The tiller wds used to beach the vessel in seven feet of raging waters. No boats were able to approach the dis- abled craft because of the swiftness of the current.

Later in his argument Mr. Clayton advocated intercompany transfers without charge. President Ham of the W. R. and E. interrupted Mr. Clayton with this query: “How can you urge that these two companies be dealt with separately and in the same breath suggest that they should exchange free transfers?” Mr. Clayton meplied that he would not regard the transfers as “free,” de- claring that he feels the people are on either system. Wage Quest Robert E. Jansen of the Interna- tional Association of Machinists urged the commission to reduce the rate of fare. declaring that it'is time for the corporations of the country to share in the reductions which labor is being compelled to take in the after-war readjustment. Attorney Bowen for the Washing- ton Railway and Electric, asked Mr. Jansen if he was arguing for a re- duction in the pay of street car em ployes. Mr. Jansen replied that he was not, whereupon Mr. Bowen asked him how he could suggest that the company could make up the loss resulting from a cut in fare. Mrs. Mary Wright Johnson, repre- senting the District Federation of Women's Clubs, who followed Mr. Jansen, suggested that if the Wash- ington Railway and Electric finds it cannot earn a fair return, tht higher officers of the company should accept a reduction in salaries rather than the platform men. Mra, Johnson said her organization feels that the commission would ex- ceed its authority if it allowed one| of the companies a rate of fare that yielded more than the return fixed by the commission as reasonable. If the commission decides now that it violated the law in giving the Capi- tal Traction Company its present rate | of fare, a reduction should be or- dered immediately, and not on Sep- tember 1, when the existing order expires, Mrs. Johnson testified. Evan H. Tucker, president of the | Northeast Washington Citizens' As- soclation, said his organization does! not feel the commission violated the law in keeping the rate of fare uni form on both systems. His organiza tion, he sald, Is not in_favor of a| zone system of fares. He said his| people do favor a merger of the Po. tomac Electrirc Power and the Wash ington Rallway and Electric Com-{ pany as the first step foward a merger of the two street railway companies. His people, he continued, want a reduction in the uniform rate of | fare if it can be done. Charles T.

He also spoke in_opposition to & merger of the Potomac Blectric Power Company and the Washington Rallway and Electric Brookland Against Zones. Edward W.

If such he said, the people who ride on W. R. and E. cars will be paving less than they should pay for the service rendered. George A. Ward declared he would favor Comn. sioner Oyster's solution of increasing the electric light rate and reducing car fares, provided that would not yield more than a reason- able return to the W. R. and E. and the P. E. P. Co. He advocated a receivership for the W.

PLAY STENEFDS. I SPECIL PLEA Emergency Program Being Planned for Presentation to Congress. Washington's urgent playgrounds need will be provided for in a special recommendation to be presented to Congress, probably at this session. if 2 plan suggested at a meeting last night of the executive committee of {the newly formed united pluygrounds committee finally adopted. It was the sense of the Congress should be asked now only for those needs pressing, which was the plan fol- lowed with respect to school develop- ment. A policy for future playgrounds development should be worked out jcarefully and presented later, it was agreed. Emergency Program Likely. There is a possibility of the emer- gency program being worked out in time to permit of its presentation to the House District committee at this session. It was pointed out that, junder the new House rules. it would be impossible to get items in the xnnpmprla!ion bill for purchase sites ~ for playgrounds unt is to provide izing the purchase of sitcs. In other words, the House District committee would have to report out a authorizing the purchase of {groumis sites and Congress play- would Arines. {have to pass it before it would be possible to get the House appropria- tions committee to provide the pur- chase money. 'hen the executive committe. of man, met last night in the hall at 1357 New York avenue. it was the committee’s idea it would formulate la development program for presenta- tion to the District Commissioners for consideration by them in connec- tion with the framing of the next District budget. ~ Fred G. Coldren | jpointed out to the committee what ! he termed the hopelessness of this plan. He said the first thing to be accomplished is to get Congress com- mitted to a playgrounds development,| program. Mr. Coldren said a recom- | mendation ~ in_the Commissioners’ | budget for purchase of sites would accomplish nothing until Congress, in a measure other than the appropri: tion bill, has authorized the improv. ments desired. Committee to Be Named. Mr. Coldren’s statement as to the | | perts and to recommend immediately be considered by a subcommittee on program, which will be named in the next day or two. i Should the proposed legislation be recommended but not acted upon by Congress by the time the budget is framed, it would be in order for the | Commissioners to send a supple- mental estimate for playgrounds to | Congress later, it was pointed out, in {¢he event Conkress approved the de- ve 1 lopment plan in a Separate mea: e = Mrs. Swanton, who, also is chair- man of the general committee, was tructed to program committee.

Questions calling for early determi- nation by :ih. federal authorities ir connection with the proposed inter- national conference on limitation of armament and far-eastern and Pa- cific affairs are the selection of a suitable building or hall for the meetings of the delegates and the procurement of hotel or other living accommodations for them and their numerous technical and clerical as- Isistants.

Buildings Available. Although the question of a place of meeting_is still in abeyance, officials approached on the matter say that there will be no trouble on that score, as there are several buildings avail- able that easily can be made suitable on short nctice. In that category were mentioned the Pan-American building, at 17th and B streets, and its neigh Daughters of the American Revolu- tion. Both are beautiful marble build- {ings, and taken together might [fora’ all the space required for the [meetings of the conference 3 and also for the meetings of the vari- ous working committees to be ap- pointed in connection therewith.

It s said that ihere are seating accommodations for {about 1,500 persons in the hall of the Daughters’ building. Both buildings have been used be- fore for important international a semblages, and no difficulty is appre- hended in obtaining the use of them for the coming armament conference in case they are wanted. It has been suggested that the Pan-American { building might be used as the general iheadquarters of the conferees and their assistants for official purposes, and that the other building be used as an annex in case of need.
