FLAGMEN AT CROSSINGS
Provided for by the District COmmis-
siOners Today.


siOners Today.
The Commissioners this afternoon amend
ed the Police Regulations by providing that
rapid-transit railroad companies should
employ fagmen at all points where their
respective roads intersect.
This Is the culmina ton of an agitation
that has been going on for some months.
The Commissioners first called the matter
to the attention of the railroad companies
where the Metropolitan crosses the tracks
of the Capital Traction Company at 7th
and streets northwest. The president of
the Capital Traction Company favored the
plan, and said his company was ready to
comply with such regulation. The order,
however, was resisted by the then presi-
dent of the Metropolitan company, and
after several hearings the subject was
dropped, and nothing came of it. When
the new president of the Metropolitan road
came into office the subject was revived.
He had a conference with the president of
the Traction company, and the result OF
the interview was the establishment Of a
code of signals for the government CT the
trains. This action was reported to the
Commissioners. and they seemed well
satisfied with the arrangement, and 1t
was thought nothing more would be heard
of flagmen. Chairman Babcock, however,
destroyed all calculations in this respect.
He had seen several narrow escapes at
these crossings, and in a letter to the Com
miSSoners called attention to the urgency
of providing f1agmen at these crossings, in
the interest of the public safety. Then
again the subject was discussed, and the
Commissioners determined to insist upon
lagmen. The police regulations did not
cover the case, and 1t was thought best to
ask Congress for legislation on the sub
ject. But the attorney for the District ad-
vised against this, and recommended that
the police regulations be amended to
cover the case. This was accordingly done
today, the amendment being to section %
of article 10 by the addition of the follow
ing:
And from and after the direction of the
Commissioners to any street railroad COM
pany to station a f1agman at such :rossing
1t shall be unlawful for any motormln or
gripman to run or operate any motor or
grip car over such crossing in the absence
OF fagman. Any person violating the
provisions Of this section shall on conyic-
tion thereof be punished by a fine of not
less than five dollars nor more than twen-
ty-fve dollars"
According to law this regulation must be
published for thirty days, which would
bring the operation of the new order March

A Green House Robbery.

For some time past Mr.. Fred. H. Kramer,
who has large green houses in Anacostia.
has been missing hundreds of his finest
blooms. until he finally came to the conclu
sion that an organized raid was being
made on his stock. For a month he has
been keeping a close watch on the place,
and marked a number Of his flowers with
a peculiar sign, so that he would be able
to identify them IL he saw them again.
AS result of the investigation warrants
were served yesterday on c. M. Schickier,
who keeps a flower store on Capitol Hill,
and George w. Stamp, one of Mr.. Kramer's
employees. A number of roses which Kra-
mer claimed belonged to him were found in
Schfckler's place. The latter insisted that
he had bought them in good faith from u
man who, he said, lived in Alexandra.
The description he gave of the man tailed
with that Of Stamp, and Stamp was ar
rested on the charge of petty larceny
Schickler gave collateral in the sum of S25
for his appearance in the Police Court on
the charge Of receiving stolen properly.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
The Bowen School

"A large delegation of colored men from
South Washington called upon the Com
nlssioners this morning to present a petit
tion opposing the removal of the Anthony
Bowen school.
Commissioner Ross informed the deleea-
tlon that the Commissioners had M
thought OF changing the school. The
school board had reported against the
change, and the Commissioners would cor
tainly take no action unless recommended
by the school board. He said the improve
ments to the school were going on. and no
change would be made. 1t would require
an act Oh Congress, anyhow, to make any
change.
Suburban Railroad.
The bill to reincorporate the Suburban n
Railroad Company has been adversely re-
ported by the Commissioners. This road
was chartered In 1892, but failed to exist as
provided after lapse of six months, and
the charter was accordingly nullifed. The
projectors now want to build the road, it
Is said. but the Commissioners are opposed.

better be subserved by extending existing
city lines.
