AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
Extension Of Bethesda Railroad to Rockville
Commenced.
Material Now Being Hauled Out to
the Place and Werk Being Push
ed - General News.

The work on the extension of the George
town and Tenleytown electric railroad from
Bethesda Park, Md, to- Rockville, the seat
OK montgomery county, has been COM
menced, and it is expected that the entire
Work will be completed this year before
ooid weather sets in. A large force Of Ia
borers are now employed on the scene, and
material is being hauled out as fast as OBJ
tainable. The grade of the road is now be-
ing made. and the lahorers are making fast
time. The line of the road will follow up
the old Bethesda road as far as it goes,
and then an entrance to Rockville will be
secured over the old Rockville pike. The
preliminary lines for the extension were laid
by surveyors last fall and winter, and as
late as February of this year the field work
was kept up in the effort to secure the best
grade.
The rails for the extension it is under
stood, are now in the city The whole line
will be an overhead trolley, the same as
the other portions of the route. Trolley
poles, trimmed and cut, are being hauled
out to the line of the extension, and the
hauling of these and rails will continue for
some time.
1t is understood that the officials in charge
have already mapped out a schedule for
Rockville and return, allowing one hour
for each way, or two hours for the round
trip. For a trolley car this will be fast
time, as 1t takes forty-five minutes to make
the trip from 32d and M streets to Cabin
John bridge. Additional speed on the new
road will be secured by placing additional
motors on each car, allowing four, instead
of the usual number of two.
Death of Charles p. Baker.
Charles P. Baker, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John w. Baker, died Sunday, at the resi-
dence of his parents, 1908 saith street, at the
age of twelve years. The lad was extreme
ly bright, and his death is regretted by a
large number of his friends. The funeral
was held this afternoon at O'Clock, from
his parents residence. The remains were
taken to Tenleytown, where services were
held in the Baptist Church of the village.
Confusion as to Cars.
Some complaint has arisen of late over
the failure to distinguish cars of the Glen
Echo road at the Cabin John bridge ter
mnal. The cars of the road are of uniform
color, and while some run through to
Georgetown and change with the Metropoli-
tan road at 32d and o Streets others run
through to Chevy Chase circle and permit
passengers to ride on the cars of the Chevy
Chase road. Some Georgetown people and
others living in the western section of the
city, who desire to come via Georgetown,
have been fooled on the cars, not thinking
to ask the conductor the destination.
Brief Mention.
Mrs. Clayton Donaldson of Dumbarton
avenue has left for stay of several
months at Leesburg, Va, where she will
be the guest of Mrs. Wallace.
The police of the Georgetown precinct
commenced target practice this morning at
the station, preparatory to the commence
ment of the general practice at the National
Guard armory.

FOR DISOBEDIENCE.
Samuel Stewart Slapped His Wife and
Was Fined.

Was Fined.
Samuel Stewart, colored went on an ex-
cursion to Harper's Ferry yesterday and
train. The Stewards live in Tenleytown
and before leaving home in the morning
Sam told his wife not to go on the excur-
sion. In order to make sure that she would
not go he did not leave any money at
home. He went to his place of employ
ment, only to find that he had nothing to
do yesterday. Then he hurried back home,
intending to take his wife on the excursion.
Much to his surprise she had gone and he
then hurried across to Kensington on the
electric read and caught the train. He
said nothing to his wife during the day.
She went to the picnic grounds on Byrnes'
Island and spent the day, while Sam pass
ed most of his time asleep in car. On
the return trip he left the train at kensing
ton and got home long before his wife.
When she appeared the question of dis
obedience was discussed and the husband
said he was going to slap her jaws. Sam
usually keeps his word. especially where
family matters are concerned. and he used
his open hand on his wife's face. Her
screams attracted the attention of neigh
bors and one of them went to Mrs. Stew
arts rescue. His presence there angered
the husband and he gave her another slap.
Judge Scott told him that the question of
his wifeS diSobedience did not figure in the
case. He told Stewart that he should do
his correcting in another way and fined
him $40 or thirty days. The charge against
Stewart was disorderly conduct and his
wife objected to appearing as a witness
She was put on the stand, however, and
she did her best to get him out of trouble

A colored man named Mlage Abner, who
has crooked arm, was a prisoner in the
Police Court this morning, where ne had
been under similar conditions many times
before Fagrancy was the charge against
him. and he pleaded guilty.
''Milage is old offender Policeman
Heare said. He, has habit of begging
pennies. and when he gets money enough
he gets drunk. Then he. frightens ladies
and children"
Judge" said the coIored man, Il ain t
so awful bad"
The trouble with you is that you can't
let liquor alone" Judge Scott told him.
Your deformity. I should think. would be
bad enough without the addition of
whisky.
y sentence Of ninety days on the farm
was imposed.

