WILSON CASE ROW
.PER|LSCR|ME WAR
Cooperation Menaced, but
Mai. Brown Prefers to
Avoid Argument.

The question Of who solved the VIII
son murder case, raised BY United
States Attorney Leslie c. Garnett in =
letter to Mai. Ernest w. Brown, police
superintendent, today threatened to
thwart plans for . better coordination
Of police and prosecutive activities.
Maj. Brown, at first inclined to make
vigorous reply to Garnett's unexpected
claim. today said he felt no good could
come from such q discussion.
"Afte ALL" he said, "the important
thing, it seems to me, Is that the MUIR
der was solved. II the district attor-
ney's office or anybody else solved the
case, it is all right with me. All am
interested in is getting cases solved,
and I believe that's all the public Is
interested In"
Claim Made In Letter.
Garnett's claim for credit In fur
nishing the lead" that led to the ar
rest Of the killers OF Allen B. Wilson,
newspaper route man, in October.
1884, was made In . letter replying to
q suggestion by Mai. Brown that an
assistant United States attorney be as
signed to the Police Department in
homicide cases.
Apparently the claim was based on
the fact one Of Garnett's assistants
obtained tip" from q counterfeiter
at the District Jail that the tri-State
gang had engineered the mistaken
identity" staying. This tip Is said to
have resulted in the arrest Of several
underworld characters and the ques-
tioning of Marie McKeever, friend Of
. tri-State gangster.
The investigation ended in life SEN
tence for three gunmen, John "Slim"
Dunn. Albert s. Sutton and Ernest
W. Myers.
Detectives Commended.
Judge Iindley Sloan, who SEN
fenced the slayers, and other officials
in Maryland, where the trials were
held, commended three Washington
detectives for their work on the case.
They were Lieuts. John Fowler and
Floyd Truscott and Sergt. Earl Hart
man.
Maj. Brown said he would reply to
Garnett's letter shortly. offering to
grant the United States attorneys
counter request that q trained inves-
tigator" be assigned to the District
attorneys ONCE.
Garnett has advised Brown he will
be glad to supply assistant prose-
cutors to aid detectives In investigat-
ing major cases, whenever requested.

Civic Leader Urges Lower Fare
Be Charged on Vehicles
With Single Operator.

Denial that the Public Utilities Com
mission has adopted policy of allow
ing unlimited expansion of one-man
street car usage by the Capital Transit
Co., as suggested yesterday by Peoples
Counsel William A. Roberts, was made
today by two commission members.
Both Riley E. Elgen, chairman, and
Richmond B. Keech, vice chairman.
insisted there was no foundation for
Roberts suggestion, made in COM
menting on the commissions order
permitting the company to convert its
20 new stream-lned cars to one-man
service.
Roberts based his suggestion on this
statement, included by the commission
In its order:
Under existing conditions, any fur.
ther additions to the feet of one-nar
cars should be brought about only
through the acquisition of cars
equivalent or superior to the Presi-
dents Conference car (the new stream
lined cars)."
APpueQ 70 fet1tl0nS.
Elgen and Keech said, first, the
commissions order applied only to the
company petitions which were before
the commission. Secondly, they said.
the true Interpretation of the quoted
remark would be that the commission
had warned the company it would not
approve any petition for the purchase
of secondhand or old-model cars for
additions to the one-man fleet here.
Keech added that experience with
the streamlined cars in one-man op-
Grafton would be given considerable
weight If the company later submit
ted petition for purchase Of modern
new cars, as efficient and fast as the
Presidents conference cars, for pro-
posed extension Of the one-man feet.
Both commission members also de-
clared any future petitions, If and
when they are submitted, would be
considered on the merits Of the par.
ticular case.
Acts Held Limited.
On the point that there are a large
number of street car riders who do
not like one-man cars, Chairman Elgen
said:
I'VE have to act on the fact In q
utilities case. We are q regulatory
body and not legislative body. We
cannot merely deny petition on the
grounds Of public sentiment. Our acts
are limited by the powers given the
commission by Congress"
Meanwhile. civic leaders were con-
sidering whether they should ask Peo-
pies Counsel Roberts to test the de.
cision in court. Among these Is Will
liam NICK. Clayton, chairman of the
Utilities Committee Of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations, which was q
party to the one-man car case.
