THE SPEED OF STREET CARS
Investigation of Complaints Against
the Metropolitan Road.
Rate Allowed by Law Exceeded in
Several Iustanees-what the
CompaDy's Officials say.

Influenced by complaints that the cars
Of the Metropolitan Railroad Company We're
running at rate which exceeded the
maximum legal limit, the Commissioners
have ordered the police to keep sharp
lookout tor sUch infractiuns OF tie law.
For some time complaints have reached
the Commissioners regarding the rate Jf
speed the Metropolitan Company allows
its cars to 90. Attention was Called III
particular To Four-and-l -half street, be-
tween Missouri and Maine avenues, Ninth
street. G to n, and East Capitol, between
First and Lincoln Park.
The Commissioners, TO ascertain exactly
at what rate the company complained
against was running, detailed the bicycle
squad Of policemen 20 keep pace with the
cars and by means OF cyciOmeter take
note OF the rate OF speed. The pOt'ce-
men spert 4 whole day in thus following
the cars and at the close several OF
them reported that the cars had exceed

hour outside.
1t Is probable that the Commissioners
Will take no note OF these infractions,
further than to call the attention Of the

reported to run, and % warn them 70

Supt. Coleman, of the Metropolitan Rail
road, said last night that while in Il
few Isolated instances the cars might = x
ceed the legal rate, it most surely was
not a general thing. In fact, that com
pauy has a special rule governing the
running OF a car too rapidly, and any
motorman violating the rule is liable 60
dismissal.
TO show how careful we are on thi,
point, : he continued, we allow a schedule
of fo-ty-two minutes for a run or six ana
one-haH miles, that is at the rate Of eight
miles an hour. II any car comes in ahead

cannot do so satisfactorily, they are pan
ished. notice to this effect is placed

The superintendent further said that he

Wheeling, W. Va, Aug. 23.-Itis reported
here this morning that the striking miners
have secured the services Of Judge okey
johnson as advisory counsel. and that, on
his advice, they viii try to secure injunc-
tions against the operators prohibiting
them from employing new men in the
places OF the strikers and to prevent them
from using certain for ms Of coercion alleged
TO have been used TO keep men at work.

Judge johnson is dean of the law school
OF the West Virginia State University,
was formerly a member OF the supreme
court OF tie state, and has been for years

believe Judge johnson has good grounds for
his belief that such an injunction can be
made to hold, or he would not attempt it.
The strike situation generally shows No
