NEW VALUATION IN-MERGER URGED Consulting Engineer Proposes Solution for Washington’s Traffic Problem. A revaluation ‘of ths local traction companies could be made in one year, in the opiion of Henry J. Saumders, a consulting engineer, who wrote to Chairman Capper of the Sena'e Dis- trict committee today, giving his views regarding the merger situation. The several reports filed with - the special subcommiitee handling the merger plan have dealt largely with discussion_of the guestion of whether the $50,000,000 valuation agreed upon | by the companics should be included in the legisiation authoriizing the con- solidation, pending a aluation to bz made following the merger. Thess different reports also have g ous estimates as to the probable leng:h of time it would take to complete and | put into efect a new valuation. May Be Completed in Year.

In his original report Dr. Maitbie recommended elimination of the clause fixing the. $50,000.000 valuation for a 10-vear period. In their reply a few. days ago the ‘companies contended they are entitled to have an. established rate base provided for in the merger agree- ment, and that the most the company should be asked to do would be to shorten the continuance of the rate base if it should be found that a'new valuation could be made in less time.

No parks could be more beautifully kept than those in the Swede capital.

HOOVER 10 SPEED CABINET ACTION Will Begin Series of Confer- ences With Leaders on Arrival-Here. By the Associated Press. U. 8. 8. UTAH, January 2.—Selection of his cabinet being the next important task ahead of him, Herbert Hoover immediately after his arrival in Wash- ington next Sunday plans to begin a serles of conferences with Republican party leaders from practically all sec- tions of the country on the make-up of his executive family. Mr. Hoover probably will invite to his first conferences those congressional leaders, who took a leading part in his campaign. These undoubtedly will in- clude Vice President-elect, Curtis; Sen- ators Moses of New Hampshire, Borah of Idaho, and Sackett of Kentucky; Speak- er Longworth and Representative Tilson, the Republican House leader, and Rep- resentatives Newton of Minnesota, who was chairman of the party’s national campaign speakers’ bureau, and Fort of New Jersey, secretary of the Republican national committee, who was the Hoover floor manager at the Kansas City convention. Cabinet Is Not Made Up. The President-elect indicated clearly today that he has not made up his mind on the cabinet appointments. The first task he set for himself was his Latin- | American good-will tour and he fells it 1S unnecessary to begin the cabinet selection until he reaches the Capital. The primary purpose of Mr. Hoover's visit to Washington is to confer with these leaders. While there he also will ask_for a conference with President Coolidge to make a report on his obser- vations on the good-will tour. In addi- tion he will formulate a precise program for his inauguration, which he desires to be as simple as any held in recent ears. % 1t is no secret that Mr. Hoover has found amusement in some of the stories emanating’ from Washington as to his reason for going there. He pointed out that his home is there and that he wants to make arranagements regarding his house and to pack his personal be- longings before entering the ‘White House. He also stated that, if he went direct to Florida, it would put the Sen- ators and Representatives with whom he desires to confer at a great incon- venience. Tt also was pointed out that every Republican President-elect since Hayes has visited Washington between the time of the election and the inaugu- ration. Garfleld, McKinley, Taft and Harding all did. : Mr. Hoover reiterated that he will not discuss the legislative program of this Congress with any leaders, as he would regard it highly improper for the President-elect to interfere in any way with legislative affairs pending during another administration. Fletcher Prepares Tour Record. The historical record of the good will tour is now in the- course of prep- aration by Ambassador Fletcher, who will file it with the State Department, to be placed in the Government's per- manent archives. The record will in- clude the texts of Mr. Hoover's speeches at Amapala, Honduras; La Union, Salvador; Corinto, Nicaragua; San Jose, Costa Rica; Guayaquil, Ecuador; Lima, Peru; to the Bolivians at Antofagasta Chile; Santiago Chile; Bucnos Aires, Montevideo, and Rio de Janeiro, as well as the texts of the addresses welcoming Hoover made by the various South and Central Ameri- can Presidents and foreign ministers. There also will be incorporated the texts of messages exchanged between the President-elect and officials of the Latin American republics. Mr. Hoover has his own private rec- ords of the trip, including statistics and voluminous data on various jects about the different countrics he visited, which are expected to be of invaluable aid to him during his ad- ministration. b The Hoover mission will disband upon the arrival in Washingion. Am- bassador Fletcher will remain in the Capital for a few days before going to his post at R-me. Allan Hoover will go back to Palo Alto, Calif,, to resume his studies at Stanford University. John R. Mott a perscnal friend of Mr. Houvver, who accompanied him becaus2 of his knowl:dge of the people and language of S.uth America, will re- turn to his home at Los Angeles. Goorge Barr Baker, director of com- munications for the mission, will re- turn to his New York home. Mrs, Hoover will remain in Washington with the President-elect and will accompany him to Florida later in the month. 0il Contracts Approved. By Cable to The Star.

