CHILDREN WANDER AWAY.


turned Home Today.
Two little children, Mildred, five years
old, and Jack, who had seen but two and
a half years, both belonging to Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles S. Woolford of 1411 IL, h street
northeast wandered from home about 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon. When their
absence was discovered the mother went
in search of them. She called the po-
lice and told them of the loss of her chill
dren and begged them to do what they
could to restore them to her Her appeal
was made to the officers of the ninth pre-
cinct and by them telephoned to the other
precincts.
Your children will turn up all right
in great distress.
The night passed by without the children
being discovered, and early this morning
Mrs. Woolford called at police headquar-
tiers to repeat her request. Inspector
Boardman appealed to. He hardly
believed the children could have been Spir-
tied away.
They must be in somebody's house.,
he said, "and I'm certain they will be re-
turned"
The inspector directed the ninth precinct
police tG make a house-to-house visit in
search of the children, and Lieut.. Daley's
officers started on their rounds In addi
ton to this the telephone wires were used
and it was soon learned that the little
ones had been picked up last night. Some
body III the department had blundered
it is said, and this was why the children
were not restored to their parents last
night.
1t developed that a colored family at
AIS 18th street southeast, near st. Cyprian's
Church, had taken the children into their
home and had notified the police of the
fifth precinct. The question of why the
information was not conveyed to the par
ents is a disputed one.

THE TRANSFER SYSTEM.
Some Objections to Its Operation by
the Traction Company.


Two communications, each signed PAS
senger.'' have been received at The Star
office in reference to the system of trans
fers by the Washington Traction Company
The first says:
No one could well object to the syndi-
Gated roads taking reasonable precautions
to prevent passengers from making a cir
cuit on them-out and back for one fare
but l had an experience on Sunday that
does not to me seem to come within the
category of reasonable things. Starting
from F and 4la streets southwest to go to
18th and NJ streets northwest (Which I
nave done at irregular intervals many
times within the past two years and be-
fore the syndicate improved our facilities
of exchange SO greatly, l transferred at 9th
and f. as usual and after turning into Nth
street was approached by the conductor,
VINO offered me a transfer to New York
avenue, which l declined. 4 couple of
minutes later at 18th street and II | ask
ed for a herdic transfer which he refused,
giving as reason that gave him "A trans
fer at 9th street. Now. If il was simply
to prevent doubling back upon ones
course, why would he give me a transfer
at New York avenue. which would take
me back to 9th street? And upon what
possible ground of reasoning was | refused
transfer to the herdic. which absolutely
cut me off from doubling back upon any
possible route in any direction whatever?
There is no possible question but that the
transfer to the herdic was absolutely a
continuous ride" and further, that a
doubling back impossible I think
the system of transferring Tor lack of sys-
tenn could easily be improved upon.
The second writer speaks follows:
When this syndicate was first formed
the people Were made to believe that 1t
would be convenient and saving for them.
but in the last week or so things have
changed, to the dissatisfaction of the gem
eral public
Before this trust was formed n person
could receive a transfer on transfer. but
now 1t is impossible to do so. For exam
pie. a passenger could start from South
Washington, take the 9th street line trans
fer at 9th and F, then ride to 10Th and H
streets and receive another transfer for
the herdics and ride out as far as desired.
The system that is in is not
exactly fair For instance, a person hy-
ing anywhere near the i street line can
take that line and ride to Seth and Pros
pect avenue. transfer for the Great Falls
line and ride to the District line, while a
person who should happen to have to take
the 9th street line and wish to go in
the same direction would have to transfer
at 9th and F streets, ride to Both street and
there would be refused a transfer simply
because a transfer will not be given on a
transfer, and therefore would have to pay
two fares, while the first party only has to
pay one. There are many other instances
that l would like to mention. but would
take too much of your valuable space.
