Mt. Pleasant Railroads,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Permit me to say few words. through
your valuable paper in reference to the
article in a late issue Of The Star over the
signature of Mt. Pleasant Home Owner.
The extension of the Capital Traction
Company by single track loop via 14th
street. Howard avenue, 18th street ana
Park street to 18th street again is a happy
solution of our railroad problem for Mt.
Pleasant and the public generally, approx
ed by the District Comm ssioners, and with
out doubt will be favored by Congress. 1t
will do away with the shifting and banking
OF cars on 18th street. at a congested point,
where life and limb have been in danger
since the cable line was put in operation.
And further, by the single track loop
neither Howard avenue nor Park street
would be injured. This loop extension was
recommended by our railroad committee
and approved by the Citizens Association
Of Mt. Pleasant as the best thing to be
done, and in the end will give us the very
best of accommodations, and. venture to
say, when completed and the streets wild
ened, 1t will be more desirable and pleas
ant living on said streets than 1t is today.
The plan for loop at the terminus of
street car lines is a wise provision, advan-
taSeous to the companies and convenient
for the public-commendable in every way.
The loop is the only extension that will
be permitted to go across Mt. Pleasant.
The people on Howard avenue would OBJ
ject. and the Mt. Pleasant Citizens Assoc
citation have gone on record protesting
against double tracks on said avenue.
1 cannot think that railroad matters are
forced through with the lack of con-
science" as Owner intimates, but be-
lieve our Commissioners and committees
In Congress are men Of honor and capable
of performing the duties incumbent upon
them. and will do what is best for all the
people. not for one, two or three, but for
all. F.

CONTEST OVERATELePHoNE
Arguments Upon Application for an Injunc-
ton Filed by Hotel Fredonia.
Effort to Restrain Chesapeake and
Potomac Company From Remov-
ing a 'PhoRe-Points Raised.

Arguments were begun today before
Judge Cox. in Equity Court No. /, in the
Hotel Fredc MA telephone case. This is the
cause Instituted by Mr. William W. Danen-
hover, who seeks to restrain the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Company
from removing a telephone now in use at
the Fredonia, as 1t has threatened to do.
This notice on the part OF the company
was given for the reason. it was explained.
that the use of the telephone by the guests
of the hotel is a violation of contract.
After brief argument by Mr.. f. III.
homas, Of counsel for Mr.. Danenhower,
the hearing was adjourned until tomorrow.
The object of the telephone company. At
torney Thomas declared, is TO require the
F'redonia to put in slot machine. The
company proposes, SO 1t was argued, to
take out the telephone that has been used
by Mr.. Danenhower and require him to use
SOL machine, or none at all.
Attorney Leon Tobriner is associated
With Mr.. Thomas in the case. while At
torney Jere NJ. Wilson appears for the tele-
phone company.
The Company's Answer.
In its answer to the petition for an in
junction the telephone company makes de-
NAL that there was any implied contract
or understanding or agreement of any
KIND that the telephone In question was,
or would be, used by the guests Of the FIRE.
donna. 1t Is also denied that with the con-
sent OF the defendant corporation, such
service is, by the guests and travellers in
said hotel. regarded as a part of the SER
vice and modern facilities which they are
10 receive and obtain in and about the said
MOTEL, and necessary as part of the bust
ness thereof" 1t is also denied that the
use OF the telephone by the guests, travel
ers and clerks Of the hotel is the use by
the subscriber for the telephone in his
business OF keeping and maintaining a
motel, except so far as the clerks may use
the same In connection with and in trans
acting the business of the hotel.
A Further Contention
Continuing the answer, the telephone
company sets forth that the petitioner has
averred no facts which would warrant the
court in making any inquiry into the mat
ter as to whether the rates charged are
fair and reasonable: nor, it is declared. is
there any power in the court to fix the
rates or charges for telephone service as
GAINED by Mr.. Danenhower 1t is added
that the intended disconnection of the tele-
phone and the removal of il from the Free
donia is in accordance with the express
terms contained in the contracts between
the parties.

FIGHT ON THE WHITE LOT
Harry Hickerson, the, Victim of an Assault,
May Die.
Participants In sdhe ARRAY Claim
HfckcrsOn's lnjuaacs Were InAIct-
ed by ms Osvn Friends.

Edward Stare and William Waller, both
young men. were in the Police Court this
| morning for alleged assault. Each had n
badly dfscolored eye and seemed to be suf-
rer1ng some pain. The alleged victim,
Harry Hickerson.i could not appear, for the
| reason that he was in the Emergency Hos
pital' under treatment. While the doctors
think he will recover, there is a possibility
that he will die
The young men, it is alleged. engaged in
g. fight in the White Lot Saturday night
about midnight, and Hickerson was left in
the bushes to die, the police allege- Hick-
erson's home Is at 40 K street. Saturday
night. 1t is alleged, he was in the "Divi-
sion" with some friends, when he became
engaged In war of words with Waller
ana others. Adjournment was had to the
W mite Lot, where 1t was proposed to settle
the dispute. Just what happened after they
reached the park will probably not be def
initely ascertained until the case is heard
In court.
It was about o clock when young man
called at the Emergency Hospital and said
that there was a man in the park appar-
entity dying. Attaches Of the hospital hur-
Harry Hickerson in an unconscious condi-
tion. A few minutes later Hickerson was
patient in the hospital.
Story of the Assault.
1t was several hours before he recovered
from the effects Of his severe beating and
kicking sufficiently to talk, and then he
mentioned names Of parties who had been
engaged in the fight. Sergt. Moore and
Precinct Detective Kilmartin, who made an
investigation of the case. caused the arrest
Of Share and Waller Their black eyes
told the story Of an ARRAY, and they frank
ly admitted that they had participated In
the White Lot fight.
He Nickerson} wanted fight and he
got it" remarked Share.
But I didn't kick him. Waller said
when accused Of having used his feet.
A Peacemaker's Experience.
The prisoners were taken to the first
precinct and held until this morning. Ed
ward MINIS was also arrested, but was
soon afterward released. During the in
vestigation the police learned that young
man named Samuel Clinedinst went to the
scene of the fight when he heard Kicker
sons cries, and 1t was probably because
of the part he took in the affair that the
victims life was spared. While Clinedinst
was acting as peacemaker, Share, 1t is al
legged, used a knife on him, and some
matches In his pocket saved him a severe
wound.
Share and Waller. in conversation with
the officers, said that Hickerson had sew
eral friends with him when they went over
to the lot, and these friends took part in
the assault on him. Hickerson, they said,
was kicked by his own friends, who mis-
took him for Waller when he was on the
ground. The case will be heard in the Po-
lice Court when sHickerson is able to APP
pear.
The bail in the case Of Share was re-
duced by Judge &cot6 to $500, and 1t is ex-
pected he will beTeleased during the day.
