Washington News CHEVY CHASE BUS SCHEDULE REVISED AFTER COMPLAINT Dissatisfaction Expressed After Day and Half’s Operation. MORE TRIPS PROVIDED DURING KUSH HOURS | Some of Routes Are Altered and Time Adjustments Also Are Made. After a day and a half's operation | of the new bus service supplanting | street cars on Connecticut avenue from Calvert street to Chevy Chase Circle, the Public Utilities Commission today expressed dissatisfaction with theserv- ce and ordered revised schedules call- ing for more trips during rush hours, alteration of some routes and time ad- Jjustments. ) | Riley E. Elgen, P. U. C. chairman, | and Lieut. Col. Dan I. Sultan confer- red today with James H. Stevens, vice president of the Capital Transit Co., in charge of transportation, and or- dered 13 more bus trips daily. It was arranged also that inbound express | coaches, now making the last loading stop at Van Ness street, shall pick up | passengers as far south as Calvert| street. Express busses which have been | starting from Chevy Chase Circle at | 7 a.m. henceforth will not start until 7:30 or 7:45 because the small number | of passengers on busses leaving prior to this time do not justify the trips. Additional Equipment Recommended. After a carefui* inspection of the new system, Utilities Commissioner Richmond B. Keech said he was dis- #atisfied and recommended that addi- %ional equipment be provided, besides changing bus schedules. “The principal difficulty I no- ticed was in the lack of adequate bus gervice at the Rock Creek loop (at the east end of Calvert Street Bridge) to pick vp northbound street car pas- sengers there and take them by bus to points farther out Connecticut avenue,” Keech said. situation prevailed from 6:50 am. to9am” | In line with Keech's suggestion, | the Capital Transit Co. directed that Anacostia busses en route back to Chevy Chase, instead of crossing Taft Bridge, should go to the Rock Creek loop. They announced earlier they would increase the service at this int, since there was more confusion ‘there this morning than at any other point on the line. Deciared Disappointing. The P, U°C. bers agreed with Keech's criticism, terming the service *very disappointing.” “On the inbound. bus service crowd- ing was apparent to me, particularly between Porter and Calvert streets, but I believe this to be a temporary matter,” Keech said. “I noticed that the loading of the Chevy Chase express busses was light and that much the same situation prevailed on the Chevy Chase de luxe coach line. “Many of the present difficulties should be ironed out through revision of schedules, but I believe some addi- tional equipment must be provided.” Follow New Route. Several dispatchers at the Chevy Chase terminus reported the new serv- ice was running smoothly, but said adjustments would be necessary. The chief annoyance was that the busses do not, in all cases, follow the same routes as the old car Ines and patrons accustomed to trolley habits have not acquainted themselves with the new routes and schedules. One suggested change was that Chevy Chase Circle ot be the terminus for all busses oper- ating under the new plan, but that some of the busses should start from side streets farther south on the avenue. “Of course, you can’'t make a rad- fcal change like this virtually over- | night and have everything go off per- fectly.” one company official said, “but | pretty soon the people are going to | be very satisfied. This will help make | Connecticut avenue one of the most | beautiful streets in Washington and 1t will be much quieter.” The small jron domes marking | “safety” loading zones for the defunct street car service have been removed and motorists don’t have to twist around these any more, nor are com- muters endangered by having to stand in the middle of the street while heavy Connecticut avenue traffic sweeps past them. Passengers stand safely on curbs and the busses pull up for them. Numbers Show Capacity. At Chevy Chase Circle the company has stationed two mechanics to make any emergency repairs which might be necessary. The numbers on the busses’ sides indicate their capacity. For instance, No. 3509 seats 35 pas- sengers and No. 3750 seats 37, GIRL CAPTURES THIEVES AFTER WARM PURSUIT Caught by a telephone operator who pursued them for several blocks after they snatched her purse from the lobby of the Tudor Hall Apartments, two colored boys are in the Receiving Home for Children today, awaiting action of Juvenile Court authorities. The operator, Miss Wilma Scrive- mer, 25, of 1225 N street, was alone in the lobby of the apartment house when the two youths entered, helped them- selves to the purse from the top of ¢he switchboard and fled. Miss Scrivener pursued the boys for two blocks, commandeered a pass- ing automobile, finally caught them at ‘Tweltth and K streets and recovered the purse. Two officers from No. 1 precinct took the boys, one 13 years old and the otier 15, in charge. | | | | | Chicken Supper Arranged.

