Rockville Pike Citizens
Protest Against Lack
Of Heat In Buses

The Rockville Pike Citizens Asso-
citation Tuesday night went on record
as protesting the lack of adequate
heating facilities in the Capital Tran
sit Buses operating from Rockville
to Washington. A committee, compos-
ed of George H. Lamar and Mrs.
Eugene Ochrenseiter, was named to
take up the complaint with the prop
er authorities.
The resolution reads as follows:
WHEREAS The buses, now being
operated under the franchise of the
Montgomery County Bus Line, by the
Capital Transit Company, between
downtown Washington, via Wisconsin
Avenue, Rockville Pike and Frederick
Road, and Washington Grove, are not
equipped with proper heating facili-
ties to guard against undue exposure
in traversing the distance involved;
and
WHEREAS There is marked dis
parity in this regard between said
Montgomery County Bus Line and
that of the Blue Ridge Lines, over
practically the same route between
Gaithersburg and downtown Washing
ton, the satisfactory heating of whose
BUSES demonstrates that the lack OF
such proper heating is due to no lack
of suitable devices obtainable by sale
Capital Transit Company:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RE.
SOLVED By the Rockville Pike
Citizens Association:
First. That there is urgent need fol
the installation by the Capital Tran
sit Company of suitable heating facil
tiles, at least, on such buses as are
used for suburban transportation ovel
the Rockville Pike and Frederick
Road.
Second. That committee of thu
Association be appointed to wait OF
the proper authorities, including
officers of the Capital Transit Com
pany, with a view to a prompt solu
ton of the difficulty.

OF course not. The Senator pulled boner by

the truth would be bigger boner.
When honestly marshaled and correctly appraised,
all of the facts in the entire incident of embro-
ment of the World War are to the highest credit Of
this nation and of woodrow Wilson.

there were out of all proportion to their true sig

fear and msgiving over what otherwise is brilliant
chapter in history.
Did Woodrow Wilson know about all secret treaties?
What if he did? AS international law and practice
then stood, we had been pushed to point where
peace was impossible much longer. If we had not
taken the defensive against German encroachments,
we would aSSuredly have been forced to defend
selves against allied aggressions
WOODROW WILSON'S knowledge of what the
w allies promised each other to cement their al.
leglance is irrelevant The important allegation how
ever, is that afterward he denied knowledge In other
words the only point is: WAS Wilson liar?"
Stated that way, the whole thing is absurd That
tombstone jawed covenanter has been accused Of
much. but never before of lying.
What misunderstanding there may have been is
another matter. misunderstanding there certainly
was because some of the secret" e. e. unproclaed1
treaties were nevertheless matters of public knowl-
edge, and so, obviously Of Wilson's.

once before the Supreme Court was in similar
~ difficulty and welcomed relief from Congress
temporarily Shortly after the Civil War when the
Federal government having difficulty enforcing
reconstruction laws, Southern states went into the
courts to protect citizens from the Federal military
authorities. One Mississippi editor McCardle, had
been arrested He started habeas corpus proceedings
which eventually reached the Supreme Court. Thad-

the court would use this case to nvalidate the
case argued before the Supreme Court, Con-
gress passed act-over JohnSonS veto-prohib
ing the exercise by the court of jurisdiction APP

year later the court, in a unanimous opinion,
accepted this restriction, and dismissed the Nc
Cardle case for want of jurisdiction. Chief Justice
Chase said:
THE provision of the act of 1867 affirming the
appellate jurisdiction of this court in cases of ha
beas corpus is expressly repealed 1t is hardly posi-
BILE to imagine clearer case of positive exception.
We not at liberty to inquire into the motives of
the legislature. We can only examine into its power
under the Constitution; and the power to make eX-
ceptons to the appellate jurisdiction of this court
is given in express words.
-. Without jurisdiction the court can not pro-
coed ]. this court can not proceed to pronounce
judgment in this cause. for it has no longer juris-
diction of the appeal; and judicial duty is not less
ftly performed by declining ungranted jurisdiction
than In exercising firmly that which the Constitu-
