TIPPING

There has been established a new
system in the tipping classes In the
past, the students handed in no
work until the budget was COM
plete, except of course, the tests
which we're frequently taken. But
Miss Burdett has set up a new sys-
tenn. Several of the tipping students
have reached the letter budgets,
which are groups of business letters.
In place of taking the usual tests
from now on, we will type one OF
the letters as nearly perfect as pos
sible, and each days work Will be
handed in at the end of the per-
iod, and will be kept in a file. 1t
is hoped that this system will work
out more successfully than the
other.

WANPLERW|NS
HIS FREEDOM

The Supreme Court today freed
T. Morris Wampler, former Wash
ington attorney, from the Federal
prison at Lewsburg, Pa, where he
was sent pending payment Of his
fine for evading income taxes.
Striking at practice of the Fed
eral District Court in Baltimore,
the courts decision, in answer to
questions certified to the Third
Circuit Court at Philadelphia, held
that the Maryland court should
not have sentenced him to prison
for the payment of his fine.
When Wampler was sentenced
to prison on a charge of evading
payment Of income taxes, a fine
of $1,000 and costs was imposed.
The clerk of the court added to
the commitment that the former
attorney be kept in prison until
both the fine and the costs were
paid.
Appealing to hee Federal courts
in Pennsylvania, Wampler con-
tended that the provision requir-
ing imprisonment until the fine
was paid was not part Of the SEN
tence. ~

MERGER PLANS
FOR TRANSIT
DUE TODAY
Is Fina | e
For Washington
Company

First step toward dissolution Of
the washington Rapid Transit
Company and a physical merger
Of its properties with the Capital
Transit Company was scheduled
to be taken today.
Directors Of the w. r. T. Com
pany were to meet, this afternoon
to vote in favor of calling a spe-
cial meeting of stockholders at
which the vote Of dissolution can
be taken. This meeting can be
held only after three, weeks no.
tice is given.
No Doubt on Vote
Since the Capital Transit Com
pany, in purchasing the Washing
ton Rapid Transit Company, be-
came owner of 21,237 shares Of
Washington Rapid Transit Com
pany stock, there is no doubt as
to the outcome of the dissolution
vote. The street car company was
authorized by the Public Utilities
Commission last week to purchase
the Sixteenth Street, bus line for
$475,913. Both companies are con-
trolled by North American Com
pany, public utility holding cor
poration.
The directors also will approve
a transfer arrangement between
buses and street cars of both
cmpanieS, The WRTCO will
operate on a 10-cent cash fare, or
a SIPS weekly pass, as it has done
heretofore, with the additional
transfer privileges to the car COM
pany lines.
New Directors Named
It was announced today that
DR.. William Mcclellan, president
of the Potomac Electric Power
Company; John H. Hanna, presi-
dent and G. Thomas Dunlop, vice
president and general counsel of
Capital Transit Compan, had been
named new directors on the
WRTCO board.
They replace j. E. Baker, who
was the nominal owner of the
81 ,237 shares Of WRTCO stock
sold the street car company: VIII!
liam A. Scully and Louis c. Bar
ley, member Of the Alexandria,
Va, city council and attorney for
the North American Company.
The other directors are E. D. Mer.
rlu, president of WRTCO. Eugene
Thompson, George P. Hoover and
James G. Yaden.

Ken Murray
Says:

Herbert Hoover certainly used
harsh words the, other night
when he asserted that the New
Deal policies are drawing the
people into q cOlIectiviSt desert.
judging from the amount Of
taxes, the word should be "cOI-
lectOrs."
OF course, I can't blame Mr..
Hoover for being worried /. Inn.
agine being stranded on o hot,
dry desert with that high, stiff
collar he wears.
The use Of the name Hoover
in the headlines is causing quite
a lot Of confusion as to whether
we are reading about the ex.
President or j. Edgar. The
main difference is that Herbert
is still trying to recapture Public
Office No. l.
Isn't it sad, though, when you
see the plight of the 1928 leaders
of the Democratic and Republi.

CONFERENCES
Will RESUME
THISWEEK
Capital to Benefit BY
Amendment Offered
BySen. Robinson


.Washington's 1887 budget was
tied up definitely today with the
deficiency bin now before the
Senate. Appropriations Subcom.
mittee.
Senator Elmer Thomas Cd,
Oklahoma, chairman of the Dis.
trict subcommittee, announced
that he would be unable to hold
another conference on the District
Appropriation bill until the de.
ficiency bill was out Of the way.
Two members of the District sub
committee are working hard on
the deficiency subcommittee.
Put Off BY Senate
House managers were prepared
to continue the conferences last
week, but were put off by the
Senate. The chances are now
that the conference will be called
the middle of this week.
First on the program is the dis
cussion over the testimony of
l.. H. Parker, tax expert, who was
questioned privately by Senate
and House confereeS after the
conference broke UP over the Fed
eral lump sum contribution in
cluded in the bill.
The District will benefit also
with a slice from the huge
amounts contemplated in the de-
ficiency bill. Latest develop
mentS include an amendment
offered by Senator Joseph Robin
son CD, Arkansas, for 5000, 900
benefiting the Smithsonian In
stitution. The institution desires
this money to set up astro phys
ical laboratories throughout the
world for the study Of solar
radiation in connection with the
long time weather forecasts.
For Inauguration
There remains also the uues-
ton of providing funds for the
inaugural ceremonies January
20. A request already has been
laid before the subcommittee for
$4,000 to build the inaugural
stands in front of the Capitol.
Additional funds will be asked
by District Commissioners for
police and incidental expenses.
The bill as it came from the
House includes $5,550,00O for
public buildings in the District.
This item contains estimates of
5000, 1000 for continuation of con-
struction of the Government
Printing Office annex and ST.
O0O,0 for additional building
at the Bureau Of Engraving and