BALTIMORE, September George O. Hewitt, Roslyn, Va., man, today was sentenced by Federal Judge W. Calvin ' Chesnut to serve 10 years in a Federal penitentiary on a charge of kidnaping. It was the first passed in Maryland under the “Lindbergh law.” . Warner W. Woods, accomplice, who pleaded guillty, was sentenced to 18 months. Hewitt was convicted Friday of having kidnaped Benjamin H. King, 60-year-old Arlington National Cent- etery laborer, last July 22. District Attorney Bernard J. Flynn suggested a sentence of 20 years. Judge Chesnut said he felt the kid- naping was more a “bad scheme to defraud” than an actual kidnaping. Hewitt already was under sentence of three years on a charge of having.de- frauded King of $3,000 by imperson- ating a Government officer. Judge Chesnut said he felt Wood was drawn into the affair by Hewitt, who had a former prison record. Hewitt and Wood drove the aged man from Virginia to Marlboro, Md., where they demanded that he withdraw $8,000 from his savings account. WOMAN IS ROBBED as Station Manager Also Victim of Hold-Up Men.

CLOSES DOOR ON NEW TRANSIENT CASES Private Agencies Unable to Care for Load—Move Seen as Effort to Force Job Seeking. District Welfare officials today were following a policy of “watchful wait- ing” in connection with the shut- down on new transient cases and the ending of supplementary relief for persons transferred from emergency relief to the new works program. “There no doubt will be suffering for some as & result of the changes in the Federal program,” one welfare leader declared. “But there is nothing we can do at the moment.” No more new transient cases can be placed on the District rolls after Thursday midnight, under orders is- sued by Aubrey Williams, assistant administrator of the Emergency Re- lief Administration. The suggestion has been made that needy transients would be worked into the new pro- gram under the Works Progress Ad- ministration. Eligibility Limited. Under existing orders, only those | who were on the District relief list May 15, are elgible for the new works program. Others added later are to be second consideration. From aow on, also, no one will be considered for relief until he has registered with the Public Employment Center here. About 6,000 persons formerly on the Emergency Relief program have been given steady jobs under the new works program. from $45 to $79 a month, these being the established scales for this region for various grades from the unskilled Igborer to the professional and skilled workers. Some complaints already have been received that these scales are not sufficlent to care for the larger fami- lies. One report is of a family of 10, which formerly received a total of $27.50 a week, and now receives $45 a month. Work Held Objective. ‘The Federal rules forbid giving sup- plementary relief, and there has been the “implicatien” that the District should not give it out of its own funds, one informed leader said. “And the District has no more than is es- sential to give relief to the unemploy- ables,” he added. The idea back of it all, he added, is that those on relief will make strenu- ous efforts to find employment or the needed additional funds from private employment. Directors of the Council of Social Agencles are scheduled to meet at 12:30 p.m. tomorrow, at the Y. M. C. A., to consider facts as to transients submitted by a committee, One prin- cipal problem will be what to do about the 100 additional transients who have been coming here each day. Private local agencies say they will not be | able to handle the situation. TWO ARE INDICTED IN BRUSH SLAYING, Fairfax Grand Jury Holds Hugh Hummer and Henry Ed. wards.

Other true billy returned were one charging Edward regoy, Grey- hound bus driver, with felonious man- slaughter in connection with the death of two North Carolina vegetable men on the Alexandria-Washington High- way on June 13, and one charging ‘Walter Glenn, colored, with feloniously shooting a colored woman. Hummer and Edwards are in the Alexancria jail, where they were rushed for safe keeping by Sheriff E. P.

