told we must lay down our lives to

Transit Power Failure
Blocks Traffic for Hour

A power failure on the Mount
Pleasant streetcar line tied up rush
hour traffic for nearly an hour yes
terday.
Loaded streetcars of this line
came to a standstill one behind an
other in a succession extending back
along F street from the spot where
a conductor bar beneath the street
level burned out, at Seventeenth and
H streets NV
This tie-up in turn obstructed the
Fourteenth street car line. holding
up traffic down to and along Penn
Sylvania avenue.
Only few buses were available
to ease the emergency, and many
passengers were forced to walk. Of
ficials of the Capital Transit Co.
said the current was off for % min
utes, beginning at pm, but 40
minutes were taken to get the jam
broken
Automobile traffic was hindered by
the lineup, and the resulting auto
tangles later slowed streetcar move
ment, streetcar officials said.

W.P. A. Rent Increase
Figure Applies Only
To Vacant Units
Labor Statistics Dutu
Indicate Overall
Boost Is Much Lower

Although the w. P. A. housing
survey made public yesterday re-
ported 13 per cent increase since
January in the average monthly
rental asked for vacant dwelling
units. the survey did not include
rentals of occupied dwellings and
should not be viewed as giving a
complete picture of rental costs
here, it was pointed out today.
The sample survey conducted by
w. P. A. was primarily concerned
with determining the percentage of
unoccupied dwellings available for
immediate occupancy, as we'll as the
change in rentals asked for vacant
units since last January, when w.
P. A. made it's first local housing
survey.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics.
in report last month on a sample
survey of rentals in both occupied
and unoccupied units, reported an
increase of six-tenths of l per
cent in the average monthly rental
asked in Washington between June
IS and September Is.
The w. P. A. survey showed the
average monthly rental for vacan-
cies in the District is $3.50, as
compared with an average of $50
last January. Fol- white vacancies,
tho ovarooo ronto1 uyoc eS7 IN il, m
tober; for colored vacancies, the
average was $35.
The survey also disclosed that the
average rent asked for habitable
vacancies in the combined area of
the District and nearby Virginia
and Maryland is $3.50. The av-
erage for last January was $50 for
the combined area-the same as for
the District proper.

In Assault Case Face
Kidnapping Charge TrioI

The Government proposes to ask
the death penalty when Francis j.
Mulvey, %. and Albert M. Farmer,
%, go on trial in District Court De-
cember 8. under an indictment
charging them with kidnapping a
young Washington woman and TAX
ing her to nearby Maryland
The way was cleared for this yes
terday, when Justice James w
Morris threw out a defense plea of
double jeopardy and ruled that the
death penalty might be requested
The jurist held that if the jury
recommends the death penalty the
defense can show, in mitigation
that the alleged victim was freed
unharmed.
Justice Morris decided also that
the crime of kidnapping can be
established, although Farmer and
Mulvey were freed of a charge of
criminal assault by District Court
jury some time ago. growing out of
the same circumstances and involv-
ing the same woman. II the Gov

fense had challenged this. Farmer
and Mulvey are accused of taking
the young Washington matron into
their automobile against her will
and robbing her. as we'll as crimi-
nally assaulting her, in Maryland,
on September IA of last year.
When the kidnapping case was
about to 60 to trial a short time ago.

defendants were placed in peril of
their lives in the criminal assault
case. for which the death penalty
was asked as was being done in the
