EXPERIMENT A FAILURE.
A Citizens Petition Against the Cap
ifaI Railway Compnny.

1fd1 huiiWAy company.
The District Commissioners yesterday
received a lengthy protest from the citi-
zens of Southeast Washington and resi-
dents of Eleventh Street, near the Navy
Yard, opposing the granting of further
time to the Capital Railway Company in
which to experiment with it's under
ground electric system.
The paper is signed by twenty-eight
property owners, who declare that the
button or Brown system is complete
failure, and they, therefore, demand the
installation of another system, such as
that now in use on the Capital Traction
and Metropolitan Railroads.
The protest is accompanied by an elab-
crate memorandum, showing the amount
of work done each day since the expert
ment was begun, and, according to this
statement, not one day has passed with
out work of some kind being done on the
road. In many cases, the petitioners say,
the cars had to be stopped and the con-
tact boxes opened and wires attached in
order to get the road to work.
On May il passengers were forced to
leave a car and push ii In order to get
it to- work. On May 10 a cup exploded
near the corner of Tenth and NJ Streets.
The box caught fire and the flames rose
as high as five feet in che air Another
cup exploded on the 1st of June and on
the 18th of the same month two live
boxes burned. Many other instances are
cited similar TO the foregoing, and also
a report of the fatal accident on the Asy-
lum hill, in which one man was killed and
several persons wounded by the dash of
a car down the steep grade of the road
through Anacostia.
