H0RSELESS CARRIAGES,
One Phase of the Situation In Regard
to the Capital Traction Company.

Mr.. c. A Lieb of the Washington Auto
mobile Company today received a telegram
from the makers of electric carriages stat
irg that two carriages would be shipped to
this city this week. One will be buggy
seats for four people. They are to ne run
on the streets for exhibition purposes. AS
already stated in The Star. part of the
plar 8 of this company provide for the run
ming of vehicles of this character, but of
larger seating capacity, as regular trans
portation line on the streets of the city
One of the streets in view is 18th street
and another is Pennsylvania avenue
AS the people who are Interested in this
new company. to a large extent. are also
interested in the purchase of the street
railroads and lighting companies OF the
city. the opinion is expressed by some who
own stock in the Capital Traction CO., the
only street railroad not In the comblnatio
that the proposal to start an opposition
line on Pennsylvania avenue Is part of
the scheme which they believe exists to
raid the stock of the Capital Traction Com
pany In order to buy 1t at less rate than
that at which it is now held.
II seems probable there Will be lively
war over the stock of the Capital Traction
Company, the bulls and bears on this
stock are very much in evidence just now
The bulls maintain that the combine. as
1t IS called. must have the Traction road
and that they can only get 1t by paying at
least si25 per share for 1t. The other side
are equally confident that the combine
don't care to buy the road but that II
they did buy 1t they would not pay more
than $50 per share. For some days past
the stock has been lowering in the vicinity
of f1', and in the opinion of many the real
contest has only just begun.

THE PROPOSED GAS DEAL
Dissatisfaction on the Part of Stockholders
With the Terms.

inc sale OF the gas company, which in
the opinion of many people has been def
nitely determined and only the details of
the settlement remains to be attended to,
still continues to be; the subject of a good
deal or the current talk in financial and
other circles. 1t may be said in general
that there are smots expressions of dissatis-
faction heard from the stockholders of this
company than. from any of the others that
have recently been purchased in the same
interests The principal cause Of complaint,
outside Of what might be termed the gen
eral one that a, safs of the company Is pro-
posed. Is the price of SGD per share, espe-
cfally as the Usual May dividend was omit
ted. 81
It is thought b5yydlmany that if the usual
dividend had been declared there would
not not -, have been as much ground for COM
paint as In the, opinion Of many stock
holders now EXISTS Exception is taken to
the wording ofrthe, circular, which, 1t Is al
legged. is Obscure. and In addition fails to
state that 1t + the purpose Of the commit
tee, which ts, With one exception, the board
Of directors, hgffng the circular to sell

they Will sell.
This feature Of the circular leads to the
opinion heard expressed that some of the
piILCipdi StOChHoiuelS are also interested
with those who wish to buy the company.
Reference was made few days ago in
The Star to a letter written by Mr.. John c.
Bullitt to an inquring correspondent in this
city. in which he denies the statement that
had come to his ears that he was also In
the deal as purchaser
While the above represents the current
talk among the stockholders and others,
and dissatisfaction is expressed with the
terms Of the proposed deal, yet, as far as

resolution expressed by some stockholders
not to sell at the price named. 1t is not
known of course how many will be of this
mind but the general opinion has been all
along that the consent of at least ma ior-
ity of the stockholders had been secured to
this deal before the general circular to the
stockholders was issued

Observation-Disclosures
Rev. DE- Wellesley Reid Davis Placed Under
Grave Charges.
Said to Have Obtained Money by
Fraudulent Means-Hearing to
BE Given Tomorrow.

A man who gave the name of Rev. DR..
Wellesley Reid Davis was arrested this
afternoon about 2:3e o'clock by Detective
Sam NJ. Brown at the Metropolitan Club
on the charge OF obtaining $50 by means of
bogus check from Mr.. Fred r. Parks,
ticket agent at the Pennsylvania railroad
station. April "a. 1t is understood that
Davis Is wanted In Baltimore for obtaining
$S5 from Lemuel Wilmer by means of a
bogus check. Mr.. Wilmer is the ticket
clerk at Union station in that city. Both
checks were drawn on the National Union
Bank of New York
1t is further charged that Davis is want
ed in New York for obtaining a consdera-
pie sum of money by similar means from
the aldorf-Astoria Hotel, and that the
police of that city are today making very
diligent search for him.
The manner in which Davis is alleged to
nave performed his operations here was as
follows: He had slight acquaintance with
one of the janitors at the 9th street rail-
road station, and he asked this janitor to
identity him to Mr.. Parks. On the strength
OF this Identification Parks took his check
risk.
Immediately after getting the money
from Mr. Parks, Davis went to Baltimore
ana called on Mr. Wilmer, asking him to
cash check for sS5. Mr.. Wilmer objected
to doing this, saying it against the
rules of the Pennsylvania company and
that ne was doing so at his own risk An
af1ldaV1t has been made by MIR. r. A. Piper,
a notary public of New York. stating that
the check passed on Mr.. Wilmer had been
presented at the National Union Bank in
New York and that payment had been re-
fused.
Davis Is of prepossessing appearance

cation made few days ago by Mr.. T. VIM
Harris, claiming to be president of the

plains that Mr.. Harris represent but $50

Gen Harries expresses surprise that the
collector of taxes should have consented to
receive deposit from Mr.. Harris, in view
OF the fact that he (Harries) three weeks
ago deposited the required guarantee fund
of $l.0o0. Gen. Harries states that his
roads general counsel will shortly return
TO the city. when a hearing in the matter
will probably be asked. Meantime. he asks
