with aggravated battery. At the
hospital Stovall said that on enter
ing his home, he found jackson
there and asked his wife to ac-
count for the white mans presence.
While Stovall was reprimandinG
his wife Jackson pulled his gun
and fired three shots, all of which
took effect.
According to Jackson, he had
gone to Stovall's home to try and
persuade the latter's mother-in-
law to return to Belzoni, where he
was to employ her as waitress.
How much truth there is to the
statement has not yet been learned.
However, Jackson fled from the

Actually Jackson has been the
site of three Capitol buildings. The
first statehouse was built in 1922
on the northeast corner OF Presi-

which still stands. today and is
known as the Old Capitol, was
erected at the head of Jackson's

New Control System
To Speed Up Traffic

The District has begun asking
Tor bids to replace traffic light
controls with modern equipment,
which will help speed up traffic, it
was disclosed last night.
John Milton, traffic engineer
for the Department of Vehicles
and Traffic, said the new controls
will make it possible to vary the
sequence of light changes during
different times of the day. He
addressed a meeting of the En-
gineers' Club of Washington, at
1925 E street NV.
Money already has been ap-
propriated for the first year of the
flve-year project, he said. At pres
ent. Mr.. Milton explained, the CO.
ordination of the lights, with few
exceptions" must remain static
during all hours.
Under the new system, it will be
possible to increase or decrease the
time gap between light changes to
speed traffic in the direction of
heaviest movement" which means
usually downtown in the morning,
and out in the evening.
Mr.. Milton, speaking in lieu Of
Traffic Director George E. Keneipp,
reported that traffic in March in
creased 56 per cent over that for
the same month of 1941, and 10
per cent over traffic in March, 1949.
Traffic over the Anacostia River,

$50 Million Bond Sale
By Pepeo Authorized;
PUC 10 Study Details

The Public Utilities Commission
today authorized the Potomac
Electric Power Co. to sell $50 mill
lion in bonds and 710,7O0 shares
of common stock with a $40 par
value.
The financing was approved
subject to further approval of the
terms and conditions of sale.
The commission found that the
company needs additional funds
to finance it's construction pro-
gram.
Refunding of $40 million in first
mortgage 312 per cent bonds as
contemplated will effect a sub
stantial annual saving on the cost
of long-term debt, the commission
said.
The PUG order said also that
repayment of $11 million of bank
loans is necessary to restore the
company's short term borrowing
ability to meet future financial
needs and that the proposed
financing will improve the COM
pany'S capital structure.
1t noted the company's income
is sufficient to support the pro-
posed new securities and that
underwriting of the proposed COM
mon stock issue "is, under the
circumstances, an appropriate
method of inSuring the successful
consumation of this phase of the
pending financing"
The PUG issued its order after
Pepco presented it's case at a
hearing Monday.
