Reports of Changes.

When d change in grade about a pole is
made It should be reported to the engineer,
but no such report was made. He could not
tell If the change of grade was made in a
day or If it was the result of natural ac-
cumula, ION.
James Ford. co,ored, 621 New York ave-
nue., employed as a porter in the depot tes-
titled that he was looking for the 1918
train when Copp passed him, going in the
direction of the pole. Witness saw him
ascend the pole and also saw him fall with
the pole. He heard no cracking of the pole
nor did he hear an cutlery. Copp, he said
was at the top of the pole when the acct
dent occurred. The pole looked solid before
the accident, but it did not look so after
ward.
Witness said the pole broke just above
the ground He said he was told that Mr.
Fritz had warned Copp (his brother-in-law)
not to go up the poles in such a hurry. Wit
ness said he had worked about the depot
for about year, but he knew nothing of an
inspection of the pole or of a change in
the grade around IT.
DR.. Fisher, acting deputy coroner, testi-
fled that he performed an autopsy on Cops
body. He found a large bruise across his
body, q cut across his head and broken
arm. There was also fracture of the
skull. Death resulted from hemorrhage.

Mechanical Details Explained.

Mr.. D. S. CARL, chief engineer and gen.
eral manager of the Capital Traction Com
pany. explained the mechanical details Of
the company's plans. The act calls for the
use of a single set of tracks for both COM
panies wherever the routes coincide. This
would mean that the Capital Traction Com
pany should throw its cars onto the Metro
politan tracks at the junction of LIST and c
streets northwest, instead of one block fur
Their up, or at the B. and o. depot, as at
present intended. 1t is claimed by the
citizens that the act is explicit in calling
for the abandonment and removal Of the
present tracks Of the company on the north
side of street. Mr.. CARL explained the
engineering difficulties in the way of join
ing the tracks at LIST and c streets north
west and urging approval of the plans Of
permitting the junction Immediately op-
posite the depot on c street.
Vice President George H. Harries of the
Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany spoke in approval of Mr.. CarlTs idea
and Of the practical impossibility and dan
ger of any other plan. He went into some
OF the details Of the difficulties of under
ground electric railway conduit construc-
ton and the impracticability of operating
cars up hill over a number of cut-outs in
the conductor rails. In regard to the dou-
BILE tracks on LIST street, he said that the
only corporation to succeed Is the one that
does what the people want it to do The
double track was needed, as President Dun
lop had said, for the accommodation of the
Inauguration crowds

President Dunlop Heard.

President G. T. Dunlop, president OF the
Capital Traction Company. was the first TO
be heard He stated that for years his COM
pany had sought the privilege OF loop
around what is known as the Maltby House
square, and had not applied for the privi-
leges granted in the act of Congress under
which a permit to construct tracks was now
asked No request for such bill was ever
made. and its provision and alignment was
not known to the company until 1t had been
announced in the newspapers and had be-
come a law. 1t had always been cardi-
nal principle of the Traction Company
never to run its cars over the tracks OF
another company, and to prevent. as Tar as
possible, the running of other cars over us
own tracks In the present case, however
he declared there was nothing else to be
done.
Mr.. Dunlop told of visit made by him
and Mr. George Truesdell, at the time pres
ident Of the Washington Traction com
pany, to Senator Mcmillan, chairman of the
Senate District committee. regarding the
bill which was then law. Senator NC
MILAN stated he was the inspiration OF the
measure, and that he and Engineer Com
missioner Beach were its authors. The idea
of the trainers of the BILL he said, was to
permit the Traction Company to run Its
cars for the benefit of patrons to the pro-
posed new site of the Baltimore and Ohio
depot, which is said to be two blocks east
of Its present location. Mr.. Dunlop said 1t
would be nuisance to operate the cars
over other tracks, with the necessary cut
outs. switches. ETC., but for the accommo-
dation Of the public the company was will
ing to undertake the task.
ut is a law he said. land we propose
to carry it out Commissioner Beach framed
the law and we hope for the Commission
ers approval of our plans OF carrying 1t
out. The Commissioners have the power
under 1t of designating the location OF the
proposed tracks IN the streets named"
Mr.. Dunlop explained that the two tracks
were wanted on C. street for the storing Of
cars for few hours every four years or SO
during the progress of public ceremonies,
so that the crowds in dispensing might be
properly handled and accommodated. He
said the cars would be used by the Wash
ington Traction and Electric Company for
the same purpose, and there was no objec-
fiop on their mart

In Behalf of Property Holder.


Mr.. H. A. Dodge, q resident of LIST street
spoke in behalf of the property holders Of
that thoroughfare. He said there was no
objection to single track, but that a
double track would leave but ten feet of
space on either side, which was not suffi-
clent for the traffic there. First street he
said, Is the first street east of the Capitol
grounds through which heavy wagons are
not allowed to pass He declared the law
involved had for its object the prevention
of further parking and switching of cars
at the present terminus of the 14th street
line at the Baltimore and Ohio depot on c
street, and to bring the Capital Traction
Company nearer the new site of the depot
1t did not intend to grant the privilege of
parking cars on 1st street, no matter what
the occasion might be.
They say" Mr.. Dodge continued, they
want to use this track only once in four
years or so, but once they get 1t down, no
one knows what they will do with it,
He pointed out in the plans the number
of switches and cross-overs proposed on 1st
street. and declared Mr.. Dunlop to be in
consistent in his declaration of the nui-
sance of operating cars over such cut-up
tracks.
II heard a gentleman say" Mr. Dodge
declared. that Mr.. Dunlop and his COM.
pany would do nothing averse to the wishes
of the property holders on 1st street."
What was his Manner interrupted Mr..
Dunlop.
LAS it was complimentary to you his
name may not De necessary, repileQ MT.

"But I like to know my friends" added
Mr.. Dunlop.
IT will tell you on the quiet" suggested
Mr.. Dunlop.
II don't like things on the quiet" said
Mr.. Dunlop. Il like them open and above
board
That's right" said Mr.. Dodge.
He then went on to say the Capital Trac-
ton Company proposed to construct grid
iron on c street. If double track were
permitted there 1t would mean the inevita-
bic widening OF the street. the coming
down OF the shade trees and the cutting of
Of parking. This would be exceedingly in
