OPPOSING TAX on BICYCLES.
Meeting of the Local Division of the
L.. A. w

At meeting of the District of Columbia
division of the League of American Wheel
men last night Chief Consul Frazee was
instructed to appoint a committee to con-
fer with the committees in both houses of
Congress and present the objections of the
league to the imposition of the proposed
tax on bicycles. In case the tax is to be
levied the league will make an effort to
have the money expended in improving the
roads in the county.
A letter was read from President Potter
of the L. a. W. stating that the league
would support every effort of the local di-
vision made against the imposition of a
tax. a number of members made remarks
IN opposition to the tax, which was de-
nounced as discrimination The chief
consul was authorized to appoint COM
mittee to the District Commissioners to re-
peal TO request handle-bar regulation The
proposed bicycle path from the Anglers
club house to Great Falls, was brought up,
but no action was taken.
The committee on revision of the con-
sutution reported an amendment providing
for the nomination of officers in open meet
ing, instead of by a nominating committee
as heretofore, well as an election by
mail. The amendment will be acted upon
at the next meetings the last Thursday in
February.

THE ADAMS POISONING CASE.
Experts Tightening Web of Evidence
Around Guilty One.

The New York Herald of this morning
says: While Captain McClusky of the de-
tective bureau said yesterday he could not
tell when an arrest would be made in the
Adams poisoning case, the two handwriting
experts the police have employed are get
ting closer and closer on the track of the
poisoner. AS told in the Herald yesterday,
Mr. kinsley has one specimen of writing
which he says is probably that of the man
who sent the poison to Harry Cornish Mr..
CarvahlO, too, has now ceased to consider
all but one of the specimens of handwriting
submitted to him.
Both Mr.. Kinsley and Mr.. Carvahlo had a
conference with Captain McClusky yester-
day morning, and Mr.. CarvahIo was at
police headquarters again in the afternoon
The only admission any of them would
make about the meeting was that some
of the specimens submitted to Mr.. Kinsley
had been discussed. Mr.. KinsIey put it that
he had made a partial report verbally and
remarked that he felt the end was in sight.
Mr.. Carvahlo informed me he had ceased
to consider all the specimens of handwrit-
ing submitted to him with one exception
rms specimen he considers so important,
bearing. as it does, much similarity TO
the writing on the poison package, that he
desires to obtain more writing of the same
person. He said that the specimens so far
submitted to him do not contain more than
twenty-five or thirty words, while he de-
sires to have about one hundred or more
words for the purpose of comparison He
Is particularly DESTROYS of obtaining speci-
mems of this writing which contain words
in which the letters 90 "u'' and ''r'' are
joined The package sent to Cornish was
addressed to the Knickerbocker Athletic
Club, .'Fourty-fourth street and Madison
avenue.
Mr.. Carvahlo assured me that the speci-
men of writing which he suspects is not
that of either Molineaux or Cornish

get some idea If the innovation would meet
with success. The expense of giving such
an affair would be rather heavy, while the
seating capacity of Convention Hail. the
largest place in the city, is rather limited,
there being accommodations for hardly
1000, if, indeed, that number.
In the indoor meet the athletes of Column
bian University will be asked to join, max
ing it an Intercollegiate affair. The con-
templat ted plan seems to be a purely ath-
lettc program, with sprint events the main
features. relay race between team
from Georgetown University and one from
the University of Virginia or the University
of Pennsylvania is also considered. An
other proposed feature of the evening is a
relay race between the representative ath-
letes of the different High Schools, and it is
also probable, If the scheme natures, that
open race, in which the various athletic
clubs and associations of the District could
enter men to represent them, will be an at
traction of the meet.
Before any steps are taken in the matter
a general consultation of all Interested IN
the event will be held, including represen-
tatives from Georgetown and Columbian
Universities and delegates from the differ
ent High Schools of the city. Something
definite in the matter will be known by next
week, and if favorable, preparations for
the affair will Immediately be made and
pushed forward.

P0UGHkEEPSiE WANTS REGATTA,

William F. Booth and Harris s. Reynolds,
chairman and secretary respectively of the

New York today to hold a conference with
Passenger Agent Lambert of the West
Shore railroad, and representatives of
Cornell, Pennsylvania and Columbia Uni

The representatives of the local commit

IS such as to warrant the belief that the
citizens of Poughkeepsie will make the
same liberal terms with the colleges that
they did in former years especially If

The District Commissioners today gave
the people of Anaeostiay Congress Heights
and Hillsdale, an opportunity of stating
their grievances in the: matter of street
railway facilities. The Commissioners were
informed that the owners of the Capital
Railway Company ,havef discontinued the
use of the Brown Ielectic system within
the city limits, passengers on that line
being compelled to walk from 18th and NJ
streets southeast to the terminus of the
Capital Traction Company, at the navy
yard gate, or else continue up town ON the
Anacostia line. Resolutions adopted by the
Anacostia and Congress Heights Citizens
Associations protesting against this were
presented to the Commissioners, and sew
efai residents of the sections interested
were heard. Mr.. F. c.. Stevens, represent

had explained that they proposed to build
at as early day as possible modern,
Wen equipped line, the hearing was adj
