CAR LINES (Continued from First Page.) inflate v-ith fictitious value the water- ed securities. “The result—which is the condition with which you gentlemen have to deal today—is the existence in the District of one well built, economi- cally managed, exceedingly valuable street railway—the Capital Traction —and one less well built, less valu- able, with a long past history of un- 1 management—the Wash- ington Railway and Electric. And on | top of those conditions. fate has given the well built and well managed sys- tem a naturally profitable territo through which to run. and the less well built. more over-capitalized em a relatively unprofitable terri- v through which to run. “Before considering my suggestion for public ownership 1 ask_you to consider for a moment the District's to street railways as a whole. If all hese lines were merged into one stem the highly profitable lines of the Capital Traction could carry the unprofitable lines of the Wash- ington Railway and Electric at. I be- lieve. a reduced fare throughout the P whole area. “But the Capital Traction is a pri- vate corporation. and it cannot be compelled to turn over part of its profits to the Washington Railway and Electric to make up losses on the Washington Railway and Elec- tric system. Thinks Voluntary Merger Unlikely. “I have become convinced, there- fore. that a merger of the two com- panies by their two private owners is extremely unlikely—I think im possible. I am equally firmly con- vinced that the only solution of the present situation is to utilize th profits of the Capital Traction lin to offset the losses of the Washing- ton Railway and Electric. This. how ever. cannot be done while the lines remain in private ownership, which brings . me to the practical conclu- sion 1 mentioned at the beginning: THat the only solution is for the government to take over both prop erties, and merge them as one sys- tem under government owenrship, after which they could be operated by the government or leased to a private operating company, accord- ing as one or the other methods seemed best at the time.” FIGHT OPPONENTS GETNEW REBUE Go Before Grand Jury, But Prosecu*or Will Demand More Evidence.

SENATORS PROTECT MEN WHO TESTIFY Witness Tells Committee of Warning He Received in Quaker City. The Senate committee investigating government agencies caring for veter- ans of the world war yesterday took steps to protect any employe of these agencies who may appear before the committee and give evidence.

Chris- tian, private secretary to President Harding.

Dr. Hadwen, who is delivering a course of lectures in this country, told the committee that it is impos- ! sible for the operators on animals to tell whether the animais are in pain or not. He said that the nervous tem of animals is as highly de- veloped as that of man. Dr. Hadwen pointed out that a dog’s hearing is far more acute than that of man, and that the sight and sense of smell of animals is also more acute. From this he argued that physicians have no right to say that the sense of pain in animals is 4 iless acute than in human beings. Questioned at Length.
