STREET RAILROAD MAGNATEs,
Meeting of Washington Traction and
Electric Company's Directors.


There was meeting today of the direc-
tors Of the Washington Traction and Elec-
trio Company at the Office of the company
in the building of the Metropolitan Rail-
DAD Company, East Capitol and 18th
'treets northeast Those present were Geo
W. Young. G. w Bacon, T. J. Hayward
H D. Mirtck, F. C. Stevens, Geo. Truesdell
and c. A Lieb. Practically the entire day
vas spent in going over the affairs of the
various railroad and electric lighting COM
panies which are controlled by this COM
pany.
Gratifying progress was reported In the
new work which is under way, and it was
stated by the general manager, Mr. f. l..
Hart, that the last spike In the railroad
between this city and Rockville, Md, some
twenty miles away, was driven yesterday
and that the iron connection between those
TWO places is now completed. Unless de-
lay, now unforeseen, should occur il is ex-
pected that ears will be running between
those points Christmas day.
1t Is also stated that the completion of
the Anacostia and Potomac railroad is
now SO advanced that it may be possible,
although by no means certain, that Sum
day next cars will be run over the newly
constructed portion from 18th street and
Florida avenue to G street. At the latter
point cross-over will permit the cars to
pass to the other track and in this wav re-
turn to the starting point
Some time between Christmas and New
Year, 1t is thought, the other section of
the road from the Anacostia bridge TO
Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street will be
In operation, and as soon as the special
work can be obtained the middle section
of the road will be finished, SO that cars
will be run from 18th street and Florida
avenue to Anacostia-

Nathan A. Taylor of the N. & G. Taylor

Gov. Roosevelt Decides to Call an Extraor-
dinary Term of the Supreme Court.
ALBANY. Oct. 23.-Gov Roosevelt. upon the
recommendation OF Attorney General Davies.

OF the Supreme Court in New York city.
to be presided over by Justice to be
selected by the Governor. so that tho
cases OF violations OF the primary and
registration laws may be submitted to q
special grand jury. with view OF

Deputy Attorney General Coync. who has been
investigating the alleged violations OF tho
primary laws at tho request OF Supt.
McCullaEh Of the Metropolitan Elections dis
trict. looked into a number OF cases OF illegal
registration. The illegal registration he found
much more fragrant than the violations OF the
primary law. He feels that he can secure In
dictments against at least dozen election and
police officials. and so notified Attorney Gem
eral Davies. who in turn reported Mr.. Coyne's
conclusions to the Governor. Tho Governor.
before leaving tomorrow morning for his
speechmaking trip in Maryland. WILL II tho
necessary papers are ready. issue a procla-
nation converting tho extraordinary term
OF court and naming the Justice who IL to
preside. Tonight Attorney General Davies
said:
We have sufficient evidence to ask for Q
number OF indictments for violations OF the
primary law in the Ninth district and for VIOLA
tions OF the Election law In several districts In
regard to registration We also have evidence
OF violations Of other laws upon which We
think ave can secure indictment and convio-
tons"
Mr. Davies would not state whether the vio-
lations OF other laws referred to unlawful pro-
ceedings among Tammany officials unearthsd
by the Nazet Com mittee.
