Firms File Answer
10 BondhoIders' Suit
On Street Railway
Contend PIointiffs Fail
To Comply With
leaoI Procedure

Contending that complaining
bondholders Of . defunct street rail-
way here are out Of courts because
they have failed to comply With the
conditions precedent to bringing q
suit, the Capital Transit CO. and
the Washington Railway Il Electric
Co. yesterday filed in District Court
answers to the action against them,
asking that 1t be dismissed.
David Fisher, 1879 Columbia road
NV, and Emma c. Dwight, 723
Fifteenth street NV, brought suit
naming the two local firms, Is we'll
as the Baltimore National Bank of
Baltimore, to insure payment of the
money. In its answer, the Capital
Transit Co. denied the right Of the
plaintiffs to bring this action Is
holders and owners Of certain S
per cent bonds Of the defllnct City
Suburban Railway Co. Of WASH
ington, either for the benefit Of
themselves or for the protection and
benefit of all other bondholders.
The assets Of Suburban were taken
over by the Washington Railway 6s
Electric Co.
The Capital Transit Co. told the
court that 80 days notice In writing
must first be given to the. trustee,
alleging that default has occurred.
This defendant said that no default
has occurred in the payment of
principal or interest on the bonds
or otherwise and claims that no
such notice, as is required, has been
given, nor have other conditions
precedent to such action OF cause
Of action for the enforcement Of
any rights under the mortgage deed
Of trust been complied with.
The answer points out that for
many years the merger or unifica-
ton Of the street railway lines, in
cluded in the separate systems of
the Capital Traction Co. and the
Washington Railway ds Electric Co..
which latter included the lines for
merly owned and operated by Su-
burban, had been sought, proposed
and advocated by the public and
press of Washington, the Public
Utilities Commission of the District
of Columbia and the street railway
companies, for the purpose of short
ening routes, improving service and
effecting economies Of operation;
and by the companies individually
and particularly for the purpose and
with the intention Of improving net
income from such operations.
The answer Of the Capital Tran
sit Co. points out to the court that
Congress authorized the merger of
the street railway lines here.
The Washington Railway e. Eiec-
trio Co.'S answer told the tribunal
that the plaintiffs ask relief to
which they are not entitled, If it
were within the jurisdiction of this
court to grant. This company also
says there has been no default on
payment Of interest on the bonds
or otherwise, and 50 holds the action
prematurely brought.

fight. He had been whipped, soundly
whipped by Yowler. He had turned
tail and run away. More than that
he had been only too glad to get
away. He, had met more than his
match and he knew 1t.
"And to think 1t was q cat that did
It," he kept saying over and over to
himself. I've been whipped by q
cat and been forced to run away.
Ho wcan I ever look any one In the
face again? If Black Pussy should
ever hear Of this never would
hear the end Of it." You know Black
Pussy is Farmer Browns cat, and
while she and Bowser are not ex-
actly friends. they live together In
peace.
SO Bowser whimpered and whined
as he limped along through the
Green Forest toward home. He
got there just about milking time
and no one was In sight, much to his
relief. A perfect picture Of shame,
Bowser sneaked across the dooryard
and crept into his little house.. No
one had seen him and he hoped that
no one would until he felt better.
But Bowser's hopes were all In
vain. BY and by Farmer Browns

Bowser the Hound whimpered this
over and over as he made his way
home through the Green Forest. At
drst he ran as fast as his legs could
take him, but when he was sure that
Yowler the Bobcat was no longer
chasing him he stopped to lick his
wounds. When he had done this he
started on again, but he no longer
ran. The truth Is he felt too sti6 and
sore to run. He smarted and ached
all over. He limped. Yowler had
caught one Of his feet in those sharp
teeth Of his and it hurt to put that
foot to the ground.
And II Bowser was sore in body he

Thereafter quasi-public industrial

Congress Session Ends

Congress SessIon Ends
THE Seventy Fifth congress
L brought its labors to a close and
adjourned, thanked by President
Roosevelt for the constructive legis.
lation it had enacted. In its one
special and two regular sessions
this congress set a peace time rec
ord by appropriating more than 20
billion dollars.
Almost at the last moment the
334 billion dollar relief and pump
printing bill was enacted into law.
The house accepted senate
amendment boosting the appropri-
alton for administrative expenses
of the Rural Electrification admins
tration from $500, 900 to $3.50, 900.
Agreement was reached on the
300 million dollar second deficiency
bill when the senate concurred in
the action of the house in knock
ing out $325 900 to purchase addi-
tional land for the Lake Tahoe Ma
tional park and $1,300,000 for for
estry.
Both senate and house repassed
over the Presidents veto the bill
continuing the 311 per cent interest
on Federal Land bank loans on farm
mortgages.
Scores of bills of varying degrees
of importance were lost in the con-
fusion of the last hours of the ses-
sion. Among them was the bill
authorizing federal law enforcement
officers to tap wires to get evidence
of violations of law.
The relief and pump printing law
as enacted includes one billion 425
million dollars for the Works Prog
ress administration for a period of
eight months, beginning July /; IT'S
million dollars for the Farm Secur-
ity administration; IS million dol
lars for the National Youth admin
istration, and 965 million dollars for
the Public Works administration. It
authorizes the PWA to lend up to
400 million dollars from the sale of
securities pledged for previous PWA
loans. It increases the lending limit
of the United States Housing au-
thority for low cost housing from
500 million to 300 million dollars.
It appropriates 212 million dollars
for additional price adjustment"
subsidies to farmers.

Great Floods in China

pOURING through broken bikes,
the waters of the Yellow river
inundated many hundreds of square
miles in central China. In the first
two or three days of the great food
it was estimated 10000 Chinese
were drowned and several times as
many rendered homeless. Millions
of others were threatened by the
swirling waters. The fate of thou
sands of japanese soldiers in the
area was not known but it was
thought many of them must have
persisted.
Far from the war and flood fronts,

fcially declared cholera to be cpl

of them originating in foreign-ad-

the demand sharply. Further
more, he at once planned an in
spection trip up the Yangtze and
through the war zone, and he did
not ask Japan's permission.
These three principles" of Amer

tiers were set forth by Admiral Var

The United States navy will re-
tain complete freedom of movement

any place where Americans are in
danger.
The American command will not
change the color of its warships,
which are painted white, to conform
to any color scheme suggested by
the Japanese.
