METERS IN TAXIS URGED
AS RATE PROBLEM CURE
Schultz, In Radio Broadcast, 0p-
poses Compulsory In
surance.

Solution Of the taxicab rats prob
lem by requiring cabs to operate on a
meter basis was advocated last night
by Representative Schultz, Democrat
Of Indiana in q BROADCAST over WJSV
Schultz. member of the House
District Committee, declared:
In fairness TO all. believe some
method should be worked out whereby
the taxicabs would be operated on a
meter basis, which is the only fair
and honest way of conducting the
taxicab business. Then the passenger
would pay exactly for the distance
that he is Hauled, which would create
a living wage for the driver, who can
thereby earn his expenses and estab-
iish for himself tine social and finan-
eial standing that he does not today
enjoy"
Schultz also expressed objection to
proposed compulsory taxicab liability
insurance, which, he said, would make
rates in the District prohibitive.

Due to a shortage Of funds. prisoners
released from Lorton Reformatory at
the expiration of their terms since the
latter part of May have not received
their usual $40 gratuity.
This was revealed today in letter
from the Parole Board to the District
Commissioners asking that some ac-
ton be taken to provide the needed
money.
THE small amount these prisoners
now receive consists only Of what they
have earned during their incarcera-
ton, and is not suficient to keep them
in food and shelter until they can Sc
cure employment" wrote Wilbur La
Roe. chairman of the Parole Board.
La Roe said the board is interesting
itself in the matter because it has
jurisdiction over prisoners until the
expiration of their full terms, even
though they are released before that
time.
I'VE find that the failure to pro-
vide them with this $40 gratuity is
making very dificult their rehabilita-
tion as contemplated by the parole law
and Is causing them to flock to our
ONCE for aid which we are not in a
posstscn to render" La Roe stated,

APPROVAL OF BUS
SUBSTITUTION FOR
TROLLEyS LIKELY
Utilities Board Is Expected
to Act Monday on
Petition.
OFFICIAL INTIMATI0N
OF DECISION LACKING
Transit Company Proposes Three
Services to Be Operated on
Connecticut Avenue.

The Public Utilities Commission Is
expected to approve Monday the pc
tition of the Capital Transit Co. to
substitute buses for street cars on up
per Connecticut avenue.
Although no official intimation as
to the decision was given during the
all-day public hearing yesterday,
members OF the commission are
thought to be favorably inclined to
the proposal.
1t was announced at conclusion of
the hearing that interested persons
may present additional arguments or
facts in writing Monday or before.
No organized civic opposition to the
substitution developed yesterday, al
though various individuals and the
Forest Hills Citizens Association pro-
tested the change. Edwin S. Hege.
president of the Chevy Chase Citizens
Association, said his organization has
taken no action in the matter.
Throughout the hearing, he was criti-
cal but not actually hostile,
The trsnSi; company proposes to in
Rtitute three bus services south from
Chevy Chase Circle 10 replace the
present trolley cars Two would con-
meet with Eleventh street and Penn
sylvsnia svenue. one neinS an express
service with only q few stops within
limited areas 81 either end of the line,
and the other 8 local service. The
third line would connect the circle
with the east end Of Calvert Street
Bridge where a bus terminal would be
built
J. H. Hanna. president Of the COM
pany. told the commission this service
would be supplemented by special
buses during the rush hours running
10 Potomac Park and other areas. The
present Chevy Chase de luxe coach
line would be continued. at least until
the public makes known definitely
whether 1t still wants the service,
Hanna declared
During normal periods there would
be about 3l2-minute 3 intervals be-
tween buses, the commission was in
formed. and this would be shortened
In rush hours.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer spoke in favor of the bus sub
stitution. contending it would accel-
crate, traffic movement. He said ex-
istence of the car line with its center
trolley poles IS a considerable obstacle
to vehicular flow.
A number of residents of apartment
houses along Connecticut avenue were
particularly enthusiastic about the
change, pointing out that the noise of
street cars would be eliminated.

Funds Lack Prevents Paying
Freed C0nuicts $40 Gratuity

"Our only recourse Is TO refer them
to the relief agencies or to the Tran
sient Bureau"
Capt. M. NJ Barnard. superintendent
of District penal institutions, said ap-
proximately 25 men had been released
since funds for gratuities ran out.
This payment amounts to approx
imately $4,000 year.
The shortage was caused by the in
crease in the cost of supplies pur-
chased by the reformatory and
amounts to approximately $4,000,
District Auditor Daniel j. Donovan
disclosed.
Since we ran out !. Of money We
have been operating on credit, but
this situation made it impossible to
give the released prisoners their cash
gratuities," Donovan declared.
He said a $4,000 deficiency bill to
cover the shortage is now pending in
Congress and probably viii be reported
out by the House Appropriations Com
mittee next week. The committee has
been asked to raise the amount to
SIS, 600, Donovan asserted.
He said all prisoners released since
May will be paid the money owed

PAROLE REFUSED
TWO At LORTON;;
LAW CRITICIZED
Brinker Brothers, Jailed for
"BIackmaiI," Cited as
Illustrations.
YOUNGER OF PAIR GIVEN
HOPE OF LATER RELEASE
Large Families of Men Noted in
Decision, but Terms Seen
Inadequate.

The Parole Board last night turned
down the applications for parole OF
Richard J. and Charles z. Brinker.
brothers, who are serving terms Of
Fl ON four months to two years In Lor-
ton Retormatory on conviction Of con-
spiracy to defraud the Catholic
Church Of Forest Glen, Md, of large
sums Of money. Both have served five
months.
In the case of Charles, the younger
brother, the board concluded he was
more or less drawn into this offense
by his brother Richard" and indicated
they might act favorably on an appli-
cation for parole after he has served
half the minimum term. No such
statement was made concerning Rich
ard.
In announcing its action, the board
again took occasion to criticize the
Districts indeterminate sentence law
which requires a judge TO impose
minimum sentence not greater than
one-f1fth of the legal maximum It
has recommended the law be changed
to conform with the Federal statute
which provides a minimum sentence
of one-third the term actually i'm
posed.
Both Families Large.
Richard Brinker has a wife and
nine children and Charles has a wife
and eight children. Taking notice of
this, the board stated it realized the
families undoubtedly are suffering.
The board is not without sympathy
for the families Of the prisoners, and
realizes that altogether too often it Is
the innocent relatives who suffer the
most from wrongdoing, but it is
equally obvious that no prisoners would
remain in the reformatory if sympathy
for relatives we're deemed controlling
in the matter of parole" it stated.
In justifying its refusal of parole
the board said Of the prisoners: Their
dealings were with an aged priest, and
they pleaded guilty to pyramiding the
costs of repair work by many thou
sands of dollars The court COM
mented upon it at the time of the
trial as a fragrant case of blackmail."
Neither of the brothers had previous
criminal record, the board found.
Considering the nature Of the Of
tense, the minimum sentence of four
months is obviously short, and is
probably explained by the fact that
under our parole law the court was
obliged to impose q minimum SEN
tencc not greater than one-fifth of
the maximum" tie board added.
Frank r. Jelleff, member Of the
Parole Board, To-Day took cognizance
of reports that the procedure in the
case Of the Brinker brothers was not
the same as that followed in the case
of Edmund D. Rheem, former Wash
ington broker ,Iellefi denied this.
saying Rheem twice had been refused
application for parole and then was
granted only a provisional parole
after he had served all but 10 months
of his sentence Rheem's parole is
contingent on the condition that he
remain away from Washington. This
is the first application of the Brinker
brothers.
