The Fifteenth Street Transfer Static

The Fifteenth Street Transfer Station
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Your timely editorial on the abominable
transfer system at the dea lily curve corner
of 10Th street and New York avenue is very
much in order. 1t Is distressing to stand
at this corner and see the number of mar
row escapes and hasty crossings made dur
ing almost any hour of the day. 1t is
criminal to compel passengers to run the
death gauntlet of passing trains to secure
transfers amid the noise and confusion
of the trains and changing of the bells, for
no other reason than that the traction
company imagines they are preventing the
unlawful transfer of ticket from a pas
senger to another person who may want
to steal ride. Go on in the cause of life
saving and prevent, If possible, the rebuild
ing OF the transfer stall and insist on the
right Of the passengers to receive their
transfer tickets from the conductor. Abol-
ish the station at this crossing If at no
other. JOHN NJ. THOMAS.

Newsboys and Children's Aid Society
The officers of the Newsboys and Chill
dren's Aid Society have prepared the fol-
lowing appeal:
The work of this society has grown so
rapidly in the last few months as to pre-
sent a very serious question to it's friends
and supporters. Besides the nightly crowd
or neWsboys in the gymnasium, the chill
dren at the home have increased within a
short time from thirty-five to sixty-five.
With tho care that is given to every child
personally and daily at the home this in
crease adds heavily to both the work and
the expense. Thus far 10 needy children
have been turned awav, but the limit of
the resources of the institution has now
been reached. Without further aid the So
ciety will be compelled to curtail its work
The misfortune that this would be to the
homeless waits of the city can rardly be
exaggerated. The society has Ilever ap-
peaied 10 the charitable public in vain, for
II never appeals without reason. Any who
may desire fuller Information are cordially
invited 10 visit the George Maulsby Memo
rial Home, 80 G street northwest, and
judge for themselves. Those who already
know the work as carried on there will
only need to understand its present urgent
wants. Contributions may be sent to treas
urer of the society Mrs. !. F. Masfarland
l127 F street northwest, or to the presi
dent. Mrs T. s. Childs. 1908 Connecticut

WEIGH, West Va, June Five
children were burned to death In the
residence Of Farmer White, late last
night. Enemies of the family are be-
lieved to have fred the house. Both
White and his wife we're away on
visit aud five children we're left alone
in the farm house. The children had
evidently retired it is supposed, when
the fire started. The children range
from four to thirteen years in age.
Bloodhounds, this morning, were used
to take up the scent from the ruins OF
the house, 10 trace the fiends who fired
the residence. The parents are frantic
with grief.
LArER-The horror Of the fire was
increased this morning by the suicide
of the father. When White was told
that his little ones had perished he
reproached himself for leaving them
alone, and procuring razor, he cut
his throat from ear to ear. The grief
of the widow and mother Is pitiful.
