Briefs were filed todsy with .the Interstate Commerce Commission by People’s Counsal William A. Roberts and 8. R. Bowen and G. Thomas Dun- lop, attorneys for the Capital Transit Co., opposing the application of the Arlington & Fairfax Railway Co. to extend its service by rail-bus into the District from Rosslyn, Va., to & pro- posed terminal in the neighborhood of Sixth street northwest. Roberts asked granting of his mo- tion for dismissal of the application on grounds the Interstate Commerce Commission was without jurisdiction in the case because the Arlington & Fairfax is a Virginia railway exclus- ively. The brief of the Capital Transit Co. cited a number of reasons for dismissal, contending present facili- ties were quite adequate and that the A. & PF. failed tqyshow its proposal is necessary for the convenience of the public or that it is & common carrier by motor vehicle under the motor carrier act of 1935. Another contention was that the Virginia rail- way sought to “interfere with the ex- clusive exercise by local authorities of the District of Columbia of the power of regulation of intrastate (in tra-District) commerce by motor car riers on the highways thereof.” The local authority referred to was the District Public Utilities Commission.

However, the official said, the charge may be made more or less severe. Public tribute for blocking Mc- Mahon was divided about evenly be- tween “the woman in gray” and An- thony Gordon Dick, a special con- stable. Both the woman and Dick were va- riously credited with being the first to reach McMahon and knock away his gun. “I didn't want to hurt him!” the shaking McMahon was quoted. “I only did it as a protest.” His questioners were unable to de- termine the nature of the “protest,” although they did learn the crippled social crusader previously had at-| tempted to reach Sir John Simon, home secretary. Associate of Mrs. Van Der Elst. McMahon's friends, who were re- sponsible for his description as a | “social reformer,” declared he for- | merly was associated with Mrs. Violet Van Der Elst, Britain's militant oppo- nent of capital punishment. Charged with “possessing a revolver with intent to endanger life,” he will be taken from Brixton Jail for pre- llmlnlry appearance in Bow Street A magistrate, after hearing testi- mony of witnesses, will decide whether to deal with the case summarily or commit the accused man for trial before a judge and jury. In another section or the city, de- tectives invaded his apartment to examine and seal up its contents. The King—apparent object of the unsuccessful attack—seemed the most unperturbed of any one in the em- | pire over the incident. Only for an instant did his rigid bearing relax | when the pistol clattered to the road- way almost under the mincing hoofs of his mount.

Detective Inspector John Sands, who assumed official surpervision of the investigation, conferred with Sir Philip Game, commissioner of metropolitan police, and then hurried to visit the home secretary for further details of | the reported protests from McMahon. Sands, presenting the official charges against McMahon, said he had been handed two rounds of ammunition taken from the prisoner at the scene of the excitement. He described the weapon picked up | from the roadway which, he said, con- tained bullets in four of its five chambers. He also exhibited a black-bordered | RESORTS, OCEAN CITY, MD.

GYPSIES BEMOAN DEATH OF ‘QUEEN Tribal Rites Cause Near Riot by Hospital in Alexandria. “Queen” Ruby Mitchell's ragged subjects lamented her death today. Sorrowing gypsies of a motor cara- van left their camp beside & highway near Alexandria last night and crowded into the City Hospital when they learned “Queen” Ruby’s end was near. ‘The weeping and wailing of subjects of the dead “queen,” carrying out tribal rites on a lawn opposite the hospital, attracted several hundred Alexandrians to the scene and caused & near riot. Unimpressed by the prayers and incantations of the gypsies, the crowd grew unruly. After persons living in the vicinity complained two officers were sent to the scene. Unable to cope with the situation, | they called for help and the entire| force on duty at the time was con- centrated there. It succeeded in breaking up the crowd, and all the ‘“‘queen’s” subjects, except members of her “royal” family, left the scene. The excitement. was heightened, po- lice said, when one of the gypsier re- ported he had lost a diamond ring in the crowd. “Queen” Ruby had been {ll several days, and gypsies from New York, Ten= nessee and Florida joined the tribe which has been stopping near Alexan- | dria in mourning as word spread that | the end was near.

A solicitor who appeared in defense of the would-be attacker told offi- cials his client did not propose to assassinate the King. McMahon's dark-eyed wife said, “Whatever it means to me, I shall | stick by him.” “My husband was always kind and | good-humored,” she declared as she | left their flat to see her husband in | jail. “We have been very happy., It is all quite beyond me. “Why, my husband always stood up when the national anthem was played.

