Ten horses were burned to death.

The cylinder head on one of the pumps blew out, however, just as the fire was getting under control, putting the boat out of commission until this morning, when some of the pumps were put into operation.

TOLD SCHOOL CHILDREN WOULD FAIL TO BENEFIT | Gibson Scores Basis of Capitaliza- i tion—Hammer Joins in De- | nouncement. | Told that the 65,000 school children of Washington would receive no benefit of reduced fares under the proposed traction merger agreement, Represen- tative Blanton of Texas, abruptly left the hearing before the House District committee today on the joint resolution authorizing a local traction unification, after serving notice on his colleagues l(hlt “there will be no merger if I can help it.” Aside from a further declaration from Blanton that he “would fight this merger as long as there is any fight left in me," other difficulties presented themselves when individual members of the committee plied John W. Childress, chairman of the Public Utilities Com- misslon, with leading questions regard- ing the $50,000,000 valuation and bene- fits to be derived by the merging com- panies. Representative Gibson of Vermont asserted that, in his opinion, the tax- payers of Washington for years to come would have to “pay a return on watered stock on the basis of capi- talization in the merger agreement.” Join With Blanton. Other members of the committee, including Representative Hammer of North Carolina, joined with Blanton in denouncing the modifications in the merger agreement as shouldering an additional burden on without relief in reduced fares. Mr. Blanton's ire was aroused when the committee was Informed by Mr traction companies in the matter of crossing policemen and paving mainte- nance would amount to about $250.000 annually. The Texan entered the committee room after the proceedings were well under way. and during the presentation by Mr. Childress of the agreement reached between the commission and the officials of the merging companies. As his first question, he asked Mr. Childress what other cities comparable to Washington had done away with re- quiring traction companies to pay for paving maintenance. Mr. Childress said he unders! was no other city, and Blanton ‘that he was interested in knows ing what benefits the car-riding public would receive. | | | Sees Tax Burden. Directing attention to the fact that tenances would be shouldered onto the sult would be to increase the already high value of traction company stock, without reducing the tax burden. “The Public Utilities Commission is not interested in the value of the stock,” | Mr. Childress replied, after trying to ex- plain that release from paving mainte- nance would be reflected in an indirect public benefit by reduced operating ex- penses. “Well, I am,” Blanton declared. “I'd fight this merger If it doesn't give the public reduced fares or some benefits. These items of crossing police and pav- ing puts a burden of about $250,000 on the publllf‘. 1 ?‘onc; think you'll get any merger throu ngress if the le don’t benefit from it.” i After further skirmishing. Blanton curtly asked the Public Utilities chair- man: “What do you proj to do about the 65000 school children under this agreement” “Nothing.” replied Childress. “Then these 65.000 or 70,000 children will have to contine paying an 8-cent fare,” he stressed. Mr. Childress replied there was noth- ing in the agreement favoring them with a lower rate Ready for Fight.

Fall as the re- sult of a corrupt agreement between the two, and the other half teeming|of hys with emphatic denials of the charge and denunciation of the prosecution for its conduct of the case, was leveled at the jury in the Sinclalr conspiracy trial today. Early this afternoon the Government represented by Owen J. Roberts, special oil prosecutor, and the defense, m;r:l; 4 open! final arguments, had told the Jury mu{elr respective stories in heated and impassioned terms. TomorTow morn- ing some time the jury will receive the case from Justice Jennings Bailey for deliberation to a verdict. Cites El Paso Testimony. Just before the closing stages of the trial, the Government, under a ruling by Justice Bailey, took & parting shot at the defense by lay! before the jury the fact that Sinclair had petitioned authority of the court to take Fall's testimony at his home in El that Fall walved immunity, this testimony, but that it was not in- troduced by the defense. At the same time the Government lost out In its ef- fort to show that at the opening of the October oll conspiracy trial, lair's counsel had den that any Liberty bonds passed betwee nhm land Fall, al- though that fact was freely admitted | in this case. As the Fall deposition matter stood by way of evidence this morning, it had little significance, but Roberts, in his address to the jury, declared “if there was & stitch In it that would helj case these astute counsel (refe o the defense) would have used it. If this isn't a fraud why didn't they let Fall speak? If the bond transactions are not .;l;ookrd why did they not let Fall speak?" Hoover took his place before the jury after Roberts had talked for one hour and forty minutes, and denounced Gov- ernment counsel for what he termed the “coloring” of the prosecution - ment. “Any person who had the temerity to come here and disagree with the l"humlrhh lawyer,” Hoover de- clared in referring to Roberts' attack on several withesses, “is & liar, a fool, or & knave. The prosecution has tried to color everything, but you've got to try the case on the Indictment.” Nothing Improper. As he began summing up the defense evidence, he maintained "there is noth- ing improper about the actions of Fall in this whole thing,” and sglded with emphasis that unless a conspiracy s shown' by the evidence, anything that Fall did cannot be held as admissable against Sinclair.
