Plans of the Warrington Traction

The annual meeting Of the stockholders
OF the Washington Traction and Electric
Company was held this morning at Norfolk
Va Directors were chosen as follows, be-
ing practically reelection Of the old
board: Geo. H. Harries, A. A. Wilson, 8. W.

1t 1s probable that as soon as the details
OF the consolidation of the various street
railroad and electric lighting properties in
this District which are controlled by this
company can be arranged, in accordance
with the details of the bill enacted at the
recent session Of Congress, this COMPANY
Will practically go out of existence Ac-
cordlng to the recent legislative authority,
the Great Falls Company is permitted to
acquire the franchises of all the other
companies, and then is allowed to change
Its own name. 1t is believed to be the
purpose OF the managers not to adopt the
name or the present holding company, the
Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany, but that some other will be chosen.
The details of the proposed consolidation
are SO numerous that 1t will probably be
several months before they are completed.
1t will be necessary to hold meetings of
the stockholders OF the eleven street rail-
ROAD companies and the two electric light
Ing companies controlled by this corpora
ton in order to take the preliminary steps.
When this shall be done the process of
consolidation will go on as rapidly as pos
slDle, ana In the course Of a few months
there will be but one railroad system in
name. as well as IN fact, in place of the
several separate concerns which I'D tn n
year or so ago managed the various stree.

The arrangement for Flag day next
Thursday. far the public schools are
concerned. are still incomplete. In connec-
ton with the affair 1t is of interest to know
that there are two distinct patriotic socie-
ties In the District of Columbia the District
of Columbia Society. Sons of the American
Revolution. and the Sons Of the Revolution.
The members of the flag committee Of the
Sons OF the American Revolution are: Brig.

alive. The fact that. he had not returned
home, however, could not be obliterated.
Her boy had always been dutiful and had
never remained away all night without tell
ing her beforehand. and she was finally
forced to the belief that the drowned boy
was her son.
The card he had written before leaving
home was found in the pocket Of his cloth
ing in the bath house.
A message received at the house this
morning confirmed the report received last
night. During the inquest held at the
beach this morning the jury was told Of a
complaint made by the boy before he en-
tered the water that he was feeling I'M
well. He was drowned in very shallow
water and the belief was expressed by some
of the witnesses that he was taken with
cramps and was unable to help himself
after he fell.

ALL LINES IN OPERATION
CARS RUNNING IN ST, LOUIS WITH
OUT POLICE PROTECTION.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 12.-An the divis-
Ions and lines Of the st. Louis Transit
Company were in operation today, but only
a portion Of tho regular number of cars
were running. The experiment Of sending
out cars over some Of the lines without po-
lice guards having worked satisfactorily
yesterday, that plan was carried out to-
day on several additional divisions. Owing
to the mayors proclamation there was COM
paratively little trouble during the morning,
the injunction forbidding the use Of explo-
s!ves or firearms and warning those hav-
ing no business on the streets to keep on
apparently had good effect.
Both the strikers and the authorities are
preparing statements and making up lists
OF witnesses to be heard at the coroners
inquiry. which tomorrow will endeavor to
settle the responsibility for Sundays kill

following statement regarding the 81. LOUIS

state government and st. Louis police de-
partment to enforce respect for law In st.

didate for denomination. not desiring to Of
fend. positively refuses to cooperate with
us. which lends encouragement to the law
less element and tmpedes our progress to-
ward restoration Of normal conditions.
The president Of the board Of police COM
missioners writes me as follows:
"Hepry Zeigenhein, mayor Of st. Louis,
has persistently refused to attend the meet
ings of the police board, Of which he is a
member, or to give us assistance of any
kind at this critical period. His honor. in
spite Of sundry requests. has persistently
refused to assist the board in any way. and
1t is my belief that his failure to do so has
worked great harm to us in this crisis.
Especially do deplore the fact, as presl-
dent Of the police board. that he refused to
issue proper sort Of proclamation to keep
the peace and for the dispensing Of mobs.'
The governor then goes on to defend his
own course throughout the strike, and adds
that the state militia Is held ready to re-
spond to a callpifrom the mayor of St.

In HIS speech in the Senate yester'

gressionsl representation from TIE
South, on account of the small vote CAST
at her elections, Senator Morgan said
no white man, anywhere, would quiet
ly accept negro denomination, as II
would be a thorn in the flesh and
would rankle until removed. and that
if Southern white men had resorted 10
fraud to cut down the negro vote, they
have the stronger. if not the better res-
son. that they did so in selfdefense and
10 defense Of their families. The sen
stor is wrong on expansion, but that be
is right:on the idea that this is q white
mans government. no intelligent and
disinterested white man entertsins
doubt: and all that white man, VINO
thinks otherwise has to DO, in order 70
agree with him, is to come South and
live here a short time.
