soil greater distance can bo allowed,
because of the increased size of the

the fruit may be larger, the suckers

Acting President Dunlop Of the Washing
ton and Georgetown Railway Company has
made. to the stockholders of his corporation
directly. and to the public indirectly,
statement to the difficulty he had with
the District Commissioners, the Police
Court and a good many other powerful
forces because of his attempt to run the
company's cable cars through the Labor
Day parade. That MIR. Dunlop should be
anxious to set himself right with the COM
muhty is entirely natural but before he
will be entirely right he may have to ad-
init that on the occasion in question he was
entirely wrong and that in the statement
he made public on Saturday he avoided
anything like contact with a real issue. In
his specious argument he asks the question
Who has the right to stop the cars?" and
then answers 1t by saying, Certainly not
a single member of the board of District
Commissioners. There are three members
OF that body, and it must require at least
two of them. in formal session, to perform
any official act" From this a person I'M
acquainted with all Of the facts might i'm
agine that Commissioner Powelrs stoppage
Of the cars was without warning or reason
This trifiing contention is completely wiped
out by testimony which showed that Mr..
Dunlop knew that the board had issued an
order to stop the cars during the parade
1t Is well enough for Mr.. Dunlop. In his
capacity as an official Of the railroad COM
pany, to argue that control Of the cars
should rest entirely with the corporation

would permit the District Commissioners

Mr.. Dunlop municipal right the soundness
OF which has been upheld by courts the

rights deserving of all possible respect Is
