The war correspondents there now are
exceedingly bitter against General

way of Hongkong dispatches which
cannot pass the military censor. It

dispatches will contain some truth and
a great deal of exaggeration. One re-

To the Editor o. The Evening Star:


The breaking away of another car on the
Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad, and
the almost miraculous result that no one
was killed by the rushing load of coal,
Lrings TO nv mind the fact that those in
control of the affairs of the District are
showing a great laxity of oversight in per-
hitting that road to continue to keep IN
service such engines of destruction.
About the middle of last January num-
Der of citizens residing along the highway
over which this road passes Detitoned the
Commissioners for a hearing upon the very
condition that has now been repeated The
meeting was held. and we went before the
board and in as earnest a manner as pos
Sibie called their attention ID tic condition
of the cars. We reminded them that only
a short time before one of the cars lad be-
come unmanageabie and had rushed Gown
into a boat house at the foot of 32d street.
due to worthless braking apparatus. and
that such affair was likely to occur at
any time
After we had made cur statement the
president of the road, Mr.. @. T. Crosby.
who present, stated and admitted that
the question of proper brakes on their cars
had been an item of embarrassment to
Them but he hoped for solution of the
problem. The hearing closed, and from
that day to this l have never received a
word of reply from the Commissioners as
to what action would be taken by them.
We had shown them that complaints
were facts We had secured from The pres
ident of the road the admission that the
brakes in use were not Satisfac tory TO him.
and We looked to the Commissioners to see
to it that the provisions Of the charter of
the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad,
which distinctly state that only the best
equipment shall be in service, should be
complied with.
In view of these facts, the only course !
see open to those who wish protect
themselves against the repetition of a wild
car rushing along this road and killing
some one. is to go into court and compel
the officials of the Georgetown and Tenley-
town railroad, by injunction, to equip its
cars with brakes of absolute safety. and
also prohibit it from cartinS freight and
coal over its road. which also is not au-
thorzed by the charter.
We have appealed to she Commissioners
and they have ignored Us, and in my opin-
ion it is high time to sack for ,,rotecticn
in the court. I for one am ready to meet
my share of the expense III compelling that
road to abide by its charter, and 10 have
the court restrain 1t rom running Cars
that are not safe. GEO. a. HILL.

Recon- mendntiOn Concerning Their

RECON- dntiGn Concerning Ihe1r
Use Approved by Commissioners.
The police department has recently re-
ceived several applications for permits to
sell fireworks. the applicants having in view
the coming reception to Admiral Dewey by
the people of the District. Major Sylvester,
chief of police, before granting the per
mits recommended to the Commissioners
that they be issued under section 4. article
., of the police regulations, with the pro-
viso that no sales shall be made to children
under sixteen years of age, and that the
sales shall not include firecrackers, torpe-
does or bombs of any description.
The Commissioners have approved Major
Sylyesters recommendations in the matter,
and the permits to be issued by the police
department will prohibit the sale and dis
charge of the ear-spEtting firecreackers,
bombs and torpedoes. The section of the
police regulations referred to by the chief
of police prohibits, under a penalty, of
course the manufacture, storing. Keeping
and use of fireworks within the District
without a license obtained from that offi-
cial The succeeding section of the reguia-
tions prohibits the discharge of fireworks
within the city and within the fire limits
of the District without a special permit
from the chief of police. The penalty pro-
vided is fine of not less than So nor more
than $40
