S, A, | E | i nd His Famous Victor Recording Orchestra HYATTSVILLE HILLS BUS LINE APPROVED W. R. & E. Is Granted Permission to Extend Rhode Island Avenue Service. The Public Utilities Commission yes- terday issued an order authorizing the ‘Washington Railway & Electric Co. to extend its Rhode Island avenue bus line to Hyattsville Hills in competition with the R. L. May independent bus line. Early in the year the commission had refused a request of the Washing- ton Railway & Electric Co. to extend its bus line to the District line, so that it could get the local passengers the May bus line was carrying. The com- mission compromised by extending the line from Fourth and Franklin streets northeast, where it then ended, to Bunker Hill and Queen Chapel roads. ‘Thereupon the company planned an interstate route sending its busses to Hyattsville Hills, thus depriving the commission of discretion to refuse the extension originally sought, because a Supreme Court decision rules that no State, and this includes the District, may block development of an inter- state route. A local fare of 10 cents will be charg- ed on the new route with free transfer to street cars operated by the company. ‘The commission also granted the re- | quest of the Washington Rapid Transit Co., yesterday to reverse the direction of its busses around the Colorado ave- nue, Sixteenth and Kennedy streets loop, so that the busses can coast down the grade and avoid the noise which .the climb at present entails. The Lincoln Memorial bus route also was ordered changed so that west-bound busses will use K street instead of I street, enabling passengers to transfer to other routes without walking a block.

Lucas, 1738 Fifteenth street, so the husband enlist- ed the aid of Richard Wilson, 5404 James place, who placed her in his au- tomobile and together they started for the hospital. En route the woman died, and when they arrived at the hospital authorities there refused to accept the body. After a hasty consultation, the husband and his friend decided to take the body to G. H. Faulk, an undertaker, at 4340 Sheriff road northeast, but he, too, re- fused to take the body. because no cer- tificate of death had been issued. He notified Dr. Nevitt, who said that a certificate of death from natural causes will probly be issued, and that it is unlikelyiat any action will be taken against # husband, because he did not know th he was violating the law by driving rough the city with a dead y.
