to place Maryland in The republican

GRAND LARCENY THE CHARGE.
Thomas Brooks Arrested for Alleged
Thefts From His Employer.

Thomas Brooks, colored, a porter. for
merly employed by George C. Abrams, Of
72S Fifteenth Street northwest, was
taken into custody late yesterday after
noon by Detectives Horne and Weldon
and locked up at the First precinct sta
tion on a charge of grand larceny. The
prisoner is said to admit his quit, ana
he will be arraigned today in the Police
Court.
The accused occasionally collected bills
for his employer, and shortly over a week
ago he is said TO have obtained S14 on az
account for which he made no return,
When questioned about the matter at the
time, Brooks is alleged to have claimed
that he lost the money, and he then
agreed TO refund the amount in install
ments With this understanding the mat
ter was dropped. Just before II o'clock
yesterday. however, Mr.. Abrams gave
Brooks $40 to deposit in bank, and with
this money the prisoner is said to have
disappeared. A report Of the occurrence
was made to the police. Detective Wee
don met Brooks coming down Seventh
Street. near ID. during the afternoon and
took him to headquarters. There he was
examined and later locked up.
At the station last night the accused
was examined by Detective Browne and
is said 10 have admitted the theft. In
explanation of his conduct Brooks stated
that he had lost the funds in gambling
at Jackson City.

STREET RAILWAY EXTENSION.
The Proposed Act for the MetropOI-
ffan Line on Columbia Road.

nan Line on Columbia Road.
The District Commissioners submitted
yesterday morning to the chairmen of the
TWO District Committees in Congress, a re
port on Senate bill 2O13. and House bill
$685., proposed acts requiring the Metro
politan Railroad Company TO extend its
lines on Columbia Road and Sixteenth
Street.
The Commissioners enclosed map show
ing the contemplated extension of the rail-
road and stated that they believed it very
desirable.
They suggested that a provision OF the
act be stricken out, which says that no
tracks shall be placed on the Sixteenth
Street extension to the highway plan In
the following terms the Commissioners
cited their opinions upon this subject:
TO accomplish the result laying OF
tracks, it would be necessary that the
widening proposed in this bill, Of the old
Sixteenth Street be made entirely on the
west side OF the street. and while this
might be accomplished with ease at the
south end of the street. the effect at the
north end would be TO remove the small
triangular space at Seventeenth. Grant,
and Sixteenth Streets, which was dedi-
Gated to the District by the late II. D.
projection of the railroad would necessar-
lily be small. and, 1t is believed. would be
In the street but little more than il the
street car tracks went directly across Six
teenth Street and the matter can be taken
into consideration when the plans are laid
before the Commissioners directly prior TO
the construction of The road.
In reference to the terminal arrange
ments at the north end OF the extension,
the Commissioners say:
This section of the District is a growing
one, and will develop quite rapidly after
the extension of the street car line herein
proposed. Under these circumstances, it
is believed that any terminal arrangement
must be more or less temporary; and TO
compel the company to put in an expen-
sive terminal arrangement OF underground
construction now would probably require
it to go to additional expense, in short
time, to obtain terminal facilities de-
manded by the growth OF the locality
The Commissioners make many sugges-
lions regarding the changes of the Ian
guage In certain sections OF the act, and
speak at length on the widening OF streets,
condemnation of property, etc.
The bill in its revised condition was en-
closed In letters to Congress. II provides
for the extension. OF TIE tracks of the
Metropolitan Railroad from the preseD.
terminus at Eighteenth Street and Column
bia Road, along Columbia Road easterly
to the old Sixteenth Street, and then
northerly In Sixteenth Street to Park
Street. The bill also provides for the
widening to eighty feet OF Sixteenth Street
and Columbia Road. along the proposed
extension of the tracks.
