In addtiion to the petitions of the gas and transfer companies, applica- tions are pending from the-Potomac Electric Power Company, the Wash- | ington Railway and Electric Company ! and the Capital Tratcion Company. It is doubtful if any past commis- sion has had so big a work sheet to face witkin the short period of twenty ; days. The street car rate hearing is slated for 10 o'clock on March 16. The electric light rate hearing will be held at 10 o'clock on March 19. Col. Kutz probably will not fix a date for hearing on the transfer com- pany’s_petition until the new board takes - ‘'office. The transfer company tells the commission that if its rates go down on April 1 to those in ex- istence prior to last September the company will not be able to earn a fair retuin on the value of its prop- erty.

Nation After Patronage. On the other hand the attack on the presidential patronage outside of the District is assuming tremendous pro- portions. It.is growing greater and more . intense. with each succeeding day, until the point: has been reached { that ‘more than 90 per cent of Presi- dent Harding's day's work is taken up with hearing candidacies for high- er positions which he can fill. Mexican Appointment Unconfirmed. The appointment of R. B. Creager, a prominent lawyer of Brownsville, Tex., who was host to Mr. and Mrs. | Harding during their stay at Point Isobel, following the election, to be mored, is purely speculative, accord- ing to_information received at the White House today. Those in a po- sition to know say that the President has not given any serious attention 0 the appointment of a representa- tive in Mexico. Such an appointment is not to be looked for for some time, at any rate not until the government jof Mexico has been recognized and the relations between the two coun- | tries have been placed on a dierent basis. Rumors regarding this appointment include also the names of Col. James Ddrden of New York, North Carolina and Washington, D. C., and Col. Mel- ville Gillette of Pennsylvania. T. A. Lancaster, an attorney of Lex- ington, Tenm., is being urged by rominent republicans from that state or appointment to a vacant United States judgeship in that state. He was introduced to the President by Representative Lon Scott and H. Clay former commissioner of pen- PEACE PARLEY STOPS.

One section which is proving a reg- ular “article X" to the average motor- ist is that which sys no person shall Jeave a car standing in the street without locking the lever, throttle or switch by which the car is started. This section further provides “that the locking of wheels of automobiles so as to prevent the same from being readily moved in case of emergency is hereby prohibited.” District officials, when asked to in- terpret this language today, said it is not intended to prohibit the “spike” Used by motorists on one wheel of the | ar. But it was said the object of this clause was to make it possible for the police to move cars a short distance when the necessity arises. A lawyer called attefition today to the wording of another section, which says: “No driver shall permit his ve- hicle to pass or approach within fifteen feet of any street car headed in the same direction and which has stopped or is about to stop for the purpose of car owners alread® are begin-| ~(Contin T New Traffic Rules Require “Reservations™ taking on or letting off passes This man said there are places like Delaware avenue and B street, where street car tracks are laid close to the south curb of B street and where a motorist going east on B street might pass a west-bound car. He pointed out that the words “car headed in the same direction’” might cause a question to be raised as 1o whether the regulation applied at that location. The elimination of the quoted words, it was stated, would make it a tiolation to approach within fifteen feet of any car. There is one section of the new regulations which, in addition topre- venting rear-end collisions between machines, will give operators good muscular exercise. It provides, as follows: ‘A driver intending to turn left shall extend his arm in & horizontal position and slow down. Fine Physical Training. “A driver intending to turn to the right shall slow down, drive as nj right-hand curb as possible and ex- tend arm with the forearm raised at right angles. . “A driver intending to stop his vehicle shall extend his arm-and move it up and down in & direction.” 3 Motormen of street cars also are ' given an opportunity for calisthenics by a clause which says “he shall indi- cate by an unmistakable wave of his hand” whether approaching pedes- trians or vehicles may pass safely in front of the car at an intersec- tion. Printed copies of the regulations are not yet available at the District building, but they were printed in full in an advertisement in The Star om. March 2.
