MR.. DAVIS FILES HIS ANSWER.
United States District Attorney Ex-
plains DIR. Shufeldts Charges.

United States District Attorney Henry
Z. Davis yesterday fled with Attor-
ney General Griggs his answer to the
charges of dereliction Of duty preferred
against him by DR.. Shufeldt, who stated
that Mr. Davis had refused to call to the
attention of the grand jury of the District
the alleged false swearing of certain per-
sons in connection with divorce proceed
ings, in which the complainant was inter
ested. In an interview. published in The
| Times last Sunday morning, Mr.. Davis
| briefly reviewed the charges made by DR..
| Shufeldt and gave his reasons for ignoring
| them.
At that time, as he does now in his an
swer, fled at the Department of Justice.
| MI Davis stated that he pursued the
course only after thoroughly investigating
the circumstances laid bsfore him by DR..
Shufeldt, in conference with Assistant Dis
| trict Attorney Taggart. and after consuita-
| ton with Chief Justice Bingham, CT the
Supreme Court of the District.
After reviewing all the circumstances of
the case Dir. Davis concludes his answer
in the following language:
THE judicial proceeding in Dr.. Shu-
feldts case was pending in the courts OF
Maryland, which was administering the
justice OF that State. The testimony which
wa taken in this District was for use be-
fore the court of that State; it was author
lied to be taken by the laws OF that State :;
the necessary oath in the premises was
authorized 10 be administered by the laws
of that State and by those laws only; and
The witnesses giving their dispositions were
accountable for the truth of their testi-
| mony to the State of Maryland only. I'm
less, therefore, there be something in the
laws Of this District applying to cases of
| witnesses giving dispositions under such
circumstances, thase is no possible room TO
contend that any law of this District was
infringed or that the public justice of this
District was in any wise involved. And
there is no law OF this District affecting
the matter. Section 5292, Il. S. L. s., has
no application.
Nevertheless, both Mr.. Taggart and !
were at great pains to review the whole
subject very carefully with DR.. Shufe!dt
and his attorney, with the result that We
felt constrained to adhere TO our position,
as already stated. When Chief Justice
Bingham called my attention to Dr. Shu-
feldts complaint, the Chief Justice, Mr..
Taggart and / went again very carefully
over the whole subject, with the result
| that we were all OF the same mind. II is
| my firm conviction that my apprehension
of the Law in the premises is sound"

HORSE CARS FOR ANAcosTIA.
The Capital Railway Transit Prob
lem Solved TemnornriIy.

Late yesterday afternoon the District
Commissioners made decision which will
crafty every resident of Anacostia, Hills
dale, and the numerous villages across the
Eastern Branch Of the Potomac River. de-
pendent upon the Capital Railway and the
Anacostia Railway for rapid transit to this
city.
They reached an agreement regarding the
operation of horse cars on the Capital Rail
way from the present time until the COM
pletion of the new underground electric
system which the purchasers of the road
intend to INSTALL
The Anacostia Railway is still operated
by horses and furnishes very slow trans
portation of passengers from Anacostia to
this city. The Capital Railway was until
its recent purchase by Messrs. Oscar 7.
Crosby and F. C. Stevens operated by the
Brown system of electric contact boxes.
After the road passed into new hands it
was declared by the owners to be danger
Gus TO the public. They therefore dis
continued the operation of the electric cars
from the Navy Yard Bridge to the terminus
of the Capital Traction Company line, at
the corner of Eighth and NJ Streets south
east. When the Brown system was de-
clared dangerous and discontinued the
privilege of transfer at this point ceased.
The people OF Anacostia at once held a
mass-meeting in an endeayor to solve the
transit problem. A hearing was also had
before the District Commissioners. result
ing in the promise from the purchasers of
the Capital Railway Company to transfer
with the Capital Traction Company pro-
yided that company would enter the ar
rangement. Both companies favored the
free transfer at the navy yard until the
completion of the underground system. and
the matter remained in the hands of the
District Commissioners, who took no final
action until yesterday.
A. Z. Randle. former president of the
Capital Railway Company. and Louis Hall,
receiver of the same corporation, visited
the District Building yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of urging the matter of
free transfers.
The Commissioners gathered in a hur-
ried session and, after thorough consid-
Grafton OF the question. decided to permit
the Capital Railway Company to be oper-
ated by horses until the underground
system can be Installed. and TO allow that
company TO transfer its passengers to the
Capital Traction cars at the navy yard
gate. This arrangement will go into effect
on Monday and an order will be issued
granting the right to establish these emer-
gency changes

Evils of VIncL Jistinr

The evils of blacldisting their discharged
employees by railroad lines are OF such 4
character as TO demand the shrewdest
cOunteraCting legislation on the part of the
States. No railroad dares openly of course,
TO take steps TO prevent a competent man
from securing employment elsewhere. But
Secretary Moscley of the Interstate Com
merce Commission told the commission the
other day of n system of freemasonry
among the railroads by which they make
known 10 each other, even in a letter of
recommendation, that the man who bears
it is blacklisted and is to be denied the
occupation he seeks. II is sometimes a
mere word in the letter: other times it is
The general form of the letter itself that
cautions the other company against giving
employment TO the applicant. How is this
insidious method of preventing men from
earning their living to be met?
There. too, is the obligation of railroads
TO employ the most trustworthy of safety
appliances for the protection of the life
and limb of their workers. What, also.
can be done to minimize the damage Of
the great trunk line strikes that are wont
from time to time to paralyze the trade
of the nation? Secretary Moseley has
