
ON a cash basis. Few, if any, school
districts will find it necessary to
carry over registered school war;
rants into next year. I believe that
every effort should be made to re-
tain and to improve the plan cf
state school support.
I believe in the present law which
requires that a course in the con-
stitution of the United States be
