ROBERTS, TRANSIT
PLAN SUPPORTED
Benefits for Takoma Park Citi.
zens Win Favor in
Section.

Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts
is receiving support from various quar-
ters for his plan to install express car
servic. on upper Eleventh street and
to reroute traffic to provide citizens
of the Takoma Park sections with a
more direct route to downtown por-
tionS Of the city.
AS supplemental to his rerouting
plan, the Columbia Heights Business
Mems Association notified Roberts yes
terday that proposal would be made
at the next meeting Of the association
for a cross-town bus from Wisconsin
avenue northwest to approximately
Rhode Island avenue northeast. There
appears to be no doubt that this
project will receive the approval Of
the association, Secretary H. c. Phillips
reported.
The Citizens Forum Of Columbia
Heights strongly backed the rerouting
plan. In any such rerouting, 1t in
formed Roberts by letter, direct street
car service should be continued from
the Takoma Park section by way of
Fourteenth street to downtown Sec
tions. Additional tracks from Georgia
avenue and Fourteenth street should
be constructed, it was suggested, to
connect with Eleventh street for a
more complete service on that car line
In the meantime, the use of Eleventh
street should be increased during the
rush traffic hours, 1t was proposed.

A wave of counterfeiting sweeping
the country has led w. H. Moran,
chief of the secret service, to declare
conditions are about as bad as we
have ever known them to be-"
He told members of the House con-
sidering the Treasury appropriations
bill that the greatest rise In counter
feiting has been in the manufacture
of coins. His testimony was dis
closed in report made public yes
terday.
Recently" he said, 1--WE have been
troubled with coins made of all sill
ver-some of 1t low grade, but then,
again, a percentage Of 1t made from
silver equal to or really finer than
that manufactured by the Govern
ment."

stamped out 50-cent pieces and
quarters that virtually defied decep-
ton by shopkeepers.

AS for currency, Moran asserted:

people Of this country will take any
thing that remotely resembles piece
Of paper currency
Work on Bills Bad.
1--WE have counterfeits of SIS and
$40 notes coming into us-and have
seen advertising dodgers that displayed
better workmanship"
His statements came as the Sem
ate and House Judiciary Committees
considered four bills submitted by At
torney General Homer Cummings to
speed up criminal prosecutions.
The measures require defandants to
file notice if they intend to submit
an alibi, enable judges to comment
