Sheridan, director of the Mis- souri committee on public utility infor- | mation, had criticized his employes for | their business methods. Sheridan wa: examined . today in the commission’s | utility investigation. | Sheridan, who is from St. Louis, testi- fied under questioning that he used | methods in handling his utility publicity | { with which he did not agree and which | | did not conform with some of his per- | sonal ideas. Healy asked if it was not a fact that he had told things in his publicity { work that he knew were not true. He also asked if he had not done things| | in his work that were against his con- | | science. Sheridan conceded that he | had done things which were not in line | with some of his personal thoughts. | The witness said that he had been| director of the committee since 1921 and that “as a whole publicity had been to influence public opinion.” Tells of Work. an said that he had been music and dramatic critic and held otner positions on the St. Louis Globe-Demo- | crat, St. Loufs Post-Dispatch and the St. Louis Republic for 20 vears before | entering into the utility publicity He testified that he belonged Wrecked train of W early today, when a coll we will be in position o ascertain if e subject might be reproduced in pamphlet form for distribution among the students of the colleges wvhich he 4 | said that he did not know | suggestions Dean McCaustland | carried out in his speeches, but d that the speeches had been issued in pamphlet form and distributed.

The witness said that he entertained newspaper men at the expense of the committee and that he helped to or- ganize meetings of newspaper men and had utility men speak before them. Sheridan testified that he helped or- ganize the Missouri Association, a State-wide boosting organization, and that he had contacts with the Repub- lican association and the Democratic association in that State. He said that he collected about $3,000 for a conven- conven- tion were paid a balance of $600 was at | his suggestion. Use of Publicity. mittee was appointed in Missouri to vist headquarters the Redpath-Vawter chautauqua system to protest a speech being made by Carl D. Thompson over the chautauqua circuit in 1924. The committee met with Mr. Keith Vawter at Cedar Rapids on July 21, 1924, and the minutes of the meeting said that the question was “Shall we annihilate Mr. Thompson or modify him?" The minutes said that the committee deemed | the ‘modification the best policy and that Mr. Vawter stated that he would | demand that Mr. Thompson modify_his | | lecture on “Public Superpower, Its Im- portance to America.” In the committee reports introduced |into the record it showed that every | effort was made to have Thompson's | |speech changed. and, it was said, that | {while no promises were asked of “or imade by Mr. Vawter, the judgment of | the committee was. that if it was found | desirable Mr. Thompson's lecture could | be eliminated from the Chatauqua pro- {gram.” _The report quoted Mr. Vaw- | |ter as saying that he would demand | {that the lecture be modified, but stated | | that Thompson was a hard man to con- |trol, that his early lectures in Iowa | | were reasonable, but when he found | i STRAY HORSE WRECKS W..

The two cars are of a new type and are considered as one car by the railroad officials be- cause they have one truck in the middle that serves both cars. The force of the collision tore the two sections apart, turning one over to one side and the other in the opposite direction. Following the crash most of the pas- sengers succeeded in crawling to the tracks, where they sat and waited until Gales and F. M. Sallada, a motorman who was riding to his home here, went for assistance. In the meantime Oster, despite his injuries, went down the track to flag down any train that might come upon the wreck.

Asked by Healy if he wanted to get stories with headlines, Sheridan replied in_the affirmative. 1 Healy asked Sheridan if it was not a fact that he had criticized in letters the persons by whom he is employed and their methods.

Checks | were introduced into the record which | showed the McCaustland had received | a total of $270 fof the three addresses | and expenses.

