with murder in the strange death Of
Isabel Mahar, IA, of Fort Smith on a
Fourth of July swimming party.
Chief Of Detectives j. A. Pitcock di-
rected further inquiry after Clyde
Trammell, %, and Miss Dorothy
Karps, 16, were brought here from
Fort Smith and placed in separate
jails.
Formal murder charges were filed
against them at Fort Smith by Prose-
cutting Attorney Finish Bachelor.
Trammell, denying all knowledge of
the death of Miss Mahar, has been in
custody since her body was found July
z in Clear Creek, north OF Fort Smith,

The Karps girl. member of the
holiday party, linked Trammell with

pay cuts Of 900 employees of the Dis.
trict Water Department. Auditor
Daniel ]. Donovan estimated roughly
yesterday some $150,000 is involved.
The Commissioners have not com.
mitted themselves on the matter, but
agreed to forward to McCarl a petit
ton by Charles l. Stengle, represent.
ing the American Federation of Fed
eral Employees. The matter was laid
before District officials yesterday and
Stengle will present his written peti.
ton early next week.
Stengle's argument is that the econ
omy act provisions which impose pay
cuts beginning July /, 1882, should
not have been applied to employees OF
the Water Department since their
pay does not come out of general
District revenues. but out of water
revenues. which cannot be spent for
other purposes than those Of the
Water Department.
There is surplus this year and
there will be another next year under
the Water Department budget, and
this money is left unspent unless ap-
propriated
Some District officials are doubtful
of the soundness of khe argument
that the pay cuts should not have
been applied to Water Department
workers, but the Commissioners
agreed to put the question up to
McCarl.

The Capital Transit Co., in a motion
filed yesterday in District Supreme
Court, upheld its proposal to pay ss43,- =
600 for the stock of the Washington
Rapid Transit Co., in final move for
merger of the city,s mass transporta-
ton facilities.
The Public Utilities Commission has
denied the plan, holding the price
does not represent the fair value"
of the bus company and the case went
to court on a petition by the transit
company for an order overriding the
commission.
The transit company. in its motion
for rejection of the commissions plea
for dismissal of the suit, argued the
commission had refused to consider
evidence supporting the company's
agreement.
The company insisted that Congress,
in passing the joint resolution per-
mitting the merger, did not limit the
matter to determination of the price
at which the stock or property of the
bus company could be sold to others.
Congress, the company contended, took
into consideration increased revenues
and business which would result to the
two companies through joint operation
and improved service.
1T should be noted that what is
being bought and what the Joint
resolution says may be bought, is stock,
not physical property" the street car
company stated. I'm purchasing

physical property but physical property

Offlcial records of the District Su-
preme Court show the ONCE Of United

charged with laxity in prosecutions by
witnesses testifying before the House
Crime Committee, tried and convicted
more criminals last year than in any
corresponding period since 1881.
Some of the witnesses before the
committee stressed the supposed fail
ure of the prosecutor to proceed
against gamblerS-a field of crime in
which more offenders were convicted
last year than in the entire preceding
four-year period.
The prosecutors Office also estab-
lished something of a record for this
jurisdiction last week in the proSecu-
ton of murdererS. Four men were
brought to trial in three cases on first
degree murder charges. Three of
them were found guilty in the first
degree, while the fourth, at one time
adjudged insane. was convicted of Sec
ond-degree murder.

prosecutions in so gambling cases
involving more than 100 defendants

of these defendants have been con-

Oil Company Seeks S197,.
600 Refund of Taxes
From District.
District-Virginia bounf

The District Virginia boundary
problem-already seriously involved
in the Washington airport issue now
before a House committees again
definitely raised in a petition by the
American Oil Co. for a refund of
$4,000 in gasoline taxes paid in the
rast three years.
This was revealed yesterday when
District Auditor Daniel j. Donovan
placed before the Commissioners q
preliminary report on the gasoline
company's request. The auditors rec
ommendation was not made public.
Claims Illegal Payments.
The oil company now claims the
large tax payments of the past three
years were improperly made to the
District Government. The payments
were made on gasoline sold by a unit
of the company operating from a
place along the Alexandria highway,
some 1000 feet beyond the Highway
Bridge.
The boundary question was revived
yesterday by Peoples Counsel William
A. Roberts. who asserted that at
least great majority of the property
used as the Washington Airport is
now owned by the District Govern
ment. under the meaning of decisions
by the United States Supreme Court
that the old high water mark of the
Potomac River is the line of demarka-
tion of the Districts Jurisdiction on
the Virginia side of the river.
Evidence Before Commission.
He said evidence to this effect has
been placed before the Boundary Com
mission, established by an act of Con-
gress to determine definitely the course
of the boundary between the two juris-
dictions.
The matter is said to be involved in
the debate over the selection of a
municipal airport for the District,
which has been under study by COM
mittee of the House headed by Repre-
sentative Randolph of West Virginia.

Only the bowplate is missing from

located that at the Washington Navy
Yard and wants it replaced. He has
made many pilgrimages to inspect the
ship-on which the outlines of Admiral
Dewey's shoes as he stood on the

! have the Olympic towed to Washing
ton and to have a permanent berth
for it dredged at the tip of Hains
Point. where it could be visited daily
by tourists. He predicts it would be
the most popular memorial in the

operations. urging that the Navy De-
partment support the Cochran bill
and protesting that the Nays esti-
mated cost of bringing the Olympia
here as a memorial is too high-a to-
tai Of s65, 1000 and $4,000 annually
for maintenance of the relic. Il.
Mr.. Cochran argues that it could
be towed to Washington by a mine
layer, placed iii the Mayflower's old
berth, and that only couple of ordi-
nary seamen would be required
