BELT LINE TRANSFERS.
A Change In the System That VIII
Prevent It's Abuse

Change In the System Tint VIII
Prevent It's Abuse.
The change in the service of the Belt
Railroad Company, which it is proposed to
put into operation within a few days. will
alter very materially the transfer system
of that route. 1t will not be practicable
to make, as may be done now, a complete
circuit OF the belt on one fare. The rea-
son for this, as given to a Star reporter by
President Schoepf. is that this transfer
privilege is lamentably abused. MANY
patrons of the line are not content with
making complete circuit. but in the ex-
cursion season it is considered quite the
proper thing to board one of the Belt cars
and keep on making the circuit till the
patrons consider that they have had ride
enough.
OF course there is, said Mr. Schoepf. a
rule OF the company against this but IL
was difficult OF enforcement, because it
eXacted too much Of a memory task of the
conductor. He would have to keep in mind
the point at which the passenger boarded
his car. and this. Mr.. Schoepf said, was
too much for the average Belt line con-
ductor Under the old system, a man could
board Belt car at, say, 4th and p streets.
and ride all the way around and leave the
car at the point where he entered it He
can't do this under the new order of trans
fers. He can board the car at 4th and p.
follow this line to 18th and E, and there
receive transfer to the 18th street car.
He will not be entitled to transfer at 18th
and P, SO If he wishes to ride along p
from 11th to 4th, he will have to pay an
additional fare. Passengers will be entitled
to but one transfer. This method also
trusts a good deal to the memory of the
conductor, for he may forget that the pas
senger who boarded his car at 18th and E
presented transfer. and may issue a sec
ond transfer at 18th and P to go eastward
In the event that the memory of the con-
ductor Is not equal to the demands upon
it, the company proposes to issue trans
fer to those who wish it upon payment of
fare. This will leave nothing to the men,
DRY nor the discretion of the conductor.

teen Years.
Miss May Barker, residing at No. 1929
9th street northwest, attempted suicide late
yesterday afternoon by asphyxiation. Miss
Barker is pretty, nineteen years old and
follows the stage as a profession. Her last
engagement was at Baltimore. where she
posed as a living picture. When not filing
an engagement she lived at Washington,
having a room at the number indicated.
Yesterday afternoon, disconsolate from an
unhappy love romance, Miss Barker broke
mass Of glass into small fragments with
the evident intention of swallowing it. She
abandoned this method of death, and after
thinking the room turned ON the gas and
lay down. Not long after this William
Wlidman, carpenter, son of Burr NJ. Wild
man, landlord to Miss Barker, returned
from work He smelled gas. Locating it
as coming from Miss Barker's room, he
peered over her transom and took in the
situation. He called murder" and officer
u. w. Greer of the eighth precinct re-
sponded on the run. The door was broken
