DEMAND FOR PAYMENT.
City Policeman to Ask for the Taylor
Reward.

Since the return of Armstead Taylor, the
negro murderer TO the Maryland author
tiles the question of the reward offered for
his apprehension is being agitated 1t Will
be remembered that while attempting to
arrest Taylor Sergeant Fritz Passau of the
Georgetown precinct was shot and almost
Instantly killed. 1t was at the time thought
that Taylor would be held in the District
to answer to the charge of the murder Of
Sergeant Passau instead Of being turned
over to the Maryland authorities for the
murder of the Rcsenfields. A reward had
been offered for the capture.
The negro was first caught by Policeman
William Easley of the county mounted
force, it is said, the policeman who suc-
ceeded in capturing Jack the Slasher at
the time the negro was committing his
mysterious depredations in the city. Since
it has been decided not to hold the negro
for the District authorities. but to turn him
over to the Maryland authorities the uues-
ton of reward has been discussed 1t is
understood that an application will shortly
be made by the friends of Policeman Eas-
ley to the Maryland officials for the turn
ing over to him of the reward offered for
the capture of Taylor.

MEETING OF CITIZENS,
progressive Association of Congress
Heights Discusses II. II. Transfers.

The regular meeting of the Citizens Pro-
gressiVe Association of Congress Heights
was held last evening in the post office
building at that place, President A. p
Mitchell in the chair. Several speeches
were made in opposition to the stoppage of
free transfers at the Capital Traction ter
minus at the navy yard. Mr. johnson said
the company evidently wanted to forfeit
its charter by such action in not properly
notifying the public of the change of route
from that enacted by Congress-"
Mr.. f.. A. Randle stated that Mr.. Saxton
had the contract to equip the Anacostia
road with the underground electric system
and would begin work about the 18th of
TINS month, and those who know Mr. Sax
ten predict the road will be completed so
that passengers at Congress Heights can go
cars by September IL next. Mr. Randle
said he believed Messrs Crosby, Iieb
Stevens and Mirick would do as much for
the suburbs of Washington as Alexander
X Shepherd had done for Washington city
The suburbs of Washington were less i'm
proved than were those of any other city
in the Union of half the size
The association decided not to take any
action against the railroad pending the i'm
provements to be made in the near future
by the company.
A resolution was passed petitioning the
company to put horse car on NJ street be-
transfer system with the Capital Traction.
The editorial in last evenings Star was
quoted, and 1T was developed that the clause
in the Capital Railway Company's charter
compelling the Capital Traction Company
and Metropolitan railroad to issue free
transfers TO each other was intended by the
author of the amendment to compel these
two corporations to issue such transfers
and was not to become a dead letter. A
certain member of Congress, it was said by
way of comment, had announced that he
wanted these two corporations to be forced
to issue free transfers. The amendment was
originally written to satisfy this member.
Both the Capital Traction Company and the
metropolitan Company had overlooked the
phraseology.
The committee on building reported that
at least 100000 would be expended in build
ings at Congress Heights. including the
hotel, which now seemed a certainty.
The committee on public buildings and
grounds reported that the District Commits
sioners had replied to the citizens petition
in very courteous manner, stating that
the wants of the citizens of Congress
Heights were properly laid before them, and
that they would give them due considera-
ton, and at once sent an inspector to Con-
gress Heights to make report upon proper
| fire protection for the place.
