CAR PLOW PIT
ORDEREDOUT

Open pillow pits-those holes in
the car tracks into which work
men descend and change the
street cars motivating power from
underground to trolley-are en-
tirely unpopular with Engineer
Commissioner GotwalS.
He thinks they are a menace
to life, limb, and traffic.
Therefore he has prevailed upon
the Public Utilities Commission to
order the Capital Transit Com
pany to do away with the open
plow pit on Wisconsin Avenue
near P Street Northwest, by No
vember 30, 1885.
In making this order the Public
Utilities Commission declares the
principle that there shall be no
more open plow pits on important
arterial highways.

PROBERS HEAR
MAYFLOWER
PROSPECTS

That he does not believe the
Mayflower Company bonds would
sell for anything like par" under
the proposed reorganization plan
was admitted today by j. c. Fol
ger, chairman Of the local bond
holders committee.
Mr.. Folger testified before the
Senate District subcommittee in
veStigating the financing of the
proposed reorganization plan Of
the Mayflower Hotel.
He contended, however, that the
plan, which Is sponsored by his
bondholders' committee together
with two other bondholders COM
mitteeS, would be in the best
interests of the first trust bond
holders.
Robert Mcneil, an attorney
assisting the subcommittee, asked:
"DO you think they would
bring as much as so cents on
the dOllar?"
Mr.. Folger replied:
81 wouldn't like to say"
In answer to questions by Sen
ator Hamilton F. Kean (R.) of
New Jersey. Mr.. Folger said he
believed that by placing the
American Security and Trust
Company in charge of handling
the funds for the hotel "the bond
holdings would be covered by the
earnings, Of the hotel"
Paul E. Lesh, attorney for the
bondholderS committees, asked
that the subcommittee make no
adverse comment to the public on
the proposed reorganization plan
unless the subcommittee truly be-
lieVed it a bad one. He said:
81 don't want the subcOmmit-
tee to underestimate what ef-
feet q report from this commit
! tee may have. I ask that the
committee not comment on our
plan unless you truly think it a
bad one and unless we be given
opportunity to answer. Many
would be delighted to use prOpa-
! ganda against us"

Agreements on Stable Unit to
: Be Sought Abroad in Line
se~y With Silver Move
By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH
International News Service

President Roosevelt cast his
eyes abroad today in contempla-
ton of agreements with foreign
powers which would set up a
monetary unit more equitable
and stable in its purchasing and
debtpaying power.
Marking another epoch making
event in the revolution of the
sAmerican monetary system, the
Government was starting to carry
out the edict which will seize all
silver bullion in the United States
in order to build up the 81 gold
silver basis for paper currency.
Need 1,18O Millions More
Within 80 days all accumulated
stocks of silver bullion must be
turned in to the Treasury under
the order providing for nationali-
zation at 50.01 cents an ounce.
This is a program which even
tually will build the Govern
ment's silver stocks to more than
1000 million dollars, as compared
with about 5000 million dollars
in gold.
On the basis of testimony be-
fore a congressional committee
that there is upwards of $50 mil
lion ounces of accumulated silver
in the country, and considering
the silver money outstanding,
about 1,180 millions more in sill
yer must be acquired in the pro-
gram of building up a silver re-
serve equal to one-quarter Of the
gold.
Big Treasury Profit
The accumulated stocks Of sill
yer will be the basis for the issu-
ance of around 1875 millions in
certificates under the monetary
rate of 129 an ounce. Nearly 500
millions in silver certificates are
now in circulation.

Mother, Child Meet
After 24-Year Span

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 10
G.N.SO.-A mother will see her
daughter for the first tome in
"a years here today.
The daughter is Mrs. Melvin
Bailey, who has been living with
her grandmother, Mrs. Alma Rip
ley, here, and the mother, Mrs.
Lydia Waldeck, of Lebanon, Pa.
When Mrs. Waldeck, the moth
er, gave birth to her second
child "a years ago at Lebanon,
Pa, she became too i'll to care
for the baby. Mrs. Ripley cared
for the baby. The child, in the
next "a years, married, became
a mother, and now has two
children.
Driving to Syracuse with Mrs.
Waldeck will be the son, Edward,
two years older than Mrs. Bailey,
so it will be a reunion of sister

By FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL
President Roosevelt returns to
the Capital today to find his Ad'
ministration almost as upset as
the White House which receives
him.
While the President encounters
carpenters, painters and other
artisans renovating the office
wing of the Executive Mansion,
he must prepare to don his own
overalls and consider the altera-
tionS and changes which must be
made in his complicated New Deal
structure.
Perhaps, to adopt the Presi-
dents own metaphor. it would be
better to say that he will have to
don his helmet as quarterback
and call a few new plays in the ma
tional football game.
Conditions Shifting Rapidly
Since President Roosevelt left
Washington a few weeks ago for
his vacation trip, conditions con-
fronting his Administration have
altered considerably.
New problems have been pre-.
sented. They demand attention.
Problems which were gigantic
when he left the city have
Shrunk and in his absence re.
ceived undue consideration.

Outright Purchase Of All Assets
or Loan Available to
Aid DepoSitors
BY EUGENE A. KELLY

The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation stands ready to pur-
chase outright and Immediately
the assets of all closed banks in
Washington.
This statement, which is in di-
rect contradiction to those made
by the receivers of the closed
banks here, was made today by
Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the
RFC, in an interview with this
newspaper.
Receivers here have stated re-
peatedly that the RFC is not SYM
pathetic to the idea of purchasing
the assets of closed banks.
Would End ReceivershipS
Mr.. Jones' tacit invitation to
the receivers to apply for long
sought bank relief here would, if
followed through, mean the end Of
bank receiverships in Washington.
It was further disclosed today
that the RFC, acting on the power
granted it by the passage of the
Mcleod bank relief bill, which
was supported by The Washington
Times, is making reappraisals of
assets of closed banks through
out the country with view to
making new loans.
Willing to Buy
Although he did not intend to
criticize them, Mr.. Jones, in his
statement, spiked rumors which
have been put out by the receivers
here to the effect that "the RFC
is not willing to purchase or lend
on real estate" In answer to
this, the RFC chairman said:
'ThiS corporation will lend
on real estate held by closed
banks. Furthermore, we will
lend on any sound collateral
put up by a qualified Organiza-
tiOn.
