question and asked Mr.. Mattinpl,
II Mrs Hutchinson had told him that he. being
the attorney OF Mr.. Olmstead, she could not &C.
cept him as hers
Col. Totten again objected on the same
ground and the court sustained the objection
Mr.. Davis stating that he wished by Mr.. Mat.
tingly to contradict Mrs. Hutchinson, and
noting an exception to the ruling.
NEITHER COULD DIR. LINCOLN.
DR.. Nathan s. Lincoln testified that he at.
tended Hayward NJ. Hutchinson during his last
illness. February preceding his DEATH He said
Mr.. Hutchinson was suffering from uremic
poisoning.
Mr.. Davis, in reply to an inquiry from the
court, said that he proposed to show by DIR.
Lincoln that Mr. Hutchinson, through his suffer.
ing from ur9mic poisoning. was at times in con-
dition Of mind which led him to say irrational
things. He desired. further. to show that Dr.
Sewers had told Mr.. Olmstead the same.
Upon Col. Tottens objection. however. the
court excluded the offer, and Mr. Davis noted
an exception. DR.. Lincoln was thereupon ex-
cused.
MR.. oLMsTFAD AGAIN RECALLED
Mr.. Davis then recalled Mr.. Olmstead, stat
ing that he desired to show that
the remark which DR.. Sewers yesterday
testified that Mr.. Hutchinson made concerning
his (Hutchinson's) opinion of Mr. Olmstead
was meaningless. because there was nothing done
by Mr.. Oimstead which would have led Mr..
Hutchinson to make such a remark. He would
contend before the jury that Mr.. Hutchinson
never made such remark.
MIR. Olmstead then eaid that he did not know
of doing anything which would have led Mr..
Hutchinson to make such a remark.

Bringing the Recently Purchased Car Lines
Under One Management

Bringing the Recently Purchased Car Lines
Under One Management.
An important step has been taken toward the
consolidation of the railroad interests in this
city and vicinity recently acquired BY the
Philadelphia syndicate. SO called. As is we'll
known. this combination of capital now
controls the lexington and Belt street
railroads in this city, the Maryland and Wash
ington, a road which is to be built from 4th
street east along the line Of Rhode Island ave-
nue. extended to the bounds of the District. and
the continuation Of this road. known as the Bal
timore and Washington tramway, which is to
be built to Baltimore. Mr.. Howard Munnik-
huysen of Baltimore is the president of all
these companies, with the exception OF the last
named, and it is expected that in the course
OF short time he will be made president also
of that road. M. W. Kesley Schoepf of this
city has been chosen vice president of
the three lines first named, and also
general manager and chief engineer. This APP
pointnent will bring the lines under one man
agement. In pursuance of this policy Mr.. II.
X. Gray. who was the secretary and treasurer
OF the Belt road under the former
management, has been made secretary and
treasurer OF the TWO roads, The latter's office
streets. Mr.. SchOepf's Office and that of the
president will be in the McGill building, ON G
street between 9th and 10th streets.
REPRESENTED BY ME-. sCHoEpF
The principal officer and representative of
the syndicate in this city will be Mr. Schoepf,
who is well known here. He was born here
about the opening OF the war and started
In life by carrying a rod and chain
as one of the engineer corps
employed on the Vanderbilt system. Upon
the death of his father he returned 20 this city
and was made assistant engineer of the
District position which he resigned a few
years 20 go into private business. He became
the engineer OF the Rock Creek Company
and superiEtended the difficult work of ex-
tending Connecticut avenue and building the
railroad. Last fall he resigned and accepted
the position OF engineer OF the proposed rail-
road between this city and Baltimore.
He has practically completed tho sur
veys for the road between the cities,
and during the present season it is proposed to
go on with the work OF building the road, and
il is expected that year hence an electric road
will be IN operation between this city and Bal
timo:e.
In the meantime attention will be given to
the improvement. of the properties in this city
1t is expected that first of all new rails will be
laid on the lexington line. The Belt line was
quite recently equipped. The extensions
authorized will be built. and in other ways AL
effort will be made to improve the character
of the equipment and the facilities of the two
roads.

CHINESE IN THE DISTRICT.
They Are Waking Up to the Fact, That They
Must Register.

Must Register.
The publication in last nights STAR that the
Geary Chinese law goes into effect next
Friday and that that day was the last upon
which the Chinese could register according
to the provisions Of the law, or by refusing
to comply with its provisions run the
risk of being expelled from the United States.
evidently reminded the Chinese of the District
of this fact Up to this time trey had not
has tened to pay any attention 20 the law.
Since the law was passed year ago only four
of the 100 Chinese in the city had called upon
Mr.. j. N. Graves, the deputy collector OF in
ternai revenue for the District. TO register
Today up to Eoon fourteen had
visited his Office on the second
floor OF No. 643 Louisiana avenue. and when
they departed they had fully complied with all
the provisions of the new law. Ii is expected
that more will follow today and tomorrow. and
it is nos unlikely that by Friday night a large
majority OF the Chinese of the city will have
registered.
1t is said that the more intelligent and better
educated of the Chinese in the city are ad-
vising their coantrymen to register, ap-
preciating the fact that it is the better
judgment and businesslike thing TO do.
The registration costs nothing but a
few moments time and whatever tine result of
the supreme Court may be in deciding the
constitutionaiity OF the Geary law. those who
have registered are in the right. Ii the court
should hold the law 10 be constitutional. then
those who had not registered could have no
other course but to leave the coautry. as the
law compels those who have not registered
to do.
