/, Sixteenth Street and the <Herdics.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Noticing in your valued paper Of last
Saturday evening an article signed "A Leg
weary and Footsore' Sufferer and also
that this same tired and mad individual is
a woman (for SO she declares), i wish to
make brief comment on the article. 1t is
true that the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia do not always do what
the people of the city Of Washington think
they should do, but suppose they had in
this instance inserted a clause in the H.
cense issued to the herdic people providing
that they should not stop the service of
their vans without giving q three mouths
notice. what good would that have done
the 'iegweary and footsore sufferer
Would that be time for her to start a new
transportation company for the conve-
nience of the good people of 10th street
this isolated district? Or does she merely
desire the three months notice so AS to
prepare her mind for the new method of
getting down town.? Not being an ardent
admirer of woman's logical powers, l
merely wish to draw forth this Woman's
reasons. If she will reply to this. Now,
may be wrong not being a physician, but
1t seems to me that any cars in the city,
even the Anacostia "bob-tails." are more
conducive to health than the foul, narrow
long, low herdteS which for years have
sergers as welli4s an eyesore to the peo-
pie of Washington. That Inconvenience
which this sufSaDer in one breath COM
plains of and in! the next condones-the
time taken in getting down town-does not
in my opinion exist nearly as much in the
present means of6transportation as it did
under that of i4Te herdics. I will wager
that two persons starting from the same
house on 18th Street at the same time, one
taking the herddoi and 'theY other4 the 18th
street car and doth going to the corner
of 18th and r streets, will find that one
will have to wait for the other-and it
won't be the one who, took the heroic who
will do the waiting. - : -. s.+.

THE EMERGENCY HOSPITAL.
Present Contributing Members VIII
Not Lose Their Vote.


Not Lose Their Vote.
By an amendment to the constitution the
medical staff of the Emergency Hospital
some time ago struck out that clause re-
lating to contributing members. This was
made necessary, 1t is said, by reason Of the
fact that at the last election a number Of
contributing members were rushed In for
the purpose Of controlling the election At
that time the constitution provided that
the staff should be elected by the contrib
uting members, and certain faction In
the hospital undertook to control the elec-
ton. 1t is said. by voting a number of new
members. By the new order of things the
present contributing members are not de-
pr1Ved OF any OF their powers or privileges
The amendment Is not retroactive by any
means, and the present contributing mem
bers are entitled to all their privileges un-
III the day OF the next election, when they
go out of Office. There will be no such
thihg as contributing member, and the
medical staff will be elected BY the board
of directors.
