him 30 change the trend of his unsatis-
factory life and, with Macs example and

him to take such a step meant much; he
would have to abandon many-most Of
his old associates; he would be ostracized
BY others, and. more than all, could he
stand? Could he control the appetite for
liquor that had had years in which to
fasten itself upon him, until 1t had pos

A THREE-cENT FARE OPPOSED.
The Commissioners Not in Favor OF
the Kerry Bill.

The Commissioners yesterday reported to
Chairman Babcoek. of the House Commits
tee on the District Of Columbia. in reference
TO the proposed reduction of the fares Of
the street railway companies operating in
this city, that in their opinion 1t was not
an suspicious time for the Inauguration OF
the movement. They gave as reasons for
this course that the present rate was MT
an exorbitant one, especially when tickets
were purchased at the rate OF 4 sc cents
by the purchaser buying a quarters worth.
and that, furthermore, the companies had
but recently completed the installation of
an expensive electric underground system,
and if forced 10 reduce Their fares would
possibly not be able to operate at ?. oft.
They further say that the consolidation
of the city and the suburban lines was dis
advantageous to the reduction, for the rea-
son that suburban lines did not pay operat-.
ing expenses, and ii would be an injustice
10 the companies TO demand of them what
they could i'll afford
In reference to compelling the companies
TO equip all their cars with vestbules for
the protection of the motormen, they say
that they have made extended inyestiga
lions into the service in many other cities
where the climatic conditions are not as
severe as in Washington. and from the re-
ports they do not feel that they would be
justified in recommending the adoption of
the measure
