Takoma Group Assails Intri
cate Language of Pro
posed Measure.
The bill now pending in the Senate
relating to the proposed merger of the
street railway was viewed with alarm
by the Citizens' Association of Takoma,
D. C., last night.
George E. Sullivan introduced a reso- |
lution which declared that "it is un
derstood that the bill was prepared by
representatives of the street railway j
companies and makes use of intricate i
»pd involved provisions and language, J
the consequences of which as against
the public are difficult completely to
fathom." The resolutionw as adopted.
"Instead of obligating the proposed
new company, the bill undertakes to
make a series of grants, in the form of
a supposed contract, in derogation of
the power and duty on the part of
Congress itself to deal, in accordance
with its judgment, with the various
matters sought to be precluded," said
Mr. Sullivan.
Action Is Urged.
The resolution, as adopted, stated,
“that the proposed bill undertakes to
recognize and countenance the sup- i
posed assets and liabilities of the rail- j
way companies as appears from their j
balance sheets,’ and while the putting ,
into effect of the proposed merger is
left to wait a period of possibly two
years, the provisions in the bill would i
doubtless prevent the carrying through 1
of the pending and only interpart?* i
valuation ever undertaken, making |
necessary the recommencement after
the establishment of the new company, |
if the Public Utilities Commission j
should then permit the same at all.” {
The resolution is to be sent to the
House and Senate District Committees
and the Public Utilities Commission.
Mr Sullivan was directed to represent
the association at the committee hear
ings.
Zoning Plan Hit.
The proposed addition to the zoning
regulations permitting the Zoning
Commission to modify or partially sus
pend, under certain conditions, the
specific requirements of any particular
regulation with respect to a particular
case, was "deemed unwise and unnec
essary and would be a step in breaking
down the zoning system, which has
been so commendably established and
preserved by our Zoning Commission,”
in a resolution unanaimously adopted.
The matter was presented by W. A.
Magathen, chairman of the Zoning
Committee, who was requested to pre
sent the matter at the public hearing
tomorrow at the District Building of ,
the Zoning Commission.
The removal of the remainder of the
trolley poles on Georgia avenue, be
tween the Brightwood car bam and the
District line was urged in a resolution
adopted.

Should Lieut. Comdr. A. G. Lyle, the

ing new' to him. The dentist, who hails

] more, served at Annapolis and is well
| known in the National Capital, was
i one of the 12 men of the Navy during
; the World War to obtain the Congres
sional Medal of Honor.
On the battle fields of France Lieut.
Comdr. Lyle rendered valuable first-aid
assistance while serving with the Ma
rines. He often went into the line of
fire to save a wounded comrade, and
1 for this he was decorated,
j The citation follows:
"For extraordinary heroism beyond
i the call of duty under heavy shell fire
| on April 23, 1918, in rushing to the
I assistance of Corp. Thomas Regan, who
I was seriously wounded, and administer
ing such effective surgical aid, while
i bombardment was still continuing, as to
save the life of Corp. Regan."

ROOSEVELT VIEWS
ON LEAGUE ASKED
Governor Indicates He May
Reply to Hearst Letter
Inviting Declaration.
By the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y., February 2.—The i
possibility that Franklin D. Roosevelt, I
mentioned prominently as a possible j
Democratic presidential nominee, would
shortly have some comment on the
League of Nations and its connection
with the Japanese situation was seen
at the capital last night.
The New York Governor had before
him a letter written by William Ran
dolph Hearst, in which the publisher |
called upon the candidate to make clear i
his stand on the League. Mr. Roosevelt
had not read the letter, but he inti
mated he might choose to comment if he
found the communication warranted it.
Mr. Hearst conveyed his demand in
a letter to one of the editors of his
chain of newspapers. The letter was
published in each of the Hearst papers.
The Hearst letter crystallized a situ
ation arising out of the recent dismissal
of the League issue by Newton D.
Baker, also one of the foremost of the
field of possible Democratic nominees.
Baker, like Roosevelt, was a member of
Woodrow Wilson’s cabinet when the
war President campaigned through the
closing years of his life for United
States adherence to the League.
The Wilson cabinet in those days
stood solidly with the President in his
battle for American membership in the
League.
DANCE MARATHONS
ASSAILED BY CITIZENS
Highlands Association Scores Com
missioners for Allowing a
License.
Denouncing dance marathons as
representative of all that is undesirable
in the way of entertainment, as well
as putting thousands of dollars in the
pockets of non-resident promotors, the
Washington Highlands Citizens' Asso
ciation last night went on record as j
opposed to future spectacles of that
character in the city.
The District Commissioners were J
roundly scored for permitting the mar
athon, recently ended at the Wash
ington Auditorium, to be licensed, and
the association voted to forward its j
protest to the Federation of Citizens’ 1
Associations in the hope that concerted |
action by other associations might !
result.
The Mapes bills for Increased taxa- |
tion in the District was the subject !
of a commentory resolution which cov
ered the bills in all their particulars, j
Approval of the association was given a
bill now pending in Congress to regu
late the sale and possession of firearms i
in the District of Columbia.
