conversation with a passenger.
That was prohibited" he said
I'VE had to stay, outside the car
except when we collected fares. One
night I stopped for moment to
chat with passenger, when an in
spector-who was off duty and on
his way to see his girl-spotted me.
I was suspended for two weeks"
But he proudly asserted that was
his only suspension. He is now
| the Oldest active division superin-
tendent.
Mr. Davis reported his salary in
those days was $1.60 for an 11-hour
day.
But with steak at IS cents a
pound, that wasn't too bad" he
said.
The superintendent disputed the
idea that women were fragile and
helpless in the last century.
Some of them used to get yery
put out because we stopped to pick
them up" he laughed. "They pre-
|ferred to swing on board while the
car was still in motion"
For brief time, he was conductor
Of one of the 80 double-decker elec-
trio cars In operation on the line to
the Soldiers Home. These vehicles
were all destroyed by fire a short
time after they were purchased.
An alumnus of the old Rock Creek
Railroad was William H. Sparshott,
So, of 3539 s street NV. He started
|railroading at the age of 16 as a
blacksmith's helper.
Now the superintendent Of the
Northern Car House, Fourteenth
and Decatur streets NV, he helped
in the installation of cables for the
old cable cars. He was encouraged
to enter the traction business by
his father, who drove a team of
horses for the Washington and
Georgetown line.
Although entertainment was sched-
uled after the banquet, many of the
older members left with waiting
relatives after Ernest E. Boyd

was elected to succeed j. Edward
Heberle. vice president and comp
troller, as president of the club.

The question of horse car trans

cussed last night but only in retro

Principal figures at the seminar
were the dozen present or former
employees of the Capital Transit Co.
whose so or more years Of service

the second annual banquet of the
company's Quarter Century Club
More than 600 other employees
with service records of Is years or
more crowded the main ballroom
of the Mayflower Hotel to elect new
officers Of the club and recall the
transportation problems of an
earlier era.
Oldest member present was Ben
jamin Solari, 88, retired Indian
fighter whose greatest battle" was
waged against newsmen who tried
to interview the jailed assassin Of
President Garfield.
Mr.. Solari, who lives at 4733 Ninth
street NV, recalled how he was
guarding the District jail the night
the President died. As the bells
tolled throughout the city, he no.
ticed several buggy-loads Of report
ers approaching the guardhouse.
II told them to stop, but they
didn't" he said. 80 as they came
closer, I lifted my gun and said I'd
fire. They stopped"
He started driving a horse car
for the old Washington and George
town Railroad after a spell of In
dian fighting in Wyoming, during
which he helped bury the bones OF
Gen. Custer and his ill-fated troops.
For several years he piloted a one
horse car from the Capitol down
Pennsylvania avenue to Nineteenth
street NV.
Unlike Montgomery Davis, u, of
912 Girard street NE, who has So

Mr.. Solari was lone Grew mem

II collected the fares and drove
the horse, too," Mr.. Solari said. He
intimated some Of the other men

Fingerprints on Car Aid
In Probing Fatal Blast
By the Assoeiofsd Press


ETOWAH, Tenn, Oct. 4.-Finger-
prints were found today on the
hood Of the car in which T. Bur-
kett WINS, prominent McMinn
County political figure, was mangled
and killed here yesterday In a mys-
terious explosion.
IF the fingerprints and wires that
were attached to the explosive don't
lead to something, this murder is
going to be tough" Sheriff Knox
Henry said, theorizing: 1T might be
an outside job"
The FBI joined city and county
police today in investigating the
blast that killed 65-year-old WINS,
lieutenant in the Paul Cantrell
political organization which was
ousted in a bullet-ridden election in
August, 1916.
Sheriff Henry said he asked the
FBI to lift the flngerprints and
make an effort to determine what
kind of explosive was used.
The terrific explosion occurred
when WINS stepped on the starter
Of his car In his garage. Danny
his 5-year-old grandson, was In
jured.
WINS was scheduled to go on
trial at nearby Athens Monday for

United States Attorney George
Morris Fay and the Police Depart
ment will argue for what police and
prosecutors agree is the. first step
toward making the streets OF Wash
ington safer-a law making it pos

