MOVE WOULD PUT
SUBURBAN BUSES
into TERMINALS S
Utilities Commission Serves
Notice of investigation
of Complaints.
INTERSTATE CLASS
DEALT WITH IN 1891
Hearing in Next Three Months
to Consider Street Conditions
and Public Convenience.

A move which is expected eyentu-
ally to force busses operating between
the District and suburban points into
terminals off the public streets, SIM
liar to those now used by interstate
busses, was launched by the Public
Utilities Commission yesterday. The
commission issued an order serving
notice Of its intention to investigate
the matter and to call q public hear
ing within the next three months.
Three years ago there was q sim
liar move made against the class A
buses Cbusses operating to distant
interstate points,, which resulted IN
an order compelling all such busses
which wished to use the congested
zone TO 90 to terminals OF the street
on private property.
b and C Class Buses.
The commission has now turned It's
attention to class B and class G
buses. Glass b busses are those
which operate to points beyond the
District line, but within the metro
politan area, such as Alexandria.
Clarendon, Hyattsville, Silver Spring,
and others. Class C buSses are those
which do q strictly intra- District busi-
ness.
Existing conditions in the routing
and terminals Of these two classes
Of busseS, the commission said, are
unsatisfactory to the general public,
the bus industry itself, and the reg
ulatory authorities" It pointed out
that the use of curb terminals by
class B and class G buses in the
congested rome has created such q
condition that it has become neces-
sary to take steps looking to the
elimination Of such terminals In the
future.
It cited the following evils caused
by the present system:
l. General interference with We
hicular traffic and disruption Of COM
mon carrier schedules.
2. Confusion incident to the loca-
ton of bus terminals in front Of busi-
ness places.
8. Complaints Of improper use of
public space for private gain.
4. Excessive use of public space to
the extent that the courts of the
Jurisdiction have taken judicial no
tice thereof.
S. Inadequate service to the public
by reason Of inadaptability of public
space for terminals.
6. General lack Of proper terminal
facilities for the protection Of bus
passengers against weather.
Action 8 Years Ago.
The conditions cited are reminiscent
Of those which led the commission to
put the class A buses of the street
three years ago, and the class B buses
may be expected to follow suit
Whether the same rule will be applied
to the class c buses is not so Ger
tain, however.
The subject Of terminals for class
B and @ buses came up for study be-
fore the Districts Trafic Co
ordinating Committee, and the pres
ent step Of the commission is q re-
suit of q recommendation of this
committee. Members of the Co.
ordinating Committee are Traffic
Director w. A Van Duzer, Highway
Director H. C. Whitehurst, Inspector
B. A. Lamb of the Traffic Bureau,
Capt. p. ]. Carroll Of the park police,
Edward H. Thomas, assistant corpora
ton counsel, and James L. Martin,
secretary of the Public Utilities Com
mission.

FREIGHT ROBBERS
SOUGHT IN WOODS
County and State Police
Comb Lanham Woods
for Fugitives.
BY a stan Correspondent Of The star.


LANHAM, Nd, August 4.-State
and county police tonight still combed
the wooded areas in this vicinity for
members Of the gang which early
yesterday broke into sealed box car
on fast Pennsylvania express.
The men, the number of whom has
not been definitely determined by po-
lice, were surprised as they tossed
cases Of cigarettes from the swiftly
moving train and leaped from 1t,
running to two machines parked near
the crossing south Of here and speed
ing away without their intended loot.
Three shots were fired after them by
q railroad detective.
Truck Found Abandoned.
Some hours after the robbery, which
occurred about am, one Of the ma
chimes used by the men-a light
truck-waS found abandoned only a
few miles from the scene near Ard
wick, 1t was said. State police took
1t to a Lanham garage. but refused to
divulge any information as to where
1t was found.
The finding of the truck precipi-
tated the search through the woods,
participated In by State police from
the Laurel substation. members of
the Prince Georges County force and
others. 1t was identified as one of
those used In the attempted robbery
by the license tag. which the railroad
detective noted as it and the other
machine sped away.
Police reconstructed the baked rob-
berry plans as they sought the fugi-
tives. They believe the men parked
the two automobiles near the crossing
south of here, then went to Benning
yards, in Washington, to board the
freight. Riding out Of sight until they
left the yards, the men then let them
selves down by using rope ladder,
broke the seal and went to work toss
ing the cases Of cigarettes from the
train. More than l6 cases had been
thrown overheard before they were
surprised by the detective. The train
was en- route from Washington to
Baltimore.
Men Are Pursued.
The detective jumped from the train
in pursuit of the men, but they es-
capped in the cars. He then tagged
another freight and rode to Lanham,
where he instructed Mrs. Hilda Wiser.
crossing watchman. to notify police.
Pennsylvania officials denied the at
tempted robbery had occurred, but
police were able to learn enough from
residents of the section to piece to-
gether their story of the affair. The
name of the railroad detective was
| withheld.
The notorious "Tri-State" gang
which has recently been cleaned ur
by police, made a speciality of cigarette
robberieS similar to the one attempted
today. They made haul near Peters
burg, Va, and another in North
| Carolina.

proved will not be fulfilled, the Reichs-
