ALY HEARNG - ON CAR FARES House Subcommittee Scores Utility ‘Commission “for Not Taking Action. . An early hearing by the Public Ttilities Commission on the subject of street car fares in Washington seems assured jn the light of statements made at a hearing last evening before the, House District committee's spe- clal sub-committee which had the Public Utilities Commission, accom- panied by the corporation counsel, be- Iore it. For several hours the Public Utili- ties Commission, with Chairman Kutz s spokesman. was kept under a rapid fire of criticism as to its interpreta- «tiggt of the law, mostly from Repre- ntative Kynz of Illinois and Repre- sentative Hammer of North Carolina. Representative Kunz demanded that there should be a separate rate of fare on the Capital Traction Company, and asked Commissioner Kutz oing to act or leave it to Con- Eress to step in and pass a law re- ducing street car fares?’ Represen: tative Hammer said that a new public utilities commission should be estab- lished. Earlier Meeting Likely. As the result of the meeting last might it is probable that a hearing will be held this month rather than m°August, as previously contemplated by the utilities commission, to de- termine Whether thete-shall be a re- vision of street car fare. Commis- sioner Kutz promised that at the mnext meeting of the commission (the] next regular meeting is Thursday) they would take up-the question of whether a hearing should be held now or two or three weeks before | Manager Craw has advertised fer a pianist that kin play fever an’ ague music fer “East Lynne,” 1at Melodeon Hall, t'night. (Copyright National Newspaper Service.) ' the law” was the defense of Commis- sioner Kutz. Commissioner Kutz said (uat if a separate fare was ordered for the Capital Traction Company there would have to be a separate de- ermination of the fair rate of re- urn for six other street railway corporations. Members of the com- mittee thought that was in accord- ance with the intent of the law— to give a fair return to each based on its valuation. The hearing last night resulted from the testimony yesterday of Willlam McK. Clayton, counsel for the Fed- eration of Citizens' Associations. the expiration of the time limit. pre- viously decided upon for the present The commission, is understood, will give serious consideration to an immediate reduction to 7 cents straight or five tokens for 35 cents on both lines. 2 The law requires that a public hear- ing be held before changing rates and a ten-day notice must be given be- fore such a hearing. i When the existing rate of fare w renewed in March it was slated to re- main in effect until September. The commission’s order. however, closes with the words “or until otherwise ordered.” which gives the commission the right to reopen the question be- fore September. A petition from the Federation of Citizens' Associations, asking for a hearing to consider a reduction in fire on the Capital Traction lines, is pending before the commission. It is Ppractically certain, however, that if the commission decides to cut the fare at this time it will adhere to its fixed policy of maintaining the same rate ©on both systems. Commissioner Kutz gave the com- mittee figures, based on the street car business of last vear. which Showed that a fare of five tickets for 35 cents or 7 cents straight would yield 6.04 per cent on the valuation -of the two companies taken as one. He thought that this was the low- est fare that could be established under the law. Members of the House committee differed emphatically with him on that point. They insisted that the lJaw does not provide for fixing fare on the joint valuation, but a fair re- turn to each company on its individual valuation. Commissioner Kutz said the Commissioners did not look on it in_that light. “Well, then, that is probably what is the "trouble with the street car situation in Washington,” rejoined Representative Kunz. He stated his belief that the Public Utilities Com- mission was protecting the Washing- ton Railway and Electric Company. Acting Within the Law. Commissioner Kutz argued that in its interpretation, the commission was acting by advice of the corpora- tion counsel, and considered itself well within the law. He said that if a lower fare was set for the Capital Traction Company it would create a far worse_situation for the car riders, but the members of the committee showed plainly, by words and actions, that they did not agree with the com- mission in_thiiline of thought. “In the interests of justice and within SPECIAL NOTICES.

