How the Glen Echo Road Made Con.
nectiOns With Its Rival. -.t 81.

The trouble between the Glen Echo and
the Great Falls electric railways seems to
be at standstill Just at present. though
the situation is likely to assume another
phase at any time. In the extension of the
tracks of the Glen Echo railroad prepara-
lions were made at the south end of the
line to connect with the tracks of the Great
Falls road. and use then: as far as Cabin
John bridge 1t seems as though the fran
chise of the Glen Echo road originally gave
them a right Of way south Of the Conduit
road from Glen Echo to Cabin John bridge,
ard this right was transferred to the Great
Falls road. so 1t is understood, upon the
condition that the Glen Echo road could
use the same tracks if an extension was
desired. The latter road has extended its
terminals on the north to Chevy Chase
Circle. and at the south to Cabin John
bridge. The Conduit road was prepared
FOR the railroad crossing, and everything
was iii rea aJineSS to make the connection at
the tsrminel, wheII the Great Falls road
interposed some objection. 1t Is understood
that the Glen Echo officials were ready sew
eral times to make the connection, but the
attempts were frustrated by the Great
falis road by placing car just at the
point where the connection was to have
been made. The connection has now been
made, though the Glen Echo road was
forced to steal a march on the other road
after IL o'clock. and the laborers worked
hard Before morning the connections had
been made. much to the surprise of the
Great Falls officials. who did not antici-
pate such a move. This is the status Of the
situation at present. and though the Great
rails road may accept the result without
struggle, 1t seems hardly likely that 1t

Why COachman Was Dfscharged
From the Weather Bureau.
The removal of Coachman Pembroke
Richardson from the weather bureau has
feen the subject Of much gossip during
the past few days. 1t was said that the
Cause of his removal was his objection to
wearing suit of livery that had been
formerly worn by negro driver OF the
carriage used by the chief Of the bureau.
Mr.. Willis b. Moore. the chief Of the bu-
reau, states that this version of the affair
is erroneous: that Richardson was the SUBJ
ject of a good deal of complaint on ac-
count of his many protracted absences
from duty. 1t was found that he was
working his farm near Forestville, Nd,
at the same time that he was trying to
hold down a position in the bureau. Last
year he got thirty days annual leave,
thirty days of sick leave on a doctors
certificate and thirty days additional sick
leave. also on physicians certificate.
Once when a messenger was sent to his
farm to see if he was getting better he was
found plowing corn. At another time the
messenger did not find him at home, but
learned that he was away working for an
other farmer. He was removed January
5, and it was reported that he would ap-
peal to Senator German to he reinstated.
Mr.. Moore wrote to the senator that Rich
ardson had been removed for general in
efficiency, and that the papers in the case
were at his convenience if he should see
fit to investigate the matter. Nothing
further has been done in the matter.

Leave for Policemen

Members of the police department are
considerably worried over an item in the
appropriation bill concerning their leaves
Of absence. In the bill of last year this
item said the members of the force were
entitled to twenty days leave with pay. the
time of such leave to be determined NV the
Commissioners. This year this provision
has been changed so as to leave the num
Der of days in. the, discretion of the Com
missioners. Acc cording to the provision the
members are entitled to leave with nav f,r
such time, not exceeding twenty days, as
the Commissioners may determine. Just
what this means the tofficcrs would like to
know. There was "a time when the police
were entitled to only ten days leave, but
frequently, 1t is said, the higher officials
were given as many as thirty days. Speak
ing Of the matter to a Star reporter a no.
liceman said he feared this new provision
was intended to operate against some
members Of the force. So far as he was
concerned he thought the men were all en-
titled to the same amount of leave, and he
could see no reason why policemen should
be given less than others employed bv the
District government.

BOARD OF TRADE.
Business Transacted At the Meeting
Of the Directors Last Nixht.

The monthly meeting of the board of
directors Of the board of trade was held
last night at the rooms of the board, Presi-
dent 8. W. Woodward in the chair. Frank
b. Noyes. Frank X. Raymond and c. E.
wood were elected members of the board
Of trade.
The matter Of the naval militia, which
was referred to the committee on public
order, Of which Major George H. Harries
is chairman, was reported back to the
directors with a favorable recommendation,
and the directors gave 1t their hearty in
dorsement.
Secretary Wight laid before the board a
communication from the president of the
Bar Association stating that Justice Cox.
who was invited by the Bar Association
and the board of trade about year ago to
prepare new code of laws for the District,
Is now engaged in that important work.
This gave the directors pleasure.
The directors passed a resolution request
Ing the committee on public schools to ar
range for suitable exercises by the public
schools Of the city on Washington's birth
day, which 1t is hoped will be as successful
as the exercises last year. The committee
Is actively engaged in preparing for this
patriotic occasion. 1t is proposed to have
a member of the board of trade to either
preside or make an address at the exercises
at each of the public schools of the city.
The desire is that the business men of the
city may be brought in closer touch with
the public schools.
Gratifying reports were made to the
directors by Secretary Wight regarding the
payment of dues by members. This is in
the face of the increase in dues from So to
so. Very few members of the board have
severed their connection because of this
increase.
The annual reception of the board of
trade, to be held at the Arlington next
Tuesday evening, promises to be even more
brilliant and enjoyable than that of last
year or of past years. A large number Of
acceptances of invitations have been re-
ceived from members of Congress. judges
Of the Supreme Court and the District
judiciary. The committee of arrangements
for the reception will hold a meeting at 3
o'clock this afternoon
