How 1t Would Work,
To the Editor Of The Evening Start

10 the Editor OF Inc EYeplDg start
The recent agitation by the Washington
Traction Company Of change on the Ten
leytown and Brightwood railroads back to
tickets-for-a-quarter has been very re-
markable, for the very fact Of doing so
would reduce the income to the company
instead of increasing 1t.
To illustrate, consider a citizen living in
Tenleytown and who goes back and forth
into the city each day In the year or who
makes 73O trips. If the passenger buys six
tickets for % cents the Tenleytown road
receives $30.42 for the service.
Now, suppose the passenger buys the four
for-twenty-five-cent tickets and goes in the
the law authorizing that form of ticket 1t
Is optional which road he uses in going
from Georgetown, the Tenleytown line will
receive 1882 for those tickets.
But the law also requires the Tenleytown
road to redeem that form Of ticket, not by
exchange, as Is the case of the tickets sold
six for % cents, but at the rate of two and
a half cents each, or the TenleytOwn road
must pay to the Capital Traction Company,
in the above example. s1S.25 for the 7SO
coupon tickets taken up on the latter road.
That amount taken from $45.& leaves
S27 81 or $3O5 less than had six tickets for
% cents been used. SO 1t Will be seen that
in a year the Tenleytown road will incur
loss of $3.Oo on each passenger who uses
the four tickets for 25 cents or six for the
same amount
The same condition, without doubt, would
apply to the Brightwood road, and 1t would
be interesting for the actuary Of the Wash
ington Traction Company to explain how,
under the plan of four tickets for % cents,
he expects. in the event on the 1st of Sep
TENDER his company reverts back to the old
plan, to provide next year for that $4,000
loss sustained this. by the Brightroad road,
because they sold six tickets for 25 cents in
stead OF really four for 10.

DENOUNCED AS UNTRUE.
Gen. Dud1ey's Political Position Has
Undergone No Change.

Gen. Dudley's Political Position Has
Undergone No Change.
The report which has been circulated in
this city and elsewhere to the effect that
Gen. w. w. Dudley, former commissioner
of pensions, has changed his political affili-
ations and expects to support Bryan on the
stump and otherwise, is denounced by him
as absolutely untrue. The rumor was
called to General Dudleys attention today
by Star reporter, and by way of COM
ment he said:
II could not be more surprised were 1t
stated that 1 had taken up arms against
the United States on behalf Of the Filipinos
than to hear that such story Is being cir
culated about me. 1 was born and reared
| a whig, trained as a wide awake; have been
an active working republican since 1860,
and have always been credited with being
| q republican who was willing to sacrifice
| everything he had but honor for the MAIN
tenance OF his party. l cannot, therefore,
| imagine how anyone could think for an in
slant of my having far changed my
whole makeup as to be willing to support
the democratic party, It's platform OF cam
didates.
"A silly story was sent from Philadelphia
to one OF the city papers during the repub-
lican convention that 1t was understood
there that l contemplated coming out for
Bryan. l requested the correspondent of
that paper to emphatically contradict the
story. which he did in a subsequent pub
LEGATION, and l supposed the matter had
dropped entirely. have never. by word
thought or act, given any one grounds upon
which to build any such story There is no
attraction to me in the so-called para
mount issue of anti-imperialism with which
the democratic party is seeking to ALLEVIATE
republican voters, especially in view of the
methods Of Acknowledgement by which it is
seeking to enslave American citizens in
North and South Carolina and other south
ern states for the purpose Of giving Bryan
a solid SOUTH
Unfortunately, my professional engage
ments are such that 1t will be impossible
for me to spend all my time between this
and the election in campaign work, but 1
do expect to make speeches for Mckinley
and the republican ticket, national. con-
gressional and state, in Indiana during the
month of October. 1 would gladly do more
If could to help the republican candidates
and party generally, but not being ac-
lively engaged in politics and being ac-
lively engaged in the practice of law, it will
be impossible for me to do more than 1
have stated.
II thank you for giving me this oppor-
tunity to nail this campaign lie concerning
myself"

PERSUADED TO COME HERE.
Old Man Expected President to Start
Him in Business.

IT isn't guilty" was the response OF an
elderly colored man named Henry Parsons
when called upon in Judge Mills court this
morning to answer charge of vagrancy.
Yesterday said Policeman Hall, Il
found the old man wandering about the
streets So far as I could ascertain, he
has no means of support. He came here
from way down south, and said he wanted
to see President Mckinley"
Judge" said the old man, II was In
Africa six years and contracted malaria
fever
"You look as If you have just come from
there" the court remarked. where Is
your homer"
81 live at Admission, Alabama" the de-
PENDANT said, land three weeks ago my old
woman died. I've only got two children to
support, and 1 left them in charge of a
good woman
why did you come here?'
Because the white folks of Admission
and Lynchburg persuaded me to come
here. 1 thought If l could see the Presi-
dent he might set me up in a little bust
ness so can support my children"
Judge Mills released the old man, and
Agent Massey of the Prisoners Aid So
ciety will look after him temporarily.
