OPERATION OF STREET RAILWAYS.
Gen. Harries Writes an Interesting
Letter to the COmmissiOners

Gen. Harries Writes an Interesting
Letter to the COmmissiOners.
Miss Lillian w. Thompson Of 741 7th
street southeast recently wrote to the Dis
trict Commissioners complaining Of the al
legged unsatisfactory service on the Ana
costa branch of the Washington Traction
and Electric Company The letter was for
warded by the Commissioners to Gen. Geo.
II. Harries, vice president of the Anacos-
tia and Potomac River Railroad Company
and in reply Gen. Harries has addressed a
communication to Col. Biddle, the Engi-
neer Commissioner, in which he says:
This company is doing all in it's power
to render to the travelling public the best
possible service. 1t is true In Washing
ton, as in all other cities where there is
street railroad service, that at certain
hours of the day the cars are necessarily
crowded. For that condition there is no
known practical remedy. Theoretically it
Is possible to work out all manner of plans
contact with the every day fact the theory
collapses. We are operating during the
business hours not merely all the cars this
company owns, but all the cars We can
rent, and our schedules have been arranged
so as to give our patrons the best possn' 3
service and at the same time to avoid con-
hict with our employees. You will, of
course, see how impossible it would be fer
us to hire sufficient number of capable
men to work only during the three widely
separated hours OF the day which We term
busy hours
"As to the character of the cars oper-
ated, permit me to say that they were con-
structed for the purpose of doing that al
most impossible thing-the pleasing of
everybody. There is the box portion of the
cars for those who prefer a closed vehicle
and there Is the open section for those who
cry aloud for fresh air. and there is the
reservation in the closed section for those
who may desire to smoke. Once In a while
there is more or less adverse comment
made by people who always want to ride
in box cars at the operation Of open trail
ers, yet just as soon as we take off the
open trailers there comes a tremendous
outcry from the smokers and from those
who believe in fresh air no matter how low
the mercury may be.
I'VE must undoubt edly be of one mind as
to the impossibility of pleasing everybody.
and I do not thing there can be any diff
ference Of opinion between us to the ef-
forts Of this company to do this impossible
thing"
Col. Biddle has recommended that the
writer of the complaint be informed of
the company's position as shown by Gen.
Harries' letter.

sation between the gateman of the Kahn
of Bethlehem, impersonated by Benson
Thomas and rabbi. Gerald johnson, IN
which the crowded condition of the inn
was discussed, and mention made of the
necessity of using a portion of the stable
inn. A gathering of Hebrew women. dis
cussing the arrival OF the latest caravans
from Damascus, was next presented, those
participating being Ethel Pate, Minnie
Meyers and Charles Calhoun. The act
closed with the discovery by the gateman
Of the star overhead, and the arousing of
the guests Of the inn.
The second act was a striking presenta-
ton of the apparition of the shepherds in
the Judean field. the shepherds being i'm
personated by Bruce Cleveland, Howard
Cleveland, John McDuell, Burton Leary,
Stephen Truesdell. Robert Swingle and
Emery LASER. The chorus of the angels
was sung with beautiful effect by an in
visible chorus Of girls, composed of Ger
trude Thomas, soloist; Florence Simpson,
Helen Harrington, Ethel Harrington, Lii
liam Klein, Vera Pearman, Eva Mcknight,
Elizabeth Day, Jessie Herriott, and Ruth
Bently.
The third act presented a group of Jew
ish women in the court yard Of the inn at
Bethlehem engaged in their early morning
duties Those taking the parts were Ruth
Lang, Claribe1 Weigel and Grace Houchen,
the latter rendering well a solo part. While
engaged with their work the women dis
cover the approach of a caravan, which is
bringing the wise men from the east, who
come with gifts to worship the newborn
King, whose star they have seen in the
east. Wilbur L. Wright, jr.. Charles Cor
don and George Prince took the part of the
wise men, and George Young and Frank
Davis were the keepers of the gate Of the
Kahn.
The exercises were brought to a close
ing sung by Charlotte Thomas. Edna
Grim, Edna Royer. Ruth Adams, Marguer-
lite Evans. Marie Johnson, Martha RowZee,
Gladys Harrington, Ruth Zellers and Do
rothy Hanvey, the latter rendering the solo
part very happily Santa Claus, imper-
sonated by Mr.. Norton NJ. Little, was next
introduced and directed the distribution Of

HAY WILL REMAIN.

President Urges the Secretary Not
to Rcsign, and Not in Vain.
Washington, Dec. 22.-In view of the
repeated publications of late to the
general effect that Secretary Hay is
about to retire from the cabinet, a
statement is given with full authority
that Secretary Hay does not now con-
template retirement. This statement
applies not only to the present, but to
that indefinite period fixed by the con-
clusion of the negotiations necessary
to the construction of an isthmian
canal. Also it is stated with equal
positiveness and authority that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has in the strongest
terms expressed to Secretary Hay his
earnest desire that he shall remain in
the cabinet, of which he forms one of
the principal props. Thus. according
to the statement, the secretary's in
clination and the presidents desires
run together and there is no foundation
for the reports that Secretary Hay is
to leave his post.
