To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
For the protection of the lives and limbs
of the patrons Of the Metropolitan railway
1 desire through these columns to call the
attention of the proper authorities of that
railroad to the carelessness of the conduct
ors in starting ear after its once stopping

I have many times noticed conductors al
low lady just to get one foot upon the
step, and before she could get firmly upon
the platform ring the bell and then grab
her as though she was anything but human,
and being tossed to them.
This morning signaled a car and before
1t stopped, and. further, before had even
time to swing onto the bars, the conductor
rang two BELLS" and away we went, 1,
with one hand holding the bar, bundle In
the other, and hopping along like Jump
ing Jack" trying my best to gain my equi-
librium. so as to enable me to reach the
platform without breaking my neck or hav-
ing my foot pinched under the flying wheels.

LAPAZ DYNAMITE PLOT.
More Light shed Upon the Dastardly
Depreciation from an Interview with
Rev. Peter.

More Light Shed Upon the Dastardly
Rev. Peter.
In an interview with Rev. Peter
Wednesday he stated that he had con
victing evidence AGAINST the rowdy ele
ment in Lapsz. There is no doubt in
his mind but what the saloon element
was at the bottom of the late dastardly
assault upon bis house and family.
When the fall term of court convenes
in this city, he said, things will come to
light which will stsrtle the people i'm
measurably. In order that the public
may more fully comprehend the trend
of matt ers, 1t must be understood that
Rev. Peter caused barkeeper to be ar.
rested at Lapaz last Wednesday on the
charge of keeping the blinds of the ss-
loon down on Sundays. He plead
guilty and was fined. On the next day
Rev. Peter caused the arrest of Frank
y YOcum, supposed to be the owner of
the saloon on charge which dated six
weeks back. Mr.. Yocum was allowed
to go free because no convicting evi
dence could be produced to show that
he was the proprietor.
Saturday night occurred the destruc-
tive dynamite explosion in which the
front part of the preachers house was
completely demolished. Mr.. Peter
states in connection with this, that the
dynamite was placed within eight feet
of his desk where he habitually sits
when writing or studying. Had he been
at home on the night of the depreciation
he certainly would have been sitting
there and nothing but miracle could
have saved his life. Thus it looks like
a deliberate plot had been made to
assasinate him.
When asked his reasons for making
war upon the lawless element of LapaZ,
Rev. Peter dissvowed any sentimental
motives. He did not arrest the saloon
men from spite OF from any fastidious
impulse. He said, IL am not a prohibi-
zionist; drink beer when | care to.
| reserve the right to refuse it. |
made what arrests l did simply be-
cause the law was being broken which
was wrong and which therefore came in
my province as minister to correct if
possible. | intend to fight the lawless
element in Lspsz to the end"
