Your circular letter of September 6 has been received, and in reply would state that the street car companies in Washington are required to equip all cars with lenders, and after an experi- ence of several years it is safe to say that the cars would not be permitted to run without them. The city authorities test any fender which the companies may desire to use, and any fender which will operate satisfactorily is per mitted. Very respectfully,

Your inquiry of September has been received. Some years ago we re- quired the street cars to provide fem ders, and they did so for a while. At present they are not using them. Neither do they use air brakes. The Jackson vile Street Railway Company, a trolley me furnishing its own power, operates all the street car lines in the city We rarely have any accidents. I am in clined to think that our experience tended to show that the lenders did not give any protection worth mentioning.
 'If there is anything further that you would like me to inquire into, I shall be glad o do so. Yours very truly,

Your favor of recent date asking my opinion in regard to the equipment of street cars with lenders is at hand, and in reply will say that I wired the Age Herald a few days since my views upon this subject in answer to an inquiry from this paper. You will no doubt be able to get copy of this paper and see the article.
 Twill say, however, that the street cars in this city are all equipped with fenders required to be placed thereon by State statute. I do not know what character of lenders Is used, but would suggest that you write to the general manager of the street railway system here for this information. Very re- spectfully, 'J. M. HEAD,

T have to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 9th inst, requesting certain information regarding car fend- CTS. etc. In reply beg to say. that we have an ordinance covering the fender question, a copy of which you will find enclosed. Regarding the air brakes would state that the large, heavy cars running through the city to the seaside resorts are in most cases, provided with airbrakes; while those running in the city proper use the hand brakes.
 ''The lenders used are not all alike. however, some of them being made of rope netting with an iron frame, while others are composed entirely of iron. They are in all cases attached to the front end of the car. would state that from our experience, fender properly attached to a car Is a great safeguard. Yours very respectfully.

Alderman George B. Ward, as chair man of the committee appointed by the Mayor to investigate the practicability of street car lenders. has received more than one hundred letters relative to the experience of cities throughout the United States. These letters are from the May ors of all the large cities and represent the thought of city councils on the use of lenders.
 Out of one hundred letters, ninety-three favored the use of lenders, five gave no expression of opinion and two declared them worthless. Of the one hundred cities represented every one but five have laws requiring the use of fenders
 The following letters give a general idea of the expressions:
 Columbus, Ohio.
 "The street cars of our city have been equipped for some time with lenders for the protection of life, and the street car company says that they have been very successful in such protection.
 
 Tn conversation with an officer of the company, he said that they worked very well and that they would not be with out them.
 "They have been the means of saving many lives in this city since their use here; in one particular instance picking up man and his wheel without injur- ing either.
 The kind of lenders used here are the Dittrick Tenders, which are manufac- tured at Cleveland, o.
 "A few of the Intrurban line use the Air Breaks, but the lines operting ex- clusively within the city do not use them. II enclose you the ordinance of the city regulating the use of lenders, hoping the same may be of use to you. Very respectfully,
 "CLARENCE M. ADDISON,

Yours of 9th instant is at hand. We use lenders on the cars of our street rail- ways, and I think they are helpful when persons are struck. Our experience had led me to believe that they should be placed on all railway cars.
 "The method of construction is difficult to explain in writing. They are simply an iron frame, with open network. In some cities I have noticed cushions on them. We have none. Yours truly

THE EASTMAN MURDER TRIAL.


Cambridge Mass, April 29.-The pro-
ceedings to-day at the Eastman muir
der trial again favored the defense and
the Harvard instructor left the court
room this afternoon with a smile on
his face through the favorable evidence
of one of the principal government wit
nesses and a comforting decision by the
court in ruling out the defendants tes-
timony before the grand jury winch IN
dicted him. There is pending, however,
a most important decision from the
court, which will be given tomorrow
morning, on the question of the admls-
sion of evidence showing bitter quar-
rel between the two men some seven
months before the shooting. Long ar
guments were made this afternoon on
the admission of this evidence. Nu-
merous supreme court decisions We're
quoted and tomorrow morning the
court will render its decision, which
may drive away the smiles from the
prisoners face.

Admits 1T Was Fixed Loses Decision -
Seeks Police Protection.

Boston, April 29-The first big
wrestling match for years in Boston
ended in a flzzle tonight, to all appear
ances, although Harvey Parker, Of
Brockton, was given the decision over
Ernest Roeber, the worlds champion
at Graeco- Roman. The decision had to
be given as it was, because Roeber re-
fused to continue wrestling at the end
of the first hour, claiming that his un-
derstanding was that an hour was the
limit for bout if no fall was taken in
shorter time. The general understand
ing was that the men should Wrestle
until fall was gained, and ROBBERS s
claim gave the $500 men in Mechanics
hall a disagreeable surprise, although
Parker's friends from Brockton We're
highly elated.
The men wrestled at Graeco-Roman,
according to agreement, which was ac-
knowledged to be in ROBBERS favor,
Parker to have the next try at catch
as-ca.tch-ca After the referees de-
cson there was much argument on the
stage and this woke up the crowd un-
til d free fight seemed likely Finally
Roeber said that he was scheduled TO
win the Graeco-Roman bout, Parker
the next, the catch h-as-catch-can, and
that he was to win the third, although
the money was to be divided equally
with Parker Roeher justified himself
in part by stating that he was In no
physical condition to continue, as he
had not prepared himself"
In the disturbance which followed
Roeber ran to his dressing room and Sc
cured police protection. Later the ex-
element quieted down.

FAVOR GIVING M'KINLEY DEGREE
Harvard Overseers Unanimously in
Favor of Him.

Favor of Him.
Boston. April 29-At meeting of
the Board of Overseers of Harvard uni
versity, held here to-day, the question
of granting the degree of doctor of laws
to President William Mckinley was
taken up informally and the sentiment
expressed was unanimously in favor Of
the step. The matter will come up for
formal action at meeting of the over
seers lust before commencement in
June, according to the usual custom.
Great interest in the action of the
overseers had been aroused because
some Of the alumni of Harvard had
made public a protest against the prop
osition to confer the degree upon the
president 1t was the generally ex
pressed opinion after the meeting Of
the board to-day that the list of hon
orary degrees formerly conferred by
Harvard gives good precedent for ac-
ton in the present case. Moreover, the
feeling seemed to prevail among the
overseers that Harvard already had
suffered by the wide publicity which
has been given to the matter, and 1T is
desired tnat the dtllLuue Ol llie SoNClh-
ing body will end the discussion.
At the meeting to-day information
was gained that the invitation to Pres
ident Mckinley to attend the COM
mencement exercises at Harvard this
wear was not extended by Senator Hoar
personally. as appears to have been the
general opinion, but was given by the
corporation of Harvard university.
