TWO PROTEST NEWROUTESFOS cars

Both Want Those on George-town-Lincoln Park Line

to Pass Station.i

Two complaints against the newroutes which the cars of sev«ral linesof the Washington Railway and Elec-trie Company are to follow afterMarch 1 have been filed with thePublic Utilities Commission.

Letter* of l*rote»t.George H. Eakle of 110.S Kast Cap- ;

itol street has protested againts run-nine" the Lincoln Park cars by wayof the courthouse and Capitol insteadof past t'nion station, as at present.

"1 think, with many others." wroteMr. Eakle. "that you are doing an

injustice to the northeast section bycutting the Lincoln Park tars outfrom Union station. It seems to methat every other, or every third car,could run by the the station eastand west, giving the people who livesouth of East Capitol street and L>in- i

coin Park a through route to the sta-lion, city post office and governmentprinting oflfce without having totransfer, as it is at times im-possible to get on Lincoln Park carsfor the jam."Roger C. Wells of Hammond Courts

voiced disapproval of the plan to dis¬continue the routing of Georgetowncars past Union station and the run-ning of all Mount Pleasant cars by thedepot. Mr. Wells wants to know ifthere are not more people who gofrom Georgetown to the station thanfrom that section to Lincoln Park. '

Transferring Held Essential.Members of the commission pointed

nut before the new routes Vere an-nounced that it would be almost im-possible to reroute the lines of the iWashington Railway and ElectricCompany in such a way as to relievecongestion on the tracks in the heartof the city without requiring some;passengers to transfer who now havethrough service.They endeavored to arrange the new

routes in a way which would benefitia majority of the public, with thejinain ohject of curing the situationnow existing in the area from 14th toOth on F and G streets. Under thepresent routing cars become jammedin this territory during the rushhours, with the result that the com¬pany finds it difficult to keep the sev¬eral lines which pass through thispart of the city moving on schedule.By taking the North Capito! and

ttrr.okland cars which now go through14th street to Georgetown and routingthem up Uth street the commissionexpects to relieve congestion both on14th and 9th streets. The 11th streetcars, under this plan, will be taken offof 9th street in the business sectionand brought through G street fromNorth Capitol.>o Plan au to Capital Traction.The commission at this time is not

considering any rerouting of the linesof the Capital Traction Company.

J. H. Hanna, general manager ofthat company, said his company is notcontemplating a request for reroutingat present. The company, he said, willmake its next regular traffic co ,ntin January, and this may showwhether there are any changes Inrouting*which could be made to im¬prove Capital Traction service.

CUZZUCOTI MURDERREMAINS MYSTERY

jDetectives Question Balti¬more Resident, But Get NoAdditional Information.

An Italian resident of Baltimore was

questioned at police headquartersyesterday by Inspector (irant, chiefof detectives, in an effort to obtaininformation regarding the DominickCuzzucoti murder mystery. The Bal-timore man sai«l he had heard themurder discussed in ai\ Italian pool- jroom in Baltimore, but declared he jwas unable to throw any light on thetragedy. Told of the circumstancessurrounding the finding of the bodyof the slain man, the Baltimoreansaid he felt satisfied that robbery wasnot the motive.

Resume Inquiry In Baltimore.Detectives Morgan and Thompson

returned to Baltimore this mo 4 igto resume their investigation. .oeAltemonte, uncle of the murderedman, one of the two persons formallyaccused of the crime, it was learned,was in business in Baltimore beforehe moved to Fairmont, W. Va.. andmany of his Baltimore friends toldthe detectives of their associationwith him. They also knew Cuzzucotiwhen he resided there. Santos Pi-nestri, resident of Schott alley, alsocharged with the crime, also wasknown by numerous Baltimore resi¬dents of his nationality.Discussing the investigation of the

murder mystery. Inspector Grant saidmembers of his force had learned thatMrs. Altemonte had accompanied Cuz¬zucoti, her nephew, to North Caro¬lina early in November and that Alte¬monte had returned from North Caro¬lina with them about November 15.The three persons were in this cityNovember 15, according to what thedetectives learned, and Altemonte andhis wife returned to Fairmont.

Date of Disappearance.Cuzzucoti, it is stated, was not seen

alive after that day, although it wasnot until December 12 that his bodywas found in the woods beyond Ben-ning. It is the belief of the defec¬tives that Cuzzucoti was taken to thecountry in an automobile, accordingto Inspector Grant, and identity ofthe driver of the car is expected tobe established.The investigation developed that

Cuzzucoti had been arrested in WestVirginia for alleged illicit traffic inintoxicant, and released on bond fur¬nished by his uncle. It also waslearned that Cuzzucoti had an accountof $500 in a bank in Fairmont.Inspector Grant believes that a num¬

ber of persons were implicated in thecrime and that their identity will bejfstablislied before the investigationis concluded. Statements of residentsof Baltimore and Fi. irmont have beenwritten by Detectives Morgan andThompson and may form part of thetestimony when Ctoroner Nevitt con-ducts an inquest.

ASSERTS GERMAN LABORSITUATION GROWS WORSE

Newspaper Declares Industry Shut¬downs, Bringing' Idleness,

Are Threatened.EERL1N, Saturday. December 27..

The semi-official Norddeutsche Allge-meine Zeitung says that the nationalbureau of statistics in its Decemberissue of the National Labor Gazettedeclares the German labor situationin Novemer grew steadily worse."An almost complete stoppage of

train service between November 5 andNovember 15 did make possible a sur¬plus of 400,000 tons of coal," the bu¬reau says, "but frequently snow¬storms hindered coal shipments andall work in the open, and while pro¬duction increased it was impossible, tosupply indus'ries, many of which hadto make additional restrictions andlay off employes. Extensive industryshutdowns, throwing a huge numberof employes into idleness, are threat¬ened in the near future. That is mostserious in that the number and varietyof foreign contracts are constantlyrising. A further accentuation of thesituation was caused by a continuallack of raw material."The Hamburg Chamber of Com¬

merce, in its annual report, says thatrelief from the chaotic conditions pre¬vailing must be found in increasedproduction. Demand for control of ex¬ports is called a mistake by the cham¬ber.
