THE Hath STREET | IN
A Question Which the Capital Traction
officials Are Considering.
What the Potomac Company Agrees
pany IL to Determine.

The officials Of the Capital Traction Rail-
way Company have not as yet decided upon
the course to pursue In regard to the imme-
date operation of the 14th street line and
what Is known as the Georgetown line by
the underground system. Pending the
completion of the new power house of the
company 1t has been the purpose of the
company, as stated in The Star to run
cars on these lines by a current leased
from the Potomac Electric Lighting Com
pany.
The problem of which Mr. CARL, the
chief engineer of the traction road, Is now
considering is whether both these lines
can be operated on a satisfactory schedule
by the use of the current which is offered
the company. The Potomac company pro-
poses to furnish a current of at least 500
ampheres, but that is all they agree to do,
and the question of whether the cars can
be operated with such a current on the
desired schedule Is one for the railroad
company to decide.
All that the electric company has under
taken to do is to furnish a current of the
power above named, and now the officials
OF the railroad company are trying to de-
termine whether it will be advisable to at
tempt to operate the line by this current or
continue the horse-car service for five or
six weeks longer, by which time, it is ex-
pected, the power house of the company
will be completed.
1t is possible that the 14th street line
alone will be run by electricity, but in that
event the consideration arises as to what
disposition shall be made of the horses on
the 18th street line.
1t has ali elong been the intention of the
oHcers OF the company. as soon as the
work Of equipping the underground system
had advanced far enough to make it pos
sible to do without the horses on these
lines, that the animals would be at once
sh.%
pairing that line for the underground sys-
tenn could be begun.

FROM WHITE HOUSE TO CELL
Leon Bleus Arrested at the Executiy,
Mansions


Mansion.
Leon Bleus. twenty-four years old, came
to this city from Baltimore this morning,
hired horse and carriage and was driven
to the White House, where his peculiar
actions excited the suspicious of Policeman
John ]. Smith, and he was placed under
arrest. Bleus is now held prisoner at
the first precinct station for examination
as to his sanity. He'talks Of religion and
frequently refers to the assassination of
President Lincoln. He also mentions the
name of President Mckinley during his
rambling talk, and speaks of hanging, H.
Illustrating his talk by putting something
about his neck after the fashion of a hang
man. In his pockets he has letters and
papers, as well as a photograph of himself
taken in Philadelphia.
When Policeman Smith saw Bleus get
out of the hired carriage his appearance
indicated that he was not an ordinary call
er, so that when he reached the door the
officer questioned him to ascertain some
thing of his mission to the White House.
Il want to see the President" he said
land 1 came all the way from Baltimore"
Seeing he was not proper subject to
pay visit there. the officer concluded he
would arrest him, and, under a pretext
that he was going to take him to see the
President, he accompanied him to the
patrol box, near New York avenue and 18th
street.
He went in the patrol wagon to the first
p1 ecinct station without giving the officers
any trouble. but when placed in a cell he
was irclined to be noisy and talked of his
visit to the White House and of his arrest
by the policeman. The unfortunate man
imagined he~had been the pope, but said
he had experienced a change Of faith and
he had come to see the President about it..
He said he thought the President would
give him letter to the bishops of the
Lutheran Church. In this connection he
paid frequent refer ence to the killing Of
Lincoln, and said this was one of his rea-
sens for experiencing change Of faith.
incidentally he wanted to get some in
formation concerning his sister, who Is a
dressmaker. She has been working in the
White House. he said. and he is anxious to
see her. Bleus will be examined this after
neon by the police surgec ns.

ert Brookes place, had been told by Mr..

son that he (Smith) had wife in Virginia.

son named John Banks, and the purpose for
which 1t was given. witness said he had

REHEARING GRANTED.

Excise Bonrd Considering Appeals
From Previous Decisions.
The excise board gave rehearing today
in six cases in which applications for re-
tail liquor licenses were recently rejected.
The applicants were Margaret Curtin, EOS
1th street northeast; Thomas Pollard, 323s
M street; Harry F. McDevitt, $50 Sd street
southwest; Stephen Ford, 433 Sd street
southwest: Peter ]. Lynogh, 100 Sd street
southwest; Robert Hebsacker, 1890 7th
street, and Ernst Rees, 1920 LIST street
southwest. The board took the cases under
consideration and will dispose of the mo-
lions for a rehearing in few days.
Quite a fight was made by a number Of
colored men from South Washington in the
McDevftt case, DR.. c. W. Childs acting as
their spokesman, although each had a word
or two to say against the proposition to
grant McDevitt a new license.
They said the condition. of the poor and
criminal classes Of their race in South
Washington is almost wholly due to the
saloons and barrooms there and urged the
board to refuse a license in every case
where it is apparent that the existence Of
a saloon or barroom Will be detrimental to
the best interests and welfare of the negro.

while In pursuit Of a burglar, about 2
O'Clock Sunday morning. The sergeant
was in rear Of Max Rosenthars house, No

thai, not knowing what was going on,
opened his window and fired at the officer.
1t was only a short time after the SER
geant left the station that he entered the
alley as short cut to another beat, and he
found a back gate open. He entered the
shed and when an investigation had salts
fled him that there had been no robbery he
returned to the alley and looked up at the
backs Of the houses in order to locate the
house. On the shed the sergeant saw a
colored man, and ordered him to come
down. The man refused, when the ser
geant fired a shot at him. This frightened
the colored man, who rolled off the shed
and escaped by climbing fences. The re-
port of the shot aroused Mr.. Rosenthal,
with the result stated. Policeman Fathers
responded when he heard the reports of the
pistol shots, but the colored man had dis
