PUPLLS’ CAR FARE BILL AMONG SIX PASSED BY SENATE Reduction for School Chil- dren on Street Cars and Busses Now Up to House. TRAFFIC AND PAVING MEASURES BOTH FAIL Further Consideration of Former Asked by Senator George After Night Session Debates. The bill to authorize a reduced fare on street cars and busses for children ng to ard from school, which passed & Senate along with half a dozen other local measures last night, will go to the House today or tomorrow for the final legislative step of working out Senate amendments. The new traffic bill and the new street nving assessment measure both failed 1o get through the Senate last night, however, and must await anather call of the calendar. The reduced” fare for school children passed the House last year, with the rate fixed definitely at 2 cents. The Senate rewrote the bill to allow the Public Utilities Commission to fix the Tate, with the provision that the school ;lre shall not exceed one-half the adult are. Concurrence Necessary, The Foening St WASHJNGTON, D. C, Campbell Fights Traffic GOES 4 BLOCKS IN 20 MINUTES. Left to right: Ernest N. Smith, executive vice president of the American Auto- ‘mobile Association, shaking hands with Capt. Malcolm Campbell. There is no doubl that Capt. Malcolm Campbell, British speed demon, is the world's fastest human in & racing car, but he admits he is a novice when it comes to driving through Washington If the House Concurs in the Senate | traffic. amendment the bill will be completed and will go to the President for signa- ture. The other alternative is for the House to ask a conference with the Senate. Even if this should be dore, all indications are that the reduced fare ®ill will be enlcr.cd into law at this session. William McK. Clayton of the Federa- tion of Citizens’ Associations, and John J. Noonan have taken the lead in seek- ing action of this measure. Clayton inted out in a letter to Chairman \pper of the Senate Committee that legislation along this line was being dis- cussed 20 years ago. ‘The traffic bill, which has passed the House, was debated twice last night, with Senator Kean of New Jersey en- deavoring to obtain action. The. first time Senator Blease of South Carolina objected to it. Later in the evening he withdrew his opposition, but Sen- ator George of Georgia asked that it be D3stponed, saying he .thought it dc- served further consideration before final action. The assessment bill, which seeks to new life into the Borland law, was locked by Senator Reed, Re) of! Peansylvania, whal eonsubuucmmy of one feature of bill: A large part of the Borland hw has been declared unconstitutional -by the courts, and the pe: was put forth to overcome the court oh- Jeztions by basing paving assessment on the shape, size and value of the property to be assessed. Further Study Suggestdd. Senator Reed told the Senate the provision allowing the Commissioners to cancel assessments of the last three ienm and reassess under the pending ill appeared to him to be of dubious constitutionality, and suggested the bill be given further study. Among the bills of interest to Wash- ington which passed the Senate last night were: The House bill authorizing a building and repair program at the Naval Hos- pital in this city. The Senate increased the authorization in the House bill from $1,500,000 to $3,200,000, which sends the measure back to the House for con- currence in the amendment. A bill to allow the Commissioners to close streets no longer necessary; a bill to authorize an oil company to lay pe- troleum pipe lines under certain streets; a:bill to reimburse the Potomac Electric Power Co. for certain work in con- nection with the Arlingion Memorial Bridge; a bill making a minor change in the law relating to degree-conferring institutions; a bill to exempt from taxa- tion the property of the National Society United States Daughters of 1812—all of these bills still require House approval. Barber Sunday Closing Bill, ‘The Senate also passed the bill ta require the closing of barber shops of Sundays. The bill is advocated by Belu tor Copeland of New York, who regards it as a health nfeasure to give barbers a day off. The measure is opposed by Dr. C. S. Longacre of the Religious Liberty Association, who contends the bill should not specify Sunday, because that deprives citizens, who observe other days of equality before the law. ‘The Senate also passed a bill previ- ously approved by the House, providing that in the widening of Piney Branch road on the outskirts of the city the ad- ditional width be taken from both sides instead of from one side only. ‘The Senate also passed a bfll author- izing the Commissioners to provide a building for adult tuberculosis patients on the same tract recently acquired for a children’s tuberculosis sanitarium at Randall Statipn, Md. The bill still requires House action, The proposed merger of the Washing- ton and Georgetown Gas Light Cos. was postponed again at the request of Senator Howell of Nebraska, who be- lieves the bill should be amended to eliminate the item of growing concern value from the rate base of the gas company. Action also was postponed on the bill which has passed the House 10 require motorists who are convicted of serious offenses to establish financial responsibility before having their per- mits restored. MAN DIES IN AMBULANCE SPEEDING TO HOSPITAL Coroner Orders Autopsy Performed in Death of Alfred Woll- berg, Tobacconist. Alfred Wollberg, 48 years sold, of 05 Ordway street died in an ambu- nce speeding from his home to the Emergency Hospital last night. He was a branch manager for William Dieches & Co, wholesale tobacco gealers. Coroner J. Ramsay Nevitt ordered The racing champion had an appoint- ment with a group of newspaper men in the American Automobile Association Building, at Seventeenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, at 10 o'clock today. He telephoned from the Willard Hotel, four blocks away, shortly before the ap- pointed hour, and announced he was on hlfl way. Twenty minutes elapsed be- fore he arrived. Almost Too Much. “This Washington traffic is almost too much for me,” Capt. Campbell re- marked as he arrived to face a some- what impatient group of scribes. The diminutive speed king was on time at noon, however, when he called on President Hoover at the White House. He was congratulated by Mr. Hoover upon the new automobile speed record of 245.733 miles an hour he es- tablished recently at Daytona Fla. His mark surpassed that of 231 miles an hour set by the late Sir Henry O. D. Seagrave, his fellow countryman, in 1928. Capt. Campbell declared racing hclds no terrors for him. No Limit to Speed. “There is no lirit to the speed at which racing cars can be driven,” the wveteran driver declared. ‘“As faster cars are built Zrivers will be found to steer them. My mark won’t stand for- ever. I even believe I could do better right now myself if necessary.” ‘The champion was the (uut of honor at a luncheon tendered by American Automobile Association officials in the Willard Hotel. CAPTIVE TO REVEAL PLAGES HE ROBBED Colored Ex-Convict Seized While Fleeing Kalorama Rcad Residence. Arrested by a policeman when he fled from the home of a physician on Kalo- rama road early today, William Horace Smith, colored, 29 years old, 1229 New Jersey avenue southeast, promised to clear up a number of "housebreaking cases which have occurred here re- cently.