HIGHER BUS FARE - PLEA GONSIDERED Ham Tells Commission Blad- enshurg Line Has Operated at Loss. An appeal for relief in the form of a 10-cent cesh fare, or three tickets for 25 cents for the motor bus operating on Blacensburg road, be- tween Fifteenth and H streets north- east and Laurel. Md., was made to the Public Utilities Commission today by William F. | Washington Railway & Electric Co. Mr. Ham's request | particularly significant in ity circles in view of the recent de- mand of the Capital Traction Co. for an increased fare. The Washington Railwvay & Electric Co. has not yet applied for a' higher fare on its rail lines, but Mr. Ham lald particuiar em- | phasis today on the financial tion of his company which, is earning slightly in excess per cent return on its court valuation. The Capital Traction Co.'s return last year was 3.8. Claims Loss of $44,511, ‘The existing rates of fare on the Bladensburg bus line are the as those on the street car lines of the railvay company. Free transfers are issued between the busses and the street cars at Fifteenth and H streets northeast under a five-year agreement between the commiscion and the com- pany. which expired April 11, Mr. Ham's plea for a higher bus fare {was made at a public hearing called specifically by the commission to deter- mine whether the transfer arrangement contained in the five-year agreement | should be disturbed. He declared that the bus line suffered a loss of $44.511 in the five-year period, beginning April |11, 1923, when busses were substituted | for rail service on Bladensburg road. The new schedule of rates proposed by |Mr. Ham contemplates the issuance of {free transfers between the busses and |the cars on_the payment of a 10-cent |cash fare. Ticket users would be re- | quired to pay 2 cents additional for a | transfer. | 'Mr. Ham explained that this schedule |is the same that prevails now on the | Rhode Island avenue and Burleith mo- tor coach lines of his company. Questioned by Ralph V. Fleharty. peo- | ple’s counsel before the commission, as ilo the bus line’s relation to the rail company, Mr. Ham said that it was owned by the Washington Interurban Coach Co., a subsidiary, and should be considered independently for rate-mak- ing purposes. Engineer Commissioner Willlam B. Ladue, a member of the commission, pointed out that the rail- way company ultimately bears the losses |or “benefits from its operation, as the | case may be. ‘Wants Rate Continued. Irrespective of how the relationship is viewed, Mr. Ham insisted, the bus riders have been getting service for less than cost in the five-year period, and “there is no reason now why they should get it for less than cost.” Col. Harrison Brand, jr.. vice chair- | man of the commission, asked Mr. Ham if he would be willing to extend the bus line downtown. He said he had no ob- jection to making the extension, but that it would cost the company be- tween $d0 and $100 additional a day in operating expenses. Willlam McK. Clayton, chairman of the public utilities ‘committee of the Federation of Citizens' Associations, urged the continuance of the existing arrangement between the busses and cars at Fifteenth and H streets north- east for another year in view of the | pending transit merger negotiations.

SENATORS ASK DATA ON CIL. SERVIE Summary of Apportionment Laws to Be Studied After Committee Hearing. The Senate civil service committee, which has been holding hearings dur- ing the past week on appointments and dismissals in the civil service since the | war, held an executive session today at | which it requested the Civil Service Commission to prepare a summary of all the laws and executive orders relat- ing to apportionment of civil service | jobs among the States, preferential rights of ex-service men and the laws The committee will make a study of these laws after the hearings have been concluded. Following the executive conference | with members of the Civil Service Com- { mission, the committee resumed its hearings with Miss Mary E. Henaughan, who began her testimony vesterday, still | on the stand. Miss Henaughan was in | the Government service dor a number of { years. She testified yesterday that she | had been let out of the service during a reduction in force. Her chief contention was that em-| ploves from the States are not given | their full rights under the apportion- ment law. She argued that employes from States which do not have their full quota of persons in the Government service in Washington should not be let out during reductions in force while Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia have more than their quota. It has been explained that the ap- portionment law applies to appoint- ments and not to dismissals and that conditions beyond the control of the Civil Service Commission have brought about the inequality in apportionment. ring the hearing today, Senator Brookhart, Republican, of Towa said the committee had been informed that since the war there has been a net reduction of 60.000 in the number of employes in Washington and pointed out that this was quite a large change in per- [ 15th & Pa.

He also said the commis- sion would assert that in the higher salaried positions the apportionment is fairly well distributed among the States. Senator Brookhart asked Herbert Morgan of the commission about a stateme>nt that as many as half of the 12.000 excess District residents in the service were former citizens from States. Mr. Morgan said it was impossible to say how many, but that a great many of those in the service from Washing- ton, at some time came from one of the States. Miss Henaughan inquired about the enforcement of the law which provided that oniy two members of a family may be in the Government service. Mr. Morgan replied that the commission keep close watch on that law. (7O mount, For summer . . , f quiet, or th action . . . yor at Becker's in luggage accessories possibly By Ship or Auto . .
