UTILITIES TO CONSIDER UNIVERSAL TRANSFERS Public Commission on October 20 Will Take Up Long-Delayed Subject. Board Confident of Authority.

CLAIM THE LAW IS VIOLATED Universal transfers for the District are next to be taken up by the Public Utiiities Commission in its course of regulating the corporations of Washington in the interest of the people. It has anrounced a hearing on this question for October 30 at 10 o'clock in the morning in the boardroom of the District Building. For Years the traction companies have opposed at- efforts to obtain universal transfers. Since 1898, there has been law providing that the Metropolitan Railread Company (now the Washington Railway and Electric Company) and the Capital Traction Company shall be required to issue free transfers at points of intersection of their respective lines. This law has not been complied with.

according to the District authorities, as no penaltics are attached its enforcement. The Public Utilities Commiasion. however, is convinced of its authority to enforce an order requiring universal transfers. To explain why such an order should not be issued will be put squarely before the traction companies. Representatives br the traction companies and the public are invited to attend the hearing.

and present any information they may have upon the question of free universal transfers. The public utilities law of March 4, 1913, provides that "the commission shall inquire into any negligence or violation of the laws and regulations in force in the District, of Columbia, and it shall be its duty to enforce the provisions of this section, as well as all other laws relating to the public And the a act further provides that if any public utility shall fail to perform any duty enjoined upon it for which a penalty has not been provided, or shall fail to obey any lawful requirement or order made by the commission, it shall forfeit to the District the sum of $200 for every such offense.

Will. That it now lies entirely with the people of the District whether or not selfgovernment soon is granted by Congress, was the principal idea that Dr. Thomas E. Will, of the District Self-Government League, tried to instill into the minds of a large curbside audience at Eighth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue last night. Dr.

Will told his hearers that members showed a willingness to give self-government to the people of the District if a large part of the people should ask for it. He said that he has been assured of the favorable attitude of the House District Committee. Representative son of Kentucky, chairman of the committee, he said, has promised to introduce the measure. Dr. Wills favored the Des Moines plan of city government.

This, he said, would obviate the dangers of boss or ring ruie. His listeners seemed thoroughly in favor of action by Congress. For Relief of Court Congestion. Without opposition, the House yesterday passed the Senate bill to relieve the congestion of the District Court of the Southern District of New York. The bill authorizes the Chief Justice of the United States to designate and appoint a judge of any District Court in another circuit to hold a District Court in the Second Judicial Circuit, embracing New York.

Tomorrow morning the fall trading season in Washington is officially inaugurated with "Trade Week." The Retail Merchants' Association has expended much time effort in the distribution of posters and advertising matter generally to points within a radius of from 100 to 150 miles of Washington, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia.

no season of the year are stocks a high tide as in the fall, and particutarly this fall, with a "Trade Week" as the special attraction. Special displays and prices will be offered by merchants during the coming week. The "Trade Week" movement is not a case of going after trade that belongs to other localities. but rather a movement intended secure that which naturally belongs to the National Capital. It is a well-known fact that stores in small places cannot afford to carry a line of goods sufficient to meet all the needs of the community; therefore, the larger purchasers in the small towns must seek a market elsewhere.

It is to attract this class of trade, and now-and-then buyer as well, that the "Trade propaganda has been sent forth. Railroad Rates Cat.
