FARE PLEA RECORD - STIRS BITTER FIGHTI:52 Traction Counsel Clashes With Commission and Attor- neys in Rate Raise Hearing. { ntinued From First Page.) eounsel, jumped to his feet immediately and declared that his recollection of the conference, which he attended last Fall with Mr. Bride and others, was entirely different. “We finaliy agreed,” said Mr. Ham- {iton, “that the commission would per- mit the record in the former hearing cr any part thereof to be brought into this new case. The agreement was entered into by us in perfect good faith. There was nothing in the understanding at that time to permit a violation of that contract by either party. “I say this contract was intended to be what it purports to be, as stated in the letter of the commission to the company at that time. Any violation of that agreement will work an in- Justice to the carriers.” Mr. Bride then started to read from 8 statement which he said was given to the newspapers last October concern- ing the agreemen “I never gave anything to thg news- papers,” interjected Mr. Hamiffon. “I don’t know of anything being given to the newspapers.” Statement {o Press. “Well, & statement of 10 lines to be given to the newspapers was agreed upon,” insisted Mr. Bride, “and it stated | that the record should be ‘available for | use should any other application be | filed.’ " “Well, that's all right,” declared Mr. Hamilton; “that’s what I understood the agreement to be.” “But the record was to be subject to- objection at the present hearing,” repeated Mr. Bride. “Nothing was said about any objec- tion at that time,” Mr. Hamilton replied with some heat. Mr. Bride said that, of course, it was understood that objections might be made to any testimony that might be offered in the new hearing and Mr. Hamilton replied that if such was the ‘case the agreement was worthless. At this point People's Counsel Fleharty interrupted to say that while he was not present at the conference last Fall, he understood afterward that the agree- ment was not intended to give any legal advantage to either party, Fleharty Enters Argument. “Now, it seems that a legal advan- tage is sought to be obtained by the company,” declared Mr. Fleharty. “There is a right way to introduce these court records without presenting them as a part of the record of the former hearing.” “Unless the agreement meant that we could introduce the former record without its being subject to- spotty ob- Jections, it was perfectly useless,” in- terjected Mr. Hamilton. “I deny that any legal advantage was soughi or ob- tained by the company.” Mr. Dunlop, seconding the position taken by Mr. Hamilton, said that the court record, giving the valuation cf the company’s property, was admitted with- out objection at the former hearing, and contended that the company's case would be “‘prejudiced if the commission did not admit’ the record into the pres- ent case. “That was the consideration when we agreed to a withdrawal cf the for- mer application for a rate incrcase, de- clared Mr. Dunlop. President Hanna of the Capital Trac- tion Co., at this point took part in the argument, declaring that his recollec- tion of the conference last Fall was the same as that of Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Dunlop. Explains Agreement. “We agreed to a withdrawal of the former application.” declared Mr. Han- | na, “because we understood we would have an opportunity to use the record | made in that case at the hearing which would be held when the applica- | tion was renewed. No mention was ever made of the record being subject to objection.” President Ham of the Washington Railway & Electric Co. added his voice to the general debate, declaring that while he was not a lawyer, was present at the conference referred to and certainly understood the “eommon business sense” of the agreement. “We all understood that the records ‘would be available in the future rate case,” insisted Mr. Ham. 'You were not there when this fea- ture was discussed. You had a golf engagement,” replied Mr. Bride. “I may not have been present when the final draft was made” said Mr. Ham, “but I was there when it was discussed.” Mr. Bride declared that Mr. Ham ‘was wrong about the time he was pres- ent at the conference. “Well, my recollection is very dif- ferent from yours,” answered Mr. Ham, Clayton Attacks Stipulation. At this point William McK. Clayton. representing the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, intervened. He said the stipulation entered into was improper. It ignored every right of the pubHc in a matter of very vital importance. by not allowing him to be present while the stipulation was under consideration, he said.

He then read from the. stipulation “you may use the record in any subsequent hearing for so much as it may be worth,” and said “I don’t see how an agreement may be more clearly stated.

Dunlop Agrees With Bowen. Mr. Dunlop said he agreed with Mr. Bowen's statement, and it was never contemplated the case should be started over from the beginning.

C., TUESDAY, JULY 30, 1929. 20,000 MASSACRED IN RELIGIOUS FURY All Male Residents of City of Dangar Annihilated by Mohammedans. By the Associated Press. * PEIPING, China, July 30.—Massacré by Mohammedans of 20,000 men and boys in Dangar City, province of Ching- hai, was reported yesterday by Findley Andrews, American missionary, with detalls which read like pages torn from the warst chapters of medieval persecu- tion and rapine. Andrews, who has just returned from a three-month investigation in the fam- ine areas of Northern China for the China Inland Mission, assembled infor- mation from magistrates and other Chinese officials, reports to the Inter- national Famine Relief Commission that Mohammedan raiders in the lapse of two hours annihilated the male inhabitants of the unhappy city and then looted the homes. From what the missionary learned, the raiders attacked the mountain towr., mounted and afoot. With shouts of “Kiil the men, kill every male from 17 to 70,” they rushed the city gates in religious frenzy. Few Women Killed. Only.a few women were killed, mostly those who attempted to shield the men. The Chinese men, weakened by famine conditions and privations, could offer little resistance. So far as Andrews could ascertain, every able-bodied man was killed, while the aged, the very young and a few who managed to hide in cellars, escaped. Religious fanaticism was given by Andrews as the motive for the raid. There has been a Moslem rebellion in progress in Kansu Province ‘én for some time and it was estimated 200,- 000 persons were killed between April and October, last year. ‘The raid on Dangar occurred during the Winter, and was described by An- drews as the most gruesome in the long history of the Moslem outbreaks in China. It was not the most terrible in loss of life, however, for a Kansu Mos- lem rebellion in 1877 is sald to have cost 14,000,000 lives.

By the Assoeiated Press. The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion yesterdey denied a motion by the Bouthern Rallway to dismiss the anti- trust complaint brought by it against the railroad in connection with its con- trol of stock in the Mobile & Ohio Rallroad. The commission also denied a motion by the Southern to drop the anti-trust complaint resulting from the Southern's acquisition of stock in the New Orleans & Northeastern Railroad. The anti-trust complaint was brought by the commission as the result of allegation by the City of Mobile, Ala., | that the Southern had diverted trafic from the Mobile & Ohio_and since its acquisition of the New Orleans & Northeastern had sought to develop the port of New Orleans to the of Mobile. prefucics The Southern obtained a substantial | interest in the Mobile & Ohio in 1901 | and since that time 1~ acquired addi- | tional stock.
