"A good comrade you are" said Pedro and
continued to pluck at his guitar as Tomasso
set to work.
"Que trabajGdor!' he exclaimed admiringly
after while. but what he was thinking was,
"How long is that old fellow going to stay
fussing over this bridge?"
Happily, it was not so long In less than
an hour the new plank had been nailed into
the foot bridge.
Tomorrow, said Tomasso, Il shall bring
another plank, and little by little, Pedro,
amigo, we soon will have new, strong bridge.
Now, go to my little mine. He crossed the
foot-bridge, took the trail on the other side,
and disappeared Pedro knew Tomasso's habits;

he would not reappear till the
sun was near setting. Prudently,
however, Pedro waited, his eyes
half closed.
Now. he sprang lightly to his
feet, dived into the cabin, and
came out holding an old tin
fork. He walked to a willow
bush by the water, broke off a
twig, unscrewed the cap of the
gasoline tank of TOmassO's fliv-
yer. and plunged the twig with
in. He whisked the twig out,
and with his thumb-nail marked
the line of the gasoline level.
Then, introducing the tines of
his fork into the little holes left
by the magnetic key which
Tomasso had taken with him,
he turned on the magnetic,
cranked the flivver. and drove
off along the rough wagon trail,
up river to Tomasso's rancho.

pwled almost at his feet, and across
the way the lately risen sun shone

Sash on, and his guitar across his knees.
There suddenly sounded sCTeech of brakes
near by, Scrunching of locked wheels on
gravel. Silence returned.
Good morning, Tomasso," said Pedro
softly.
He did not look around; he knew it was
Tomasso, for Tomasso came thus every morn
ing. He came from his rancho, mile up the
river, where he lived with his young wife,
Feices. Every morning he left his fivver here
by Pedros adobe, crossed the river on the
foot bridge, and vanished for the day into the
flank of the mesa. He had a little mine over
there, out of which he scraped now and then
pinch of gold. Everyone knew that he must
get pinch of gold out of it. for otherwise
how could he keep Felices in such fnery of
calico, silk and lace? Only to the handsome

D. c. RENTAL BILL
OF j. S. S2,086,0()D
Employees Are Housed in 78
BuiIdings-Average Cost
95 Cents Per Foot.

The Federal Government is spend
ing s2,O86 900 annually in rentals here
for housing employees in 78 buildings.
Clay j. Guthridge, head of the Di-
vision of Government Space Control,
said these buildings are scattered all
over the city and the rented space
ranges from two rooms to entire
structures.
The average cost runs around 95
cents a square foot. Some of the
space. Guthridge said, is rented from
month to month, and if some of the
agencies do not occupy the space for
a whole year, the total of little over
$2,000,000 annually will not be main
tained.

The Government is paying around
SITS a square foot for a total approx
imating $150,0O0. This is occupied by
the controller of the currency, the
Federal Reserve Board and the Bu-
reau of Customs.
In addition to a rent bill based on
more than 100000 annually, the
Federal Government is spending some
100000 additional for maintenance.
Although the N. r. A. has been de-
clared unconstitutional and some 1000
of its employees have been released, the
famous Blue Eagle organization has
not yet relinquished any Of its space.
1t continues to be the banner renting
organization, being found in Is differ

250,000 square feet of space.
Among the space problems with
which the authorities are wrestling
is where to put the Federal Trade
Commission, which occupies the tenn
porary building at Twentieth street
and Constitution avenue. The Fed
eral Reserve Board wants to erect its
new structure shortly on that land,
and the trade group will have to
vacate.
The social security organization and
others in the making eventually will
need space, and this adds to the prob
lem.
In some cases the Government has
leased the basement of garages in
which to store part of the multitude
nous files that are now piling up.
National Park Service officials are
making a thorough survey of the
space situation in all the Government
departments and independent agen-
cies to determine how best to handle
space now occupied by files, with a
view to shifting them elsewhere.
They want to replace the file cases
with desks, so that the Government
may save money.

INQUIRY RESUMED

Testimony of Engineer
Experts.

The Public Utilities Commission re-
sumed its public inquiry today into
the reasonableness of rates charged
by the Washington and Georgetown
Gas Light Co.'S. receiving testimony of
engineer experts on the value of
property owned by the utility COM
panieS.
A. C. Cline, expert of the Stone &
Webster Engineering Co., the first
witness, made the statement at the
outset of the hearing in correcting
certain exhibits on record that the
original cost instead of reproduction
cost should be used by the commission
in setting new valuation.
Decision Is Appealed.
This procedure, he admitted, would
add approximately Sl,000,O00 to the
value of $l6,993,0O0 recently fixed by
the commission for rate-making pur-
poses. This decision has been ap-
pealed to the District Supreme Court
not only by the companies, but also
by William A. Roberts, peoples
counsel
After Mr.. Cline's testimony, fur
ther evidence of original costs will
be given by B. F. Roster, another en-
gineering expert brought here for the
hearing.

timony by Andrew Sangsber, one of
its former accountants who took part
in the original cost studies made in
the 1914 gas valuation case, and by

CRIMINAL JUSTICE
GROUP ORGANIZES
Yaden Named Temporary
Head-Fact- hiding Pol
icy Stressed.

Plans for a Washington Criminal
Justice Commission took more definite
shape today after the Organization
Committee held its initial meeting,
elected temporary officers and drafted
an outline of policy,
James G. Yaden, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
was elected temporary chairman of
the Organization Committee; Jesse C..
Suter, temporary treasurer, and Will
liam F. Seals, temporary secretary.
The following will serve on the COM
mittee: Arthur Clarendon Smith,
Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley. John Remon,
John R. Fitzpatrick and L. Corrin
Strong.
The committee meeting yesterday
authorized preparation of pro-
spectus, setting forth the proposed
commissions aims and ideals, which
was scheduled for distribution within
a month to civic organizations,
officials and interested individuals.
Complete organization of full COM
mission by Fall will be sought.
Fact-Finding Body.
A brief statement of policy prepared
by the committee yesterday said the
proposed commission would not be
IAN apprehending, prosecuting or
judicial body (nor) assume to perform
the duties of accredited officials
charged with the administration OF
criminal justice"
1T shall be a fact-f1nding body,
maintaining systematic and compre-
henSive records of criminal cases" the
statement continued. 1T shall en-
deavor to create and sustain an in
formed public opinion on law en-
forcement, thus gaining for the au-
thorities better public understanding
of their problems, closer public CO.
operation and greater public support"
According to members of the Or
ganization Committee, the commission
would not be a "snooping or head
hunting" organization or group COM
mitted to work such as was performed
by Chicago's famed Secret Six" The
actual fact-finding work would be
performed by paid professional staff,
including reporters to cover police
headquarters, the courts and other
law enforcement agencies daily. The
commissions Board of Directors would
assemble and analyze the informa-
ton gathered by subordinates and
make reports and recommendations
on the basis of the known facts.
Baltimore Plan Outlined.
Every reported criminal case would
be checked up and followed through
to its final disposition so that it can
be definitely shown just what per-
centage of law breakers are appre-
hended, how soon each is brought to
justice, the penalty, etc.
Largely as the result of the work Of
the Baltimore Criminal Justice Com
mission, 96 per cent of all criminal
cases in the nearby metropolis are
terminated within three weeks after
arrest of the suspect, C. Delano Ames,
president of the Baltimore commission
told yesterdays meeting here.
The proposed commission, it is
planned, would be supported by public
subscription.