Hummer’s wife is also being held, but Farr said he had not made up his mind what action he would take in respect to her. X-RAY TO DETERMINE BASE BALL INJURY Joseph F. Parkhill, Catholic U. Student, May Have Only Frac- tured Cheek Bone. X-rays were to be taken today to determine the extent of injuries suffered by Joseph F. Parkhill, 20- year-old Catholic University student and son of a.Washington contractor, when struck by a base ball during a game at Cabin John, Md., yesterday afteraoon. It was said at Georgetown Univer- sity Hospital that the youth, son of Joseph L. Parkhill, head of the Park- hill Construction Co., suffered either a fracture near the base of the skull or a broken cheek bone. Physicians said they were inclined to believe, however, that Parkhill's Injury would prove to be nothing more serious than a fractured cheek bone. ‘The youth, playing with the Cabin John Fire Department, was batting when s ball pitched by Edward Heim of the Senate Giants, struck him.

BOUNDARY DISPUTE IS NEARING END {Pending Agreement Is Re- | ported in Which Properties Would Be Exchanged. Prospects of an early end of the long hearings in the District of Co- lumbia-Virginia boundary controversy, through an agreement between the Government and opposing forces, | strengthened today as Federal coun- |sel began closing arguments in the | hotly contested battle. | Members of the commission today manifested interest in reliable reports of an impending agreement under which the United States and owners of the Washington - Hoover Airport would exchange certain properties near the south terminus of Highway Bridge. the commission indicated such an ex- change, coupled with prior stipula- | tions by the contestants regarding the Alexandria water front rights, prob- ably would relieve the commission of | fixing the route of the boundary line on the Virginia shore. Mrs. Rebekah Greathouse, repre- Rosslyn, [ her clients wished to be included in the water front stipulations incor- | porated in the Alexandria agreement, | under which the Government extended idocking privileges below the high- | water mark. Henry H. Glassie, a special assistant to the Attorney General, launched final arguments for the Government this morning by citing Supreme Court and other decisions holding that the boundary line between the District and Virginia is the high-water mark on the Virginia shore of the Potomac River. He is expected to conclude his oral presentation tomorrow, where- upon the commission will begin formulation of its findings. Glassie pointed out that the Supreme Court on several occasions has declared that the charter by which King Charles II, granted to Lord Baltimore the Province of Mary- land in 1632 fixed the boundary line at the high water mark on the Vir- ginia shore." Decislons were eited to show that the subsequent grant by King James 1I, to Lord Culpeper of all the prop- erty in Virginia’s “Eastern Neck,” from the Potomac to the Patuxent Rivers, did not nullify the original Baltimore charter nor change the boundary line. Counsel for Virginia have cited the Culpeper grant in sup- port of their contention that Virginia obtained rights to the river through the gift to Lord Culpeper and that the grant canceled Maryland's rights to the high water boundary. By defending the high water line, the Federal Government has claimed ownership of about half of the airport property, which once was part of Alexanders Island and contiguous swamps. —_— DEAD OF HEART ATTACK MINNEAPOLIS, September 16 (#).— Mrs. Sheila d’Arcy Dawes, 45, radio speaker and author of many articles of life in England, died here yester- day of a Meart attack.

The business census will take $8,000.- 000 of the $10,000,000 allotted for the work-relief projects. The business census will gather basic information on the number of | operating units, employment, pay rolls, | receipts and other pertinent data in wholesale trade, retail trade, business services, real estate, finance, profes- sional and transportation and com- munication. Enumerators will begin next Jan- uary 2 in every State, and will com- plete their work in about four months. The Philadelphia staff will be small at first, but will be increased as the work requires.

The 1900 census was chosen because it listed the ages of all in- dividuals then living in the United States, and thus will show the names of practically all persons now alive who are old enough to be eligible for pension relief. Plans had been laid for a third census project, to take in population, occupation and youth, which was to be directed from Chicago, but the President did not approve this. S. D.
