Another attempt TO plant European

situated in that great depression which
starting from the Gulf OF Sidra, APP
proaches Cairo.
Knowing the risks of his enterprise,
White started without telling any of
his party the object Of his journey. The
party, consisting Of himself and seven.

10 days to cover the $50 miles between
Siwah and Cairo. Arrived at Siwah, he.
was cordially received by the Egyptiani
mamour, or governor, and the chief
headman. But the Siwahs. OF whom the
great majority belong TO the Senoussb
sect, are intrusted with the task of pre-
venting all Europeans from proceeding
westward toward THpoli.
Four years ago Freuchman, dis
guised as an Arab, with an Arab cara
van, eluded their vigilance, got within
few hours journey of Jarabub, When
he was met by strong party of horse
men and he and all his company were
killed. The Frenchman had his eyes put
out and his throat cut.
The mamour informed Mr.. White that
It would be his duty TO prevent him by
force from going any further, and the
Senoussi sheikhs. though cordially
friendly, said they would not prevent
the Siwahs from attacking him if he
persisted in his intention. Under these
circumstances, and as all his own men,
with one exception. refused to proceed, ),
Mr.. White decided to return to Cairo.

liant, against Charles N. Hammett; decision

This City.

Miss Rena Bell Blaine. aged fifteen years,
niece of Mr.. Frank Blaine of No. 22 9th
street northeast. was suffocated by illumi-
mating gas in bed in her room last night.
The condition of the girl was not discov-
cred until the return of Mr.. Blaine to his
home shortly after midnight. Upon OPEN
ing the door he detected the odor of escap-
ing gas, and upon investigation found that
it came from the front hall room on the
second floor, occupied by his niece.
Miss Blaine was a pupil at the Towers
School and made her home with her uncle
Mr.. Blaine found her room door locked,
and, climbing through the transom. discov-
cred the girl lying upon the bed in an un-
conscious condition, but, as he thought
still alive. The key to the gas jet, which
was just over the bed, was turned about
half on. AS quickly possible DR.. Ed. f.
Pickford was summoned, but he arrived
too late to render medical aid. The death
had occurred before he reached the house
Coroner Carr investigated the circum-
stances of the unfortunate affair and de-
cided that an inquest was unnecessary, as
the death was undoubtedly the result of ac-
cident.

Cross-Line Street Car Service
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


Permit me to call attention, through the
columns of your paper, to the need for the
early restoration of the cross-line street
car service on Kenyon street, from 14th
and Park street to Brightwood avenue. In
asmuch as the Brightwood line now con-
meets with both the 7th and 9th street cars,
an underground electric line on Kenyon
street would largely solve the street car
question for Columbia Heights and Mount
Pleasant. the junction of Park street. Ken
yon street, Whitney avenue and 14th street
being the center of this section. There are
two apartment houses here which would
largely avail themselves of that means of
transit. As winter will be soon upon u.s.
and as the opening of 11th street and con-
tnuation of the Metropolitan line thereon
are far off, IL the fare from 14th and Ken
yon streets were put at cents by way of
Kenyon, Brightwood and 7th or 9th streets
(and 1t should be no more), the congestion
that is inevitable on the 14th street line
would be avoided, and as 1 said, the
street car question in this section settled
for some years to come. 1t would, besides,
give us direct street car service with
Brightwood, Takoma and the Soldiers
Home, a want which Is being more and
more felt every day. An underground up
to-date electric line on Kenyon street and
the reduction Of the fare ts all that 10