I believe this would be legal under the terms of the appro- priation act.” Inspector Pratt made his suggestion to Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police, who also received Mrs. Van ‘Winkle's spirited protest, and her an- nouncement that she wants the house of detention near the center of popu- lation. Faced with these conflicting re- quests by- his subordinates, Maj. Hesse is maintaining silence. In the mean- time, the day on which the house of ;iemnflun has to move is fast approach- ng. El‘hg present location ‘at 908 B street southwest ran counter to the desires of neighbors, who successfully maintained a suit in Equity Court to restrain tne Commissioners from continuing the use of the property as a house of detention. According to terms of the settlement of the sult, agreed to December 21, the Commissioners were allowed one month in which to move. The city heads in- trusted the task of finding a new loca- tion for the detention house to Assistant mgmeer Commissioner Layson E. At- 5. Maj. Atkins is waiting for the Police Department to agree on a site, and when they report to him he will enter into negotiations for leasing it. ‘The history of the House of Deten- tlon ever since the day when its loca- tion on Ohio avenue near Fifteenth street was decided upon as part of the site for the new Department of Com- merce Building has been troubled. Two previous efforts to find a new location were received with such op- position by prospective neighbors that he Commissioners were forced to change their plans. One effort to lo- cate the House of Dentention near the Capitol led to the writing of a clause in the appropriations bill that the House must not be put within 300 yards of the Capitol grounds. When the Commissioners finally moved the House to 908 B street southwest the neighbors promptly took the matter to court. ey MAN AND WIFE SLAIN.

The growing speculations as to pos- sible appointments by President-elect Hoover to the cabinet and other offices caused Chairman Work of the Repub- lican national committee to issue a formal statement last night in which he declared that Mr. Hoover had named no one to advise him on nominations. Mr. Work's statement in full read: “I regret the publicity given to con- Jjectures attributed to officials of the party that has been given to probable presidential appointees of the next ad- ministration. “Those who know our next President best, thoroughly understand, because of his very wide acquaintance and in- dependent mind, that he needs no referee to advise on appointments, and that, of a certainty, no one has been SIX ON BURNING BOAT SAVED BY THREE BOYS Captain Aids Trio in Rescue of Men Just Before Gasoline Explodes. By the Assoclated Press. MIAMI, Fla., January 2.—Three boys, aided by a ship captain, saved the lives of six men yesterday when a recon- ditioned 35-foot cruiser burned after an explosion 7 miles southeast of Miami. A. C. Duval, owner of the cruiser, and his brother, Oscar Duval, both of Miami, were treated by physicians. The four others were unscathed. The rescue was effected by E. N Beicher, jr., 14; Anthony Belcher. 13; Sam Bailey, 14, and Capt. A. Fritz, commander of the 38-foot cabin cruiser Marskee, owned by the Belcher boys' father. The Marskee reached the six men after they had launched a rowboat from the deck of the burning craft, just before the gasoline tanks exploded and the boat sank. NARCOTICS BLAMED FOR GOTHAM CRIME New York Mayor Calls Outlawry Relatively Low, Considering Huge Population. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 2—Mayor James J. Walker, in a copyrighted ar- ticle in the New York American today gives the use of narcotics as one of the chief causes of crime in the metropolis. He also asserts that New York 1s relatively the least crime-ridden city in the country, when its millions of in- habitants are compared with the size of other communities. While wrongdoing in other com- munities is minimized by their local newspapers and not published in metro- politan papers, the mayor says, similar occurances in New York are given na- tion-wide publicty giving the city a reputation of being wicked. Young men, who, under proper con- ditions, would be useful, law-abiding citizens, Mr. Walker writes, are turned into gunmen and gangsters by a hand- ful of gang leaders who feed them drugs to undermine their moral fiber and to gain an ascendency over them. The mayor said the World War, which lowered the respect for human life, also had contributed to present day lawless- ness. # so designated. Certainly, no party offi- cial would publicly express his views or wishes as to presidential appointments, and not at all, unless requested to con- fidentially do so by the appointing power. There has been no basis at any time for any other assumption. Since' the departure of Mr. Hoover on his Latin American good will tour upward of a dozen men and at least one woman have been mentioned as either selected or as having strong back- ing for cabinet posts. The woman is Mrs. Alvin T. Hert of Kentucky. Nothing, however, has been forthcom- ing from Mr. Hoover on the subject. Lieut. Williams Helping to Build ew Speed Plane By the Associated Press. Lieut.