VIII Do His Best.

"I'I plead guilty to being drunk last
night, your honor" John McHenry said tc
Judge Scott this morning when Policeman
Kilmartin had him arraigned for alleged va,
grancy.
Il saw him stop two men and ask then
for the price of a drink" the officer com
pained.
Perhaps I did," said McHenry. II was
drunk and don't remember everything thai
happened"
How often do you get that way?" Prose
cutting Attorney Pugh asked.
only occasionally was his answer.
McHenry told the judge that he lives il
Georgetown, and said he was sorry fol
what happened last night.
Il am going to take your personal bonds
this time" Judge Scott said, land hope
in the future you will be more careful anc
let liquor alone
'Tll do my best said McHenry, "and

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
On Record in Regard to the Linotype
Tenders Controversy.

AT the meeting last evening of the Cen
trail Labor Union there was long and
animated discussion of the question involv-
ing the control of the linotype machinists.
The question was introduced by delegate
from Columbia Typographical Union, who
Immediately after the reading of the min
utes of the previous meeting moved to ex-
punge therefrom the resolutions adopted by
the body at the meeting held on July II,
which criticised the international Typo
graphical Union for requiring linotype tend
ers to become members of printers unions.
After discussion, which consumed several
hours of the session, which was mainly
participated in by the printers and machin-
lists, the motion to eXpunge was defeated
by small majority. The union, however,
by decisive vote, adopted a resolution
which finally disposes of the matter so far
as the central body is concerned, which re-
cites that lit is the sense of the Central
Labor Union that the question at issue be-
tween the machinists and printers relative
to linotype machine tenders is a matter
beyond the jurisdiction of this body, and
it is recommended that the two local
bodies directly interested adjust the mat
ter between themselves"
After the report of the committee which
was appointed to confer with the mer-
chants OF the CITY relallVe 10 CLOSING theif
stores at o'clock pm. on Saturday, let
ter was read from Mr.. A. Saks, in which
he says: There is no question in my mind
that early closing is not harmful to trade,
but the fact remains that we are unable to
do any business with working people ex-
cept on Saturday evenings.
Il am of the opinion that Q o'clock is
late enough to keep open, yet l do not pro-
pose to have our trade be compelled to go
to other places who keep open until 10 or
II o'clock.
IF the American Federation of Labor will
succeed in harmonizing the merchants of
Washington to close at o'clock they will
find us very agreeable to the proposition.
II want to go further and say that there
is no reason why This should not be done
the year around"
The electrical workers reported that since
the termination of their recent strike all
the men have returned to work, TO the
mutual satisfaction of all concerned. The
committee of the Central Labor Union was
credited with being largely instrumental IN
settling the difficulty, and at the request of
the electrical workers a rising vote of
thanks was rendered the committee.

BICYCLE CONTRACT.
Report on the Wheels Purchased for
Police Force.


A protest was fled with the District
Commissioners several days ago by Messrs
Wilson & Barksdae. representing local
firm of bicycle dealers. against awarding
the contract for the purchase Of thirty
Sterling wheelssfor the police department
1t was claimed by the protestants that the
District advertised for sealed proposals to
furnish thirty wheels to the District with
view to selecting the best bicycle for
police purposes; that the advertisement
stated that the proposals would be re-
ceived until noon of July 5; that at noon
the 9Th it announced that no more
proposals would be received; that the bids
We're opened and the names of the bidders
made public, and that the same night
the award made, and the successful
firm was not one of the bidders. The Com
missioners We're asked to reopen the case
and grant the compliments hearing.
The Commissioners referred the matter
to Major Sylvester, the chief of police, who
reported that the advertising was not a
formal District matter, and in no wise pre-
vented the selection of wheel in open
market; that some of the offers were re-
ceiVed and opened before the time set in
the Commissioners office; others came by
mail and some We're handed him PERSONAL
iy; that no Formally of any sort was OBJ
served; that the Sterling bid was handed
in a few minutes succeeding the meeting
of the clerks, and was placed with the
other opened papers, and that after re-
jecting all the bids the committee picked
up the unopened envelope, containing the
Sterling agents letter. and upon looking
over this last bid, accepted the machine
The Commissioners have. therefore, in
formed the compliments that as the BIZ
cycles have already been purchased and
are now in use ii is impossible for the
Commissioners to reconsider the matter
and ask for proposals. The Commits
sioners also state that after careful in
vestigation they are unable to learn that
information was given out which proved
