STREET CROSSINGS.
Question as to Stopping Of Steam
RailWaya Argued.


The Court of Appeals today considered
the validity of the police regulation requir-
ing steam railroads to stop their trains be-
fore passing rapid transit street railway
crossings. The question came before .he
court on appeals noted in the District SU-
preme Court. the lower court refusing to
discharge an engineer Of the Baltimore and
Potomac and one of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad companies who had been
prosecuted in the Police Court for viola.-
Ing the regulation. Upon the conclusion of
the arguments today the court reserved its
decision.
After the engineers had beer fined in the
Police Court the men refused 20 pay the
nnes, and they were then sent 70 the work
house in default. Thereupon writs of ha-
beas corpus were sued out in their behalf, it
being contended by hercounsel of the re-
spective roads that the District Commits
sloners were without authority to make the
regula ton; that 1t was oppressive and un-
reasonable: that its enforcement would in
terfere with the carrying CT the United
States mails. and that the steam railroads
have the right Of way. Judge Cole dis
missed the writs, and refused to discharge
the men. admitting them to bail, however,
when the appeals were noted.
Meantime. the railroad companies had
applied to TIE Equity Court praying that
similar prosecutions in the Police Court
be enjoined. but Judge Cox refused the in
Junction. holding that criminal proceedings
cannot be enjoined. The railroad com
panies thereupon appealed from that de-
-c1sion, and all the cases We're considered
together in the appellate court today.
On behalf of the District Messrs s. T
. Thomas, A. B. Duvall, A. s. Worthirg on
and Nathaniel Wilson argued that the
Commissioners made the regulation under
the authority delegated them by Congress-
claiming that 1t is necessary for the safety
OF tie people, and denying that the regllla-
tion is unreasonable, oppressive or incapa-
hle of being observed. Messrs. Enoch Tot
ten and Hamilton & Colbert appeared, re-
spectiveiy, for the Baltimore and Potomac
and the Baltimore and Ohio companies, re-
asserting the contentious made by them in
the lower courts. They also asserted that
If the trains were stopped at street railway
crossings part of the trains would block
other crossings for at least two minutes,
thereby violating another regulation. In
fact. tney claimed the regulation, IL held

Proposed Reduction of Salaries.


To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Anent Senator Chambers 10 per cent re-
duction bill of clerks salaries, it may be
| said that if the exigencies of the public
service demand it, there will be but little
| II any. objection thereto. But the reduction
should be made all along the line where it
| can be constitutionally done, including the
| salaries of senators and representatives
Any other measure would be unsatisfac-
tory.
The department clerks are salaried men,
They have to labor with their hands and
minds regularly many hours each day.
In every sense they belong to the laboring
class These laborers recognize the fact
that they are no longer the henchmen of
politicians, and consequently they are no
longer their wards This relationship has
ceased. The clerks may now be lily or in
considerably treated. but they have some
power, and they can, perhaps, make this
power felt IL injustice is done them The
annual expense of the government in round
numbers is near five hundred million dol
lars. an average of more than ten millions
for each state Of the Union. A great part
OF this tax falls on the bone and sineW of
the country, whereas 1t should fall on its
aggregated wealth. The poor mans beer.
his tobacco, coffee, tea, clothes etc. etc
are taxed to help raise the money that iiIis
the treasury, and yet our lawmakers are
silent as to corporations and syndicates,
whose officers. under present conditions,
are not only paid princely salaries from
twenty-five to fifty thousand a year, but
are permitted to amass. by indirect and
illegitimate methods, their millions which
are exempt from taxation for the benefit of
the general government. Wise legislators!
How about an amendment to the Consti-
tuition and. thereafter. appropriate legisla-
tton that will subject this immense sum of
millions to a just contribution of its share
to the expenses Of the government? Why
should the country not be allowed a peace.

Chandler is respectfully called to the mil
