Ham. president of the | Washington Railway & Electric Co., {at a hearing today before the Public Utilities Commission.

Eldridge, objecte Mr. Ham contended line would create an additional “un- necessai transportation facility jand would traverse a territory dis- } tinetly that of the Washington Rail- | way and Electric Co. He also ex pressed the belief that there is not sufficient difference between the par- lor car coaches and the modern ! busses operated his company to justify a 25.cent fare. Competition Denied. denial that would compete Washington Slectric Co. was made by Hamilton, president of the ( tal Traction Co. It is distinctly not the plan of his company. he said, to compete with the street cars or ordi nary motor bus lines, but to give the public a type of service not hereto- fore supplied. Arthur W. Dunn objected to the line on the ground that there are al- ready enough motor busses operating jon Massachusetts avenue and that | traffic_conditions would be intensified | with the parlor car coaches. A peti- | tion, signed by 24 residents on Cali- fornia street, protesting against opera tion of the busses over this thorough- fare was presented to the commission by Willlam H. White, jr. Mr. Hamilton immediately withdrew that_part of the petition routing the coaches over California street.

The extension opposed by residents on the south side of Ord- | street, but the Richmond Park tion’s delegation, headed by W. president, pleaded for the change, pointing out that their sec- tion is not now adequately served by transportation facilities. i Dr. C. L. Carsons, one of the spokes- | men for the group opposing the ex- | tension, argued that the residents of Park did not want houses” traversing Among others who proved the extension was O. b who declared that the new r take the busses past the John Eaton <chool, and thereby increase traffic hazards for the pupils.

Peace, however, is apparently as elusive as ever. The miners asked for the resump- | tion of negotiations here, and up to to- | day have initiated all the latest prop- | ositions for a settlement.

Then the miners sought to enlarge the membership of both committees by adding two members, but the op- erators turned thumbs down on this project. President Lewis of the United Mine Workers, who has claimed that the operators’ negotiating committee lacked full authority, sought to add Samuel D. Warriner and William J. Richards to the committee. In rejecting this proposal the op- erators reiterated that the present committee was clothed with full au- thority to act. SEVEN ABOVE ZERO DUE HERE TONIGHT Cold Wave on Way From North- west, With Possibility of Warmer Tomorrow Night. A cold wave is due here tonight and will force the mercury down to about 7 above zero, according to Forecaster R. H. Weightman of the Weather Bureau. Riding in on the crest of zipping northwest winds with a sting in them, the cold wave hails from the region of the Great Lakes, where temperatures like 30 below zero at Duluth, 18 below at St. Paul, 4 below at Chicago, 12 below at Milwaukee and zero at Indianapolis were record- ed last night. Continued cold for tomorrow fs forecast, with a possibility that there may be a moderation beginning to- morrow night. The strong northwest winds whipped in the cold from subzero regions, be- ginning this morning, when the ther- mometer began to fall, until it was about 34 at § o'clock. There was an- other decrease in temperature later in the morning, followed by an in- crease which left the mercury stand- ing at 30 degrees about 1 o'clock. But a sharp fall was forecast, beginning the middle of the afternoon. Storm warnings were raised along the Atlantic Coast from Norfolk to Eastport,, Me., with the prospect of strong northwest winds and gales, | which’ will probably menace shipping. Gales also are to be expected along the Atlantic steamer lanes for the next few davs. Radio Programs—Page 36 in Annapolis for | House Members Attack and Defend Capital Punishment in District.

Mr. Ratnbone discussed the histo of capital punishment since the da of Draco, whose laws were written in lood, and the time of Blackstone, in Sngland, when Lord Jefferies was known as the “Hanging Judge.” He feels that it is degrading for any State to inflict capital punishment, and in the steady march of progress the world is moving away from the prac- tice.
