TR0LLEYS CHANGE
ALTA VISTA ROUTE
Passengers Will Transfer
for Points in Downtown
Capital.
By a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

BY stan Correspondent OF Inc star.
ALTA VISTA. Md. December g.
A new system under which street cars
travelling between Alta Vista and
Washington will be routed to Wiscon-
sin avenue and M street instead of
into the Capitals downtown section
was announced today by officials Of
the Capital Transit Co.. to become
effective tomorrow.
Under the new schedule. 1t will be
necessary for passengers to transfer
at the District line, at P street. or at
Wisconsin avenue and M street, de-
pending upon the downtown points
they desire to reach.
They pointed out that transferring
at Wisconsin and M street will afford
patrons quicker transportation down.
town than by travelling via P street
and Dupont Circle, for service be-
tween Rosslyn. Georgetown and the
downtown section operates more fire.
quently than from other points avail
able to Alta Vista patrons.
Delays Cause Change.
Transit officials said the change In
the local routing was decided upon
after long consideration, and was
made necessary because of the fire.
quent and serious delays to cars Of
this line in the downtown section, due
principally to congested traff1c condi-
tionS.
Service on the Alta Vista line in
recent months. they said, has been
extremely irregular and unsatisfactory
because of these delays. They fur
ther declared that outbound cars
reaching the District line few min
utes late upset the operation of all
cars on the single track part of the
line where crossover and signal lights
are IN use.
Operation has been satisfactory in
so far as the Rockville Georgetown
cars are concerned, as they are not
subjected to the same traffic condi-
tions as cars which go downtown
over the route which has been en-
ployed by the Alta Vista cars.
1t was said that while the change
will require transferring of Alta Vista
patrons, traction officials are conf
dent that a more regular spacing and
consequently faster operation will
greatly improve the service to the
patrons.
Slight Schedule Changes.
Service to and from Alta Vista
during the rush periods, morning and
afternoon, will be practically the
same as at present, with slight
changes in the leaving time from
Rockville and Alta Vista. In the nom
rush periods cars will leave Rockville
at 80 minutes after the hour and will
leave or pass Alta Vista inbound at
26 minutes after and minutes be-
fore each hour.
From Wisconsin avenue and M
street the cars will leave at minutes
after the hour for Rockville and
Alta Vista and at IS minutes after
the hour for Alta Vista only during
the non-rush hours.

PAROLE REFORM
PARLEY SCHEDULED
Prettyman to Present Pro-
posed Changes at Ses-
sion Next Week.

A preliminary report from Corpora
ton Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman on
proposed changes in the parole Sys-
tenn will be considered next week by
the District officials, who. with Pretty
man, are going over the system with a
view to legislative reform.
Meanwhile, recently paroled pris-
oner from Lorton Reformatory. Kelly
w. Holmes, 33, of the 1900 block OF
Randolph street, was convicted in
Police Court yesterday on charges of
threats against Mrs. Nellie Rohmer,
1886 Eleventh street Judge Ralph
Given placed Holmes under $500 bond
and turned him over to the District
Jail to await action OF the Parole
Board.
Third to Be Seized.
Holmes was released from the re-
formatory August after serving 20
months on a one-to-two-year term
for robbery.
He was the third paroled prisoner
arrested in recent weeks.
Recommendation of the District
committee investigating the parole
system will be placed before the Dis
trict Commissioners for action.
Members of the investigating group
are Commissioner George E. Allen,
Mai. Ernest W. Brown. superintendent
of police; Prettyman and represent
atiVe of the District Parole Board.
At the public hearing on the matter
the Parole Board was represented by
DR.. Emmett J. Scott Of Howard Uni
versity.
Consider Emergency Power.
One important point to be con-
sidered by the committee, it was said
today. is whether the Commissioners
should be given reserve emergency
power" in parole matters, or to act
in the nature of review board in
special cases.
One member Of the investigating
group already has indicated he be-
lieves more publicity should be given
to parole case records and that the
time requirement making a prisoner
eligible for parole should be raised
from one-fifth to one-third OF the
term of a prisoner.
In addition to these points. the
committee will consider whether the
Parole Board as an Independent body
can operate successfully with its
present staff of but one field Of1lcer
and whether the bad criminal record
of prisoner or his individual "capac-
ity for rehabilitation" should be the
major guide in deciding on parole.
