FIGHT IS PUSHED
ON 0NE.MAN CAR
Conduit Road Citizens Seek to
Enlist Others in
Movement.

A movement to secure the co-opera.
ton of all civic groups In petitionina
for an appeal from the Public Utility
Commissions decision allowing the
Capitol Transit Co. to purchase and
recondition 20 Providence-type used
cars and to adapt 20 Presidents con.
ference cars to one-man operation VA
begun last night by the Conduit Road
Citizens Association.
Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts,
In statement issued shortly after the
decision was announced Wednesday
protested the commissions action, and
said that he would consider q court
appeal, but that his action would be
governed by the attitude of civic or
ganizations. At last nights meeting,
the first one held by . citisens' as
sociation since the decision was made
public, . formal resolution was passed
asking for . rehearing of the case
and promising cooperation with
Roberts.
This action followed . lengthy con-
sideration Of transit problems, during
which several protests were made
against putting any more one-man
cars on the streets, and especially
against the conversion Of the stream
lined cars into one-man cars. Plans
were discussed for contacting other
citizens associations in an effort to
put forth q united front In opposition
to the commissions action.
Protests also were made against in.
frequent service on the two transporta.
ton lines serving the Conduit road
section, bus lire on Conduit road and
the Cabin John street car line. Claim.
ing that . consolidation Of the two
lines would lead to better and more
frequent service, . resolution was In.
troduced asking for the abolition of
the Cabin John route and the sub
stitutton Of more buses along Conduit
road. This met with some oppo-
sition. however, and was given to 4
committee for study and action at the
next meeting.

while, police expected to release Carl
Chase, colored houseboy at the rooming
house, who also has been held for
questioning.
Mai. Ernest W. Brown, superin-
tendent Of police. declared the prompt
solution OF the crime was an excellent
example Of cooperation among various
agencies Of the District government
He said the Detective Bureau, the
coroner's of1ice and the Health De-
partment worked together and pro-
cured results.
The crime and its apparent solution
bear close parallel to the Titterton
murder in New York recently, police
say. Much the same scientific detec-
tive methods were followed in an effort
to trace the criminal.
When Mrs. Goodwin's body was
found. detectives were unable to locate
any fingerprints. They took samples
of the blood, however, and made a
thorough search of the premises, which
disclosed the death weapon.
After Robinson's arrest, police care
fully scraped beneath his finger nails
and the deposits found there were
turned over to DR.. Hunter for chemical
and microscopic examination. The
blood tests also were made by the
pathoiogist in cooperation with the
coroner's office.
