k] THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. COFE TARESISSUE T - WIH DR WALTBE Public Utilities Committee. Reaffirms $50,000,000 Valuation Stand. | 2 e ! Taking issue sharply with certain of | the “more drastic” n‘commendnunns; made by Dr. Milo R. Maltbje, New York | public utility expert, congerning the | plan for merging the transportation | lines of the city, including his attack on the valuation proposed, the ‘public ' utilities committee of the Washington | Chamber of Commerce yesterday after- | noon adopted a resolution strongly urg- ing Congress to enact make possible the consolidation. The Chamber of Commerce already ! 1s on record in support of the merger as approved by the Public Utilities Commission, th: Commissioners and ihe stockholders of the transit compan: and the action yesterday wes taken after consideration of the reporis on the merger plan made by Dr. Maltble and experts of the Bureau of Eciency, ich have just been submitted to gngTess. “There can_be no question as to the | sincerity of Meltbie's study and its thoroughness and value,” says the chamber’s cammittee. “Ho has thrown new light upbn a ‘number of important aints and peved the way fof further helpful modifications in the merger plan to still further conserve and pro- tect the interests of the public, which must be paramount. “Your committee on public utilities, ‘however, is forced to doubt th2 practical advisability of. certain of Dr. Maltbie’s more drastic reconimendations. “They do not feel that his attempts to discredit the $50,000,000 valuaticn have been successful nor that he has been able to adduce facts to uphold his contention that such valuation is ex- cessive. Of the other points advanced by Dr. Maltbie, your committee feels that from a practical ctandpoint the Importance of some is overstated and that others may well be ironed out in | the course of legislative process.” The chamber committee warned against “over-preoccupation” with de- tails in the merger plan, fearing that such consideration might obscure the vision of larger benefits to be obtained from the merger of the companies: The report of the committee points out that the study made by the Bureau of Efficiency “reveals no serious obstacle to acceptance of the proposed merger.” The $50,000,000 rate base valuation, for 10 years or such shorter period as Con- gress may determine, it is added, is ac- cepted The resolution adopted by the com- mittee, of which Harry King is cheir- man, urged Congress to enact merger legislation - “after. full consideration of all essential factors and after s de- tail changes or medifications as may be deemed essential for the protection of the public interest.” legistation fo | | LUCIEN WHEELER, Chief of the Los Angeles office, United | States Department of Justice, has ac- cepted appointment as chief of the in- vestigating -bureau of Los Angeles Couny's district attroney, Buron Filts. | He has been prominent in investigation { of Los Angeles Federal criminal cases. 'TWO ORDERED FREED ' ON LIQUOR CHARGE Failure of Policeman to Watch In- former Properly Causes Re- lease of Pair. Holding that an informer whose af- {fidavit led to the arrest of two persons had not been properly watched by po- licemen when he made his “buy,” As- Sistant United States Attorney R. P. Camalier yesterday refused to issue pa- pers and ordered the prisoners released. The informer, John Wade, colored, swore to the affidavits before United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage, who issued the warrants to Policemen Chester C. Stepp and W. R. Satterwaite of the ninth precinct. The officers arrested Ella Belk, colored, 800 block of Fourteenth street northeast, and Isaac Casey of the 1600 block of Levis street northeast, claiming to have found small quantities of liquor in their homes. Knowing the difficulty of convicting liquor defendants before juries, the assistant United States attorneys prosecuting ‘prohibition ‘ viclations sev- eral months ago ordered all informers kept covered when making “buys.” Sev- eral convictions of perjury have recent- ly sent a number of informers to jail and led alimgst to the abolition of the WARRANTS W|THHE|.D ’syglm-""hls been working only a few IN ALLEGED ASSAULT| Discrepancies Declared Found in’ Accusations of Hotel Guests Against Police.
