CHARGED WITH EMBEzzLEMENT.
Troubles OF the Peoples Trans
portation Company.

John w. Patterson, coiored man Of
considerable business reputc, was arrested
yesterday afternoon upon a warrant sworn
out by John e. Cooper, charging him with
the embezzleIaent OF 81 I,o0o. He was
later taken into court and upon advice
of Assistant District Attorney MIllowny
was released upon his personal bonds
pending An Investigation of the matter
The trouble which resulted in the ar
rest of Patterson has been brewing for
nearly year among the stockholders Of
the Peoples Transportation Company, OF
which Patterson is president. The COM
pany has had considerable standing, and
was engaged in conducting the excursions
of ooIored people to Glymont and other
points down the river 1t was incOr-
porated several years ago, and purchased
the steamer Lady OF the Lake, which
was burned TO the waters edge while in
dock here about two years ago. The boat
was insured for $4,000, but the insur
ance has never been paid over, the com
panies having refused to pay the sum
pending an investigation The statement
has been made that the boat was set
on fire, and it was alleged that Patter-
son was interested IN having it burned,
OUT nothing DdS ever Dtcu 70
prove this assertion
The company then made contract with
certain Baltimore parties to purchase the
Jane Moseley, and have the use of the
steamer while 1t was being paid for
on the 4th of last July, the Transports
ton Company had arranged to carry many
hundreds OF excursionists to Glymont.
After tickets had been sofd, and the boat
loaded to It's capacity, and everything in
readiness, the word was given to go, but
the boat did not move. The captain OF the
steamer had refused, acting upon orders
from the owners, to take the boat from
it's noorings, on account OF the failure
of the company TO carry out its con-
tract in the pa yTnent OF certain moneys.
After considerable difficulty and engen
dering much hard feeling, the trip had
to be abandoned, and the Jane Mosciey
was taken to Baltimore
Following this the Transportation Com
pany brought suit against the baltimore
PARTIES for damag ges, and subsequent set
tlement was effected by the payment of
81 900 1t is alleged that Patterson ac-
eepted the amount on behalf of the CON-
pany without consultation with the d.
Tecsors or stockholders, and it is further
more claimed that he never made any ac-
counting of the same. 1t is the alleged
Patterson is charged.
Patterson denies the charge and has re-
tained Thomas L. Jones as his counsel

ONE IN FOTR.

The amendment to the Sanitary Code pro-
posed by the president Of the Health Board. pro-
vding that at least one in four Of surface rail-
road cars shall be closed, Is just recognition
Of individual rights. Ever since the open cars
came into general use they have provided a
topic for discussion in every key, from panegyric
through indignation to bitter wrath. The con-
troversy is livelicst In early spring and late
autumn, when the weather is far more capri
cious than the transportation companies are So
ictous to adjust their service to its variations.
The law has undertaken to protect passengers at
those seasons from gross oppression, and has
to some extent succeeded; but during the sum-
mer 1t leaves them to shift for themselves
1t Is natural that there should be differences Of
opinion as to the merits of open cars in mild
weather. Some persons are constituted as to
like all the fresh air they can get, without car
ing much under what conditions they get IT.
They prefer an open car even In n drenchng
rain, and do not mind the Tapping Of q wet and
nasty curtain against their knees or the spray
which is driven past its edges. Many men and
most women, on the contrary, even now, when
it Is fashionable to be robust detest sloppy sur
roundings and would always take a dry car
on a wet day II they could, while others, from
various motives. would make the same choice In
all weathers 1t Is in the interest Of these that
President Wilson has proposed his amendment
which certainly is not of an extremely radical
nature. One closed car to three that are open
is not an excessive concession to those who
may be in a minority, but who probably con-
stitute at least one-fourth Of the population 1t
leaves large liberty 10 the companies and gives
the open-car cont agent little reason to grumble,
while 1t guarantees shelter from the elements
to those who are willing to wait few minutes If
necessary. We think the amendment ought to

fact. n necessity Of so reducing the duties ON
many classes Of imported articles as to make
such an increase Of internal taxation requisite
for two and half years Bur the Senator ap-
peals to feeling which Is almost universally
shared In business circles when he urges that
there ought not to be left any doubt whatever
of the sufficency Of the revenue. even for the
first year, in order to place the credit of the
Government and the soundness Of the currency
beyond question. That first step Is indeed nb-
solutely necessary to the restoration of prosper
ity and If it shall I've shown that this end can
not be secured by such higher duties on imports
as were proposed by the House. there would be
no difference Of opinion among patriotic ana
intelligent men as to the prOprety Of increasing

many more in Great Britain. Some additional
