A coroner's jury yesterday held

who Is colored, set fire to some
paper in his home while suffer-
ing from delirium tremens, q
mental disorder associated with
alcohol. The baby was burned
to death. Sturdivant testified he
was trying to destroy bugs. &

to be seen. Such an investigation,
it has been pointed out, would
cost between 100000 and $150, 900
and would require the hiring of
expert accountants, lawyers and
engineers.
Apparently today's action leaves
the early decisions in the hands
of the Kennedy subcommittee.
The Smith resolution said the
subcommittee was to decide what
action should be taken with the
possibility of legislation.
Asked about the nature of the
public hearing, Mr.. Mcmillan
said the first witnesses probably
would be officials Of the. Public
Utilities Commission and the
transit company.
j. A. B. Broadwater, president
OF the company, has expressed his
willingness to appear as a wit
ness. He said he would be avail
able to explain everything about
his company"
Speech Viewed as Challenge.
This followed a speech by Mr..
lBroadwater. in which he had de-
Iclared that unless the firm was
allowed to make higher profits
the city should take it over.
This speech was viewed by Mr..
Patterson as an ultimatum and a
challenge to Congress. In a state
ment February 20, he declared
"the challenge should be met by
both the United States Congress
and the District Commissioners. y
The House committee members
during their closed session also
discussed other pending legislation
relating to Capital Transit, Mr..
Macmillan disclosed.
One would call for an investiga-
ton by the ICC into all passenger
