BUS FARE HEARN 10 BE CONTINUED| Utilities Commission to Con- tinue Examination of Mer- rill Next Week. « Without completing an examination of B. D. Merrill, president and general manager of the Washington Rapid Transit Co., the Public Utllitles Com- missfon yesterday afterncon ad- journed its public hearing on the ap- lication of the company for author- ty to charge a straight cash fare of 10 cents on its bus lines in the Dis- trict. The hearing will be resumed October 27. The commission spent most of the day delving deeply into the various {tems making up the company’s claim to a valuation of $635,000. Consider- able importance s attached to this qQuestion, because the rate of fare suthorized will be based upon the fair valuation fixed by the commission. Clashes Between Counsel. Maj. W. E. R. Covell, Senior Assist- ant Engineer Commissioner, assigned to public utilities, and Willlam McK. Clayton, chairman of the public utill- tles committee of the Federation of Citizens' Associations, cross-examined Mr. Merrill, the first witness, in an effort to show that the company’s own valuation is too high and that the eompany is not being operated on a strict economy basis. The hearing was punctuated by sev- eral clashes between \Mr. Clayton and George P. Hoover, counsel for the company. The first came at the out- wset of the hearing, when Mr. Clayton questioned the legality of the transfer of the majority of the capital stock ef the company to the North Ameri- ean Co. without the approval of the commission. Later Mr. Hoover be- oame irked over Mr. Clayton's exami- mation of President Merrill as to the Justification of several items listed | under operating expenses, and chal- lenged the authority of the commis- sion to supervise the internal adminis- trative affairs of a public utility cor- poration. Decision Month Off at Least. Brgineer Commissioner Bell, chair- of the commission, however, read to the record at the close of the hearing a statement explaining that while he was unable to answer Mr. Hoover's challenge without legal ad- vice, the commission did indicate its position on a similar question on Au- st 21, 1824, when it wrote to the s company that its administrative; ewerhesd eppeared to be too great and that it thought a more eeonomlml‘ operation was possible. ‘When the (w?noml!slon concludes fts oross-examination of Mr. Merrill, Byars M. Bachman, chief accountant ©of the commission, who recently made #n inventory of the company's prop- g’.’. will be called to the stand. In- cations are that the fare question will not be determined for at least & month. —_— Inventor Claims Wings That Enable Everybody to Fly y the Associated Press. VIENNA, October 19.—Wings soon will adorn the least angelic of men, says M. Lutsch, an Austrian inventor. He is credited with build- ing an apparatus to be worn by the individual, which will enable every one to do a certain amount of flving in comfort and safety. The machine consists of a pair of ‘wings, moved by an improveéd motor, which, although extremely light in weight, furnishes a surprising amount of power. The first model weighed 80 pounds and lifted the inventor several yards from the ground and enabled him to move swiftly in any direction at will. M. Lutsch declares his invention, when perfected, can be turned out at an extremely low cost—some- thing in the neighborhood of $300.

Long before darkness the crowd be- sachusetts avenue. By the Associated Press. BEAUVAIS, France, October 19.— Being the living image of Pope Pius XI has proved rather embarrassing for the Abbe Bernard, parish priest of a modest village in the Depart- ment of the Oise. Motion picture men desirous of inducing him to take the part of the Pope in a film and villagers asking him to perform mir- acles and cures have made his life miserable. The realization of his extraordinary resemblance to the supreme pontiff of the Catholic Church suddenly burst upon the humble priest during a recent visit to Rome, Entering the Vatican through the bronze gates, the priest was puzzled when the Swiss Guards came rigidly to atten- tion and presented their ancient hal- berds. Strolling through the vast corridors of. the palace, the French priest became thoroughly frightened when he noted high dignitaries, noble guards and bishops saluting him. The fact was called to the attention of thg Pope and the priest, who had merely hoped to be received in public audience, was summoned privately. The Pope was greatly struck by the likeness. “It I could perform miracles,” the priest told his numerous visitors upon his return to his village, “I would help the franc.” PARADE TO AID PASTOR. |WENIG TALKS AT SCHOOL.
