TRANSIT SERVICE
AGAIN DEFENDED
Row Nearly Develops When
Roberts Objects to Com
pariSon of Fares.

Representatives Of Washington
civic organizations continued today to
lombard the Public Utilities Commis-
sion with a varied assortment of COM
plants about the Capital Transit Co.'S
street car and bus service, the condi-
ton of some of its equipment, and the
attitude of it's employees toward pas
Sengers.
For the second time since the COM
mission started the transit hearings.
however, a champion for the company
was permitted to take the witness
stand out of turn. but his testimony
nearly developed a row.
The latest defender of the company
Is r. H. Phillips, owner of the old car
line that ran from Chevy Chase Lake
to Kensington and Sandy Spring. Nd,
which was leased by the Capital Trac-
ton Co., before the transportation
merger. He also is stockhoder in
the transit company.
Phillips testified that washington's s
street car and bus service is the best
in the United States. He complained,
too, about the procedure Of the hearing
and that witnesses had not been asked
if they had any favorable suggestions
to make which might add to the rev.
enue of the company. In addition. he
argued that the per cent tax on gross
earnings was excessive, and that a
zone system of fares should be adopted
so passengers would be required to
pay cents extra at certain points
BY way of comparison, Phillips
started to discuss fares on steam rail-
roads, but Peoples Counsel William A.
Roberts interrupted. He declared he
was willing to aid witnesses to state
their opinions, whether critical or fav-
orable, but if the steam railroad ques-
tion was to be injected he wanted wit

JAPAN MAY SHUN
BRITISH NAVY PLAN
Other Delegations Also to
Voice Viewpoints on Pub
Iicity Proposal.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, December 49, Great
Britain's plan for new naval agree
ment, it was understood today, will be
rejected tomorrow by the Japanese
delegation to the International Naval
Conference.
Other delegations were expected to
express their opinions on the pro-
posal tomorrow or Friday.
The British plan involves public
declaration by each naval power of
its building program for a period of
about six years, and suggests that dis
cuSSion of eventual equality of fleets
should be dropped at the present con-
ference.
A recess in the sessions until jan
uary instead of January 2 was con-
sidered likely as the result of private
talks among American and Italian
delegates.
Slate to Be Wiped Clean.
1t was expected that the confer
ence would have virtually a clean
slate before the planned recess Sat
urday. after expressions have been
made on the British plan. Thus there
would be opportunity for a fortnight
Of maneuvering and private discus
sionS before resumption of an attempt
to work out other compromise for
mulas.
The Italians suggestion for a longer
recess than originally planned was
not explained, but it was presumed
they desired to return to Rome for
the Christmas holidays and possibly
to confer with Premier Mussolini.
They were generally considered to
be maintaining an attitude of listen
ing and observing, awaiting definite
developments before committing them
selves to concrete proposals.
Italians to Voice Views.
Upon their return from Rome, the
active part in the deliberations, espe-
cially when any question concerning
the Mediterranean arises.
Norman H. Davis, Admiral William
H. Standley and other members of
the American delegation called on
the Italian representatives for gen.
eral exchange of views. 1t was under
stood no conclusive agreement was
reached on any major aspects of the
naval situation.
The French will complete the cycle
of private talks by comforting with
the Americans later.

VICTORY CLAIMED
BY TOWNSEND|TES
Republicans Insist, How
ever, Election of Main Was
G. 0. P. Success.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The victory of Werner w. Main in
the third Michigan congressional dis
trict yesterday by more than a 2-to-1
vote is widely interpreted as a VIC
tory for the Townsend old-age plan.
However, while Townsend leaders
were inclined to assert today that
"as Main goes, so goes the Nation" 4"
Republicans here insisted that the
Main victory was far more than a
Townsend victory. They said Mains
success was first of all a Republican
victory and a sharp slap at the Roose-
Yelt New Deal
From the returns in Michigan yes
terday, it is clear, they contend, that
many thousands of Republican voters
did not go to the polls at all. They
interpreted this as a diSinclination to
support the Townsend plan, in which
they do not believe. The Republican
nominee, Main, having pledged him.
self to this $200-a-month pension plan
for all persons 60 years of age or
more, the alternative of these Re-
publicanS was to vote for Howard w.
Cavanaugh, Democratic opponent of
the Townsend plan and ardent sup
porter of the Roosevelt New Deal, or
not to vote. They had no desire, ap-
parently, to appear to give support
to the Roosevelt New Deal, SO they
remained away from the polls.
Vote Compared With 1894.
Compare the vote cast in the special
election yesterday and the election
IN the Michigan third district in
1884. Main received total of 24,837
votes and Cavanaugh II ,631. The total
vote was 35 ,468. In 1884 the late
Henry M. Kimball, Republican, was
elected to the House with a vote of
41,587 to 32,928 for his Democratic
opponent, a total vote of 74,578. The
fact that the aection yesterday was
a special election, with no other Offices
contended for, undoubtedly had some
thing to do with the comparatively
small vote cast. But beyond that, the
Republicans say, was distaste on the
part of many Republican voters osten-
sibly to support the Townsend plan.
The showing made by the Roose-
velt New Dealers, supporting Cav
anaugh, was distinctly not impressive
In 1882 the Republican in the third
Michigan district won by the smallest
kind of a margin in a district which
has for years been strongly Republic
an. He received 1888 votes to 49,
093 for the Democrat, margin of lit
tie more than 5000 votes.
While Main embraced the Town
send plan and campaigned for it, he

ROME, Italy, December 18-Queen
