Overcrowding Of Old
Vehicles Hit; Offers
Investigation

Washington's street car and bus
companies appeared today to be
headed for a congressional investi.
cation as a result OF the severe
indictment brought by Representa-.
tive Merlin Hull (PO of Wisconsin
against the unsatisfactory serv.
ice" which, he claims, they provide.
In a surprise move, the Wiscon.
sin Progressive brought the sub
ject before the House District
Committee at its session today,
declaring:
IF anyone in my State crowd
ed hogs into transportation We
hicles as the people here are
crowded into street cars, he
would be fined"
OFFERS TO OPEN PROBE
He told the committee that if
members have time to go into the
proposition during the remainder
of the congressional session or dur.
ing the summer, he would "be glad
to offer resolution to make an
investigation of the transit COM
panieS here at the next committee
session."
Charging that the transit COM
panies worked 10 years to have
the recent merger approved and
had made millions of dollars, Rep
resentative Hull declared that
they still provide old buses and
that the citizens are forced un.
necessarily to be crowded into the
buses.
He proposed that a study of
the transit companies be made
with view to determining "whe.
ther or not these companies are
fulfilling their contract with the
people and if not what can be
done about it,"
Service Worse, Claim
Asserting that the street car
system is getting worse and
worse in point of service" and
that the people of the city are
being put to inconvenience by
the "proclivities of the transpor.
tation system" he suggested the
possibility that a competitive bus
system be inaugurated here.
Representative Randolph Car
penter Cd, of Missouri. chairman
of the special subcommittee which
today filed its report on the traf-
fic situation here, agreed that
something should be done about
the unsatisfactory transit service,
but pointed out that the rapid in
crease in population here during
the last few years and the CEN
tralization of the Government
buildings in the triangle area had
been responsible for increasing
the transit problem. He added:
IF the population continues
to grow, they will have to nut
SubwayS in here"
Representative Hull replied that,
despite the circumstances, some
one should proceed at once to map
out a workable plan for providing
satisfactory service, "since the
street car companies can't, or at
least have not done So"
William A. Roberts, peoples coun-
sci, said he was not averse to the
investigation suggestion, but urged
that the situation may be improved
by the enactment of two bills now
pending before the committee.

Polish EMBASSY
Gets Scrubbing
FOR NEW ENVOY
BY HELEN ESSARY

The Polish embassy is being
swept and garnished and made
ready for the arrival of the new
ambassador, Count jerry Potocki
On May 81, aboard the new
Polish ship, Batory, making its
maiden voyage to New York, the
count will come to this country
with his wife and take up the
duties of the diplomatic office.
Members of the Polish embassy
staff, who carried on so success
fully their official duties while
the former ambassador, M. Patek,
was i'll, are excited over the ar
rival of the new ambassador.
Count Potocki is said to be a
handsome, romantic personality.
He has a brilliant mind and flair
for the picturesque.
His wife, a Spaniard from Peru,
Is beautiful and wealthy. I hope
she has the look of that other
lovely Countess Potocki of the big
eyes and gorgeous black hair. A
copy of her portrait hung in every
house in the Gay NinetieS.
The ambassador actually is Of
the same distinguished family as
the picture book countess who was
q beauty Of Napoleons day.
The new Polish ambassador, by
the way, is the younger brother of
Count Alfred Potocki, owner of
that famous old estate, Lancut.
Although Count jerry Potockl
has never lived in Washington, he
has been here for many years
on canvas.
If you've seen that portrait
Of Marshall Pilsudski on horse
back, in the embassy ballroom,
you must remember his three
aides at the back Of the canvas.
The new ambassador is one of the
three - the handsomest one. so
Teddy Weintal. the Polish secre-
tary, tells me.
Count Potocki, after ending his
duty as aide to the Polish liberia
tor, continued an interesting pub
lie career. He was elected to the
Polish senate. Appointed ambas-
Sador to Rome, he resigned with
out serving.
His previous station before his
choice for Washington was as am
baSSador to AngOra, Turkey.
Turkey is an important post,
Sentlmentally, in Polish diplo-
macy. Its interest goes back to the
beginning of the partitions" of
Poland in 1893.
1.-The Partitions" my State De-
partrnent friends tell me, were
the result of the cutting up of
Poland and the presentation
thereof to other countries.
At this time Poland ceased to
exist as a country in the eyes of
all i the world, except Turkey.
Turkey refused to recognize the
partitions"
At every court of every Turkish
Sultan during the last $50 years
until the Treaty of Versailles
gave Poland back her identity,
the marshal of the court, in an
nouncing foreign representatives,
would say:
"And' where is the Ambassa-
dor of POland?"
At at every court, year after
year, the answer would be the
same.
"The Ambassador of Poland
has been delayed. He is on his
way"
Potocki, incidentally, is pro
nounced as if it were spelled
"Pototzski." jerry is Polish for
George"

Democrats AlUait Indication
 of Glass Platform Vieps

WASHINGTON, June 2-Demo- cratic leaders are wondering wheth- CT Senator Carter Glass of Virginia will play his accustomed role in shaping the 1886 party platform or will absent himself from delib- erations of the Resolutions Com mittee.
 Ever since 1896 the Virginian has had a part in writing virtually ev- cry Democratic platform. He has been especially interested in none tary and banking blanks, but in no wise has he been restricted to those subjects.
 While he has differed with some Administration policies, Glass has emphasized that he will support President Roosevelt.
 He drafted the sound money" plank. in the 1892 platform. Since then he has rarely lost an oppor- tunity to intimate his disagreement with monetary policies of the Ad- ministration. His wry observation that If you have any gold they'll put you in jail' has brought many a Senate chuckle.

Traditions Are Shattered as Republicans Lay Plans
 for Hard-driping Campaign
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Prospects of a lively, hard driving campaign are further confirmed by the plan of various Republican lead CTS to notify" their Presidential nominee immediately after tn e Cleveland convention.
 Considering all of the eircum- stances, such plan could only have had one origin It unques- tionably arose from a widespread conviction among Republican strate- gists that the party's best hope of winning lay in vigorous, sustain ed attack, started as early as possible.
 In politics, notnlng IS more dead ly than anti-climax. Once formally under way campaign needs to be kept moving with increased mo- mentum right up to election day. The old tradition of notification ceremony around mid-August rested on belief in both parties that any campaign which started too soon would lag, leaving candidates and voters weary of it before the finish.
 The Democrats broke away from that tradition four years ago. Now the Republican chieftains are pro posing that their party do the same, indicating they hope to keep their heavy artillery going full blast from June to November.
