The Trolley Law Breakers.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The STAR takes such deep interest in the
abOlishing Of overhead wires that hope it will
give space to this, When the lexington and Sol
diers' Home electric railroad had Just finished
their dangerous work of overhead wire system
sent in a small complaint, stating that WASH
ington was the very place for people to live in
who who had power and influence. They put
up the overhead system in front of other peo-
pies premises and not before their own resi-
Congress passed law making it unlawful for
any company to use the overhead wire system
after two years from July l. 1898. The Ecking-
ton and Soldiers Home are now relaying new
tracks along New York avenue, which. of
course, is heavy expense to them. Now, the
company evidently must intend to use the same
system forever. II not, why are they repair
ing it in the same dangerous overhead wire
system? Very respectfully, NJ. EscH,
Corner New York and Florida avenues east

The @ Street Transfers.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star
In your sensible and practical article on the
18th street congestion you fell into one error,
thus: THE transfer to the G street line might
necessitate another transfer agent" That il
not So Passengers on the 14th street cars have
not the right to transfer to or from the street
line. That Is special arrangement for George

from Georgetown and passengers from the

right of transfer-no others. Let the road 20

viii the Rosslyn Murder Remain q Mystery
for All Time?


The Rossyn murder mystery remains un-
solved. The criminal 10 still at large and the
indications are that he will remain SO. Appsr-
emily no progress is being made on the case
The officials are at loss in what man
ner to proceed. Several clues have been
investigated recently. but to no avail
Nearly all Of these alleged clues are Of the
most far fetched and unreliable kind. Con-
stable Cornell takes an occasional tramp
through the woods in the neighborhood Of the
scene OF the crime. When asked by the re-
porter for The STAR what the officers OF the
law were doing. Policeman Nelson Wallace
Informed him that they were lying around
quietly listening to what was said. The coun-
try people in the region around Falls Church
will halt man If thev have any reason to sus-
pect him as the culprit This seems to be all
the activity which is going on. Mr..
O'Leary Of Rosslyn today told The STAR
that the pursuit was begun too late. There had
been too many leaders, bosses and advisers
There had been too much talk and too little get
up and get The lynching feeling had died out.
The people Of Rossiyn were not savages, and
would not permit 80 gross violation OF the
law.
