LIMIT ON VALUATION
OF UTILITIES URGED
Washington State Public Works
Chief Suggests Constitutional
Curb at Convention.

An amendment to the Constitution
of the United States limiting valua-
ton of public utility properties to the
amount of money prudently invested
in them and outlawing reproduction
costs was suggested today by E. K.
Murray, director of the Public Works
Department of Washington State,
speaking at the convention of the
National Association of Railroad and
Utilities Commissioners at the Will
lard Hotel.
Many of the State utility commits
sioners seemed opposed to the repro
duction cost theory as extensive and
unreliable, and the Supreme Court of
the United States in recent cases
seems to have been following this
trend, 1t was pointed out.
Alvin G. Refs, counsel for the Wis
consin Public Service Commission,
after analyzing theories put forward
by utility corporations, declared In
speech there is no such thing as
going value"
Going value" he said, sis not going,
1t Is gone"

Police Ignorance
Of Chinese Games
Frees Six accused
Raiders Unable to E1.
plain Play to Grand
Jury.

Secoy-secoy and mahjong may be
the Oriental equivalent Of pinochle
and poker, but they are lot of
hokus-pokus to Washington's police
men.
And because members of the vice
squad who raided q supposed gam
bling establishment at sos H street
recently couldn't be very explicit
as to just what was going on when
they crashed through the door, the
grand jury refused to indict six
Chinese arrested in the place.
1t was reported the testimony be-
fore the grand jury was to the effect
that the Chinese and some IS other
patrons were engaged In playing
secoy-secoy and mahjong when police
arrived. The police knew they were
playing with something that looked
like cards and dominoes, but couldn't
be sure whether they were gambling.
Taking charitable view of the
matter, the jurors exonerated Charles
500, Moy Kim, Lee Sing, HON Sing,
Chin Tong and Lee Wing.

TWO MEN SEIZED
|NGAMbL|NGRA|D
Vice Squad Swoops Down
on Place in $500 Block
of L Street.

While most of Washingtons known
gaming resorts remained closed and
bookies did meager "curbstone"
business on windy street corners, the
vice squad late yesterday raided a
place in the $500 block of L street
and charged two men with setting UP
a gaming table.
The men gave their names as John
Marcos and Peter Stegos, both of
the $500 block of Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. Sergt. G.. c. Deyoe led the
raiders, who said they seized marked
bills, 100 racing slips and several
books of numbers" slips. About 10
patrons were in the place at the time,
police reported.
Lieut.. George M. Little, chief of
the vice squad, said all the big gam
bling places are closed. Many bets
now being places on the horses are
taken by bookmakers and their
agents on street corners, Lieut.. Little
said.
Follce DelleVe the amount OF play on
the horses in Washington has fallen
of sharply, due in part to the fact
that bettors cannot sit in easy chairs,
surrounded by "an Of the comforts of
home" while they watch racing re-
suits being posted on blackboards.
Steps toward the framing of a COM
prehensive law enforcement program
for the District will be taken late to-
day by the Citizens Committee on
Crime, which meets at headquarters of
the District Bar Association. Reports
will be heard from SUBJ committees ap-
pointed to study legislative reform
measures.

tee ON Crime have been passed by the

and the Georgetown Progressive Bust
ness Mems Association, according to

Washin gton Woman Will Help
To Run Montgomery County
Miss ViUian Simpson,
Who LiUes in ID. c.,
aids FuSiOnists.
Helped Wrest Control
From, Regular Demo-
cratic Organization.

BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, November IA
With the election over and the Fusion
party having gained a toehold in
Montgomery County, leaders in the
movement are inclined to lay credit
for much of its success to Miss Vivian
Simpson, who, although a resident Of
Washington, has taken an active part
in the new political movement.
Miss Simpson, who lives at 327 Car
roll avenue, Takoma, D. c., has a law
Office here and had been prominently
identified with the Fusion party since
its formation by the Progressive DEM
ocratic faction and Republicans six
months ago.
During the interval between organi-
cation of the new group and the cleo
ton, the District woman has been one
of the real leaders of the Fusionists
and one of their most tireless workers
in the successful campaign to wrest
administrative control of the county's
affairs from the Democratic organi-
cation.
Assisted in Petition.
One of the first requirements made
by Maryland election laws before the
Fusion party could place its ticket in
the field for the general election was
the presentation to election officials
of a petition signed by at least 500
qualified voters indorsing the nomi-
nees.
Miss Simpson assisted in the prep
aration of the petition, was chiefly
instrumental in the circulation of the
petition throughout the county, aided
in comparing the signatures of the
signers with registration records to
safeguard against inaccuracies, and
was a member of the party that called
at the Board of Election Supervisors
Office and filed the petition with that
body.
Dug Up Speech Facts.
During the campaign, which will go
down as one of the most bitter fights
in the county's political annals, Miss
Simpson played an important role in
the research done to obtain informa-
ton for the speeches delivered
throughout the county by Fusion
spokesman.
Miss Simpson ssfVec 81 osss q the
directors at the party's campaign
headquarters and assisted in the man
agement of the workers employed
there to prepare campaign literature,
press releases and other matter.

Friday night b. th-c-g &C F-s.on
