served long sentences. This Brown de-
clared was not correct.
Il never spent a day in prison in my

said he would be released If his employer

STREET CAR TRAVEL.
The Question of OvercrowdinG Dis
cussed by President Clark.

CUsSeO Dy FfeSiuent SEaFA.
Replying to the request addressed to the
District street railway companies by the
District Commission ers for suggestions as
to the better security of the travelling pub
lie, Mr.. I. P. Clark, president Of the Great
Falls Railway Company. has written as
follows to the Commissioners:
1.-The problem presented by the subject of
the overcrowding of street cars IS one
which for years past has afforded SEEM
ingly endless discussion. In the days of
the horse car the injustice of overtaxing
the animal was real. but it seems to me,
speaking in a general sense, that the OBJ
lection to carrying larger number of pas
sengeTs than the seating capacity of the
car, in this day of mechanical motive power
and excursion party sociability, is more the
oretical than real, and that any regulation
providing for the carrying of limited num-
Der could be enforced is doubtful. Refer
ring to the Washington and Great Falls
electric road it is largely an excursion
road and its patrons, as far as l know are
quite satisfied with the accommodations the
company has been able to give. Occasion
ally some of its cars have been overcrowd-
ed with 4 sociable and happy party, but
against the warning of the conductor and
other employees engaged to prevent II, where
a large number has been anticipated.
The company has considered the ques-
ton of overcrowdirg, both for the protec-
tlOn OF tSelI anu the puOuc, dIlu LAS uot
been able to originate or provide a means
to prevent the public from forcing itself on
the cars, and does not see how any legis-
lative acton will do so. During the three
years of it's existence the company has not
had single accident by reason of over
crowding, and with this record, and rely
ing principally upon the summer excursion
travel for its revenue, we believe any regu-
1ation made tending to interfere with that
travel would be unfair to the company and
its patrons

To the Editor Of The Evening star:
AS has been the custom for several years,
those persons belonging to the District Ep-
worth League have been invited to open
the series of meetings at Washington Grove
Camp. and special arrangements have been
made with the Baltimore and Ohio rail!
road authorities to carry them to and from
said place.
Recently about two hundred members of
the league went to the Grove in the vari-
Gus afternoon trains and after their re-
ligious exercises went to the depot to re-
turn to the city.
The train was scheduled to leave the
Grove at 1915 pm, and when it arrived
consisted of an engine and two coaches,
one of which was half baggage car. Into
one car and half these visitors were pack
ed as sardnes, and in this manner made
the journey home. Such management as
this disgusts the patrons of the road and
makes them eager for competing lines
electric steam.
The present management of this Metro
politan Branch is sadly out of tune, as
evidenced by the train schedule. For in
stance, any one. east of Gaithersburg de-
string to go west of that place in the fore
noon must get upon q local train and go
to Gaithersburg, there transfer to an ex-
press to that point and local afterward,
and then transfer again at Washington
Junction, changing cars twice in q distance
of forty miles upon the same road by
through passengers.
Under the supervision of Robert Garrett
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
began to develop it's local traffic and q
number of concessions were made to those
choosing to settle along the Metropolitan
Branch, but now the local traveller may
walk If he chooses, the railroad company
granting nothing.
One of the prominent officials stated that
1t would be better for the company not to
stop any trains at a certain station al
though the travel was heaviest there of
any, because It was necessary to keep so
much money as reserve fund against pos
stble accidents. Such reasoning wouli make
his road circle, in which would be no
stoppages.