Awakened by Noise. Detective Sergts. Howard ogle and K. Wilson were told by Dr. Cusack that he was awakened about 3 o'clock by a noise in the hallway on the second floor of his home. A man ran down the steps and fell in,a heap at the bottom. ‘The intruder regained his feet, paused to slip on a pair of shoes, which he had removed on breaking into the house, and then fled through the side entrance before Dr. Cusack could follow. Senators's Home Included. Included in the list of homes Smith has robbed, police say, is the residence of a Senator. Smith could not name the member of Congress offhand, or could he give the exact address, but declared he would point it out to the officers, they added. Two additional tenants of the five apartment houses visited by a jimmy thief Monday afternoon uncovered losses yesterday while checking over the contents of their apartments. t the La Salle, 1028 Connecticut avenue, Ethel Johnson discovered the thief had taken $75 in jewelry from her fifth-floor &) ent.

COUNSEL FOR DEFENSE OBJECTS TO OPINION Ruling Is First of Kind in District Supreme Court, Allowing New Basis for Challenge. Members of orgl.nlir;muna ellthe‘r sup- porting or urging the sgpea % pro- hibition laws should not be permitted to sit on juries trying cases of alleged liquor law violations, Justice Oscar R. Luring of District Supreme Court de- clared yesterday.

The Interstate Commerce Commission today was confronted with a plea to assume jurisdiction in the -situation growing out of the threatened suspen- slon of service by the Arlington & FPairfax and Mount Vernon, Alexandria & Washington Railways, which have been ordered to vacate their terminals 'and trackage rights south of Pennsyl* vania avenue to make way for Govern- ‘ment building development. ‘Writing to the Bureau of Inquiry of commission -yesterday, Le Roy H.
