The District Commissioners today re-
turned to Mr.. Mcmillan, chairman OF the
Senate District committee. Senate bill 2918,
relating to the Washington, Woodside and
Forest Glen Railway Railway and Power
Company. They recommend that the fol-
lowing be added to the first section of the
bill:
THAT nothing contained herein shall op-
crate to relieve the Brightwood Railway
Company Of any of its charter obligations.
limitations, requirements and restrictions.
all of which shall remain in full force and
effect, and shall be binding in all respects
upon any company operating cars upon the
route Of the said Brightwood Railway Com
pany."
Three sections are added to the bill by
the Commissioners. The first of these pro-
vides that prior to the running of any cars
Of the said Washington, Woodsde and
Forest Glen Railway and Power Company

to the District. return wire OF equal
capacity to the feed wire. and similarly
along said tracks, and each car used on
said route within the District shall be
equipped with the double trolley.
Also, that no portion Of the electrical
circuit on the route in question shall, un-
der any circumstances, be allowed to pass
through the earth, and neither pole of any
dynamo furnishing power to the line shall
be grounded, the provisions of this section
to be carried OUT subject to the approval Of
the Commissioners.
The next section added by the Commits
sioners provides. a penalty for each viola
ton of any of the provisions of the act,
fine Of not less than So nor more than $500
to be recovered In any court in the District

the bureau fo tho Commissioners TO have

conjecture. x
While the snow Is to a certain extent

GLEN ECHO RAILROAD,
An Injunction and Condemnation
Proceedings Over q Right Of Way

An Injunction and Condemnation
Proceedings Over a Right of Way,
The work of building a continuation of
the Glen Echo railroad from its present
terminus above the entrance to what is
known as the grounds of the National
Chautauqua north to Cabin John bridge
has been interrupted by legal proceedings
Mr.. Edwin Baltzey has procured an injunc-
ton from the court at Rockville to prevent
the laying OF the tracks on strip of land
some two hundred feet long which lies be-
tween the present terminus of the road and
the section over which the managers of
the road have secured from Messrs Bob
btnger the right of way.
Mr.. Bahzey~controls the land in question.
and no agreement has been reached with
him on the part of the railroad company
as to the occupation of the land by car
tracks. Mr.. Ough, the representative of
the capitalists who now are in control Of
the road, has applied to the court at Rock
vile for authority to have their land con-
demned. 1t Is the purpose Of the company
10 MAKE use OF strip thirty feet wide and
two hundred feet long
Pending a decision of the question the
construction OF that section of the road will
be suspended. It Is stated, however that
the section to the north of the tracks has
already been laid, and it is stated by Mr.
Ough that soon as the rights Of the
company as to this strip OF land Is deter
mined the extension will be completed and
cars will be run from Chevy Chase Circle
through to Cabin John bridge.

EXAMINED WITHOUT NOTICE.
An Innovation Introduced in the
Treasury Department.


An unexpected examination of treasury
clerks was held a few days ago by Theo-
dore Deland, examiner for the Treasury
Department. There are fourteen clerks in
the office of Auditor Brown for the War
Department Who receive $1,000. 500 and
$40. These Clerks were summoned to ap-
pear before the examining board of the
treasury. Mr.. Deland. It is said, notified
them that the department desired to make
some promotions. To ascertain who should
be promoted it had been decided to give
them an hour in which to write a letter on
Washington as place of residence"
Four Of the fourteen clerks had reasonable
excuses to give for not being prepared to
stand the examination. bat ten others wrote
the letters expected of them.
Mr.. Deland said today: las result of
that examination three of the clerks who
wrote good letters have been ordered pro-
noted"
Regarding the charge that he had been
imperious In the way he had conducted the
examination, Mr.. Deland said that he had
examination in a certain time He carried
out his orders. To have stopped to argue
the question of the advisability of such an
examination would have, he said, been in
disobedience OF his orders.
Assistant Secretary Vanderiip promptly
said he had ordered the examination. Too
much time, he said, is wasted In preparing
for examinations of that class OF clerks.
He does not see that the department Is bet
tered by giving weeks to prepare for sim
pie examination. He believed that the test
TO which the clerks were put was the best
had ability. he said. he ought to be able to
show II without warning and time for
preparation. He said that he had given
Mr.. Deland q certain time In which to ex-
AMINO the clerks and Mr.. Deland had fol-
loved orders 49,

NEW YORK, January 3l.-Continued

FORECAsTING THE VOTE.
Republicans Likely to SOIidIy Sum
port Committee ReDOrt

port Committee Report.
1t Is believed that the republicans will
stand almost solidly with the WAYS and
means committee in opposition to the Tel
Ter resolution. Under the terms of the
special rule adopted. the vote will occur at
5 o'clock.
one Of the majority leaders stated to a
Star reporter that the only republicans he
had heard Of who would vote with the
democrats were Linney and Pearson of
North Carolina
Mr.. Linney told Star reporter that he
would vote against the committee because
he believed the resolution to recite the
truth and because his people thought SO.
He would vote with his party, he said. on
purely political questions but this was a
business question, not political, and he felt
free to follow his convictions
There may be a few other republicans
who Will vote in favor of the resolution.
put they are not numerous and are keep
ing very quiet.
A complicated controversy will probably
follow the vote in the House. 1t is expected
that the gold men will hold to the position
that by the failure of the House to concur
in the Teller resolution it will be practically
declared that the government securities are
payable in gold. 1t is claimed that il the
Teller resolution was needed to make these
bonds payable in gold, then the converse
is true and the failure of the resolution is
declaration that Congress is not willing
to give this recognition to silver and the
bonds remain payable lin the best money
there isl
1t is significantly suggested that the ac-
ton OF the House in voting down the reso-
luton will catch the silver men in the trap
which they themselves set.
Mr.. McAleer of Pennsylvania is said to be
the only democrat who will vote against
the resolution.
A good many republicans are greatly en-
barrassed by having to vote on the PROPOSE
ton, but nearly all Of them will stand by
their party.
