MINOR CITY TOPICS.

The Santa Fe Building and Loan AS
o'clock.
Train No. II, with the mail from the
east, is reported one hour late this even
ing. 1t was over an hour late last night.
Victor Duran, custodian of the plaza,
has provided himself with a blacksnake
whip with which to keep the loafer dogs
off the grass.
An important city ordinance relating
to land titles within the Santa Fe grant
appears elsewhere in this paper.
The summary weather brought a jolly
crowd of women and children out to
hear the plaza concert this afternoon.
The medical men of New Mexico will
be here in force June 5. Doubtless most
of them will make it a point to arrive
June 3 and thus be able to attend the
festivities relating to the dedication of
the handsome new territorial capitol,
which are fixed for Tuesday afternoon
and evening, June 4.
Shorty" Franks drove in from Els
pamela last night, bringing a brace of
drummers. When about to start home
this afternoon his spanking team of
spirited bays took a dash around the
! plaza and INDUCED in a short cut over
the grass toward the new fountain-ev-
identity in search Of a drink. They left
the road wagon lodged against a tel
ephone pole. The broken singletrees
and n demoralized soda pop bottle
cover the damage.

Crossing Plates.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


Stop plates at street railroad crossings
are as much of a public necessity now as
fender" and the suggestion I'm Tuesdays
paper recommending their use is a wise
and timely one The Capital Traction Com
pany now has these stop plates in use along
their lines, and they give entire satisfac-
ton. But what is now public necessity
Is law requiring their use, and this is
within the province Of our Commissioners
/ to frame by amending the existing police
regulation to meet the emergency, by re-
quiring the railroad companies to put in
stop plates at such places as they nhe
COmmissioners) may designate. at all street
railroad crossings and that the street cars
shall. when at such crossings, remain at
standstill until the rear end of the street
cars then crossing have entirely passed
both of the tracks Of the line to be crossed
Such a regulation would give the special
police on these crossings as much authority
in an emergency as fagmen now have,
make travel much more safe at these
crossings and furnish all parties concerned
distinct understanding. j. II. b.

"St0p" Plates.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
! wish to express nay hearty approval of
the views of writer in Tuesdays Star
recommending the universal use of stop
plates at all street railway crossings There
Is nothing SO confusing at these crossings
as the lack of conformity to any given rule
or practice with regard to the point or
place for the stopping of street cars. Peo-
pie who are frequent daily visitors at these
functions will bear me out in the state
ment that no street car stops twice at the
same point, and more especially is this
true If the motOrman is in q hurry You
Will notice he will slow up above or below
where you are standing, and the crossing
policeman will either fail to see any yio-
lation OF law, or II he does he can suggest
no remedy because Of this general misun-
derstanding. Another plainly noticeable
danger which calls for official action is the
failure of motormen In general to show
more care and consideration in the matter
OF starting their trains too quickly before
the train, having the right of way and
| then in the act Of crossing. has entirely
passed over the several tracks to be cross
ed. Ii frequently happens that another
street car Is moving in such close 'proXim-
ity to threaten collisions as well as
dangers to pedestrians and vehicles cross
ing, with the trains having the right of
way. A train may thus be brought into
such a close position that should anything
happen TO the controller brakes of either
train. or should a motorman lose control
of his car. or miscalculate the distances
there would be a more or less serious ac-
cident. l am not unmindful that we will
have accidents until the end of time but
we can certainly reduce the number by
framing our laws TO meet the exigencies
Of these progressive days and by strictly
enforcing their provisions.