Right now, the loophole in the
firearms law is so broad that men
known to be carrying pistols can't be
arrested without warrant.
Streetcar Killing.
Not long ago, police recall, man
was carrying a pistol on streetcar.
Somebody stepped on his foot. The
man pulled out his pistol and started
shooting. A passenger was killed.
If a policeman had noticed the
suspicious bulge in the mans pocket
he couldn't have arrested the man
and made the case stand up in court
warrant.
That's what a bill introduced by
Hebert, Democrat, of
Louisiana seeks to correct. Hearings

u. ). Probes Increase
In Price Of Gasoline;
Fuel Oil, Kerosene Up.

A Justice Department spokesman
disclosed today that the Antitrust
Division was investigating recent
complaints of rising gasoline prices.
This development followed anoth-
sr price increase in gasoline In
Washington. Effective this morning.
the retail price rose cent a gallon.
At the same time, oil companies in
creased the price of kerosene seven
tenths of cent and fuel oil, eight
tenths of a cent.
The Justice Department spokes-
man would not elaborate: on the
investigation other than to say the
study covered the situation in all
parts of the country, and that 1t
had been under way for several
months.
Industry sources attributed the
latest increases to rise in the price
of crude oil. This rise began last
week in the West and then spread
East
A spokesman for Standard Oil Co.
of New Jersey in New York said
major factor in the crude Oil IN

r. A. Herrick, executive director of
the Retail Gasoline Dealers, Inc,

Similar increases went into effect

steel production were to rise much
above rs million tons year.
Why, say the French, must the
Germans make this steel anyway?
What is the matter with us? We
have the iron and Germany has
the coal. Why should we send them
iron so they can make steel? Why
should not they send us the coal?
If Germany needs more steel than
she is allowed to make, says Mr..
Bidault, France can send it to her.
In this way there will be no danger
of Germany's once again converting
her industrial plant into war ma
chine.
There is an answer, to the French
questions of course-one known to
every steel man. Except under spe-
cial conditions which do not exist
in this case, it is totally uneconomic
to make steel by moving coal to
iron rather than by moving iron
to coal. Transportation costs are
about twice as high that way. That
is why, in the United States, steel
mills are not found next to iron
mines.
Bidault Makes Strong Fight.
Mr.. Bidault is making a strong
fight here for the coal France needs.
He has told his colleagues in effect
that France will agree to nothing
not to a new level of industry, eco
nomic unity of the occupation zones
or even to reparations-until it is
agreed a coal clause goes in the
German treaty.
Frances concern over her security
problem is also extreme. Mr..
Bidault made that dramatically
clear in his argument last Saturday
for decreasing Germany's popula-
tion through encouragement of
emigration.
This argument, of course, has its
bearing on the economic problem,
too. Somewhat wistfully, Mr..
Bidault reverted to it yesterday.
Perhaps after all Germany could
send coal to France, balance her i'm
ports with exports, pay reparations
and still maintain a decent stand
ard of living for her people-if she
had less people to maintain 1t for.

The constabulary does not plan to|
look behind each bush along the

cally because "the theater COM
mander expects his orders to be car
ried out" Col. Eyster said.
He revealed that the traditional
diplomatic immunity given to rep
resentatives of the American State
Department here and to diplomats
of other countries will create wet
embassy situation similar to that
prevailing in Washington during
prohibition days. As Embassy invi-
tationss were sought after then by
Americans weary of 3.2 beer, invita-

cent-below Mr.. Truman's budget

However, except for one large item,

cut of $37, 300 below the budget, and
$500, 1893 900 for the railroad retire

Veto Power Given in Effect.
Mr.. Warren and approximately
100 executives and employees Of the
Cancellation Service were covered
in a provision Of the bill denying
any. funds to pay the salaries Of
their offices. Since the provision
withheld salaries for the jobs-not
the individuals holding them-its
effect is to give the Appropriations
Committee a veto power over any
one who may be appointed to sue
ceed them.
Before Mr.. Warren's successor
could draw pay, the committee would
have to approve deficiency appro-
priation, and members indicated
