review OF the COmRaissi toner's Objec-
tions to the senate Bill.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
With extreme surprises and regret read
the report of the board Of District Com
missioners upon Senateibilli 4943, in which
they oppose the giving Of free transfers,
provided therein, between the Metropolitan
and Brightwood railroads as well as the
extension of the Metropolitan railroad up
Brightwood avenue to Rock Creek Church
road.
The present railroad facilities of our sec
tion of the District, dependent as We are
upon the Brightwood railway, are entirely
inadequate to the demands of the travelling
public and utterly unworthy of the beallti-
fui country through which this line of rail-
way runs. The unceasing prayer for years
of these thousands of eitizens, dependent
upon the Brightwood railway for ingress
and egress, has been for Improvement in
railroad facilities-single fare and free
transfer This issue so vital to the Well
being and upbuilding of our section of the
District. called into existence the Bright
wood Park Citizens Association. and Is
the cause nearest the heart of both our
older citizens associations-the Brightwood
Avenue and the Takoma Park Citizens AS
sociations. Hard work and unceasng ef-
fort has been put forth by every taxpayer

commissioners Disapprove Eight
Hour Law for Police

In letter to Representative Curtis, act
ing chairman of the House District COM
ulittee, the District Commissioners today
recoRmenied adverse action on House bill
1lS01, placing the members of the District
police force and other employees of the
police department under the provisions of
the eight-hour lay.
while the bill,' wrote the Commission
ers, might not be objectionable If the po-
lice force Were sufficiently large to admit
of such an arrangement the Commissioners
are Of the opinion that the bill would be
most unwIse legislation under the present
circumstances, as, with only one-tflird of
the force on duty during each eight hours,
it would probebly require double the pres
ent force to properly patrol the streets and
roads"

WANT Hin TO DRAW HIS PAY.
TREASURY ACCOUNTANTS ARE WORRIED
BECAUSE MIA WHEELER DOESN'T
DRAW HIS SALARY

Most employers fni that no matter how un-
punctual their employees i've days in the week
they usually manage TO line up in front OF the
cashiers window with great promptness on pay
day. There are few exceptions. OF course, and
such are heartily hated by the cashier who nearly
always considers that they come late on purpose
TO annoy him and hinder him In closing up his ac-
counts with that neatness and dispatch which is
so dear to a good bookkeepers heart Uncle Sam
has one Of these exceptions in HIS employ and he
is a wonder in his way
This mans name is VI. d Wheeler. and ne is an
inspector In the postal service. assigned 10 the
New-York division. Mr. Wheeler has neglected TO
draw his salary for several years. and holds
thirty warrants against the Treasury for back pay
This strange neglect TO cash warrants, which usu-
ally get back 10 the Treasury within a few days
OF their date OF issue. Is worrying the Department
accountants to such extent that they have called
the attention OF the Postoffice Department TO Mr.
Wheeler's popularity. and have requested that he
be asked TO come forward and kindly take his
money away
The secret Of the postofice inspectors ability TO
get along without pay Is said to be the possession
or a little private fortune. Mr.. Wheeler is at
present stationed in Hancock. ~ Y

OBEDIENCE OF JAPANESE WOMEN.

The chief duty OF Japanese woman all her life
is obedience: while unmarried, TO her parents;