Members of the House immigration committee and officials of the De- partment of Labor attempted yester- day to untangle the first difficulty under the percentage immigration law, resulting from jmmigrants num.- bering about 8,000 arriving at various points in excess of the quotas for June. Conferences between Secretary Davis, legal advisers of the Depart- ment of Labor and the Attorney General confirmed the opinion pre- viously held by Assistant Secretary of Labor Henning that the Secretary of Labor has authority to admit the ex- cess immigrants under bond and charge them egainst the quota for the fiscal year, it was said at the Depart. ment of Labor. This procedure, how- ever, immigration officials said, is a precedent the department desires to set only as a last expedient. The resolution introduced in Con- gress by Chairman Johnson of the House immigration committee pro- posing to admit the immigrants is to be changed, Secretary Davis said, after conferences between Department of Labor officials and Chairman Johnson, by insertion of a provision to allow the June excess to be charged to the fiscal year's quota. The resolution was discussed by the House immigration committee, but no conclusion was reached as to whether its passage was advisable. —_— WATCHMAN ASKS DAMAGES. Robert M. Baker, & private watch- man, filed suit in the District Supreme Court to recover $50,000 damages from the Kloman Instrument Com- pany and Walter C. Kloman for al- leged false arrest and slander. While employed in watching the store of the defendpnt company with other places Baker says the defendants accused him of breaking into the company’s store May 7 last. The charge was dismissed and Baker says his name and reputation has suffered. He is represented by Attorney F. L. Neubeck. S SPECIAL NOTICES.

Northwest Suburban Association ag | Nort Schools Held to Be Do- # ing Vast Good. ‘- Marked Improvement has been showsr in the health and physical conditioh of chfldren who have at- tented classes at the special nutri- tion and Mygiene clinics in six public schools, according to Dr. Joseph A. Murphy, supervising medical in- spector of theischools. These cHglcs, which have been operated as: an ‘ex periment since the latter part of Feb: ruary, are located at tie Thomson, Blake, Hamllton, Harrison, Steven: and Miner Normal schools. Children in the: schools were weighed and measured, and those found to be 10 per cent or more un derweight were invited to attend the nutrition and hygiene classes. Meet- ings of the classes were held week- 1y, and the medical inspectors exam- ined the pupils and explained to them how to correct their physical de- fects. A chart was kept indicating the improvement of {ndividual mem- bers of the class. Third of Pupils Underweight. A special nutrition study of chil- dren in the graded schools was made last year by the medical inspectors and nurses, and it was ascertained that nearly one-third of. the pupils were 10 per cent or more under- weight. . “The child underweight from seven to ten pounds or more,” said Dr. Mur- phy today, “is because it has some physical defect or defects’/or other causes. Underweight children can be found in all types of homes. They can only be brought up to par by adopting proper health habits and by correcting their defects. Children of normal weight are much healthier and happier thar those underweight.” Need of Scales in School.' Dr. Murphy emphasized the need of scales in every school so,that the chil- dren could be weighed and measured quarterly, and a report sent to their parents showing their actual weight and the amount they should weigh. It is the hope of Dr. Murphy to open the speclal nutrition and hygiene classes next fall in about six other schools. Lack of funds, he indicated, would make it impossible to organize the clinics in all of the schools. A prize of $5 will be awarded the pupil in ‘the nutrition class at the Thomson School who has shown the greatest improvement in physical condition at exercises at the school ‘Wednesday at noon. Dr. Murphy will present the prize. FOOD INSPECTORS TO WAR ON FLIES IN THE MARKETS Health Officer Plans Campaign. ‘Wants Householder to Do His Share. The food inspection force of the health department will take an ac- tive part this summer in the cam- paign launched by Health Officer Fowler to exterminate the fly. ‘The food inspectors will make war on the flies that inhabit the city mar- kets. They have been instructed to see that all market dealers provide some means of keeping the pests from lighting on meats, vegetables or other foods exposed on counters. ‘These safeguards, Dr. Fowler sald, must be taken in grocery stores as well as in the markets. Dr. Fowler said he does not believe there are many public breeding places for flies in the District and that the bulk of the fight rests on each householder to make war on these germ-carriers in and around the house. An uneovm;d [lrb‘l": pail o; asy wrapping paper left uncovere o the trasn haske; make fertile breeding spots for the house fly, he said. Another effective measure, he con- tinued, is to keep the kitchen free from exposed scraps of food.

As yet the full consequences of the war have not been brought horhe to us, but the German people must suf- fer so tremendously from it that I long for nothing more than to be able to return to the fatherland as a plain citizen and help in the work of re- construction.” In these words Frederick William, former crown prince of Germany, ex- pressed his innermost feelings to me in an interview I had with him in his exile on Wierengen Island. His usually smiling face was seri- ous and rather pale, in keeping with the crepe band he wore around his left arm. He had on the clothes wrich he usually wears when working— sporting jacket and breeches, ordinary puttees and low tan shoes. The writer had seen him for a few moments in the workshop of Jan Luyd, the smith ‘who Is his master, and Fad then gone to the other side of the island to wait for him at the house of his good friend, Mijnheer Caumou, architect for the Dutch government. on Wieringen is a tremendous lot of good, d M.
