Explain Tragedy on i
Highway.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LYNCHBURG, Va, March 30.-An
autopsy performed today failed to
shed any light on the mysterious
death Of Mrs. Martha Catherine
Greasy, 2O-year-old mother, whose
crushed and broken body was found
on route 20 near Lynchburg early
Sunday.
Faced with three possible leads,
State and Campbell County police were
trying to decide whether the young
woman was killed and thrown out OF
a car, whether she died from falling
or being thrown out Of an automobile
or whether she was struck by a hit
and-run auto while walking along the
highway.
Meanwhile DR.. H. o. Brown, county
coroner, termed the death "acci-
DENTAL" having given such a certifi-
cate of death Sunday.
Following the autopsy he said he
found nothing to cause him to alter
the death certificate.
Fred c. Gallagher, operator OF
filing station near where the body
was found, who was hit by passing
car which he tried to stop to get help
after the body was found, is at Memo
rial Hospital, suffering from numerous
cuts and bruises.

BUSES CAPACITY.
ORDER HELD UP TO.
HEAR Objections
Citizens Federation Chair
man to Get Chance to
Oppose Schedule.
FIVE STANDING LIMIT
DECLARED SUFFICIENT
Clayton Leads in Move to Defeat
Varying Numbers in Crowded
Carriers.

Because of objections from the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations, the
Public Utilities Commission today de-
layed its contemplated order to fix
the maximum number of passengers
to be carried on busses in the Dis
trict.
Riley E. Egen, chairman, announced
that william NICK. Clayton, chairman
OF the federation's Public Utilities
Committee, had asked to be heard be-
fore the order is issued, and because
Of another hearing scheduled for 2
pm. today he and Richmond B. Keech,
vice chairman, agreed to hold up the
order.
Saturday night Clayton proposed to
the federation that the total capacity
Of all buses be limited to five more
than the number Of seats in each We
hicle. An effort was made to have
the number Of "standees" limited to
Is per cent Of the busses' seating ca
pacity, but this was rejected by the
federation and the limit of five was
agreed on.
Varying Scale Considered.
The commission had planned to Ak
a varying scale, depending on the
size and type Of the bus, SO the range
of standing passengers would be from
five to as high as 80.
Fred A. Sager, chief engineer for
the commission, recommended the
limits tentatively approved by the
commission. These were based on the
number OF hand holds, stancheons or
straps available; the actual size Of the
aisles between seats, and the ability Of
passengers to pass through the bus.
The maximum loads were determined
on a basis Of safety Of the passengers.
The seating capacities and the maxi
mum loads recommended by Sager in
cluded the following limits: Seats II,
maximum load %; seats 81, load 80
to 81; seats 20, load 81; seats 20. load
43; seats 80, load Al to 40; seats 80,
load 54; seats IS, load 81; seats 36,
load 60: seats 81, load 81; seats 40,
load so; seats Al. load IS; seats A,
load "A.
In all parlor coaches, the seating ca
pacity would be the maximum load
carried. Three sizes of the de luxe
type buses are now in use, seating %,
27 and 20.
Weather Exceptions Noted.
The only exceptions to the max
imum loads allowed under the tenta-
tive order would be under unusual
weather or traffic conditions" when the
driver would be permitted to use his
own discretion in permitting additional
persons to stand.
Meanwhile, the commission prepared
to hear officials of the Washington
Gas Light Co. on its application for
approval of an issue Of $4,000 in
bonds at 4H per cent to refund 6 per
cent indebtedness and make capital
improvements in the company's plant
and capacity.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.
has agreed to purchase the entire issue
at par, to be retired serially In 20
years. Because the issue has not been
offered to the public, the bonds were
not advertised for bids, but the COM
pany claims it sought other offers in

PILOTS ARE 'REQUESTED'
TO STICK AT CONTROLS
Their Compartment Closed to Pas
sengers in Memorandum Of
Air Commerce Bureau.

The pilots compartments Of Amer
ican airliners are closed to passengers,
and pilots and co-pilots are ordered to
remain at their controls while in flight,
except in cases of emergency, in "re-
quest" which is expected to have the
force of an order-issued by the Bu-
reau of Air Commerce.
The action is largely due to the re-
cent Arkansas air transport crash IN
which IA persons were killed. While
the Air Commerce Bureau did not
definitely determine the cause Of the
crash, it was suggested as q strong
probability that the pilots had been
attacked by passenger who got into
their compartment or that passenger
may have been at the controls while
the pilot or co-pilot was in the pas
senger cabin.
The request is made in q memo
randum from the bureau to all airline
operators and is an amplif1cation Of .

which occupies the first floor Of the

"Let me in quick" he said. "The
cops are right on top of me-"
"Sure, Joe, come in," replied Mrs.
Zanelotti, "but don't worry about the
cops. They're not after you. You
oeed some sleep. I'll fix you bed
in the kitchen"
Five days ago Mrs. Zanelotti re-
ceived a telegram from Joseph from
somewhere down South" asking for
money. She paid no attention to it.

vague to his cousins. They thought
he had been in a Civilian Conserva-
