STOPPED ON THE NEAR Side
New Regulation Governing street
Cars in Effect Yesterday.
Many Patrons of the Railways Pu1-
zIed-Few Remembered the Change
All Were Not Good Natured and
the Motormcn Were Amused.

Every street car in Washington, when
IL stopped at a crossing yesterday, came
to a standstiIi on the near side Ihe
much talked of near side regulation AT
last went into effect. Though seemingly
only a slight change in the regulations
governing the operation of the rapid
transit facilities, it caused considerable
surprise anger. and occasionally pro-
family. Perhaps that was due to the fact
that the new order confiicted with the
custom of the residents OF the National
Capital. who for months boarded street
cars on the far side Of the crossings.
All the people could hardly be expected
to remember that the new regulation was
ordered to so into effect on st. Patrick $
Day. They could hardly sbe expected to
keep that in mind-and they didn't. 1t is
doubtful if before 12 o'clock noon more
than Il few persons were on the near side
of the crossings when waiting for cars
1t was even stated that the Commission
ers. who were instrumental in bringing
about the change as result of recent
accident. were obliged to cross over to
board the car.
Perhaps after Il man had been FOOLED
once or twice he was able to remember
about the change. In such cases he could
take his station on the proper side of the
crossing and gloat over the unfortunates
who unaware of their predicament. were
waiting on the opposite side. The disposi-
tions of the motormen had much to do
with the condition of the tempers of the
would be passengers who waited on the
wrong side.
Good natured motormen would bring
their car to a sudden halt on the near
side of the street, having nearly forgotten
the new rule themselves, and then Deckcn
the person, or persons, on the far SIDE TO
| come over to the car Such action had
the effect of making the change trivial
matter. But the other variety of motor
| man. was the one who brought down exc
crations galore on the heads of street
railway men in general and the changers
of laws. This latter type of motorman
was he who stopped his car on the near
side for a perceptible instant and then
turning the current on full, shot past
the waiting passengers without even look
ing at them. Sometimes he tantalized
them by waiting on the near side until
they started toward the car. When they
had nearly reached II. the car would start
with a jump and then there would be a
short and futile race after the fieeting
brass railing on the rear platform. All
calibre of cpithets would then be hurled
after the speeding car.
OF course. the change is bound to he
a beneficial one" said a good-natured
man who had been left but at present
of Sunday for many. There Will doubt
less be another day of ignorance regard
ing the change Tomorrow will witness
simply a dawning comprehension. A day
or so more of misunderstanding and then
people will wait for the cars on the near
to do so ever since L'Enfant- sailed up
the Potomac"

TWO WOMEN ACCUSED OF THEFT
They Deny Stealing IA Diamond PIN
From Cnptain shelley.

a sequel TO the theft OF a diamond pin
worth s25o from Capt. William Shelley, OF
1913 Street northeast. a week prior TO
the Inauguration. may be found IN the
arrest Yesterday OF Hazel Newton ana
Chaunt Garland. on charges OF grard ar
ceny The women are held at the House
OF Detention to await a nearing inns
morning. Captain Shelley saw them yes
terday afternoon. and is said to have ideh-
titled the Newton woman as one of those
who accosted him on Pennsylvania Ave
nue. northwest the night of the robbery.
His Identification Of Chaunt Garland as
her companion was not absolutely GER
tain, but Captain Shelley says he believes
the prisoners were together when he was
robbed
Captain Shelley first reported the loss
of the pin on the night of February q.
and gave esdescription of the woman who,
he said. had robbed him. About that time
crooks we've beginning to flock to the city
for the Inauguration. making difficult the
task of detection Of the alleged thieves.
According to the story told by Shelley to
the police. he was walking along Penn
sylvania Avenue. near Eleventh Street
northwest, when he met two wo-
men They spoke plea sanity to him. and
one insisted that she had met the captain
before. This was annoying to- Shelley, he
says and after talking some time with
the women. be excused himself and LETT
them. f5E
Captain Shelby had walked less than
block when he missed his scarfpin. The
women had disappeared. He went home,
told his wife all about the affair. and the
next morning reported the matter ut
headqua rterS.
a sharp lookout for women answering
the description of those wanted was kept
during the Inauguration, but no arrests
were made. After the crowds left town
information was received by Detectives
Miller and Peck. that one OF the women ac-
cused of the theft was in Baltimore. Yes
terday Miller went to Baltimore and ar
rested the Newton woman. Meanwhile
Detective Peck had arrested Channt Car
land at her home. 322 Missouri Avenue
northwest. Both women Were questioned
at headquarters and sent to the House
of Detention.
Hazel Newton is said to have admitted
being here during the Inauguration. She
says, however. that she never saw Cap
tain Shelley before yesterday and knows
nothing about his diamond pin. While
here. she says, she occasionally stopped
with the Garland woman. Both prisoners
are about twenty-five years of age.
Scarfpin snatchers generally work in
pairs. Their plan is for one to engage the
victim in conversation while the other
watches for an opportunity to get the pin.
The detectives say the scheme works very
easily. and that people lose scarfpins In
that way and never suspect how they lost
them.
