disposition toward further Improvement
until checked by a break Of per cent In
Sugar which occurred shortly after the
beginning of business. The stock later
recovered per cent Of the loss. The de-
cline was due to stop orders being caught
and only resulted in a temporary loss OF
activity in the general list. Occasionally
realizing sales at higher figures gave the
general market somewhat irregular ap-
pearaEce.

LEGISLATION NOT NECESSARY.
President Crosby Discusses Overload
ing of street Cars.

Ing of Street Cars.
Mr. o. T. Crosby, president of the George
town and Tenleytown Railway Company, in
reply to a request from the District Com
missioners for suggestions in the matter,
says that in his opinion legislation respect
ing the crowding Of cars is not necessary
or advisable. He also says the custom of
having standing loads is universal in
the United States that all car materials are
made of strength proportioned to a load
consisting of a standing crowd on the cars,
and that in the end there would be no
greater factor of safety to be found in the
materials used than is the case today.
Furthermore continues Mr.. Crosby, II
am of the opinion that just in proportion
as the public authorities throw numerous
regulations around the operations of pub
lie conveyances they thus in a measure
assume the responsibility for the safe con-
duct of passengers and in that measure
VIII the parties controlling these convey
anceS be relieved from responsibility. The
result would be disastrous to the interests
OF such persons as must from time to time
suffer bodily harm while on public convey
ances. The public funds, We well know,
are never to be diverted to the payment of
damages in such cases. On the other
hand, a corporation which may be able to
SHOW complete following of extensive sys-
tenn or regulations will be able oftentimes
TO escape responsibility which otherwise
would be fixed upon them by the common
law rules governing the responsibility of
public carriers
Mr.. G. E. Abbott, president of the Wash
lhgton, Alexandria and Mount Vernon road
mas informed the Commissioners that al
though he does not See that he has any
suggestion to make, it would give him
pleasure to go over the subject with them
at any time they may see fit to suggest.

Commissioners to examine the systems Of

Their Investigations were not confined to
the business methods of the cities they WIS.,
tied, but were extended to the main offices
of some of the principal steam railroad
systems, particularly of the Boston and
Maine and the Pennsylvania companies.
They obtained quite amount of infor-
nation relative to the methods Of assess
ing and collecting taxes and of auditing
accounts, and saw a number of ingenious
and useful devices for facilitating and ex-
pediting official business.
They are Of the opinion that while many
of the present methods of conducting busi-
ness in the District offices are abreast of
the times, they obtained a great deal of
Information which would be of service to
the District authorities in any considera-
tion they may give to the improvement of
the methods of conducting the District
business, and justfhes the Commissioners
In taking this means to obtain an insight
into the way things are done elsewhere
Ihe intense heat which prevailed in the
cities they visited, as well as in Washing

BALLOON ASCENSION AT RIVER
VIEW.-An immense throng of Sunday ex-
cursionists journeyed to River View yester-
day to witness a daring balloon ascension
and parachute drop, seemingly from the
very sky itself. Miss Retta Danzell of the
Grace Shannon Balloon Company, a pretty
and dainty little woman was the aeronaut,
and a very successful one she is, too.
When the heat-infiated balloon jumped
heavenward, about 6:30 O'Clock, Miss Dan
Zell was seated on the parachute trapeze,
quite complacently viewing the crowd of
anxious spectators below, WHO, in the
language of some of those present, were
rubber -necking'' at the rapidly diminish
worth. The balloon sailed away TO the
northward, and at an estimated height of
5000 feet Miss Danzell slipped the para
chute rope and down came the gracefully
floating canopy, bearing it's lone passenger
safely to the earth mile or more from her
starting point. Captain Randall has
ranged with Miss Danzell to make ascen
sions on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday
evenings of this week.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The late interesting session of the N. e.
A. at the national capital is an indication
of the earnest, intelligent and enthusiastic
work that is being done not only in
Washington, but throughout the United
States, for the benefit of the young and
their mental advancement, and it is a re-
Election upon section that lies at the very
door of the national capital, and through
which, in fact, great portion of the
southland travel passes, and which occu-
pies a historic position that entities it to
better things, that this subject of child
education is treated with such slight atten-
ton, and that no more attention is paid to
the subject, for to the casual observer it
appears that SO long as the school year is
filed and the same old routine gone
through with. it is all that is considered
necessary. We will not probe into the SUBJ
ject and try to place the responsibility for
this state of affairs at present, but it is a
fact admitted by all who give the matter
thought that the school methods pursued
In Alexandria county, or, at least, in that
portion which falls under the writer's OBJ
serVation, are many years behind the pres
ent enlightened methods pursued in other
centers and thereby detract much from
the effectiveness of the teachers efforts
and the results obtained. There may have
been a time when the present condition was
up to date. but that time has long since
passed into history. One of the curious
tIllIlSS IL tIdl 81 llidHy CHlfuI ell are Sclil "
the public schools of Washington and, in
stead of arousing the pride of those re-
sponsible, and inducing them to remedy
this matter, SO there will be no necessity
for this step, they quietly accept the fact
without protest. The school tax seems to
be sufficient, but if not, the results aimed
at are worthy of the price paid, and no
right thinking person would object for a
moment to an increase, if thereby the eff
cheney of the schools could be increased.
Many eyes turned toward Alexandria
county as suburban residence locality to
the city of Washington, owing to its acces
sibility, and one of the first things inquired
about is what are the school facilities?
The taxpayers should see to it that a prop
er carrying out of the school laws is had
and that those intrusted with the execution
of the same fulfill all requirements.