She spent the night alone in their flat in a Victorian house in |the upper end of the fashionable | Westbourne Terrace district. Parliament Gratified. | .

Townsendites (Continued From _Pirst Pagr\ States started a drive against any third party affilation. Before his address at the conven- tion yesterday morning. Coughlin an- nounced an alliance with Dr. Town- send and Rev. Mr. Smith. In his speech he assailed President Roose- celt and declared Dr. Townsend had approved the principles of the Union Party. Coughlin told the delegates they were not asked to indorse the party, but “how many of you will follow Dr. Townsend?” Cheers were the reply. At yesterday afternoon's session, the delegates adopted the resolution declaring the movement non-partisan. Framed by & group of ‘“citizens maximi,” the resolution said the Townsend organization was not & po- litical party, but “the greatest edu- cational and humanitarian movement on the face of God's earth, and to that end we want the field clear for the election of our congressional and senatorial candidates.” Arbuckle’s Statement. Arbuckle’s statement was: “In view of the fact we have had liberal dis- cussions concerning the national po- litical situation, including presidential candidates, and in order to relieve the minds of all delegates in this great and unprecedented convention and to re-emphasize the fact that this con- vention is non-partisan in its politi- cal activities, the chair at this time rules that inasmuch as this is not a political party convention but a con- vention of delegates of Townsend Clubs gathered from all over the Na- tion, any motion or resolution :ave ing to do with indorsement of a na- tional political party shall be out ef order at all times.” He was greeted with prolonged envelope, alleged to have been carried | }roundly thankful that the risk to! the duke, apparently intending to| The case was ap- | which was alleged to| nection with the hanging Wednesday | cheering. As Arbuckle concluded reading the announcement, George D. | Higgins of Los Angeles shouted from | the floor for recognition to offer a | resolution. | “Out of order,” Arbuckle told him with a bang of the gavel. “If you | have a resolution, offer it to the Reso- | lution’s Committee.” Higgins declined to divulge the na- ture of his resolution until he had taken it up with the committee. Moley Watches Proceedings. | Raymond Moley, the former Colum- | bia professor, now editor of a national | magazine, was in the press section to- | day and watched the proceedings with | interest. Moley was the first of a| series of close advisers to President | Roosevelt. Moley said, “This is a great show.” | A prolonged demonstration ‘as touched off as Chairman Arbuckle led | a short, smiling woman from the rear | ol the platform and presented to the | delegates “the sweetheart of the Townsend delegates—Mrs. Francis E. | Townsend.” Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson of Pitts- burgh, whose topic was “The Mothers of America’ Facing the Future,” con- cluded by proposing that “the honor- able Jim Farley be treated to a cere- mony of immersion in Lake Erie.” At the end of her remarks, Chair- man Arbuckle announced that “the | chair rules for reasons most obvious that there will be no demonstrations and T am going to ask the sergeant | at arms to clear the aisles, and that means the sides, so there will be no standing around.” Mrs. E B. Rittenhouse of Florida | spoke on “The Power of an Aroused Womanhood.” She questioned the sincerity of Postmaster Farley in the issuance of the special Susan B. An- thony stamp. Remarking that this was an election year, she added that “even a crack- | pot Townsendite can see why he| | picked this time to issue a stamp for women, although he said he did it | because Susan B. Anthony did some- | thing for women.” | Foster Sends Telegram. | Just before the convention reces.sed' for luncheon. & telegram to the “Citi- | ‘zens Maximi” was received from the | Communist party. It was signed “Fos- | | ter” and said: “In view of the fact that Coughlin | raised issue of Communistic party, mennumng by name Earl Browder, | Communist candidate for President. and that you have invited Roosevelt- Landon-Thomas to address your con- | | vention, we request same right for | Earl Browder.” | There was no indication from lead- | ers today that action would be taken | during the convention on the proposal | of Dr. Townsend that Gomer H. Smith | be ousted for his speech. Dr. Townsend characterized the speech as “unwise” and “discourteous” and said Smith was endeavoring to “disrupt this peaceful convention.” Leaders met far into the night | pondering the question of what to do with Gomer Smith. It was indicated that they had reached no decision, ex- Your The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company ¥ PHESEHVE Get our low estimates before you bave the work done. consider the fact that Fe: bas satisfied thousan Washington home owners over 20 years. .
